Looking for the Chamber of Judgment? You'll find this optional tomb in the southern part of Shantytown. Head south-east of the windmill—it's very close to the Liberator base camp.

Keep an eye out for the traditional white paintings that mark the entrance.

Navigating the Initial Corridor

Head forward into the cave—it's pretty straightforward at first. Keep your eyes peeled for a GPS Cache along the way. Soon after Lara lights her torch, she'll slip (classic Lara!).

Be ready to hit the action button to catch the ledge. Once you're hanging, start moving right along the ledge. Don't worry about climbing up just yet—save that for when you reach the end.

When you hit a fork, go right; the left path just circles back to where you started. Keep following the path over a beam and through some narrow cracks until you reach the main hall with the Chamber of Judgment base camp and the puzzle itself.

Puzzle Part One: Freeing the Canisters

First things first: you need to free all those yellow canisters. Spot the small ramp to the left of the central statue? Jump onto it and watch it collapse, dropping a canister to the ground.

The second ramp sits between the statue and that interactive wall in the distance. Here's the thing—you can't jump directly onto it. So, grab two of the canisters you've already freed and use aiming mode to chuck them onto that second ramp.

The impact will knock it down. For the third ramp on the right, shoot a rope arrow at the moving wooden piece next to it. Swing that piece so it smacks into the ramp, and boom—down it goes, releasing your final canister.

Puzzle Part Two: Weighting the Ramp

Alright, you should have four canisters now. Time for a bit of manual labor! Pick them up one at a time and haul each one over to that long wooden ramp near the base camp.

Jump onto the end closest to the camp to drop each canister in place. Rinse and repeat until all four are sitting pretty on the ramp.

Final Ascent to the Treasure

Once all the canisters are in place, don't waste any time—sprint up that weighted ramp toward the interactive wall at the far end.

When you hit the edge, leap toward the wall and hit the action button mid-air to whip out your climbing axe. Scale the wall until you can grab onto a ladder.
