Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Interactive Map Guide for Exploring Paititi and Beyond

Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s rich, densely packed environments reward players who explore every nook and cranny. An interactive map is an essential tool for completionists, speedrunners, and casual explorers alike—helping you find collectibles, tombs, challenge tombs, NPCs, and optional areas without missing a thing. This post explains why an interactive map matters, how to use one effectively, and includes a compact walkthrough for getting the most from it while playing.

  1. Open the map on a second monitor, tablet, or phone. Alt-tabbing on PC works, but having it on a separate device is smoother.
  2. Before starting a region, hide all icons. Then, turn on only the type of collectible you’re currently hunting (e.g., “Documents”).
  3. Use the progress tracker. Check off each item as you grab it. If you close the browser and come back a week later, your progress is saved locally.
  4. Cross-reference with the in-game “Fast Travel” menu. Some collectibles are only accessible after certain story beats — the map often includes notes like “Requires Ascender” or “Post-Flood Paititi.”
  5. Don’t ignore Crypts. The interactive map will show you where each crypt entrance is. Inside, you’ll often find a weapon part that makes combat significantly easier on higher difficulties.

So, why use an interactive map in Shadow of the Tomb Raider? For starters, it can greatly enhance the player's experience by:

  1. Use it sparingly: While an interactive map can be a valuable resource, over-reliance on it can detract from the player's experience. Try to use it sparingly, and only when necessary.
  2. Explore without the map: To truly appreciate the game's world, try exploring without the map. This will allow you to discover new locations and secrets on your own.
  3. Use filters and markers: Take advantage of the map's filter options and markers to focus on specific activities and objectives.
