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

Documents

Fuel For The Future

An easy one, outside the hut at this location.

Family Tree

This one is inside the same hut that Fuel For The Future is outside. 

Water Report

Inside the hut at this location.

Croft Report

Right next to the campfire at the Docks base camp. 

Site Scrubbed

Just on from the base camp at the Docks, there’s a truck. The document is behind it.

Temple Survey

Once you rappel down into the mined entrance to the temple, it’s past the burning bodies. You can reach this if returning to the Temple of Life base camp by retracing your steps through the temple entranceway. 

Balams

Inside the Temple of Life, in the chamber past the dates puzzle, it’s on the left as you enter.

Birthing the Serpent

Through the door from the mural room in the Temple of Life. This document is in the small room directly behind the green and gold statue. 

Operation Update

After the Trinity goon gets jumped by the unknown creature in the story, it’s in the grass a little further to the right. If revisiting, it’s easy to spot - just head to this point on the map.

A Haunting

Just to the south of the market trader in Kuwaq Yaku, South-west of the Kuwaq Yaku Ruins base camp.

Trinity’s Offer

Near the pink building here, two huts to its right. Go inside, past the man sitting down. 

Company Town

Right next to the Kuwaq Yaku base camp, on the barrel. 

Secret Winds

In the Kuwaq Yaku challenge tomb, after the fight with the four wolves, you’ll find a pit of fire that you can make a zip line across. Once across, it’s on the floor. An alternative method is to fast travel to the Petroleum Deposit base camp - the ledge you drop down from to access this document is right beside it. 

Fever Dreams

North of the monolith at Kuwaq Yaku (north-east of the Kuwaq Yaku Ruins base camp), there’s a small alcove in the wall covered by a shotgun blast barrier. It’s inside. 

End Times

By the Docks Base Camp, head south to the area where you took on the Trinity goons in the water. In the hut on the right you’ll find this document. 

Misdirection

After emerging from the submerged area with the piranhas in it (east of the Temple of Life base camp), don’t hop across the tree branches but instead go left and find this document on the ground.

A Proverb

In the Trial of the Eagle, in the part where you’re trying to get leverage on a rope pulley that you make, head down the steps to find this odd proverb.

Scouring the Globe

Next to the Airfield Dirt Road base camp if you’re revisiting later, but iIt’s next to the load of dead Trinity Soldiers as you start coming back to Kuwaq Yaku after the gunfight in the story, so it’s unlikely you’ll have missed this one.
