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

Documents

Journal of T. Serrano 2

Right next to the Cenote Vista Base Camp

Journal of T. Serrano 5

In the Cenote caves, immediately after you use the pick to break through the rocks and planks blocking your way at this point on the map, it’s on the floor. You can’t miss it.

Journal of T. Serrano 6&7

Number 7 is lying on the ground after the spike trap and one-warrior ambush, and after you navigate the same room down to the floor opposite, number 6 is waiting for you there, to the left of the exit. You can get to these later in the game by fast travelling to the Cenote Temple Ruins base camp and heading south until you get there again. Even though the Cenote Tomb Base camp is closer, there’s no way to get back up to the documents, you’ll have to go the long way round. Sorry.

Protection

Inside the cave above the white tree in Paititi village, break through the wall a little way in, then disable the two trip line traps. This is in the next room. It appears as Cenote on the map, but that’s how you get to it.

Relics

Crucified Figure

In the lagoon at Cenote, at this location.

Knight’s Morion

Underwater at Cenote, after the big jump, in the underwater caverns as you head west. 

Primitive Doll

In the challenge tomb at the Collapsed Temple in Cenote, this is on the left, in the corner, as you enter the room.

Rusty Sword

At the bottom of the water by the Spanish Galleon wreck in the challenge tomb.

Explorer Backpacks

Only one - on the southern beach, where the Survival cache is glinting, turn around and look in the ruins to find the backpack here.
