The Hidden City – Mission 5: Free the Rebels

After speaking to the mission giver, Poma, in SKULL CAVE, the locations of the 4 rebel prisoners are indicated on the map with green circles. The nearest one is just east of the PAITITI MARKET.

Exit the MARKET through the southeast entrance, near the bridge leading to the Upper City, where you met Unuratu earlier. Go around the corner to the left...

...to find the first rebel tied to a post on a ledge overlooking the river. Stand close and press Melee to cut his bonds and speak to him. He tells Lara that Colqui is alive, that he heard him call out during the skirmish with the cult guards.

The second rebel is a short distance to the southeast. To get there, head south, past the end of the bridge where the 2 cultists stand guard and through the opening in the stone wall.

Then follow the lower path, to the left of the stairs.

Use the fallen log to cross the small gap where the irrigation channel flows down toward the river. The rebel is tied up on the other side. (Remember that mission givers and the other NPCs involved in a mission will glow green when you activate Survival Instinct.) Again, press Melee to free him. He'll tell Lara that the cultists knew of their plans in advance, so there must be a spy within the rebellion.

To reach the third rebel, head to the south, between the butchers' stalls.

Turn right (southwest) and continue through the muddy area with the open fire and zip line, then up the stairs toward the VILLAGE CAVES.

The rebel is at the top of the stairs on the right, just before the cave entrance. Approach him and press Melee to set him free.

To find the fourth rebel, climb up the three man-made stone ledges near where the third rebel was tied.

Then head up the long flight of stairs to the west.

About halfway up, in an alcove on the left, you'll find the last rebel tied to a post. Free him as you did the others.

After liberating all 4 rebels, the mission objective is updated: Return to Poma. His location, back in SKULL CAVE, is marked on your map with a green icon. You can either go there on foot or use any base camp to fast travel to the SKULL CAVE Base Camp.

When you speak to Poma after freeing the prisoners, Lara also tells him about the traitor in their midst and Colqui's escape. Poma then asks Lara to travel to a mountain safehouse to look for Colqui. He also rewards her with Vestige: Ch'amaka's Greaves, which give bonus XP for assault kills.

Your new objective is to Save Colqui, and the location of the mountain safehouse is marked on your map at the south end of the city.
