Rise of the Tomb Raider PC & Mac Save Files

Hang in there! Help is on the way! Download a Rise of the Tomb Raider savegame file.

These Windows PC save files were made using the Steam game patched to the latest version available at the time. As far as I know, subsequent patches do not affect file compatibility, and they should be compatible with other versions (Epic Games, Windows Store, etc.).

Each zip file linked below includes several save files for that level, along with a descriptive text file. Click here for installation instructions and a few IMPORTANT WARNINGS.

Area 1: Mountain Peak
Area 2: Syria (Prophet's Tomb)
Area 3: Siberian Wilderness

     (Vista & Train Yard)

Area 6: Abandoned Mines
Area 7A: Geothermal Valley (first visit)
Area 8: The Acropolis
Area 7B: Geothermal Valley (second visit)

Area 7C: Geothermal Valley (third visit)
Area 5G: Soviet Installation Copper Mill Bridge
Area 10: Research Base

NOTE: I played through the entire game before starting the Baba Yaga: Temple of the Witch DLC. You can play this mission using any save after the Soviet Installation Gulag section, but I recommend finishing The Acropolis first, since the grapple axe (wire spool), which is unlocked in that level, will make retrieving one of the collectibles much easier. If you just want to play Baba Yaga but have already beaten the game and deleted your saves, download the 13B: Lost City and Chamber of Souls collection, above, and install the 100% autosave, following the instructions.

100% PLUS Save – Includes 100% completion on Survivor difficulty; all gear and weapons crafted and fully upgraded; all outfits unlocked; all Expedition challenges completed. Thanks to Treeble for this!

100% Extreme Survivor Save – Includes 100% completion on Extreme Survivor difficulty; all skills unlocked but some weapon upgrades needed. Thanks to Evie for this contribution.

These Macintosh save files were made using the Mac GameStore version of Rise of the Tomb Raider, playing on the Adventurer difficulty setting. You can change the difficulty setting in the Options menu but you will not be able switch to the harder 'Survivor' or 'Extreme Survivor' modes. The .zip file includes a readme.txt file with instructions and notes on where each save was made.

Mac Rise of the Tomb Raider Collection - (.zip file includes 25 saves from start of game to story completion - 0% to 70% game completion)

As always, be sure to back up your own saves before installing downloaded files, in case you need to revert to your original files.
