You are in a large room containing a weight puzzle. This room also holds the final Treasure Map for marked collectibles in this area.

Locating the Chasm Shrine Treasure Map

The Chasm Shrine Treasure Map is located on the top level of this puzzle room. Lara can reach it with a few short climbs and run-ups. Acquiring this map is separate from operating the swinging pendulum.

Beginning the Weight Puzzle

Start the puzzle by using your Pry Axe to open a section of the floor, revealing a weight. Do not jump down into this pit.

Solving the Final Exit Puzzle

First, shoot a Rope Arrow at the weight while it is fully raised. Pull it to break a rock wall that masks a climbable surface leading to the exit. After breaking the wall, close the shutters over the pit, but do not lower the weight back into the hole.

With the pit covered, lower the weight so it rests on top of the shutters. Then, go to the upper level of the room. Use a Rope Arrow on the weight to grab it and set it swinging like a pendulum. Use this swinging weight to reach the climbable wall and exit the area.
