Tomb Raider III - Challenge-Modus
Capable Croft
Complete a level on CR 5.
Pick a short, familiar level and apply light negative modifiers, such as slight enemy health increases or weapon restrictions, until your Challenge Rating reaches 5.
Adept Adventurer
Complete a level on CR 10.
This can be stacked naturally while aiming for higher CR milestones on any early, short stage.
Serious Survivalist
Complete a level on CR 15.
Stack manageable penalties like restricted medipack usage or disabling advanced weapons on a level where you can outrun most encounters.
Raider of Tombs
Complete 3 levels on CR 15.
Target the three shortest levels across the campaign and replicate the same set of comfortable negative modifiers for each.
Expert Explorer
Complete a level on CR 20.
CR 20 requires severe handicaps. Enable timer or combat penalties on a stage with minimal platforming hazards so you can sprint straight to the exit.
Heroic Heroine
Complete a level on CR 25.
At CR 25, mistakes are fatal. Map out optimal route skips and ignore non-mandatory enemies entirely to bypass combat phases.
Peak Lara
Complete a level on CR 30 without any Outfit bonuses.
Equip Lara's default outfit without passive traits before launching. You will need nearly every negative modifier active, making damage avoidance and precise jump execution essential.
Walk in the Park
Complete a level with 500%HP, Unlimited Air and Fully Stocked Modifiers
Enable all three beneficial modifiers from the Challenge Mode menu and clear any short level to pop the trophy instantly.
Pistol Prodigy
Complete a CR 10 level with only pistols.
Can be stacked with Pacifist if you avoid firing altogether on a short stage, or simply stick to standard dual pistols while taking down unavoidable targets.
Untouchable

Tomb Raider III - Herausforderungsmodus
Top of the Food Chain

Pick a short, linear level and configure the enemy spawns to the required archetype in the Challenge Mode settings. Sprint past encounters and head straight for the exit to avoid risky combat.
Gotta go fast!
Complete a CR 5 level in under 3 minutes.
Choose a very short stage—such as the opening level—and ignore all combat. Use corner cuts, rolling jumps, and sprint boosts to reach the exit well within the time limit.
Fish out of Water
Complete a CR 10 level in a Wetsuit without entering water.
Select a stage where Lara defaults to the Wetsuit and navigate around water hazards using precise jumps. Make frequent manual saves so you can reload immediately if you accidentally touch water.
Megalodon't
Defeat all Sharks on "40 Fathoms" on CR12 with Max Enemy Health/Damage/Numbers.
Bait the sharks toward safe dry ground or low ledges where you can pick them off with pistols or high-damage weapons without taking hits. Stock up on Harpoon ammo if you are forced to engage underwater.
