Stage 1 – 4 Playthroughs
TROPHY LIST – THE TROPHY LISTS FOR THE PS4 AND THE PS5 DIFFER. WITH THE PS4 VERSION HAVING A PLATINUM TROPHY. THE TROPHIES ARE THE SAME BUT THE TROPHY LISTS ARE DIFFERENT.
WARNING!
“Tomb Cleaner” is currently unobtainable due to one of the collectibles not being obtainable. It is therefore recommended to skip playthrough 2 until it has been patched.
Playthrough one.
Use the level skip cheat to reach the final level. Then Defeat the Natla’s new breed boss without using a medipack and using only Lara’s pistols. Then use the level skip cheat again and you should unlock two of the hardest and longest trophies “Hardy Raider” and “Hard Boiled”.
Playthrough two.
On this run you should be finding all collectibles, killing all enemy types, dying every way and breaking all . You will have to replay some levels where there’s a trophy for not killing certain enemies, so either do those first the restart the level to make sure you get the kill all enemy types or make a separate save and come back to those levels at the end.
Playthrough three.
The final playthrough you should only have the speedrun trophy ‘I Only Play for Sport!’ and the trophy for making less than 86 saves ‘‘Play It Like You Did on a Console in 1996“. Make a save at the beginning of each level and make sure you can beat it relatively quickly. Use saves after any parts you are struggling with but 86 saves can quickly add up.
Playthrough four
New Game + this mode plays a little different and becomes a little harder. The game will use save crystals like on the original Playstation version and enemies will have more health.
I Only Play for Sport!
Finish game in less than 5 hours
Complete all 15 levels in under 5 hours. Unfortunately the level skip cheat stops you from unlocking this trophy.
Hardy Raider
Beat the game without using any medipacks
To avoid using medipacks make sure to save regularly, at the start of each level you will begin with full health. Alternatively you can level skip to the final level, defeat the Natla’s new breed boss without using a medipack, then level skip level again to unlock the trophy.

So Salacia

Climb upside unharmed before boulder ends its ways in Atlas’ room

In level 5 – St Francis’ Folly make a save before entering Damocle’s room, you will likely get hit by a sword as you walk over the omega floor tile, then make you way by slowly walking through the room, this should make the swords trigger but before you reach their landing spot.
Tempered Lara
Catch fire and put it out with water
Can be done in any place where there is fire and water, for example in level 15 there is a room where you will likely catch fire and you will need to extinguish yourself in the water.
Hard Boiled
Beat the game using only Lara’s guns
Lara’s guns never run out of ammo so while they are not the most powerful the game is easily beatable with only the pistols. You can use the level skip cheat to make it to the final level, then beat the boss at the start using the pistols, then level skip again and the trophy will pop.
Tomb Cleaner
Take every collectible item in a single walkthrough
Currently unobtainable, as the game claims 357 collectibles but only 356 are obtainable.
I highly recommend this detailed text walkthrough for all collectibles and secrets.
Play It Like You Did on a Console in 1996
Save 86 times or less in a single walkthrough
The game does not restart you where you were when you die, it will give you the option to either restart the level or start from a save. It’s therefore important to make manual saves. However try not to save too much so not to go above the 86. The game gives you the save number each time you make a save so it is easy to keep track of.

During the new bread boss fight at the start of level 15 – The Great Pyramid, fall off the edge into the lava and Lara will scream twice.

Dances With Wolves

Unlocked in level 2 – City of Vilcabamba, however it’s best to run through level 1 quickly collecting all of the medikits as you will need them for this trophy. To achieve the trophy gather all of the wolves in the final area with the columns of warriors. You’ll need to open the doors first which will leave you vulnerable to the wolf attacks so use the medikits frequently. Make sure to jump a lot whilst running to try and avoid the wolves.
Ave, Lara!
Stand in emperor’s box and sentence 10 animals on the arena to death
In level 6 – The Colosseum, you will need to kill 10 animals in the arena. There will be three as you get there.

Exaggerated Threat

You can look up to see the swords positions so slowly make your way around each one.
On Incredible Tales

In level 14 – Atlantis after a swimming section you will need to pull yourself out of the water, then do a run jump onto the pyramid and then roll and do another run jump to the exit the other side before the boulder hits you.
