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

Documents

Rearguard report

After you’ve worked your way around the bells inside the area accessed with the reinforced knife, this is on a ledge high up in the south-east of the chamber.

Murals

Heart of the Serpent

You can’t miss this one, as huge text explains what you have to do to read murals.

Temple of the Moon

After you learn how to make a rope tether and climb up your first tether line, this is on that platform, on the wall directly opposite the knife. 

Relics

Ceramic Jar

At the far-right end of the main chamber, climb up to the platform it’s on through the wall on the right.

Carved Bowl

Down at the bottom of the water in the room after the curved tunnel. 

Archivist Map

In the room with the shaft of light, before you get to the trap that precedes the cart puzzle, it’s there on a ledge.

Explorer Backpack

Clamber around the bells until you reach the point where you can make a rope line to get back to the start. But as soon as you reach the top of the line, turn right and drop down off the platform to the climbing wall. Lower yourself on the rappel line and swing to the platform underneath. There’s a survival cache to collect, and at the end of the platform, you’ll find the backpack.
