Introduction:
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the 3rd instalment in the rebooted series of the long standing franchise. For this iteration, Eidos Montreal have taken the reins from Crystal Dynamics and set Lara on resuming her journey of stopping Trinity from bringing the world to ruin.
Those who have experienced the 2 previous games will feel right at home, there aren't any big changes to the formula other than a drastic reduction in combat encounters and an increase in puzzle solving and challenge tombs.
The trophy list for the most part is very straight forward, but there are many missable trophies relating to combat. I also cannot stress enough to not attempt 100% completion on Deadly Obsession, it would be beyond tedious, frustrating and less efficient than doing 2 playthroughs anyway.
Walkthrough:
Step 1 - Complete the game on Smart & Resourceful (or higher if you wish) and aim for 100% completion and all combat related missable trophies
I recommend playing on Smart & Resourceful as Lara actively provides hints on puzzle solutions and ammo/resources are more plentiful. Focus on finishing the main story and grabbing every possible collectible along the way, as well as all side missions for 100% game completion.
Thanks to PowerPyx for the videos in the guide!
Important things to note:
- Combat Trophies - All of these are missable as enemies don't spawn after finishing the game, none are difficult to obtain. You will require certain skills for some of them and you can farm each of them by restarting checkpoints.
- Lockpick/Rope Ascender - Make sure to buy these from the merchant you find during the quest 'Find Takiy’s Dice', this will cost a total of 6100 gold. The reason for this is because afterwards she moves around to random locations and isn't marked on the map so it can be tricky to find her.
- Croft Manor Flashback - Don't worry about the collectibles and challenge in this area, they are entirely optional.
By the end of this step you will have hopefully unlocked:

By the end of this step you will have unlocked:

You must have reached Kuwaq Yaku in the story to be able to start the new dlc side mission. If you have followed the suggestion of the guide for the main game and already have the platinum then you should have 2 save files you can choose from, so you can go back to your save game on smart and resourceful and carry on.

Step Two - Score Attack and Time Attack
In this step you will be only completing the ‘Forge of Destiny’ tomb again. You need to achieve bronze in the score attack mode and bronze in the time attack mode. Both are very easy to achieve. Complete the score attack mode first, as this gives you another playthrough of the tomb before you attempt the time attack. The time attack is very easy once you know what is required to defeat the tomb.
