Former Adventurer archievement how to do?
I am using xboxcontroller, so telling me which buttons at keyboard wont help me. :steamhappy:

I am trying to get this archievements and dodge and kills enemy over 9000 times. (alright, a small joke about a meme but it is definility far more than 25) I have googled and i think i do understand it now.

On controller i need to press B to dodge and then Y to stick a arrow in their knees so they get cripple and after the crounch away i need to kill them with gun and all of this 25 times?

Also it is important to not fully upgrade the brawler skills, is that right? The last two ones will ruined the archievement right because they make Lara stick a arrow or axe in their heads for example instead sticking a arrow in their knees? Also dont unlocked the "axe expert" skill. So to be clear: unlocked the 1,2, 3 and 5th skill of Brawler skill. (pain tolerance, dirty tricks, axe strikes and dodge counter)

I am right now at shanty town and didnt unlocked the "dodge counter". Whats best place to farm the stick a arrow in their knees? Also are there more tips to know?

I've noticed, that getting yourself back to the checkpoints resets the progress - You have to play the story, and use the Dodge Counters, until you get it.

The same goes for the Zip lining enemies - Getting back to the checkpoints resets it.

Take in mind, that I am giving you informations based on my own experiences.
As for me, restarting checkpoints, (...) didn't work.

Shantytown, when you meet Grim is the best place, but there are more good places too.
For ex., when you get to Solarii Fortress after rescuing your friends in the Geothermal caves.

I've played the story numerous times already - Five or six times, I'd guess.

I dont have enough skillpoints earned right now in shantytown (i am at the side of the helicopter and killed them all, i know i will come across more enemies when i moved to other side but i dont have dodge counter skill), i dont understand how you guys can earned so much skillpoints early. I cant spend all my points to Brawser because to unlock the dodge counter i first need to unlock 4x Survivor skills (and 2 Hunter skills i believe). I just noticed the dirty trick skill is waste of my skillpoint because i didnt need it.

For the zipline archievement, i already own it. I own all singleplayer archievements except chatterbox and former adventurer since i am doing them wrong the last run. (chatterbox i didnt get it because i didnt go back to Roth shortly after receiving rope arrows).

But as far you know my explaining is correct? So i will get the archievement now?

Edit: i noticed you dont own "chatterbox" archievement. It is the only singleplayer archievement which you are missing (its a secret archievement, thats why you didnt know about it probally).

Well, I have been killing a lot of animals in the Coastal Forest, and I've had to make sure, that all the Challenges are completed.

I've also got every Document, Relic, ... Everything.

Dirty Tricks is a very good Perk to have.
Just Scramble and throw dirt - They'll be available to be killed via finisher, if I remember it correctly.

Pain Tolerance is one of the best Perks to have, but it's not really needed - Dodge Counter could be a better choice.

The first time I've played it, I focused on the story, then I've decided to focus on the achievements.

Thank you for letting me know about that achievement.
I didn't take a look, I guess.

me too, first run focus on story, second on archievements and story but i didnt get the two archievements i just talked about, so i did a third. I didnt do tomb challenges and or grab all thingies because i already own completionist.

I am doing a fourth run now, will catch animals and do more headshots. Two questions: Is GPS cache important too? And where i can see how much XP i have earned in total?

GPS Caches should give you around 15 XP per one, so, if you multiply 15 x 15 numerous times, it's worth it in the final result.
Play on low difficulty, and try to do as many Stealth Kills as possible.
During the combat, don't forget to aim for heads only to gain more XPs.

I recommend you to get the XP boosters ASAP - The Bow Mastery, Avid Learner, (...).
Don't forget Dodge Counter though. Go for that at the right time.

Getting every Relic in that location should reward you with 500 XP - If I'm not mistaken, the same goes for the Documents.

Some of the GPS caches require Shotgun to destroy the wooden walls with metal spiked wires.
The Challenges are definitely worth it.

Use IGN Guide walkthroughs, as they're having it very well described.

YEAAAAAAAHHHHH, FINALLY GET THE FORMER ADVERTURER ARCHIEVEMENT!!!

I get it when game is just for 40% completed and am right now in Shanty town. I received the dodge counter and started use in the hall with the big bell. The ones who shooting at me with machinegun i killed with bow or machinegun. The other people run to me and want melee me i stick a arrow in their knee and then shot with shotgun. The last few people is just in Shanty town, also same story: kill all shooting people and let other come to me so i can dodge them.

Now just finish the game for chatterbox and i have all solo archievements.

Well done!

I am busy with Rise Of The Tomb Raider, so, if I haven't already mentioned, I haven't played Tomb Raider in a few months.
Plus, Rocket League's Season Pass ends soon, so, I am gonna stick to that one too for the two remaining rewards.

About that Chatterbox, I have been looking at it, but, I must've missed someone before.
I've talked to Roth before and after bringing him the Medical supplies from the Wolves's den.

It is shortly after receiving rope arrow you will meet Roth and after cutscene you will popup somewhere else looking at blue smoke and you need to go back to Roth again and stay talking unlesh he stop talking. He tell you he did find a snipergun with bullets and he is happy about that.

This I have missed and I guess most people and you too since there isn't really a reason to go back to Roth .

Uhmm.. I've talked to him about this one aswell.

I must've missed something basic, and hella obvious then. :2016imnotcrying::awkward:

Here are 7 conversations:
1 Before accumulating 50 pieces of salvage, talk to Whitman.
2 After collecting 50 pieces of salvage but before you Strengthen the Pry Axe, talk to Whitman again. In Definitive edition, you can't talk to Whitman until AFTER you upgrade the Pry Axe. Talk to him before you open the gate though.
3 After helping Roth (when the wolves attack him), talk to Roth After heading after his pack.
4 Shortly after getting the Rope Arrows you will meet Roth again at the Village Overlook camp. Talk to him before going down the zip-line.
5 When reaching Shipwreck Beach you will meet your friends. Talk to Sam, Reyes and Jonah.
6 Before going to the Endurance (and Cliffside Bunker) to get Reyes' tools, talk to Whitman, Sam, Jonah and Reyes at the beach camp. Reyes will be on the PT boat if you cannot find her.
7 After coming back from the Endurance but before proceeding to the Research Base, talk to Whitman, Reyes and Jonah one last time.

I see i have missed number 2. That sucks.

Edit: i notice in replys many people didnt do the second conversation and get the archievement. So i still have hope.

Hey, thank you! :darkheart:
I'll definitely replay it someday to get this achievement!

But, as I've mentioned, I am kinda busy with my feelings. I still have to watch Balto 2, 3, 4, to play ROTTR, and RL a bit.

I just got the Chatterbox archievement. So it works. I did all except number 2.

By the way: i dont want to push you to get this archievement, i only was looking with you how to get it.

Rise is my next game i go playing. Shadow is almost completed but the time and score attack archievement is a bit heavy and frustrating.

Yes, yes, even if you'd wanted to push me, you wouldn't succeeded.

As for the ROTTR, I'll skip the achievements.
I tend to always use permanent cards, to enjoy the game mode, (...).

The Endurance, Cold Darkness are simply way too cool.

I don't want to sound strict, but if we'll talk about ROTTR, we should do it in the ROTTR subforums, as both games are different.
