Language Proficiency

Language Proficiency is a feature in Rise of the Tomb Raider.

There are three foreign languages that Lara can learn on her journey: Greek, Mongolian, and Russian. By doing so she is able to translate Monoliths that in turn point to certain Secrets.

Lara's Language Proficiency can be increased by by studying Murals, reading Documents, or examining certain Relics. Usually murals will award her 25 XP in a certain language, documents 15 XP, and the last document of a set 30 XP.

Languages

Please note that the amount of language XP needed for the different levels is only an estimation.

Greek

Main article: Greek

Greek is the only language that can be learned from murals, documents, and some relics in Siberia as well as Syria - all other languages are only present in Siberia. The first time Lara can learn Greek is in The Lost Tomb near the Northwest Border of Syria.

Greek is the language that can be studied most thoroughly by far: there are 7 levels of Greek. Since the Remnant are descendants from the Byzantine Empire, their documents and murals are mostly in Greek.

Mongolian

Main article: Mongolian

Lara can learn Mongolian by studying the documents and relics left by the Mongol army that tried to invade the lost city of Kitezh. The first time she can learn Mongolian is in Echoes of the Past in the Siberian Wilderness

Mongolian is the language with the least levels - two - to learn. It can be learned almost exclusively from documents, which are widely spread throughout Siberia: The first documents are located in the Siberian Wilderness, followed by a long gap up until The Lost City, where a lone survivor of the attack left some more documents.

Russian

Main article: Russian

Russian can be learned from documents and Soviet Crests that were left behind by the Soviets when they were driven out by the Remnant. The first time Lara can learn Russian is in the level Echoes of the Past.

There are four levels or Russian Lara can learn.
