Lost Valley - Shotgun - "Lethal and Loaded" Achievement/Trophy
NOTE: If you're having trouble with this sequence, you might want to review the section on HOW TO SET UP JUMPS on my Strategy page. With these simple techniques you'll almost never miss a jump again.
As you approach the fast-flowing stream just beyond the starting point, head to the left, around the blocky stone column.
Take a running jump across the stream to the flat ledge on the opposite bank. Turn left and walk a few steps upstream.
Turn left again and take another running jump back to the other side. Follow the slope up and around to the right...
...onto a slightly higher ledge overlooking the water. This next jump is a little tricky due to the low, angled ceiling. To prevent Lara from banging her head and falling into the water, walk to the edge and take a standing jump forward, while holding Action. Grabbing, even when there's nothing to grab, lowers the arc of the jump, so Lara will land safely. Now jump over to the left side of the ledge, where the ceiling is higher.
Walk to the edge and take a standing jump forward to grab the raised ledge
on the opposite bank. Pull up.
Follow the twisting passageway around to the far end, where you'll emerge near the wooden bridge. (There's a save crystal here in New Game+.)
On the other side of the bridge is an ancient machine missing some cogs. You'll return later to fix it, but for now we're going after the SHOTGUN and the first secret. Cross the bridge and move to the right side of the wide ledge.
Climb down twice, then jump across the dry streambed to the skeleton on the next ledge.
Among the bones, you'll find the SHOTGUN (1). Picking it up unlocks the "Lethal and Loaded" achievement/trophy, assuming you haven't collected any machine cogs yet.
There's another secret farther along the dry streambed, but you can't reach it yet. We'll return at the end of the level.
For now, turn around and hop back across the gap. Then climb up to the machine the way you came.
DARK MODE: Even with brightness adjusted, dark images on a light background can be hard to see. May I suggest a reputable dark mode browser extension, such as Dark Reader? (Download only from trusted sites, like darkreader.org or your browser's web store.)
