Working on a full guide for all secrets, kills, pick ups, the full guide will be finished by today or tomorrow. Link here for the playlist ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5XQqdUVc0jI.html
Nope you can go to any save point and get the death and it registers, I’m doing it atm and so far it goes to the trophy as soon as the passport opens. Hopped from caves for the bats and darts to st Francis folly for the lions, to Atlantis for the winged critters, all counted.
You have to reload saves when you die so it should, also I used level skip cheat to get my last kill. So you can use level skip cheat to skip to any level you want to get certain kills.
I'll have to start a new game and do the level skips to go through the list again. I was bouncing between old saves to get to the levels I needed,@@pyrrhicvictory6978
In going through the list a second time, the trophy popped after dying to a rat. It appears that the rat kill didn't count the first time. My only guess as to why is because my first death to rats was in water, and the rat that popped the trophy was on land.
It also makes you explore parts of the game or find out stuff you wouldn't normally know. Like for example the Crane Dive achievement in Tomb Raider 2 I would never of discovered without the trophy.
