The First Ruins

When you first enter the tomb, you will try to jump a gap but fall into water. Walk into the next room to see the God of Death Mural in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Climb the ledges and jump on the weight to the right of the stairs to find a Base Camp. Cross the bridge and swim through a small underwater tunnel. On the other side, you can find a Resource Container and the Judge's Gaze Mural.

Exploring the Courtyard

Before you start the puzzle, climb up to a side area on the right. You will find the Surprise Witness Document on the left. You can jump on a weight here to get back down to the floor.

While moving around the upper levels, watch out for a tripwire. Cut it and crawl under a spear trap to find Jack's Journal Document.

Solving the Statue Puzzle

Inside the main courtyard, you have to move a few things to get up high. Start by pushing the Cart away from the counterweight on the far side. Push it until it touches the wooden ladder. Take the second Cart near the statue and move it to where the first one was.

Tie a rope from the statue to the side of the ladder. Now, climb the wall near the carts and jump on the counterweight to lock it down. This raises the ladder partway.

Push the small Cart under the ladder to hold the weight. Tie the other side of the ladder to the second statue. Finally, go back to the courtyard entrance and jump on the last counterweight to lift the ladder all the way up in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Leaving the Tomb

Once you finish the main puzzle, walk up the raised ladder and jump over to the altar. You can pick up Gold Ore on both sides before taking your reward, which is the Caiman's Heart Skill.

To leave, use a Rope Arrow to make a line to the left side of the courtyard and slide down. Pry open the wooden barrier you passed earlier and climb the back wall. You will slide down another rope and reach a rock wall.

Climb up and jump across tree branches and rock faces until you can rappel back down to the start of the tomb in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
