Complete Shadow of the Tomb Raider document, mural, relic, map, and backpack locations guide

Murals

Tree of Life

After the second pulley that requires an explosion to move it, you cross a wobbly boat-like bridge. Jump over one more pulley (static) and climb up to find it. 

Huascar the Syncratist

This is down in the crypt on the crosses sidequest, after you meet Isabella and crawl through the hole in the wall.

God of Cocoa

Down in the challenge tomb where you can see the top of the submerged head statue, exit the water to the left as you arrive. 

Thirsty Gods

In the challenge tomb, after crossing behind the waterwheel. 

Relics

Mission San Juan

Right next to the Deserted Cloister Base Camp.

Chechen and Chaca Trees

Inside the Deserted Cloister, next to the Mountain Catacombs base camp (down the hole, into the catacombs). 

Primitive Doll

After the wonky boat-like bridge, static pulley and small jump to climb up, continue on the path - the doll is in a box at the end of the walkway.

Primitive Doll 2 

After stalling the sulphur to allow you to jump to the scalable wall, this box is in plain sight. 

Primitive Doll 3

This one is hard to find because three paths converge over where it appears on the map. It’s actually in the main chamber of the challenge tomb, where the piranhas and rafts are. Swim down and into the stone corridor and it’s there at the end.

Unuratu’s Amulet

Given to you automatically once you start the final stage of the story.

Slave Collar

In the Mission graveyard, lying on the floor in a box.

Wheel-Lock Pistol

This one is easily missed. As you’re finding your way out of the crypt that Isabella is lying in, almost at the end and by the pitfall trap, there’s a window back into the building, with a jumpable gap. In your haste to get to sunlight you may not realise it’s a new area, so jump across and you’ll find this relic.

Old Tome

After getting out from the crypt where you left Isabella, the sidequest takes you across the river. There is a large door that needs the Rope Ascender to open - this tome is inside.

Warrior Pendant

In the treasure chest when you head south-east from the Mission, jump into the pool with the waterfalls and then swim under

Skull

You get this for completing the challenge tomb and its associated sidequest after talking to Manu. 

Faded Writing

Outside the mission, take the right-hand path as you approach the stone heads, and it’s on the pedestal ahead of you.

Decorated Crucifix

Outside the Mission gates, head along the road, and just opposite the man who points out the Condors’ location, there’s a place to drop down. You can’t miss this box.

Archivist Maps

1. In the southern corner of the graveyard, on the floor.

2. Next to the River base camp near the Mission, inside the building with the man standing outside.

3. Directly behind the diving point that takes you down into the lake before the challenge tomb, there’s a barrier behind you. Use a flaming arrow to break it down and the map is inside. 

4. In the clearing at the south of the map, in the southern wall, there’s a gateway. Enter here and find the Deserted Cloister Base Camp. Just next to the camp, it’s clearly visible on the ground. 

Explorer Backpacks

1. On the way to the challenge tomb, this is at the end of the lagoon. So jump into the water, head right, pick up the pack.

2. In the far-right corner as you arrive at the Mission. Walk towards the library at the far end and look in the alcove in the far-right corner of the main area.
