00:00 Rise of the Tomb Raider is a big fan of Metroidvania level design, in that it only lets you break

00:04 through certain doors or access certain ledges once you've gained a new piece of equipment

00:09 from somewhere else in the game.

00:11 But unlike most games of its ilk, it's entirely possible to finish the whole story without

00:16 picking up some key bits of this special equipment.

00:19 Case in point, the reinforced blade.

00:21 Here's how to get it.

00:22 There are actually two ways to get the reinforced blade.

00:26 The first way presents itself during the main story and opens up some more possibilities

00:30 on the map, so we'll take a look at that first.

00:33 Once you reach Petiti, you'll find it as part of a side quest called Stay of Execution.

00:38 This is triggered once Etsy tells you about Hakann being taken prisoner, which automatically

00:42 happens as you go through the main quest.

00:44 There's one more thing.

00:46 Hakann has been captured.

00:48 He's my friend Kiara's dad.

00:51 If he's sacrificed...

00:52 I'll see what I can do.

00:56 To start it, you'll need to speak to Kiara in the upper city, who can be found sitting

01:01 on some steps right about here.

01:04 She then gives you the quest to go and save her father Hakann, who is indeed being held

01:08 prisoner.

01:09 The sequence needed to rescue her father is simple.

01:12 After travelling to this area and speaking to the people with cogs above their heads

01:16 to make sure they're in, you need to ask this person to call the prayer horn, then go over

01:21 to the musicians and get them to start playing.

01:24 Now swiftly, as the window is quite tight here, ask the two men here and here to help

01:29 you open the door.

01:31 The rest is easy and the knife is yours.

01:33 What do you want, priest?

01:36 Don't worry, I'm a friend.

01:39 I do not have any friends that look like you.

01:43 Trust me, I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing.

01:45 The second way to get the reinforced knife is to reinforce your existing blade by going

01:50 to the market in Petiti.

01:52 This is where an upgrade service is available for sale for 2,900 gold from this merchant.

01:58 If you have the standard knife, upgrading it will now give you the ability to break

02:01 through reinforced knife locked doors.

02:04 But if you already have the reinforced knife from saving Hakann, it not only means that

02:08 you take more resources from animals you skin, but it also has this nice little bonus of

02:13 giving you a Crocodile Dundee referencing achievement.
