Rise of the Tomb Raider - Geothermal Valley Archivist Maps

Updated: 6/11/16()

Archivist Maps are not required for 100% completion, but they can help you find documents and relics. This guide, along with the annotated level maps linked below, should help find any archivist maps you missed. If you are playing this level for the first time, you may want to follow the main walkthrough instead.

Weapons, Equipment, and Outfits are covered elsewhere. Other collectibles are detailed on separate pages:

Relics · Documents · Murals · Coin Caches · Survival Caches · Strongboxes · Explorer Satchels · Codices · Crypt Treasures · Challenges · Missions

ARCHIVIST MAP 1

This map is in a small, dark room below the Valley Farmstead Base Camp. To get there, head down the stairs to the east. Then make a U-turn to the right and continue down more stairs to a wooden barrier. (screenshot) Destroy the barrier with any gun and go inside to find the map sitting on a table. See the walkthrough and level map for details. (Click screenshot to enlarge.)

This map is in the Pit of Judgment Challenge Tomb. Follow the walkthrough the first time. To get it later, return to the Hidden Ravine Base Camp. Follow the tunnel down to the main cavern, swim across the pool, and turn around to face the mine cart tracks. Climb the tracks on the right, using your grapple to cross the wide gaps. Then follow the passageway at the back right of the alcove where the first mine cart was. (screenshot) You'll find the map in a small room with skeletons and a statue. (Click screenshot to enlarge.)
