Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Achievement guide · roadmap · tracker

100 achievements Guide 20% Singleplayer Difficulty affects achievements

You can get every achievement in one playthrough - but given you need to do a run on the hardest difficulty (for

One with the Jungle) and difficulty affects all sorts of things like the visiblity of collectibles it is strongly recommended that you run in two playthroughs; the first on normal difficulty for all the collectible/grind achievements and a 2nd (quick) playthrough on the hardest difficulty. Note that after the story there are no more enemies left to fight, so technically all the combat oriented achievements - grind or otherwise - are missable.
