Did you try looking at the OTHER THREADS IN THIS VERY GAME'S TOPIC THAT YOU POSTED IN?

There's one clearly labeled "Achievement Guide."

If that doesn't work, you can try scratching your game disc with a knife. I heard that'll magically give you a 1000 score.

The Achievement Guide shows how to get achievements individually, it doesn't tell you what a good order to get them in is. But hey, who cares about simple things like actually answering the question that was asked when you can be a major dickhead and tell people to ruin their game discs, right? Never mind the fact that's actually a good question.

A good place to start out is getting all the Iron Raider, Slayer, Good Show in ___!, and the secret "do x without dying/getting zapped" achievements all in one playthrough. The basic strategy to getting all of them is manually saving every time the game gives you a checkpoint (the word "checkpoint" appears on the screen, this is when you pause and save), and re-loading if you die. So you might as well go for all of them at the same time. And since you're going to be saving all the time and reloading anyway, you might as well play on Hard and get all three of the game completion achievements at once.

While you're doing all that, if you can manage to find all the relics and artifacts (or use a guide to find them, but that sort of takes the fun out of playing the game for the first time by yourself), you can knock out all of those achievements too, which would leave you with only the Time Trials and Croft Manor. So you can get most of the achievements in 2-3 runs of the main game, and then you'll only have to do Croft Manor twice (once to complete it, and then once again in Time Trial).

hey there guys... i got this game a while ago as i will be playing as soon as i finish legend... theres LOADS of post on here that says how glitchy the achivments are soHAMMER, watch out.... apparetly for the easy hard and nrmal game completion awards we have to only use one save game... and not do any time trials inbetween...

this is annoying because i like on tomb raider to go trhrough the campaign as it should be on normall, doing the time trials after the levels, THEN come back and get all the relics and collectables whjen playin on hard.... but apparentlyy we cant do this. arg.

i think i dont wanna runi this game by worrying about achivemnts... its where achivments are gay sumtimes and make a game stressfull, which is th opposite of what games shud be.

No problem. Glad I could be more helpful than "cut up your game disc for a magical 1000/1000 unlock." :p
