Looking for advice to find last bow part.

[TacticalFaux]

Everything else except for challenges are complete, and I'm missing the last bow part. I have read the spawn location is somewhat random, and I found an online interactive map of possible spawns. I have checked all locations that I can access. (A couple I believe I am locked out of permently, but I'm hoping they were unmissable parts. So either it spawned in one of those areas I can't get to, and I missed it somehow, or it has spawned in an area not even on that map. Either way, any advice someone may have to help find it would be helpful.

It's only thing I'm missing for the "completely mod all weapons" achievement.

All I can think of to do now is either hope I stumble on it while doing challenges, wander around aimlessly until I find it, or restart the game. And I'd preferably not want to do either of the last two to get the achievement.

Try to collect every possible Salvage box, ride all the Tombs, and loot the Salvage iron chests.

If that won't help, unlock every Skill in the Survival category.

Loot all the enemies, if possible, and find all the Relics.

Regardless, you should be able to collect the best bow on the beach, in the location, where you'll get a challenge, called Minesweeper.

Challenges are there for bonus XPs, just like the Relics and Documents.
Anyways, it's worth to collect them all.

I'll try to replay it again and tell you, where I've found all the Bow Parts, if I won't forget.

Happy hunting, Lara.
The key is to focus. If you don't focus, your weapon will mean nothing.

Already got all relics, did all tombs, killed all enemies I could find (and they don't seem to be respawning), did Minesweeper, ran all around the beach, and I have all skills in all catagories. I've looted every salvage box I can find.

That's strange.

I keep thinking about a fact, that you must've missed a Salvage box somewhere - They are sometimes in the nets, hanging up above.

Seriously. Check every single destination.. I'll start to play it today or tomorrow, and I'll make sure to give you a feedback of screenshots, where those Bow parts can be found.
Bow parts only, I won't probably count Shotgun, Rifle, or Handgun parts, but I'll see.

It's fine. Bow is all I need.

[Shiro♌]

I'll be adding the Bow parts one-by-one.

The first upgrade can be found at the Radio station.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1734898051

I'll definitely be up, and will inform you with each Bow or weapon upgrade.

[Shiro♌]

Okay.. A bit to add..

The second part, so about to upgrade the Bow from Coastal Forest, is in the second part of Mountain Village (after getting the rope). I'll call that upgraded Bow Advanced Bow, to make it clear. Just destroy the Salvage box. Right after meeting Roth again.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1734984652

The first part of the rifle (about to upgrade to Kalaschnikov) can be found at the crashed plane, in the Mountain Village. By destroying the Salvage box.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1734984691
The second part of Kalaschnikov is just above the building. The building you can see there is the one, where you can get the first part. Again, by destroying the Salvage box.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1734984741

The first part of the handgun can be found by raiding the Tomb, Hall Of Ascension, and you'll also get 1250 XP.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1734984783

The first part of the 3rd Bow (when having the Advanced Bow) can be obtained by looting another enemy with shield, in the wooden building with a big bell. Right after comming off of the room, where you can see the buried Sun Queen, Himoko.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1734984838

Adds...
Let's keep it up. First weapon is just a weapon (Bow, Shotgun, Rifle, Handgun), but once you find enough parts to upgrade it, I'll call it Advanced Shotgun / Rifle, ... . Then, as soon as it'll get upgraded to the max, I'll call it a Mastery weapon.

After evading the trees as a parachutist, you'll end up wounded. Lara'll be loud, and right after falling into the village, into the Shantytown, you'll find your first Salvage box. Destroy it, and you should be able to find the last part for rifle - Find a camp, and turn the World War II rifle into the Kalaschnikov.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735095131

Once you end up with getting everything from the Mountain Village, you'll slide down to the building, which you'll destroy aswell.
There are guards, doing something around that plane wing, but they'll start the fuel running out.
Then, the guards, who'll check, what happened and if they've some tools to stop the fuel from running out of the storage of plane's engine. So, he'll move to the position, where you've fallen down. He should be wearing some kind of outfit with shotgun ammo on it. Once you kill him, loot him, and you should be able to get the first part for your shotgun's first upgrade.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735095104
After using the power of fire in the helicopter, successfuly solidifying your wound from the moment, you've fallen with the parachute, while ending a call with Roth, some of the invaders will attack on you.
Once you get them all, jump down, and search the building on your right side, from the position, where you've ended the call. Find the Salvage box, destroy it, and you should be able to get the second part for your shotgun.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735095160

Also, somewhere in the Shantytown, in the first part of the Shantytown, look carefully there. I took a bad screenshot, a very bad one, but after destroing the right Salvage box, you should be able to get your first part for the rifle, so you can have a scope mounted on top of your Kalaschnikov.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735095228

That's a bad one... But, just so you'll see, you can get it in the first part of the Shantytown.
I felt a need to tell you about this one, even though, the screenshot itself won't show you, where to get it...

[Shiro♌]

Another add

Okay...
So, ride the another Tomb, Chamber Of Judgment, and you should be able to get 2nd part for your handgun. If I remember it all well, it's still a part of the Shantytown.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735583042

You'll then advance to the ritual, where Mathias is about to kill Samantha, by burning her alive.
They'll take all your weapons, but in the cutscene, you'll manage to get your Advanced Bow back.
The road will navigate you to the Geothermal Caverns. As soon as you free your friends, you'll get to Solarii Fortress, that is all in flames. In the big room, there is a few second cutscene, showing you two armored enemies - One with a spear, the second one with a rifle.
The one with the rifle has a third part for your shotgun. Loot him after killing him.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735583079

Then you're on your way to meet your friends on the Beach. As soon as you get there, look for the Salvage boxes. One of them, at the very start, should contain a second part for your Advanced Kalaschnikov (the one with scope).
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735698026

Browse the Beach, don't stop.
You'll notice a truck. Next to the truck, there should be a Salvage box. Destroy it, and you'll get a first part for Combat shotgun.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735698068

Then, you'll meet up with your friends. You can skip the cutscene, but notice, if you won't skip it, that Jonah is giving you his own Bow. Let's call it a Sport Bow, so we'll be more clear. It has a red color.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735698118
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735698187

Head down near the sea, and go to your right hand (I expect you to not walk backwards there).
There should be another Salvage box. Destroy it, and the notification about getting your second part of the Bow, which can fire explosives, should display. Let's call that Bow an Explosive Bow.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735698224

Then, as you'll advance forward, get to the bunker, leading to your first Tomb, which you can enter without the need to grab that thing on The Endurance Ship.
As you'll get to the room with a circle on its floor, (there has probably been a Flak before), on your left, there should be a Locker. Use your Axe to open it, and you should be able to get the final part for your rifle. Head to the camp, and you'll get your Kalaschnikov with its famous scope.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735698269

Forward, forward, forward. Don't stop. You'll reach the Cliffside Bunker in no time, and on the right side of the cliff you'll approach to, there has to be a Salvage box. Destroy it, and you should get the second part for Combat shotgun.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735698305

I'll add the rest a bit later. Stay tuned.
Okay, Lara's in.

Once you get back to the Beach to meet up with your friends, go and ride the Tomb, called Temple Of The Handmaidens.
As soon as you ride it, you'll find the last part for the best handgun... So, get to the camp ASAP, Lara!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735770723

I got the final part of the Bow on the Beach.. Because I've been following the objective, and went to the Cliffside Bunker without checking the whole Beach.
There should be a Salvage box, hanging up in the net. Fire one of your fire arrows, destory the Salvage box, and you should be able to get the last part for your Bow. For the best Bow, called a Competition Bow, or how.
I'll call it the Mastery Bow, no matter what.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1735770804

So.. the last part to get the Combat shotgun is the only missing one.
I'll add it later.

The last part for the shotgun. Find a camp, and Combat shotgun awaits you..

Don't mind me dropping in on this thread, you are certainly not alone with this... bug.

I ran into this same issue some years back when I played it. Came back from time to time to keep searching the beach, tombs etc. ...nothing.

I've wanted to try again since we're definitely not alone, I searched the forums and online, several others have had the same issue with the last bow part missing. It seemed it either has something to do with not having a certain threshhold of salvage when looting an enemy earlier in the game, or missing an enemy entirely. But I can't say exactly- perhaps it's the enemies in the building with the 'huge bell' as these 2 threads point out.

Nepra also points that ''enemy by the bell' in this thread.

2. >I hate to tell you buddy, but I had to re-do the whole game. It wasn't too bad because I needed Chatterbox.

From what I can tell, you need to hit a salvage threshold when you get to that story part and then you get the Bow part off of an enemy. I tried going back, but that doesn't work because the enemies are gone...good luck.

(For reference; the part is when you fight a couple of enemies by the huge bell)

2. > there is an enemy which drops a bow part while the place is colapsing and there are mane other enimeis so you might foucs on killing/runig and skip looting that enemy - I'm talking about teh place where you need to pull a huge bell and then drop it to break the ground (air windows +pull metal ball to break teh wood so teh bell fall) , if you need some more details feel free to add me on and I will be more than happy to help you and explain more, and I play some MP BTW

Long story short, it seems a new playthrough is the only option.
