Enemies

Trinity

Trinity is a religious, secret organisation, focusing mainly on the recovery of powerful artefacts using any means necessary. They have been keeping a close eye on Lara Croft for a very long time.

Trinity Soldier - Breacher
These soldiers use shotguns and are the type of enemy that will get close up, engaging in close quarter combat. They deal less damage from afar, so try and take them out before they get too close.

Trinity Soldier – Defenders
The defenders are the ones with the big shields and melee weapons. This means that taking them on from the front is not an option. Grenades can work, as will any explosive ammo that you may have, as the shrapnel can damage them from behind. If you want a quicker kill or have run out of explosives, try poison arrows.

Trinity Soldier – Enforcers
The Vanguard of Trinity. They use rifles and are heavily armoured. They are slow moving, so use this to your advantage. You can actually shoot off their armour and then shoot the exposed area. As with any armoured enemy, use poison arrows or explosive ammo.

Trinity Soldier – Fireflies
A very dangerous enemy; these guys use flamethrowers. Head on attacks are not advisable. But see it this way, they carry very explosive tanks on their backs. How careless.

Trinity Soldier – Grenadier
This type of soldier is self explanatory. They throw grenades to force Lara out of cover for other soldiers to shoot at her. They are distinguishable by orange coloured outfits.

Trinity Soldier – Rifleman
The very basic of soldier. They take cover quite a bit and work in groups. Take them out as you wish.

Trinity Soldier – Sharpshooter
The soldiers with sniper rifles... Er, well, you're not supposed to get this up close to them. They give away their position by the lasers on their guns. 

Trinity Soldier - Shock Trooper
The role of this type of soldier is to charge at Lara and force her out of cover. They wear camo clothing and have melee weapons and a pistol, which could be turned into an advantage if you have the skills to dodge and attack them.

The Deathless Ones

As their name suggests, they are immortal, always protecting Kitezh and its secrets.

Deathless Ones – Archers
Dangerous enemies; they do not need to be near to attack, they are very accurate and they use Greek Fire arrows. Grenade arrows can be effective against them, as are shotguns if you have to do close-quarter combat or a powerful rifle.

Deathless Ones – Knights
The toughest enemy of the game. Very heavily armoured. They carry a large shield and a sword, but this makes them slow. Poison arrows work a treat. 

Deathless Ones – Guards
The basic type of the Deathless Ones; these carry a sword. Keep a distance and just shoot but remember that you have to shoot off any armour first.

Deathless Ones - Axemen
Very similar to the Deathless Guards, except these carry an axe. Use the same tactic or try the poison arrows.

DLC Enemies - Baba Yaga

​Spectral Soldier
These were originally Trinity soldiers that Baba Yaga has poisoned to use against their will. They look to wear intimidating outfits made from skulls and furs, and have a misty aura about them - from a chemical. These guys will use swords and are not afraid to get up close.

Spectral Archer
Originally Trinity soldiers, Baba Yaga has poisoned them using a chemical. They appear to wear intimidating outfits made from skulls and furs, and have a misty aura about them. These particular soldiers use a bow and arrows.

Spectral Wolf
Baba Yaga has even poisoned wolves to use in her own personal defense. As any wolf does, it ambushes its target and bites them.

The spectral wolf appears in 'Lara's Nightmare' too, where Atlas De Mornay calls upon them.

DLC Enemies - Cold Darkness Awakened & Lara's Nightmare

​Infected Soldier
A victim of the Soviet's production of dihydrotestosterone, this Trinity soldier now has increased hearing but poor sight. He is the basic footman who will fight with a knife. They have no protection over them so they are easy enough to take out. They will also wear a helmet so you'll have to shoot it off before you can kill them with a headshot.

Shielded Infected
Another soldier type infected with dihydrotestosterone, this one can carry a round shield and fight with a bat. If you aim at them long enough, they'll raise or lower their shield to protect themselves, and you can use this to your advance. Or, they can carry a riot shield and fight with a bat.

Infected Grenadier
This Trinity soldier uses an explosive and doesn't care for his own safety, or the safety of others around him. He can throw the explosive but most of the time, he chooses keep hold of it until the very end. It is wise for the player to shoot him and make him drop it so that the explosive can kill him and any who get near it, but otherwise, just stay clear of the blast radius.

Infected Behemoth
One of the toughest of the infected enemies, as he is covered with protective padding on his upper body. He carries and swings a makeshift weapon, and will require quite a few bullets before he is put down.

Crawling Infected
Another one of Trinity's soldiers that has been infected with a poisonous chemical. He doesn't pose much of a threat as he is slow, but he will get to his feet before falling again. He still wears his military armour and carries a blade for defense. He is only seen in 'Lara's Nightmare'.
