The guard nearby the crate can be dispatched easily with another stealth melee move.  Just take cover behind the crate and perform the move.  Sully will also dispatch a few grunts along the way with the sniper rifle he just found.  Move over to some crates to your left, then look for a set of explosives in the distance and blow them up to severely hurt the nearby enemy.  After disposing of him, approach the building to initiate a cutscene.

After the cutscene, many grunts ambush you and Sully.  Take cover inside the building and hurl grenades at groups of enemies while resupplying from the shiny box inside the building, nearby your starting position.

You'll want to resort to firepower from guns as well.  Keep plucking away until Sully tells Nate that he's being flanked by enemies.  Close in on Sully and take out the enemies from both sides.  Afterwards, reinforcements show up and you'll want to retreat again to the building.  Dispatch the next wave of enemies and Nate and Sully find themselves under heavy fire from the machinegun in the tower to the left.  Follow the left path and chuck a grenade inside the opening to destroy it.

.----- TREASURE #20: MONGOL PAIZA PASSPORT ------------------------------------.
|!|This treasure can be found on top of one of the wrecked ships masts.  From|!|
|!|where Sully is waiting for you to team up again it is the second mast to  |!|
|!|the middle, surrounded by several trees.  Shoot the shiny glow on top of  |!|
|!|the mast to make the treasure fall down, then collect it in the water.    |!|
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------'

You can reach Sully by walking over a fallen beam on the left side of the area.

Follow the trail through the jungle until you reach the top of the mountain.  Make sure to enjoy the breathtaking view, then enter some sort of tomb that appears to be thousands of years old.  Only meters away from the camp, you can't help but wonder if it hasn't been discovered yet, right?

Jump down the tomb and look around for clues. 

.----- TREASURE #21: JADE BELT SLIDE ------------------------------------------.
|!|This treasure is located in this area.  From your starting position, look |!|
|!|around and check the wall on your left for a statue higher up.  The shiny |!|
|!|glow shouldn't be very hard to spot - shoot and collect it.               |!|
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------'

As you enter the upper right chamber, inspect the barrels and Nate will light a torch with resin.  Now follow the blood trail on the floor to an opening in a wall.  Press Triangle to reveal a hidden area behind the wall.  Follow the hall to another large chamber and you'll find just what you've been looking for.  By the way, ever seen the movie The Shadow?  If you fancy the Phurba, go see that movie.

.----- TREASURE #22: YUAN DYNASTY HELMET --------------------------------------.
|!|Before continuing back out of the tomb, check the upper walls of this     |!|
|!|chamber first.  Look for an opening with light falling inside the tomb,   |!|
|!|and the treasure will glimmer very close by.  Shoot it down to collect it.|!|
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------'

Backtrack your way out of the tomb and climb the same pillar Chloe did.  As you exit, a cutscene unfolds.  As soon as you gain control of Nate, make a run for it.  Don't stop to shoot or melee anyone - it'll only get you killed.  You may get hit a few times, but you'll live.  When you reach the ledges, climb them, make your way to the end of the cliff and a series of scenes unfolds.
