The Acropolis - Fighting Your Way to the Acropolis Tower (Part 3)

As you continue along the cobbled street to the south, two slain Remnant warriors fall across your path.

Take out the Trinity soldier who killed them by leaning around the corner. Click the left stick or press Shift to adjust your aim so Lara leans out to the left.

There are 4 more enemies around the next corner. They appear in pairs beneath the archway at the top of the steps. Again, poison arrows work well for clustered enemies at a distance, but the rifle is fine too.

Rise of the Tomb Raider screenshot If any of them rush you, switch to the shotgun for a fast, close-quarters takedown.

There's one more man inside the ruined building with the arches. Advance to a position just behind the low wall to get his attention. Then try to take him out quickly.

But if he starts throwing grenades...

...be prepared to run back down the stairs to safety. Then advance again to deal with him.

When the coast is clear, pick up rifle ammo, grab some rifle grenades from the box on the right (circled in the screenshot above), and climb up into the building with the arches to search the enemy corpses and find containers of cloth and salvage.

There's also a survival cache (3/3) in the northeast corner of this building. If you stand outside, you should be able to spot the flashing light that shows where the cache is buried. Or, you can wait to find the Explorer Satchel, which will mark all 3 caches on your map.

Exit the ruined building on the southwest side. As you enter the next small courtyard, a cutscene shows the Remnant forces at last winning a small victory over the invaders.

After the cutscene, you're standing near the Tower Courtyard Base Camp, with the tower itself just ahead. Sofia contacts Lara over the radio. She and her people are now trapped in the catacombs and need Lara's help.

Before running off to assist, make a pit stop at the camp. You may or may not have a Skill Point to spend, but chances are you've unlocked a few new weapon upgrades now that you've found the ENHANCEMENT TOOL. Access the Weapons menu at the campfire to check out the possibilities.

Search the market stall near the campfire to find a stack of 5 gold coins; a document (7/10), Dangerous Errand from the Diary of the Resistance series (Greek); and another walkie talkie (6/6). Shoot it to complete the Cut Short Challenge and earn an XP bonus.

Now face north—back in the direction from which you came. Just ahead on the left is a short alley with some ammo, a medicinal herb bush, and an Archivist Map (1/1) spread out on the ground. Examining the map reveals the locations of any documents and relics you haven't already found. There are a few documents in the unexplored area to the west, so you may not see any change yet.
