Nate regains consciousness after parachuting out of his burning plane. He lands tangled in a stone statue. He unclips himself from the harness and safely falls to the ground. Before leaving the area, search around for ammo and treasures (get used to doing this). Around the back of the staue, there's a large tree. Go to the right of the tree around to the back of the exposed roots [X]. Pick-up treasure 9/60 Silver Inca Figurine. The only way out is via the iron gate.
|
 |
The iron gate is locked. Load your pistol [L1] and aim on the lock on the gate. Shoot-out the lock. Now go up and kick down the gate. Walk down through the forest to the waterfall area. Drop down over the rock ledge. Go to the left of the pond first. Look for the sparkle on the ground, in the corner by a small tree. Pick-up treasure 10/60 Silver Fish Charm. Walk back around the pool. Walk through the shallow water on the right and climb the rock ledges to the top.
|
 |
Walk along the path back down to the stream that's feeding the waterfall. Walk up stream through the stone arch to the clearing. Go to the left first and drop down into the pool of water below. Climb up the rock ledge to the top of the last boulder [X]. Pick-up treausre 11/60 Gold Frog. Climb up the last boulder and walk across the fallen log bridge. A bird will fly away alerting the mercenaries nearby. Tilt the six axis controller to keep your balance.
|
 |
Quickly take cover [circle] behind the stone slab. 3 mercenaries are pinning you down from the next terrace. There are 2 on the bottom terrace, and 1 sniper up top. Load your pistol and peek out from the slab. Shoot them as they appear. HINT: You may find it easier to unlock your cover [circle again] and use [L3] (click the left analog stick) to toggle the "over the shoulder" shooter view from left to right. When all 3 are dead, run across the log and pick up all their ammo.
|
 |
Climb up the vine along the rock wall to the upper level. Another merecnary runs towards you. Time for a fist fight. Use a brutal combo attack and take him down. Go to the far left behind the stone walls to the wooden crates. Pick up the 2 hand greandes. Down the path, 2 more mercenaries are waiting to ambush. They toss hand grenades back at your position. If you see one drop near you (watch the arrow and symbol in lower right corner), run away FAST!
|
 |
Use the six axis controller to aim the grenade arc. The grenade has to explode fairly close to do any colateral damage on enemies. Walk down the paasage picking up ammo on the way. Walk over the small pond and climb up the rock face to the upper terrace, overlooking the clearing. There are MANY mercenaries patrolling down below. Walk down to the edge and jump across to the tall stone wall. Use [circle] and drop down to the ground. Take cover anywhere.
|
 |
GET READY FOR A MAJOR GUN BATTLE! This will be your first real test to prove how good a shooter you are. In the first wave, there are 4 shooters in close and 3 more at a distance. Use the broken stone wall as your cover. Peek out from behind the wall and pick-off each shooter one by one. If you can headshots are ideal and worth bonus points. Be patient and wait for a shooter to come out, from behind a pillar or stone wall. When it goes quiet, run to the end on the right.
|
 |
More mercenaries drop in from the upper terraces. Shoot out barrels and try to blow-up 2-3 enemies before they get to you. 10 more men arrive, pinning you down in the corner. Run out and grab an AK-47 rifle then run back to your cover wall where you came in. Take down the rest of the soldiers, then clean-up the whole area for lots of ammo for both your PM-9 pistol & AK-47 rifle. Find the broken pillar and climb the pillars to the top of the archway. Walk to the left.
|
 |
Jump to the stone terrace and go left to the end [X] above. Look for the sparkle behind the tree on the right. Pick-up treasure 12/60 Intricate Gold Ring. Walk back along the terrace to the end. Jump across the gap on the right to the next clearing. Grab the hand grenades on the crates. Go knock down the iron gates to the next area. Another big gun fight! Run back and climb to the window hole in the stone wall. Hang from the ledge and shoot enemies from above.
|
 |
There will be 3 waves of enemies in the misty area. Once you finish the first wave run through the doorway, engage the men, then run back out. There are enemies to your left & right, so this is the safest vantage point. Use grenades and your AK-47 to take em all down. Once it goes quiet, search ALL the men for AK-47 ammo. You can never have enough! Carefully walk down the next path. Try and peg a few enemies in the next area through the archway before entering.
|
 |
Inside the next open area, more enmies jump down from the ledges. You'll definitely be pinned down in this area. Your only hope is to run back through the doorway against the right wall. Peek around the corner, and take down the enemies from behind the pillars as they jump out. Once it's quiet, grab all the ammo you can, LEAVE THE MOSS-12 SHOTGUN! (not enough ammo). Climb the ledge at the back, walk left [X], pick-up treasure 13/60 Patterned Silver Ring.
|
 |
From the back ledge, face into the courtyard, and jump to the wall ledge. Jump to the broken wall. Climb up the wall and jump across the tops of the pillars. At the end, jump to the window ledge above the iron gate. Walk through the archway and safety-drop [circle] off the ledge, to the ground below. Walk down the narrow passageway out to the next ruins area. There are enemies patrolling. Take cover behind the high right wall. If you time it right, they won't see you!
|
 |
Kill the first 4 mercenaries as they come out shooting. Remember! Head-shots are best and efficient! Head-shot marksman (10 kills) = 10 points. Run out to the clearing and hide behind another stone pillar. 4 more men will come running up the path. Good time for a grenade kill (pinned between the walls). Once quiet, pick-up all the ammo and walk to the back by the forest [X]. Grab treasure 14/60 Golden Jaguar.
|
STRATEGY: In this chapter, you can easily get these rewards.... Killing 3 enemies with 1 hand grenade earns you Dyno-Might! = 10 points. During gunfights, killing 5 enemies in a row with a perfect headshot Headshot Expert = 10 points.
|
 |
Walk down the passage and come out on a high ledge near the waterfall area. The stone bridge has broken away so we'll need to find another way across. Look right. Jump to the boulder ledge, then leap to the ledge on the far rock face. Shimy and leap to the left to the rock outcrop at the end. Jump up 2 ledges and shimy to the left around the corner. Lean back, jump to the small pillar island. Jump across to the next lower pillar, then grab the base of the bridge section.
|
 |
Pull up quickly (gunfire will start right away). Duck for cover behind the bridge retaining wall. There are 2 snipers on top of the falls and THEY'RE REALLY GOOD SHOOTERS! If you miss too many times and are vulnerable for more than 4-5 seconds, you'll be dead. Pick'em off the ledge. (they fall over the cliff). Jump to the next pillar on the left, then grab the far wall (by the falls). Shimy to the right then jump to the next pillar and up to the next bridge section.
|
 |
Walk down the bridge. The camera will go bird's eye view. Jump down to the pillar below on the right, then walk onto the broken section. [action sequence] The stone pillar breaks away and Nate tries to keep his balance as it starts to sink. Jump over to the small pillar. Jump to the next pillar ledge. Shimy around to the right then across to the next pillar. Leap to the top ledge. While hanging over the ledge, load your pistol. Shoot out the barrel on the truck.
|
 |
The truck flies over the cliff and wedges between 2 stone pillars. Quickly walk over the truck-bed to the next stone pillar before it disappears over the falls. Jump up the stone pillars to the upper waterfalls. 2 snipers will appear at the top of the falls. Take cover, hanging from the tall boulder in the water. While hanging just above the water, shoot the snipers above the falls. Once quiet, swim and walk out of the water on the right. Climb the rock ledges.
|
 |
Walk up the ledges to the rock outcrop (looks like a plank). First, off to the right, in the valley below [X], jump down and pick-up treasure 15/60 Silver Inca Vessel. If you've collected 15 treasures, you'll also earn Enthusiast Fortune Hunter Reward. Jump back to the stone plank and leap to grab the upturned log. When the log drops down, climb up on top and walk to the back rock wall. Jump and climb up the vines.
|
 |
GET READY FOR ANOTHER BIG GUNFIGHT! Jump down to the grassy area and duck for cover. Pick-off the enemies one by one as they come down the path from the archway. You'll be pinned behind the baracade for awhile, so shoot wisely and efficiently or you'll run out! Move up to the building ruins for a closer shot. Run and grab ammo while in "cover" mode [circle] (use X+leftstick) to roll and stay crouched. Take 'em all down then go to the big tree [X] with your wrecked plane.
|
 |
Climb the dangling rope and go inside the plane. [movie sequence] Nate carefully crawls up to the cockpit and grabs the old map sitting on the instrument panel. As he goes to leave the plane, it starts to jar loose in the tree. Nate looks through a window and off in the distance, sees Elena's parachute hanging from a tower in the fortress. He wonders if she is ok? Slide down the rope and fight the next 2 waves of enemies dropping in from the entrance (where we came in).
|
 |
After the gunfight is FINALLY over, make sure you search every body for ammo! You want to have SOME ammo for your pistol and AK-47 before leaving. Walk out the archway to the bluffs overlooking the ocean (beautiful view). Search the grassy area to the right of the archway as you walk through. Grab treasure 16/60 Golden Toothpick. Slowly walk up the grassy slope. Up ahead, a patrolling solider gets killed by a trip-wire bamboo gate trap (very grusome).
|
 |
Enjoy the incredible scenery while you navigate the next section. Walk along the bluff path then jump to the next set of ledges. Work you way along the bluffs til you get to the point where you drop down to the stone ledge below you. Before walking up the slope to another gunfight, walk to the right to the end of the rock hanging out over the water [X]. Under the rock, pick-up treasure 17/60 Silver Bird Vessel. Slowly walk back to the stone ledge. Go for cover.
|
 |
This is an intense gun battle. BE CAREFUL! There's a guy with a jungle hat perched on a platform with an RPG-7 (grenade) rifle which is instant death if he hits anywhere near you! Take him down with a head-shot as soon as you can. Collect any ammo and grab that RPG-7. From the upper platform, shoot all the refinforcements that run in from the path ahead. Use the RPG to trip the bamboo trip-wire traps in the trees. Collect ammo fom the dead bodies below.
|
 |
Drop the RPG (probably empty anyway) and reclaim any AK-47 rifle from the ground. Carefully walk around the tress with the bamboo traps and out the archway to the path leading up to the fortress. Turn around and walk up the small stone incline on the left (now facing back to the last area). To your right [X], pick-up treasure 18/60 Silver Inca Earring. Walk up the incline towards the fortress. CHAPTER ENDS.
