[cut scene] Elena points to a wooden bridge up ahead. Lazarevic is taking Schafer deeper into the monastary. No time to lose! There is a treasure not too far away. Make sure you don't miss it. You may be able to see the sparkle from where Drake's standing [X]. Climb the steps and jump over the river. Drop over the ledge on the right then to a lower ledge. Look under the walkway. Grab treasure 77/100 [Sliver Offering Pot].
|
 |
When Drake and Elena reach the door to the tower, it's locked. Drake has to find another way in. Go to the back of the patio around to the left. Look for the broken wooden pillar. Climb the pillar to the overhead beam. Walk up the beam to the partially torn away roof [1] Leap to the broken roof beam on the left. Pull up and walk along the beams [2]. At the end, pivot left and leap to the door facing on the wall [3]. Jump to the wall brick and lean left. Climb the bricks [4].
|
 |
Climb the bricks around the corner. Look down to your left. There's a slanted tile roof. Make your way to that roof. Jump down and go to the left side of the roof. Drop down over the roof and drop down to the lower varanda (just above the river). Look up under the roof. See the sparkle? Pull out your pistol and shoot down the gem. Pick-up treasure 78/100 [Tibetan Turquoise Ring]. Climb the red wood boards on the left to get back.
|
 |
Climb up the wall at the corner as far as you can go. Go around the corner to the right. Leap to the broken beam above the door [1]. Pull up. At the wall, look left to the small red beams in the door frame [2]. Climb the frame then up the bricks along the wall [3]. (We are really high up now, so be careful). At the top, lean right and leap to the first roof rafter. [cut scene] To the right, beneath you, Drake notices a soldier patrolling.
|
 |
Monkey bar across the roof rafter beams around the corner. Don't go to the very end. Stay back 1-2 beams. The solider patrolling below has gone inside the building. There is a soldier patrolling on the upper lookout. Wait for the soldier to come into view. Use your Pistole or Desert-5 and take him with a headshot before he sees you. Once he's down, leap tot he lookout and pull up. The gunfire has attracted attention below, and they will engage in return fire.
|
 |
All your opponents will now be levels below you. Shooting from above gives your aim a distinct advantage. Pull out your rifle or in my case a Sass-12 Shotgun. Look to the platform on the right first. Peg that soldier first. Now look down to the left. Peg the soldier down below. Now leap across at the right side down to the next level. Look around to your left. Peg the soldiers storming in from the other side.
|
 |
2 soldiers will be pinned down beside the large wooden column. Take them down as they peek out. Another wave of armored soldiers will rush in from the doorway. take them down. A 3rd wave, this time with laser snipers, will rush in. Take them down. Now walk across the plank to the far side and drop down another level. Pick-up ammo or weapons. Walk around the perimeter and watch for the guys on the ground floor.
|
 |
Climb down the ladder to the ground floor. [cut scene] As Drake goes to open the giant doors, a missle slams into the building exploding the doors open. Elena runs in and quickly takes cover. Run for cover behind the wooden pillar on the left. There are 2 soldiers with RPG-7 launchers. Only way to take them down is with a sniper rifle. There happens to be one leaning on a crate up ahead by the bridge. Run up and grab it. Run back.
|
 |
Load the sniper rifle and zoom-in with the scope. Find the soldier with the missle launcher on the bridge first. Headshot please! You'll be under increased pounding by another missle launcher. He's standing on a high open balcony in the far tower. If you don't take him down soon, he'll take down the tower and you with it. Locate him with your scope crosshairs, and pick him off before he does real damage. KEEP THE SNIPER RIFLE.
|
 |
3 soldiers will start to come across the bridge. Shoot them with the sniper rifle. Another wave of heavily armored soldiers will follow behind them. Keep at it with the sniper rifle. There's lot of ammo around so take advantage of it. One soldier will carry a riot shield. You have grenades. When he gets within range, relieve him of his shield with a well-aimed explosion. When the coast is clear, Elena will run ahead. Follow her.
|
 |
Don't go in the last tower just yet. Drop over the right side of the bridge and hang. Look down and to the right. There are brick ledges leading down to a lower bridge support. See the sparkle [X]? Go to the end of the bridge and climb down the wall bricks to the lower bridge support. Grab treasure 79/100 [Carved Wooden Ghura]. Climb back up the bricks and hang from the top ledge. Shoot the unsuspecting soldier inside.
|
 |
Run inside the tower. As soon as you make an attempt to leave the tower to cross the gorge via the wooden beam bridge, you'll be picked up and targeted by at least 5 laser sights. YIKES! That ain't gonna happen. Run back in to the dark area. Elena will be firing away at the upper level. Toss a grenade to the 2nd floor. Once he's down, walk under the ladder on the right and boost Elena up to the ladder [triangle].Elena kicks down the ladder. Climb up to the 2nd floor.
|
 |
The lasers will have you pinned down tight in the tower. As soon as you attempt to cross an open wall, the sniper laser sights will be on you. Elena says she sees a sniper rifle up on the lookout. That's your cue. Make your way around to the back and climb the ladders to the top level, out of sight of the snipers. Sneak around to the back wall. Go outside, look to the left and climb the red wooden frame up to the lookout.
|
 |
Duck for cover behind the wooden crates on the left. Grab a Dragon Sniper Rifle and a 2nd one for ammo. Your first priority target is the RPG Missle Launcher in the lower window of the middle tower [1]. If you don't get him first, he'll kill you. You know you've had a successful hit when he falls back from the sniper shot he'll accidentally discharge his missle launcher, causing the whole tower to crumble and collapse FUN TO WATCH! (taking down sniper position #2 with him).
|
 |
Here is the zoom-in scope shot of the middle tower with Drake's Dragon Sniper. The crosshairs are on the soldier with the RPG. You can see the sniper in the balcony above.
|
 |
Here is the tower collapsing after the soldier with the RPG goes down. This is not a cut scene. This is real time and you can keep shooting while this is going on in front of you.
|
 |
From your same cover position (if the crate hasn't been shot to pieces), zoom-in with your scope and take down the sniper in the window in the far right tower [3] photo above ^. Run from behind cover to the far right side of the lookout and duck behind the crates there. Now focus on the far left tower. There are 2 snipers, one in each window. Pick them off one by one. Reload on sniper ammo and stay on the lookout.
|
 |
Zoom-in with your sniper scope on the wooden suspension bridge. 3 more snipers are running across. Pick them off the bridge before they get a chance to get to your side. Remember that Elena is still in the tower below you and she is no match for any sniper if they are allowed to get to her (you will have to restart should she die). Once the bridge is clear, focus your attention on the small rock outcrop island.
|
 |
While you were busy with the tower snipers and then the bridge snipers, several armored soldiers made it across to the rock outcrop and are hiding behind the crates and the rocks. With your sniper rifle still in hand (no need for scope now), use the standard aim target ring and peg the soldiers as they look out from behind the crates. Make sure to shoot any brave soldiers trying to cross the wooden beam bridge to your tower.
|
 |
Once the fighting is over and you can see no more soliders ANYWHERE!, make your way back down off the lookout. Climb down one of red corner beams and go inside the tower. Backtrack down the ladders til you meet up with Elena. YOU ARE NOT CROSSING THE BEAM BRIDGE YET! Leave Elena where she is and drop down to the lower ground level. Walk out to the wooden pier til your facing the ouctrop island ahead of you. Jump the long gap to the broken pier section [X].
|
 |
You can make it. Drake is now directly under the long suspension bridge. Go down 2 ladders to the lowest possible level. Look up and to the right. See the sparkle on the rock wall [X]? Pull out your pistol and shoot down the gem. Pick-up treasure 80/100 [Bronze Tiger Bell]. This has to be the most obscure treasure location of the game! I needed help to find this one. So? If you've been keeping track of treasures.. you now have the Crack Fortune Hunter Medal + PS3 Trophy.
|
 |
Once you have the treasure, Drake will have to go back to the tower. You cannot climb the rock here, up to the bridge. Jump across the gap back to the tower. Climb the ladder and rejoin Elena. NOW walk across the beam bridge to the suspension bridge. Load up on ammo. Elena runs up ahead and is already half way across the bridge, motioning you to hurry up. You know that this bridge is going to be trouble... right?
