Peruvian Jungle – Second Crypt (part 1)

The handholds on the rock near the document seem like the obvious path, but let's take a little detour instead. Head back to the south to find a craggy wall just to the right of a waterfall. Climb the nearby tree, jump over to the climbing wall, and latch on with your axes.

Climb up and around to the left to reach the ledge above.

Use one of your axes to mine some gold ore from the rock wall.

Then jump to grab the horizontal branch and swing over to the next ledge.

Lara will start to slide, but before she reaches the end of the slope...

...jump and steer to the left a little to land on the ledge above the little pool. (If you fall in, just drop down to the area below, return to the tree, climb back up, and try again.)

When you reach the ledge, dig up another survival cache (5/9).

Then drop down near the Crypt entrance. Use your axe to break open the crumbling stone wall to get inside.

There's a box containing a relic (4/9) just ahead. It's a Grave Marker from the Expedition Unknown Story.

Follow the tunnel farther in to find a mural (2/7) on the right. Examine it to learn about Rimak, The Storyteller, and improve Lara's understanding of the Quechua Dialect. Like the other crypt murals, this one is part of the Resting Places Story. Pick up some supplies on the left and use a rope arrow to pull down the barrier so you can continue.

The wooden gate doesn't open from this side, so follow the passageway to the left. Watch out for the trap.

If you trigger it by mistake, Lara can jump over the heavy beam that swings toward her, but it's less stressful to trigger the trap by cutting the tripwire.

In the next room is another relic (5/9), an Elongated Skull from the Myth, Magic & Monsters Story. (I'm not saying it was aliens, but....) Continue through the tunnel on the right.

If you've found all of the other collectibles related to the Quechua Dialect, Lara's skill level will now increase from Limited to Proficient. Later, when you discover monoliths written in Quechua, you will be able to decipher them more easily.

In the next room, the handle on the right opens the nearby gate, but as Lara says, this is the exit. Don't leave yet.

Instead push the handle on the left to open the other gate so you can go deeper into the crypt.

As you move through the gate, a tower of wood and stone rises out of the floor.
