Shadow of the Tomb Raider: All the resources and where to find the materials

As it should be for absolutely every modern open-world action adventure, comes too Shadow of the Tomb Raider not without your own Crafting system out. You can carve up a wide variety of objects: from arrows for your bow to weapon upgrades to healing medicine or new outfits for Lara. What you cannot buy in the store, you have to make yourself.

For this purpose, the developers have quite a few materials hidden in the game world. You cannot throw a stone without any resources hold true. You collect them by the wayside, find them in houses, buy supplies from dealers and have plenty of opportunities to fill your pockets with all sorts of junk anyway. You always have some resources such as hardwood in abundance, while others are much less common. But no matter where you get your materials: The number you get from a source is always prescribed. With the following skills, however, you can increase this amount and give yourself a fundamentally better chance of a high yield:

  • Viper’s Nest
    You get more man-made resources (fabric, salvage, etc.) from all sources.
  • Hunger of the Hoatzin (Viewfinder)
    Increased collectable natural manufacturing resources from all sources.
  • Hilt of the eagle (Viewfinder)
    Increases the chance of finding rare animals.
  • Owl’s meal (Viewfinder)
    You will have the opportunity to collect arrow poison and toxin from spiders and beetles.

    By ingesting sensory plants, you can track down prey and natural resources in the area.

By the way: In this guide you will learn everything you need to know about skills and skill points in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

You can get many resources in Shadow of the Tomb Raider in different ways. There is fat, for example, in such containers and when gutting animal carcasses.

Depending on the material, the way you find it also differs, although you can get most of the resources in different ways. For example, you can poke feathers out of bird nests, or you can get them by shooting birds. Many things like fabric, grease or black powder are simply standing around in certain containers.

Finding survival hiding spots is a great opportunity to get several different resources in one go. This is one of the numerous categories of collectibles. If you find such a buried hiding place, you not only receive experience points, but also a bunch of different materials. So it pays to find as many survival hiding spots as possible.

Buy a bag and increase your inventory

However, each resource also has its maximum load capacity. If you have reached this, Lara cannot take any more copies of the respective object, which is extremely annoying, especially with rare things. In this case you should use the materials for crafting or sell them at the dealer to make room again.

However, you can also choose a larger one bag buy with more capacity once you reach the hidden city of Paititi. Go to the trader on the market square who will sell you the larger backpack for 2,600 gold coins. A damned worthwhile deal.

By the way: switch them on “Prey of the Crow” ability (Viewfinder) free, you can also get one after the bag backpack for 3,500 thalers, which allows you to carry more ammunition and resources. You shouldn’t be stingy here either.
