Enter the castle

After a violent contact with the jungle in the previous part of our Shadow of the Tomb Raider guide, the adventure continues in a Lara’s dream. You control the adventurer, many years before, when she lived a peacefully at Croft Manor (picture1). Because the area does not have a map, we will tell you how to collect all the collectibles in this part. Start by approaching the tree where a hammock is attached to find a chest (picture2). Inside you will find the “White Queen” Relic (picture3). You can look at the base of the figurine to discover the A letter.

Then join the gigantic tree in the center of the area to find the “Letter to Winston” (picture4-5).

Next to the pergola, near a red wagon, you find the “Letter from Winston” (picture6-7).

Now, take some black balls in the garden and bring them to the pirate ship. Lara notices a chest on the lookout, you must throw at least two black balls on the lookout (picture8) to bring it down (picture9) and collect the “Family Photo” Relic (picture10).

Finally, keep one of the black balls and join the corner of the garden where there are several targets. You have understood that you will have to target each target with a black ball to complete the “Bullseye” challenge.

Target n°1

Target n°2

Target n°3

Target n°4

Once you are done with the secrets of the level, climb the wooden pergola (picture11). Climb to the balcony for a conversation with Lara’s father (picture12). Once he closes the window, continue to the end of the balcony and begin your ascent (picture13).


Climb the castle

Follow the cornices and other gutters (picture14-15) to reach the top of the manor. Climb to the large canopy and move to slide on the right side (picture16).


Enter the forbidden tomb 

After a vertiginous fall, you arrive on a balcony that allows you to enter the mansion. Slip through the half-open door (picture17) to reach the Croft’s personal museum. You will have to unleash the white queen using Lara’s enigmatic clue (picture18).

Approach the huge globe at the bottom of the room and use the left crank to enter the 90 East coordinates (picture19). Then use the right crank to enter the 30 North coordinates (picture20).

A ladder appears, allowing you to reach the floor of the room (picture21). Directly on your left, pick up the “Letter to contractor” document (picture22-23).

Take the time to observe the Croft’s impressive collection and then use the crank to unfold the bat’s wings (picture24-25).

Go back to the lower level and push the pieces: the both shield carriers must be placed on the lighted locations (picure26-27). By doing this, the light is reflected against the shields of two other soldiers, showing the white queen (picture28). But she is trapped behind the ladder.


Free the White Queen  

Return to the globe and change one of the coordinates to retract the ladder and release the white queen (picture29). Then pull the White Queen between the two guards (picture30).

You open a secret passage in the wall that triggers a terrible cinematic and ends this chapter (picture31). When you wake up, you can equip a new outfit, made by Lara with the jaguar skin (picture32).
