Tomb Raider 2013/Selecting a Route
From SDA Knowledge Base
After you've gone through the Techniques page and learned what the run has to offer, you'll need to choose a route. The "compulsory" elements of TR2013 are generally very linear, but because of how many skips there are, you often have to choose which skips you will and won't use for each run. This page will help you choose which skips you will do each run, based on difficulty and payoff. Checkpoint reloading and small skips of <5s won't be covered here.
Intro to first Campsite
No major tricks here, several small 1-5 second saves though. For the small time savers check an up-to-date run and/or Checkpoint Reloading.
Bambi to Old Ruins
After you kill the deer is your first major skip. Rather than going back to the campsite use your preferred Tackle Flipping method to clip through the door near where you got the bow.
