The Hidden City – Abandoned Village - Chuki's Crypt (part 3)

There are 2 braided rope barriers in the dark areas on the east...

...and west sides of the room. If you have purchased the REINFORCED KNIFE UPGRADE from one of the merchants in the PAITITI MARKET, you can cut down the barriers and get the jade ore in each alcove.

Then head up the stairs in the north or south alcove to find the sarcophagus. Inside area 750 gold pieces and a Vestige: Manko's Boots. After they are repaired and equipped, these boots will make Lara harder for predators to detect.

If this is the first crypt you have visited in Paititi, opening the sarcophagus will also initiate a Challenge: Speak of the Dead. There are 5 crypts in and around the city. You only need to explore 4 of them to complete the challenge.

To get out, follow the stairs up to the south.

At the top, use a rope arrow to pull down the wooden barrier.

Go around to the other side of the round room and follow the tunnel back to the ledge overlooking the pool and wolf den.

Do a swan dive off the wooden platform for the High Diving Challenge. (Maybe you'll complete it here. If not, there will be more opportunities later on.)

If you're finished exploring this area, climb out of the pool on the left (east) side and return to the Abandoned Village Base Camp. Then, either follow the path back to the city or fast travel to wherever you left off.
