Shipwreck Beach
Start the Climb Up to the Research Base
After the cutscene, we are off to save the day, but first let's finish some stuff. Firstly, talk to everyone at camp again until you can't anymore (making sure you talk to Jonah who is north of the camp), which should get you the Chatterbox trophy/achievement. Now rest at camp for the Lara's Journals: The Promise document and then access the hidden tomb nearby with our handy dandy rope ascender by heading northwest of the camp.
| Temple of the Handmaidens Enter the cave and follow the path to the temple's base camp. This area is short and sweet, but all based on timing. You need to pry the wheel to allow the buoy to pass and then quickly head left and jump up a ledge. When the buoy reaches the pole below, it will spin the whole structure and allow you to jump the gap. As the buoy continues slowly, rope dart the spot in the lower right, putting the next pole into place, and when the buoy passes use it to jump to the craggy wall and enter the tomb. You will gain 1250 XP, 250 Salvage, and the Shipwreck Beach GPS Cache Map. If this is your last tomb you should get the Intellectually Superior trophy/achievement. |
Head to the objective point in the northwest and pull the door open and use the axe on the elevator lever. Climb up the back of the elevator and then wall scramble to a ledge below a craggy wall, which you can then jump and cling to. Follow it up to the left and then drop down to find some Salvage and then climb to the top and gain 100 XP.
Research Base
Enter the Research Base
There is a container of 50 Salvage on the left side of the area that you should get and then head around the elevator shaft and scramble up a part of the concrete wall to jump to the top of the shaft and get the GPS Cache 14. Head across the way and shoot a rope dart into the craggy wall across the way and ascend to climb up. Grab the Endurance Officers - Whitman: My Great Discovery document and then find the GPS Cache 15 between the two buildings. Now use the wall to scramble up the water tower and climb up to the gondola platform.
You now need to pull the individual gondolas closer to Lara so she can make the jumps and then quickly jump to the next tower before it falls toward the ground. Use the zipline to reach the bunker and then scramble up and use the pipes to reach a ladder and climb the craggy wall to some Salvage. Jump across to the walkway and the wall scramble up to your right and take cover behind a box. The two men here are both weak to headshots, so distract the one on the right and then shoot them both. Use the pipe on the wall near the craggy wall to reach it and then climb up and around to the next level. Now jump to the ladder, grab the Salvage and bust through the wall and inside for 100 XP and the Research Base Camp.
Discover the Ancient Tomb
From the objective, jump to the craggy wall and descend and then drop and grab the wall below to safely enter the water below, right near the GPS Cache 1. Behind you is a metal wall that can be blasted for some Salvage and a wall that can be scrambled to reach the Chou Dynasty Helmet. Return to the water and continue around the to a craggy wall and look up to shoot more Salvage down and the ascend up.
Squeeze through the narrow gap ahead and then use your survival instinct to spot a Sun Totem in the upper left corner of the area that you can shoot to start the Challenge: Sun Killer. Drop down and shoot an arrow at the pipes across the way to lure a Solarii over, that you can headshot, and then move forward and peek around the door to kill his friend. You can now use the Research Lab Base Camp and get the Wartime Intelligence - Soldier: Awakening document.
Head back past the camp and pry open the door to look across the way and shoot another Sun Totem, follow by another Sun Totem to your left, and then jump across the gap to the window for a Food Cache and the GPS Cache 2. Now return and then drop into the icky water and head left to open a door and call the elevator. When it gets stuck, climb on the boxes and pry the wheel to make it descend more and then climb on top and through the gap on the other side. Ascend the stairs to get the GPS Secrets - Unknown: Mysterious Orders and press the elevator call buttons and descend, jumping to a small platform with Salvage and destroying the gear. Now drop down and ascend to the 4th floor, getting the hanging Salvage, and look down in the shaft to shoot open a barricade before pressing the elevator call again. As the elevator ascends, hop into it and use the opening you created to jump to a craggy wall and make your way around to another wheel and more Salvage. Now drop down, return to the 3rd floor and use the ladder to reach the final wheel and gain 100 XP.
Head down and drop into the elevator shaft to reach the first floor, which has a Food Cache, and stop at the number 1 printed on the floor and look right for another Sun Totem. Head foward and take a left in the room to find a locker with 50 Salvage and then turn around and face the other side of the room to spot the final Sun Totem, which will also get you the Inconceivable! trophy/achievement if you have completed all challenges. Head to the other side of the room and look down the hall to spot two guards, which you should be able to take out silently. Grab the Salvage and the Ceremonial Helmet and then head down the hall and take a right to another locker with 50 Salvage and a Food Cache. Across form the locker are a pile of crates, which when climbed lead to the GPS Cache 3 and unlock the GPS Secrets - Unknown: Failed Mission document. Return and cross the other side of the main hall are some crates with a gap in the upper left, which Lara can squeeze through and lead to the Research Base Treasure Map. Now continue to the objective and gain 100 XP.
Exit the Research Base
After the cutscene, which actually unlocks the Ancient Scrolls - General: Failure of Duty document, Lara can head for the exit. Unfortunately, the Solarii will block your escape and come pouring in from the south side of the cavern. Take cover and move around to make yourself a hard target for Molotov Cocktails and dynamite as you slowly take out the enemies. Be careful when the enemies start to drop down and aggressively attack them. When they are all dead, climb the stairs and make your way down the slide, jumping to catch the craggy wall, and climbing up. Walk through the tunnel, grabbing the Salvage and listing to Reyes gain 100 XP.
Return to the Survivor Camp on the Beach
Make your way down the zipline and kill the two guards nearby and then ascend the rope nearby and zipline down to the camp to gain 100 XP.
