00:00Rise of the Tomb Raider is a big fan of Metroidvania level design in that it only lets you break
00:05through certain doors or access certain ledges once you've gained a new piece of equipment
00:09from somewhere else in the game.
00:11But unlike most games of its ilk, it's entirely possible to finish the whole story without
00:16picking up some key bits of this special equipment.
00:19Case in point, the reinforced blade.
00:22Here's how to get it.
00:23There are actually two ways to get the reinforced blade.
00:26The first way presents itself during the main story and opens up some more possibilities
00:30on the map, so we'll take a look at that first.
00:33Once you reach Petiti, you'll find it as part of a side quest called Stay of Execution.
00:38This is triggered once Etsy tells you about Hakann being taken prisoner, which automatically
00:42happens as you go through the main quest.
00:44There's one more thing.
00:46Hakann has been captured.
00:48He's my friend Kiara's dad.
00:52If he's sacrificed...
00:53I'll see what I can do.
00:57To start it, you'll need to speak to Kiara in the upper city, who can be found sitting
01:01on some steps right about here.
01:04She then gives you the quest to go and save her father Hakann, who is indeed being held
01:08prisoner.
01:09The sequence needed to rescue her father is simple.
01:13After travelling to this area and speaking to the people with cogs above their heads
01:16to make sure they're in, you need to ask this person to call the prayer horn, then
01:21go over to the musicians and get them to start playing.
01:24Now swiftly, as the window is quite tight here, ask the two men here and here to help
01:29you open the door.
01:31The rest is easy and the knife is yours.
01:46The second way to get the reinforced knife is to reinforce your existing blade by going
01:50to the market in Petiti.
01:52This is where an upgrade service is available for sale for 2,900 gold from this merchant.
01:58If you have the standard knife, upgrading it will now give you the ability to break
02:01through reinforced, knife-locked doors.
02:04But if you already have the reinforced knife from saving Hakann, it not only means that
02:08you take more resources from animals you skin, but it also has this nice little bonus of
02:13giving you a Crocodile Dundee referencing achievement.
