All Locations: Tomb Raider Guide

Locations in Tomb Raider serve as essential navigation points and progression markers throughout Lara’s journey on Yamatai Island. These key spots include camps for upgrading gear and fast travel, plus tomb entrances that lead to optional challenge areas containing valuable rewards.
The Tomb Raider Interactive Map filters all location markers to help you plan efficient routes between camps and discover hidden tomb entrances you might otherwise miss. This focused view eliminates visual clutter from other collectibles, letting you concentrate purely on navigation and major exploration targets.
What Locations Are Used For
Locations form the backbone of exploration and character progression in Tomb Raider. Camps provide essential services while tomb entrances gate some of the game’s most rewarding optional content.
- Fast travel between discovered camps to revisit previous areas
- Weapon and skill upgrades using salvage and experience points
- Safe havens for saving progress and planning your next move
- Access to optional tombs containing skill point rewards and rare salvage
- Strategic rest points during lengthy exploration sequences
Locations Types
The map tracks two primary location types that serve different but equally important roles in your survival on Yamatai Island.
Camp
Base camps function as multi-purpose hubs where Lara can upgrade weapons, spend skill points, and fast travel to other discovered camps. Each camp also serves as a checkpoint, automatically saving your progress when activated. Some camps are positioned strategically near major story beats or difficult traversal sections.
Tomb Entrance
Optional tomb entrances lead to self-contained puzzle chambers separate from the main story path. Each tomb rewards completion with a skill point and often contains rare salvage or weapon parts. These entrances are frequently hidden behind environmental obstacles or require specific tools to access.
How to Use the Map Efficiently
Planning your route between locations requires understanding the island’s interconnected regions and available traversal options.
- Prioritize camps in new areas first to establish fast travel points before exploring
- Check for tomb entrances near story objectives to minimize backtracking
- Use camps as staging areas when hunting for nearby collectibles or completing challenges
- Return to earlier camps with new tools to access previously blocked tomb entrances
- Plan tomb runs during natural story progression rather than dedicated cleanup sessions
- Remember that some tomb entrances require rope arrows or other gear obtained later
