I began working on the basic stuff for this guide a while ago (a basic outline, title, and the outlining info, etc), but the actual walkthrough began here. This is the first completed version. Got a lot to work on and fix up, etc. Hopefully this is a good start though. Version 1.25 - 10/19/09 --First update. I made it a goal to try and handle the treasures first and so I've added a lot more to the walkthrough and I'm hoping to find most of if not all of the remaining ones next. I added the Trophies section and also added a little more here and there, made a bunch of fixes and removed a few typos. Version 1.30 - 10/20/09 --Small update. Mostly a few fixes here and there, not the least of which was the dates in the version history--doh! More importantly however, added even more treasures to the walkthrough, a tiny bit more to Basics and that's about it for now. Version 1.35 - 10/21/09 --Added more treasures, quite a few thanks to helpful readers. Now there's only three treasures left to add! Other than that, I made a tiny update to Basics, and made a fix here or there to the walkthrough. Version 1.40 - 10/23/09 --In this update, all of the treasures have been added! Huzzah! My thanks to those who made this possible with your e-mails and such. That is the high point of this update, unfortunately. Not much else besides a few minor information updates, fixes, and a new FAQ question added. Version 1.50 - 10/28/09 --Been busy with college. Blah. In any case, I managed to finally get time enough to do an update. I finally added the Medals sub-section. I also added a totally brand new sub-section in the Extras section. This sub-section covers the multiplayer co-op briefly. There was also a very solid strategy added for Chapter 26 on Crushing, provided by a reader. Minor fixes, changes, etc. make up the remainder of the update. Version 1.55 - 11/4/09 --Added the rest of the medals. I'm hoping to expand on that section a little bit in the future. Also added more to the co-op multiplayer section. I might expand on multiplayer in general and make that it's own section. A couple fixes and that's it. Version 1.60 - 11/9/09 --Just added a little more to the co-op section which includes a few tips submitted to me. I got just a little more to work on before I'm pretty much done with this guide for a while. ___ _, __, _, __, _, __, _, _, _, _ ___ __, _, _ ___ _, | /_\ |_) | |_ / \ |_ / ` / \ |\ | | |_ |\ | | (_ | | | |_) | , | \ / | \ , \ / | \| | | | \| | , ) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~ ~~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ____________________________________________________________________ | 1|Introduction..............................................

Uncharted 2 looks to expand and perfect everything in what was already an extremely solid and satisfying game. If you've come here for help of any kind, then I welcome you, friend. Hopefully you enjoy your stay (take off your shoes, please--just kidding) and try to have fun, because that's what it's all about, right? [About This Guide] I recently wrote a guide for the original Uncharted, as it was a very good and enjoyable game and it was also lacking in guides. There, I remarked about getting the sequel and look at that, here we are! This is quite possibly my second to last planned guide for 2009, but there is still a good chance that I will squeeze something in between now and whatever is next or after. Who knows. In this guide, I decided to stay with a familiar format to the Uncharted guide, but I made several changes and improvements I hope. [Using This Guide] If this is your first time reading an FAQ, then let me refer you back up to the top where the Table of Contents are. See those little codes at the end of the ellipses (....) there? Those are quickjumps you can enter into the ctrl+f function of your web browser to quickly jump (hence the name) to a certain section of this guide without having to scroll. You can also use it to search for relevant keywords which is also useful. Should you have any questions, concerns, comments, or something to bring to my attention, I beg you to first read Frequently Asked Questions section for any possible questions, and the Contact Info section for my rules on submitting me information. Those sections can be found near the end of the guide. ___ _ | _ )__ _ ___(_)__ ___ | _ | _` (_-<| / _(_-< |___|__,_/__/|_\__/__/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------[bscs] ======== Controls [bctr] ======== A quick look at the control layout for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

It doesn't possess a steep learning curve and frankly, it's difficult to put down. [Exploration and Climbing] One exciting aspect of Uncharted is drawn from the incredible leaps, bounds, and heights that Nathan Drake must take. Although the game for the most part offers you limited paths, the experience is always different. When you're not running, you're usually climbing, jumping, swinging, and so on. Not everything can be climbed so there is no free roaming in the game. Most visible ledges can be traversed though. There are also swing poles, monkey bars, ropes, and more. One of the most common and immediately recognizable climbing paths comes in the form of small stones or other protrusions jutting out from walls. They usually are easy to spot because their color makes them stick out. Whether they have moss or snow on them, they are usually easy to find. When climbing or shimmying, you might come across small gaps. You can hit X to get over these. X also lets Drake climb a bit faster by jumping higher up a wall. Hitting circle lets Drake drop to lower ledges and then hang when necessary. [Puzzle Solving] Uncharted 2 has some puzzles in it. Not quite as many as the original Uncharted which you could debate as good or bad. They serve as fun interims between the combat sections of the game. For the major puzzles in the game, you are able to consult Drake's journal by hitting the Select button. You can flip through the pages and find the ones relevant to the puzzle at hand and then use your brain to pick up the clues. [Treasure Hunting] Just like in the original game, there are goodies to be found for those with a penchant for fully exploring everything. Treasures can be picked up with the Triangle button when close enough to them. Typically, they are picked up off the ground, but there are many different places to find them. Uncharted 2 has 40 more treasures than Uncharted 1. Treasures can be spotted by their tell-tale sparkle that is given off every couple of seconds. Once collected, you can see the appearance of the treasure on the right side of the screen. Pressing the Start button allows you to look at it closer and look at all your treasures in a list format. There are no descriptions or background information unfortunately. Unlike in the original game, some of the treasures in this game are a bit more out of reach. There are some that are on ground level but hidden, others that require some climbing, and then there are those that you just can't reach at all... that is, unless you're packing heat. Similar to Resident Evil 5, there are some treasures that you need to shoot to knock them down so you can gather them. There are also treasures that you can reach by climbing a wall or ledge and getting very close. ====== Combat [bcom] ====== Combat in Uncharted 2 is an art, both in presentation and execution. The most familiar aspects of the combat return from Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, but there are a slew of welcome changes. [Damage] The Damage Indicator, like Uncharted 1 (and much like FPS and other types of games), is basically the screen. No health bar or anything like that. You can determine how close you are to death by the status of the game screen. The more damage Nathan Drake sustains, the more the screen fades to black and white and the louder the heartbeat becomes. Obviously, when it gets to black and white, it's wise to stay hidden until it eventually returns to normal. Inflicted damage is indicated by the red "blood" flash on the screen. Most of this will be inflicted by gun wounds. Explosions from grenades can easily set the damage indicator into black and white depending on Drake's proximity to the explosion. At close range, they'll kill him. Rolling is a good way to shave off potential hits but it is not perfect. It's a useful maneuver in tight spots though. Obviously, the most reliant method in preventing damage is using cover... and shooting them before they shoot you. When it comes to your opponents however, there are no visible signs telling you how close they are to dead. The major exception are the armored guys who lose their helmets when they're getting close to biting it. Head shots will of course, solve everything. [Guns, Ammo, and other Icons] When you need bullets, look to weapons dropped by your enemies. Stand over them and the icon of the Triangle button will appear along with an enclosed symbol that looks like (|||) that. This means there's ammo for one of your two equipped guns and that gun has room. When you stand over ammo for a gun that you have already loaded up on, a Cancel or "No" symbol appears instead. You have two gun slots. One is the handgun slot and the other is for rifles. You can only carry one of each type at a time and there are many guns out there so when you find a new gun and stand near it, the image of the gun and its name appear at the bottom of the screen and a Triangle prompt appears if you want to pick it up. It will replace the current weapon of that type in your inventory. Learning what guns go best for which situations or which better suit your preferences and being able to change on the fly can be very helpful. Finally, there is a new icon you might notice while playing. It's a blue icon that looks like a ninja basically. What does it mean? This icon appears after you've taken down an enemy stealthily and stand near their dropped gun. The icon signifies that the ammo they have dropped has more bullets. Stealth melees are basically the equivalent to Brutal Combos in Uncharted 1. [Aiming and Hip-Fire] You can aim your gun with L1 and a small reticle will appear that shows where your bullets will approximately go. You can aim a gun while standing, hanging, running, or from behind cover. You shoot much more accurately when standing, hanging or looking out from cover. The targeting reticle becomes much wider and your shots are as a result, less accurate when running or when using blindfire. If you shoot without holding L1, you'll hip-fire which is also less accurate. It's good to do when on the run and sometimes it's useful to rush enemies this way but it's also very risky. [Zooming] Many of the rifles in the game have at least some capacity of zoom. The button for Zoom is R3. Rifles like the M4 and such have a very limited, but still a little helpful zoom. It barely looks like they zoom at all but it does give you a better look at what you're shooting at. The FAL rifle has a much better zoom with a red dot-sight. This gives the FAL better accuracy at bigger ranges than other guns. The Dragon Sniper has the best accuracy at long ranges because its zoom produces the crosshairs of a classic sniper rifle. [Blindfire] Blindfire has gotten a minor tweak in the sequel. Blindfire can be initiated from any spot of cover in the game. Simply hit R1 without hitting L1 to lift from cover. Drake will aim his gun around the cover to shoot. This is a good defensive tactic for one. The major change this time is that you now have a targeting reticle but it's a wide one. You can at least see where you're aiming but of course, it will not be terribly accurate. Blindfire is extremely effective against enemies rushing your hiding spots. [Hand-to-Hand Combat] Melee combat has been given a slight overhaul. There are technically no more "Brutal Combos" in Uncharted 2 but there is a similar concept. When engaged in melee combat, you can mash Square to your heart's desire to beat your opponent. For some enemies, this works fine. Others decide to fight back. They'll try to reverse Drake's assault and counter him. At these moments during the sequence, the game slows down a bit. This is the cue to hit Triangle and escape the enemy's grapple. Follow this up immediately by hitting Square to perform a finisher. Not every enemy will counter but a lot will. Some will even counter twice during a melee sequence. [Grenades] The grenades are one of Nathan Drake's most important combat tools. Naughty Dog went ahead and made a very strong improvement to the grenade system. In the original Uncharted, you could aim a grenade from just about any position by holding L2, creating the arc line. The distance and arc could be controlled by the Right Analog Stick and the SIXAXIS controller, both of which were pretty much necessary to get pinpoint accuracy. Needless to say, this made things just a bit frustrating, especially on Crushing where enemies would rather fill you full of holes than wait for you to line up your grenade throws. The arc method makes a return in Uncharted 2, but there's also a more efficient method of tossing these pineapples. Just hold L1 to enter aim mode and Nate points his gun like normal. Just hit L2 at this point and Drake tosses his grenade at the point where his reticle is. Not only is this method really fast and keeps you from taking too many unnecessary hits, but it is very accurate. The grenades thrown in this method will land pretty much exactly where you're pointing. ======= Weapons [bcwp] ======= COMING SOON __ ___ _ _ _______ _ _ ___ ___ _ _ ___ _ _ \ \ / /_\ | | | |/ /_ _| || | _ \/ _ \| | | |/ __| || | \ \/\/ / _ \| |__| ' < | | | __ | / (_) | |_| | (_ | __ | \_/\_/_/ \_\____|_|\_\ |_| |_||_|_|_\\___/ \___/ \___|_||_| ------------------------------------------------------------------------[at00] Well, here we are. The meat of the guide that is the walkthrough. I'm sure you jumped here anyway, right. Go ahead, hurt my feelings... Anyways, it's my hope that you get some help out of this guide, whether you're just looking for a few hints or planning to use this all the way through. I'll be here to be of as much assistance as possible. This guide does not contain any major spoilers. Names will be named and almost none of the cutscenes will be discussed. It is not 100% spoiler free but you will not be spoiled on any twists or surprises by reading this guide. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ _ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ / | | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | | | | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < | | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_| [at01] -----------------------------\A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE/------------------------- Well, here we begin, and boy, what a beginning it is. Oh, Nathan Drake, you rascal, you! What have you gotten yourself into this time? In any case, after the cutscene is over, you should have control over Drake. There are no in-game button prompts to guide you so you've gotta do everything on your own. Begin by shimmying on the railing left or right. Keep going around the side of the train until you are on its backside. Here are a bunch of grooves that you can use to climb straight up, so tilt the Left Analog Stick upward and that's what he'll do. If you get too close to the train's wheels, you'll get a bit of a scare and will have to climb up again. Climb up the right side of the wheels and there will finally be a button prompt. Hit X to jump to the next thing you can latch onto. Climb up a pipe of sorts and then look for the black generator box thing on your left with the yellow borderline. Shimmy across this to the left until you can climb onto another yellow pipe. Take this up until it breaks and bends, swinging you around the other side of the train. At the next button prompt, point the Left Analog stick toward the train as it says to swing, then hit X to jump and grab onto the train. Shimmy around the corner to what is the roof of the train and climb up from here. There is an opening just above you that you can climb onto with X. Jump inside, landing on the first topsy-turvy chair (hope you don't have vertigo!). Jump to the next one and then climb up. The next one will tilt a bit, but hit X to jump to the next one above. Pull yourself up with X again and there will be yet another seat above and to the right. Attempt to pull yourself up out of this one and you'll be flung outside of the train again, hanging for dear life! It just doesn't get more exciting than this, huh? Outside again, jump to a grab-able ledge on the right and then climb up the pipe. It will tilt, and in fact, the entire train will, jostling a door open. From the pipe, jump to it. Pull yourself up, then climb to the top of the train and from here, you can see the connecting train hanging not quite as precariously over the cliff. Align yourself with the yellow ladder and jump to it. Pull yourself up and enter this train. Woo! Level ground! Sort of... The train begins to tilt even more, so start running down the aisle and then jump for it when you reach the end. Whoa, that was close... A cutscene takes over so sit back and enjoy that. When you finally get control again, you can take a look around but there's not a whole lot to see. There is one thing though. You might have noticed to the right of the big tree on the cliff is a sparkling object. Uncharted 1 veterans will recognize this with a hearty grin. Go over to inspect it and hit Triangle to pick up... *drumroll* your first treasure! o----TREASURE - Wrathful Deity Statue--------------------------o |As soon as you have control move Drake over to the spot in | |front of the tree on the right side of the cliff. This can be | |found a few steps in front of it. Look for the sparkle. | o--------------------------------------------------------------o Once you have that, stagger toward the wreckage and proceed underneath. Move toward the next corner. It looks like a tight fit, but you'll slip through. On the other side, ignore the door to your left and search around the dead body on the oil spill for a gun. Hit Triangle to take it (thanks, pal). o----TREASURE - Saraswati Statue--------------------------o |Just search in the top corner, above where the dead body | |is to find this. You get your first treasure and a medal | |and Trophy to reward you for it as well! Schwing! | o---------------------------------------------------------o Now for that door. Go over to it and hit Triangle to open it slightly. Step inside and move forward. Hit X to hop over the small debris and pick up the ammo on the other side. Try to open the door at the end and it will reveal a padlock. What monster is responsible for this?! Oh well, you have a master key on you, don't you? Use the pistol and aim at the lock. Fire to shoot it off and then you can finally open the door. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Snuff Bottle--------------------------o |As soon as you depart that train car, look straight up. Use | |the right stick to angle the camera and get a better view. | |You should see another train car piled overhead and hanging | |from one opening, an enemy corpse. See the sparkling gem on | |his body? It's out of reach, so you're gonna have to shoot it| |down. Aim for the sparkle, fire, and that should bring it to | |within reach of your grubby hands. | o-------------------------------------------------------------o Continue on and an enemy will appear. Oh boy, civilization! I mean, oh crap! Don't worry too much about this guy because bad luck will be the victor of this fight. Enter the next train and bust down the doors with Triangle. Proceed up the ramp outside into another train. It seems you can't go anywhere though at first. Climb up the crates here and then the small grooves you can barely see in the red painted wall. At the top, jump to the next train and you should land perfectly in front of the door. Stop here though and don't enter just yet. o----TREASURE - Bhutanese Lime Box--------------------------o |When you jump to this next section of the train after that | |climbing part, turn around. There will be a large grey | |container behind Drake. Drop down here and move even more | |toward the camera and drop down the other side of it. You | |can find this sneaky treasure here in the snow. | o-----------------------------------------------------------o Climb back to the train. Go down the aisle and climb the box at the end. Pull yourself out onto the roof and a small cutscene will interject you. This will be followed by another flashback scene. After that, Drake gets to his feet and you get control again. Move toward the camera and look for the giant gaping hole in the train. Across from you is another part of the train with a pipe. Jump to it, wait for the camera to shift around, then shimmy underneath. Pull yourself up onto the train door. o----TREASURE - Ghau Amulet Thogchag--------------------------o |As soon as you climb from the bent yellow pipe to inside of | |the train, spin the camera around. The area behind where you | |climb up houses the treasure. Go back here and find it near | |the wall. | o-------------------------------------------------------------o Stagger on forward. Eventually, you'll be outside again. Trudge on through the snow and another scene takes over. This signals the end of the first chapter. Congrats, but we have a long way to go! ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ ____ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ |___ \ | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | __) | | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < / __/ \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_____| [at02] -----------------------------\BREAKING AND ENTERING/--------------------------- Start by climbing out of the water and follow Flynn into the corner. Wha? Where did he go? Look above and that's your answer. Climb up after him and follow him into the next chamber. He'll leave you in the dust if you let him so trying to follow his exact path can be difficult. Start by jumping to the right platform and going to the far wall. Jump at an angle to reach the yellow pipe. Take it to the left and look for Drake to reach out with his hand. That means you can jump to the next section. If his body merely tilts, that's not good enough. He needs to reach out with his hand before you can jump. Jump across the sections of pipe and climb up the final piece to put your back to the next ledge. Point the Left Analog Stick away and hit X to jump to it. Climb up and follow Flynn to the dead end, or seemingly dead end. Hit Up on the D-Pad when prompted to see your avenue for entry. After some humorous dialogue, Flynn will get in position to boost you up. Hit Triangle near him to climb up. You can hold up on the Left Analog Stick for the most part and you'll reach the manhole at the top. When you're right underneath it, hit X to jump inside. At the top, hit Triangle to get inside. o----TREASURE - Byzantine Gold Coin--------------------------o |As soon as you climb out of the manhole leading from the | |sewer, turn around. In the corner behind Drake is a large | |crate with this shining on top of it. | o------------------------------------------------------------o Move forward and hop over the large green pipe and take a look around. On the wall in front of you, there is a ladder hanging above. Get in position and hold Triangle to give Flynn a boost this time. Wait for him to get over, climb up, and then drop the ladder for you. Climb up and follow Flynn up the next wall. Pull yourself up at the top. o----TREASURE - Glass Evil Eye--------------------------o |Right after you climb up the ladder after Flynn drops | |it down, climb up the next wall. At the top, turn | |around and you should see a small yellow catwalk behind| |you with a large green pipe near it. Get a good angle | |and jump to this catwalk. Look for the treasure on the | |ground here. | o-------------------------------------------------------o Jump back to Flynn after you have the treasure, then listen to what he says about the next passage. The vents from the boiler are spitting out really hot steam so you can't go this way yet. Look for a ladder across from Flynn and climb it. The valve will be up here, so get close and tap Triangle repeatedly to turn it off. Climb back down and climb over the green pipe. You probably have lost sight of Flynn and might wonder how to get over this next gap. Just jump and you'll grab onto a small yellow pipe hanging overhead. Swing from this, then jump to the next platform. Flynn will be on your left; look for all the yellow pipes and stuff. Jump to him and he'll take off again. Hit Circle as prompted to drop over the other side of that ledge. Shimmy to the left until you're hanging above the catwalk. Drop down again by hitting Circle and then follow Flynn. A prompt to hit Circle will appear so do so. This is your button to take cover behind objects, which will be crucial in gunfights. Enter the next room where Flynn is after the short scene. o----TREASURE - Ottoman Ring--------------------------o |In this room, with all the objects, artifacts, and | |rugs, it's almost given that there has to be a | |treasure in here. To find it, go forward until you | |find some steps in front of a pair of brown-red doors| |and then at the top of those steps, take a right. You| |should pass three rugs, a statue on the left and then| |in the corner finally, is where the treasure is. | o-----------------------------------------------------o Approach the doors now and hit Triangle. Flynn will try to pick the lock, but Drake notices there's an alarm set. You need to find the junction box and shut it off. You can follow the tiny red wire leading away from the alarm but it's hard to see, especially if you don't have an HDTV, so let's just cut to the chase, eh? Return to the entrance of this room and look for a container or crate up against a wall. It should be right below a breaker like panel. Climb up to reach it and hit Triangle to interact and voila! Return to Flynn and he'll be waiting for you. Proceed through the door for a very quick scene. After that, step out of cover as prompted and approach the security guard. Stealth melee him to put him to sleep with Square. Hop over the railing after Flynn and follow him. Take cover beside the planter. You'll get a tutorial on how to shift from one side of cover to another without having to get up, which is quite useful. Move away from Flynn and go around the planter until you're behind the guard. Stay in cover and just inch closer to him until you can stealth melee him. Follow Flynn to the gate ahead and climb up. Hit X at the top to reach the ledge to shimmy on. Go over to the left and climb up to the balcony with Flynn. Take cover on the right side of this hall, following Flynn's cue. The next two guards will spot you, so when you're ready, slip up toward them and as you are prompted, hit Square repeatedly to do a melee combo. Flynn will take care of the other one for you. At the next stop, Flynn instructs you to go left while he goes right. Go left, and look for the next guard around the corner. Take cover and try to get to the corner as he does and then melee him. Hop over the railing to get to the area below. Turn left and climb up the ledge. Look for another guard. You really don't even have to worry if he spots you, because he'll stand there dumbfounded long enough for you punch his lights out. Flynn, meanwhile, should take care of the remaining guard. o----TREASURE - Silver Amulet Box--------------------------o |After you drop over the railing, go left (as above) and | |climb up a short ledge. There will be a guard on the right| |but if you go straight, there should be a planter right | |between two pillars. If you approach the planter, the | |treasure is on top. | o----------------------------------------------------------o Approach the gate where Flynn is for a short scene. The gate is protected by another alarm. This one is a lot closer, but you still have to work for it a little. Use the gate itself to climb. At the top, look for the golden ledges to your right and jump to these. Shimmy around the corner, and it should be a straight climb up to the junction box. Approach the gate again and interact to proceed to the next area. This one is a little tougher, because as you can see, there are a lot of guards here, and Flynn decides to just leave it to Drake. Great. Start by finding Flynn who is taking cover near the corner banister. Jump over it from here and proceed toward the fountain. Take cover and go as close to the guard as you can, who won't notice you surprisingly. Jump into the water of the fountain next. o----TREASURE - Silver Belt Buckle--------------------------o |In the inner part of the large fountain. It's right behind | |the reclining guard. Hop in there and grab it. | o-----------------------------------------------------------o Go around this guard and proceed to the planter right below a banister where another guard is standing. Climb up and hang from the top of the banister. You won't get a prompt, but hit Square to pull this guard over the banister and take him out. Climb over and Flynn will follow. The next guard appears from the right. Wait for him to pass by, then stealth melee him from behind. Follow Flynn now and climb up onto the roof. Climb to the top of the window and then shimmy around the corner. Drop from above the window to grab the ledge and then pull yourself inside. Drop down for a scene. After that, you'll be equipped with a tranq gun. Great, you couldn't have given this to me earlier? It only has one bullet, but you'll find that it magically reloads itself. Oooooh. Behind cover, wait for the left guard to sit onto the crate and then shoot him. Flynn will handle the other. Flynn will move to the right and climb up to take cover. Climb up yourself and use the crates where the guard's body is as your cover. These next guys can spot you and if they do, the alarm is tripped, etc, etc. Wait patiently for the guy on the right to get within range. He is your target as the guy on the left is closer to Flynn than he is to Drake and as Flynn said, the guns have limited range, so Drake has to get the guy on the right. Do so, and Flynn of course, handles his counterpart. Go over to the small cart that Flynn was using as cover and look for the Circle prompt. Move it then with the Left Analog Stick. Climb onto the crate to reach the above platform. Wait for Flynn to use his grappling hook (who is he, Batman?) and then use that to climb up. At the top, you can move onto the small stones jutting out of the wall. As you move across, a guard will appear from the doors below. Use your tranq gun to pop him before things go sour. Continue to climb across now, by jumping to the ledge in the corner. Shimmy over until you can pull yourself up. The rafters are here, so go across. The columns make it impossible to just walk across so you'll have to drop down and hang on with Circle. Shimmy over past the two columns and then you can climb back up. Near the end, hit X to climb the rafter above. o----TREASURE - Ivory Chess Piece--------------------------o |As soon as you climb up from the first rafter, you'll be | |on a horizontal rafter perpendicular to a lot of vertical | |ones, all pointing towards windows and there's a large | |bell on your right. Go as far right as you can and take | |the last vertical rafter forward toward the window sill. | |The treasure is there for the taking. | o----------------------------------------------------------o Take the horizontal rafter over to the left and look for another rafter below you to drop onto. You don't have to hang on this one, just jump across to the next platform where a staircase is. Take the stairs up and somehow, Flynn will have magically followed you. What the hell?! At the top of the stairs, turn right and go through the open window to reach the roof. At the corner, a short scene takes over. After that, follow Flynn around the roof to an opening where you can drop down. Once you're hanging, tilt the Left Analog Stick correctly so you can jump to the rooftop behind Drake. Climb up and then press up against the wall here. Use the Left Analog Stick to press up flat against it and sidle around this building. At the end, jump another rooftop gap for a short, but exciting event. After that, follow Flynn up the next wall and over the banister. He'll deploy another rope for you. How thoughtful. This time, you won't be climbing up it though. Get on and then use the Left Analog Stick to swing back and forth. Build some momentum and then when you're ready, jump to the right to grab onto the grate. o----TREASURE - Ottoman Bracelet--------------------------o |Once you jump from the rope to the grating, don't climb | |up. Drop down and look for the red and white ledge below.| |Drop down to this and shimmy to the right. Take it around| |the corner of the building until you see the treasure | |sparkling from a sewage drain below. Drop down onto the | |drain and then hit circle again to hang from the drain | |itself. This allows you to nab the treasure. Make your | |way back after that. | o---------------------------------------------------------o Climb up and to the right, looking for the yellow ledges. Climb straight up to the roof but don't pull yourself up. A guard is there. As you did before, hit Square to pull him down. On the roof, follow Flynn to the base of the tower. Use the nearby large air conditioner-like machine to jump from and reach the ledge on the tower. Climb the yellow ladder and then you can climb across the protrusions here like monkey bars. When you reach the end, you can see a guard below you. Aim and shoot to take him down. Climb the rest of the way and then swing for a bit, then jump. Move toward the opening and drop down. Go right, around the small tower with the vines and flowers on it. o----TREASURE - Antique Pocket Watch--------------------------o |Once you go around that tower, stop on the opposite side. | |Look to the tower itself and on the front side of it will be | |a flag or banner and the treasure will be next to that. Shoot| |it with the tranq. gun and it will fall to the roof below. | |Drop down and get it. Climb to the roof here (not the ledge | |in front of it) and follow Flynn as you were. | o-------------------------------------------------------------o Jump from rooftop to rooftop. Resign to following Flynn if you need to. Stop when you see a guard. Tranq him and then climb over the banister with Flynn. It will be straightforward from here, leading into a cutscene. Yeah, I'm sure you saw that coming, right? Once you have control, you'll see the laser sights dancing around the room. Avoid potential gunfire from the guards by rolling with Circle. o----TREASURE - Antique Pipe--------------------------o |As soon as you have control after the scene, turn | |Drake around. Look for the security gate with three | |guards behind it. To the very left of this is a shelf| |with the statue face of a bear it seems. On the shelf| |is the treasure. | o-----------------------------------------------------o Look for the red lit passage and take this down. After you turn the corner, a gate will drop. Turn back, and another will drop, sealing you in. Look for an opening to the right of the first gate and you can drop down to a staircase. Take this to a window that leads to another room. Inside, look for the manhole and interact with it to leave this place. In the sewer, hurry down the tunnel into an open chamber. The guards will file in so just keep running and rolling to avoid their sights. o----TREASURE - Jeweled Bracelet--------------------------o |As soon as you enter this open chamber, turn left and hug| |the left wall. Climb over the pipes until you reach the | |last pipe on this side. On the other side of this pipe is| |where the treasure is lying. | o---------------------------------------------------------o Look for another tunnel in the corner and this will be a straight shot to a ledge with a ladder above it. Climb out for a scene and that will end the chapter. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ _____ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ |___ / | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | |_ \ | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < ___) | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |____/ [at03] -----------------------------\BORNEO/------------------------------------------ With Sully at your side, proceed through the swamp for a while. Keep your eye out for a blinking green light on a fallen tree. A quick scene and then you're off again. o----TREASURE - Yuan Dynasty Coin--------------------------o |From where you find the charges, look for a fallen tree to| |your left that takes you to an opening. Go inside here and| |you should see a tree with a sparkle on its top branch. | |Shoot the object down to claim the treasure. | o----------------------------------------------------------o Find Sully ahead and leave the water for dry land by climbing the ledges here. Proceed through the jungle passage to reach another swamp. Sully ducks into an opening on the left. Either follow him or stay to the right. There are two guards up the left path. You have two options for this sequence. You can continue on the stealth track you've been on and go for the quiet approach, which Sully advises. If you've been hungry for some Uncharted gunfights though, there is no harm in letting them see you. We're gonna try for stealth though. Wait for them to move and one to put his back up against the log. Approach him and take cover behind the log. Hit Square to pull him over and knock him out. Grab his AK-47. Now wait here for the other to return and he will pass by and put his back to you. Approach him and stealth melee him as well. o----TREASURE - Yuan Dynasty Jade Animal--------------------------o |As soon as you're done with the first two guys, look off to the | |right side of the swampy passage where the second guard was | |patrolling. There should be another tilted log making itself a | |ramp. Go inside here and the treasure sparkles from atop a | |barrel in the back. | o-----------------------------------------------------------------o Proceed down the swampy passage and you'll see two more guards up ahead. Carefully use the logs as cover and wait for an opening. Wait until they both go toward the back area where there is a log. Also be aware of the guy on the ledge above them. Approach he left guard and when the right guard is past him, melee him. Take cover behind the log and wait for them to move. The above guard will be able to spot you so wait. Wait until he moves and as soon as he does, rush the second guard where you are and stealth melee him. For the third, well you'll likely be spotted by that point so gunning may be inevitable Once you're clear, approach the back wall and use the ledges to the left to climb up. Turn around and jump to the swing-pole. Jump to the next ledge where the third guard was. Walk across the tree and look for the large boulder. Push this over by tapping Triangle and Sully can climb up. Drop down to where he is and then follow the sun-drenched path ahead of you. Take the next tree-bridge over and the next two guards will likely spot you. Use the AK to take them out fast, one on each side. Going for headshots will obviously make your work a lot easier. Once they're down, proceed up either side. Look for another one coming down and either shoot or melee him. Take cover at the top of the ledge overlooking the area below. There should be one more enemy. Bust a cap in his dome and then drop down. Look for the wall in the back and use the ledges to get to it. Climb up, but not over just yet. o----TREASURE - Jade Pel Pendant--------------------------o |This was a very sneaky one. Once you climb that wall in | |the back, instead of vaulting over, tilt the Left Analog | |Stick up and to the right and Drake should climb over. | |Follow this ledge, past two Fruit Loops mascots and to a | |spot you can climb up. Follow this path all the way and | |find a dead end with the treasure. | o---------------------------------------------------------o Go back and climb the wall and drop over the other side. Walk down this path for a scene. This part is fun. When you get control, approach the first guy with his back turned and stealth melee him. Use his desk as cover and wait for the next guy to come toward you. Stay to the left of the cover and wait, wait, wait... Hit Square when he gets close enough to pull him in and set him next to his buddy. A gunfight will be unavoidable after this. Start it off on the right foot though. See that red tank next to a guard ahead of you? A few bullets is all it takes to blow it up. After that, get the guy on the ledge to the right. Move up to the deck ahead of you and take cover amongst the crates. There's a Wes .44 here if you want to give it a spin. The next few enemies will be shooting at you from across the swamp. If you're lucky, they'll gather near another one of those red tanks. Shoot it up and you might get the Double Dyno-Mite medal. Sweet! No Trophy for that though. As you move across the swamp, more enemies appear. Take cover and shoot it out. If you grabbed the Wes, it only takes one shot, so pinpoint accuracy isn't as much of an issue. It's a short lived thrill though, so be sure to pick up your old pistol when you're done, or a new one soon. Use the AK after that. Once the coast is clear, you need to find the charges. If you look behind a large moss-covered tree, you can find the... Moss 12! A shotgun! Very sweet. Now, about those charges... They can be tough to find, even with those giveaway green blinking lights. Each of them are attached to the wooden decks that the fights broke out on in this area. The first one is attached to the wooden deck right on the water on the enemy's side. It's right under a red tank which will be burning if you blew it up (1/4). Turn around and the next one is on the wooden struts of the second deck (2/4). Go to the right to where you first entered this area and did the stealth takedowns. The third one is on the left side if you face the long wooden ramp (3/4). Climb over and go on the other side now to find the last one (4/4). Follow Sully to the area where you found the Moss. There is a ladder out of reach so get into position and give Sully a boost. Climb up when he drops the ladder down. Up here, you'll see their little camp set up. There's nothing of interest here though. Turn right, going away from it and proceed toward a waterfall for a scene. When it's over, you'll be down in the water, duking it out with the bad guys. It's actually a good thing, because you'll be given a look at how the hand-to-hand combat has improved. The game will walk you through this, just as it did in the original. You can now counter enemy moves by hitting Triangle, and follow it up with a finisher by hitting square. It's similar to the Brutal Combo. If you've been doing a fair amount of melee by this point, you might start getting Trophies for it. Repeating this is a little tough, but give it a try on the last guy. It will take some practice, don't worry. You'll get one more enemy to practice on, then Sully will let down a rope for you. Climb up. o----TREASURE - Amber Jade Tiger--------------------------o |Instead of following the hose, for now, go the other way.| |Turn right and jump a small gap past a waterfall. Follow | |this path for a few steps and look for the climbing | |stones on the left wall. Jump up and climb to the top | |stone. From here, jump to the wooden pole behind Drake. | |Swing and jump to the next one, and swing again to jump | |to the tree. Climb on top of this and carefully walk to | |the right. Jump to the platform across from you that goes| |up. Climb up these small ledges and find your treasure. | o---------------------------------------------------------o As Sully suggests, follow the large cobalt blue hose to reach your next destination. For now, it takes us into our next chapter. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ _ _ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ | || | | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | | || |_ | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < |__ _| \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_| [at04] -----------------------------\THE DIG/----------------------------------------- Follow the hose to another one of those pump things. Drop down the following ledge for a cutscene. After that, you'll start out behind cover. Wait for the guard ahead of you to get close, then hit Square like before to do the stealth grapple. Take his AK, and then proceed down the walkway. Take cover behind the crates the next sentry is leaning against. Use Square to get him too. Be sure to grab the .45 Defender off the crate too. The next guy will not move, so getting into a gunfight with him and the remaining sentry is inevitable most likely. Sully will help you out though. Once they're finished, approach the cabin for a scene. After that, you'll be walked through a grenade tutorial. The first one will be pretty much automatically set for you with limited control on your part. For the second one, you get to aim it more liberally. Look for the approaching three guards and try to land the grenade right on the walkway as they pass. If you manage to wipe out all three, you'll get the Triple Dyno-Mite award, which is good for a Bronze Trophy. You might not always get this set up though. What's really important about that tutorial is the new grenade throwing method in Uncharted 2, which is the first method the tutorial gives you. By holding L1 like you were to aim your gun and then hitting L2, you throw a grenade pretty much at the exact spot more or less where you're aiming. This is amazingly useful and I can't stress that enough. It not only is very accurate for grenade throwing, but it cuts out the time that the old "arc method" uses and therefore lets you do so without taking a lot of damage. Stay where you are as a few more approach from two sides. Use your pistol, then the AK when they get closer. You've also got a nice supply of grenades at your side so feel free to use some of them too. Sully will start taking some fire, but things get more intense on your end too. When afforded the opportunity, shoot the four guys that have Sully trapped on both sides with your pistol. You'll need to leave the cabin to get good shots on them and a pistol or grenades are recommended. After that, more of Lazarevic's men appear so return to the cabin and hold your ground inside. Be on the look out for shotgun guys. They like to get close, which is perfect if you're using cover, because you can stealth grapple them. The enemies will really start to pile up so use grenades, the AK and so n. They'll come at you from either entrance of the cabin. Eventually, Sully will be under siege again, this time by a gunner in that red tower in the corner. This should be the final wave of enemies after that so fight your way closer to the tower and then prep a grenade. Don't bother using the arc method. Hold L1 and just aim your reticle at the window and hit L2 to do the quick throw and that will do the trick. See how useful that is? That will save Sully's behind and also give you an exit route. Before that though... o----TREASURE - Mongol Paiza Passport--------------------------o |This was a tricky one so I must thank a helpful reader, Bokoto| |for this one as well. When all the fighting is over, walk into| |the center of the area to where the sunken ship is. There are | |two masts sticking up from it. When facing the ship from the | |cabin, the mast on the left is where the treasure is. Look up | |all the way at the crow's nest to the top. Shoot it down and | |it falls in the water beside the tree for you. | o--------------------------------------------------------------o Walk up the wooden log and join Sully. This jungle passage will just take you up several ledges, so climb your way through. It's very linear so this shouldn't be a problem. After the scene, go now with your crew of three and enter the cave. Look for a hole in the back to drop into. What a cheery place... Walk forward toward the dragon head statue on the ground. o----TREASURE - Jade Belt Slide--------------------------o |Facing the dragon head statue, look to the doorway on | |your left and look above it. There are two statues in | |the wall above the door. The one on the right has this | |on its arm. Shoot it down to claim it. | o--------------------------------------------------------o When you reach the large dragon head statue, there are two openings. The one on the left has nothing, so go through the one on the right. After a bunch of bats fly by, enter and turn left. On top of one of the barrels is a blue stone. Interact with it and Drake will recognize it... more resin! He decides to make a torch with it. Meet Drake, forensic investigator. As the resin torchlight reveals, there are bloodstains all over the place. They are illuminated on the floor by the resin and appear in white. Follow the trail back into that left room, the one that was empty. The stains end at a caved in wall. Interact with it to open the way. Follow this corridor into a large room. There isn't much to look at so just go straight ahead to an interesting sight. After the cutscene, Chloe will start off. Don't follow just yet though. o----TREASURE - Yuan Dynasty Helmet--------------------------o |As soon as the cutscene is over, look to the left and up at | |the ceiling. There should be a sparkling item wedged up | |there. Shoot it down and put your paws on that. | o------------------------------------------------------------o Now, follow Chloe all the way out, retracing your steps to the entrance and climbing out. You'll get a cutscene. Once you have control, start running, Forest! Hop over all the obstacles and jump the ledges to keep moving. You'll encounter an enemy along the way, so beat his ass up, then move on. A part of the cliff will fall away but Drake, as nimble as he is, grabs onto another ledge. Move around and climb up to get back to solid ground. Meet up with Sully and you'll have another jolly ol' cutscene. That ends the chapter. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ ____ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ | ___| | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | |___ \ | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < ___) | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |____/ [at05] -----------------------------\URBAN WARFARE/----------------------------------- What a way to start off this chapter! The running will be controlled by holding down on the Left Analog Stick, but try not to be blocked by objects. After that, just focus on aiming which is easy and shooting, also easy. Unload your AK at the truck until it empties. Switching over to the pistol, it should only be a few shots before the truck chasing you finally explodes. Move toward the street when you're ready and a scene starts. A few enemies enter the area, looking for you. Sit tight as a bus comes flying by on the right. This will distract the sentries. Run up to one and stealth melee him. Shoot the next two and that should be it. Grab their ammo and refill your AK. Approach the bus that drove by and try to sneak by, but it explodes. Can't go that way. Fall back a little and look for a green box, looks like a locker, with a yellow top. Climb onto this and then on the signs above it. While on the right side of the sign, reach out for the ladder. From the ladder, climb onto the light pole and then onto the broken sign above it. Reach out for the blue pipe along the adjacent building. Don't climb it though, just reach out for the bricks jutting from the building. Take these around the corner, then jump to the sign. Vault over to the other side by hitting X. Jump to the next one, vault over, and then shimmy around the inside corner here to at last reach the window. Inside, go out the right doorway and jump to the light pole. Use it to swing, then jump into the next building. The floor will collapse but Drake hangs on. Drop down anyway and enter the room below. Look for the blue crate in front of the bookcase and use it to climb up. You want to jump to the platform behind Drake, but getting the right angle with the Left Analog Stick can be tricky. Climb and then take the stairs up. The table will serve as a means to climb onto the next bookcase and out of here. A helicopter will get really close. Jump to the next building and stealth melee the guard. You can continue from here across buildings and such or drop down to street level to make it easier. Let's go down to street level, shall we? o----TREASURE - Strange Relic--------------------------o |When you drop down to street level, you'll see two | |guys run by. Look for the alley to the right. You | |should see an unmanned bike carriage. Well right | |behind that is an open manhole. Drop down here and you| |will find this in the corner. Yes, it has returned! | o------------------------------------------------------o If you want to take the vertical route still, climb back up to that sentry's spot using the blue drain pipe. It's not nearly as fast or easy as the ground route though. Follow the guards who ducked into that other alley and take cover near the opening. You can stealth grapple the one standing there and then proceed inside. You come to this exact same room through the vertical route so no worries. The door that takes you here on that route will be to your right as you enter. There's actually a table through that doorway that has a Wes .44 with eight bullets if you want to take it. Take cover in this room that's set in front of the next street and take a peek and see what you're up against. A few sentries, and more out of the line of sight. Slip in and take cover beside the counter. Go up to the first sentry and melee him. Go around the corner and take down the next one. You should still be unnoticed. If you can manage to get to these guys and stealth kill them, go for it, but a gunfight will eventually be unavoidable. Three of them tend to gather across from you, which is perfect for a grenade. After that, they will most likely still not know where you are, which might make isolating them for stealth takedowns easier if you'd like. Otherwise, open fire. Be sure to grab a FAL if you didn't get it earlier. The enemies will start piling in this area so use cover and be aware of your surroundings. Look for one sentry on the roof across from your area. When using the FAL, hit R3 to get a slightly zoomed in sight with a laser dot. This makes headshots a bit easier. One enemy you'll likely see creeping closer and closer to you is a guy with a Riot Shield and a Micro 9mm. You can easily knock him out if you stay behind cover and melee when he gets near. Otherwise, you'll have to shoot at his legs and whatever else is not protected by the shield. The shield is great if you still have that Wes. You can be more liberal in staying out of cover and take time lining up shots. When the Wes is done, grab a pistol or that Micro 9mm. Start shooting it out with the rest of the enemies, using cover. When you move far enough down the street though, reinforcements show up. Great... This is just a matter of survival, so do what you have to stay alive. Stay behind cover at all times and shoot it out with the enemies as you see fit, but try not to use all your bullets. Be on the look out for enemy grenades. After a while, a scene takes over and your "ass is saved". Before following Chloe, run all over the battlefield and restock your ammo, especially for the FAL. Find Chloe after that near a door, which happens to be locked. Go outside and climb the street sign. Swing from the top to the roof of the building ahead of you. Jump from there to the air conditioning units on the side of the next building. Use the protruding bricks to climb around the corner and pull yourself up to the next ledge. After spotting the hotel, jump to the platform to the right. At the end, you can jump straight up and grab the hanging bar. Swing from it to the next and climb them like monkey bars until you start swinging on the last one. Jump to the bricks in the corner and take this over a little. Jump from there to the next platform. Climb onto the dresser and take the wooden plank outside. Jump from the roof to a balcony. From here, jump to the yellow and blue sign. Drop down to the streetlight. Drop down immediately because the enemies appear at this moment. Try to toss a grenade at some of the approaching enemies to slow them down a bit. Run to the red door and shoot off the lock. Hit Triangle to kick it open for Chloe. Retreat just a little and take cover next to the blue bin. Chloe will be helpful here as the enemies pile in more. There will be more shield enemies, but a grenade works wonders against them. For the others, use the FAL and if any get close, grapple them from cover. A few enemies appear way in the distance. Use the FAL's scope by hitting R3 again and try to pick them off. One will be on the balcony but you need to stand where Chloe is to see him. Once the enemies are down, move toward the back. Stand underneath the green walkway and give Chloe a boost. Follow her up once the ladder is in reach. Take the fire escape up and enter the doorway with Chloe. In the kitchen, shoot the three orange wooden planks to enter the next room. Approach the burning debris in here and hold Triangle as Chloe passes through. Exit this building and the next chapter begins. __ ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ / / / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ / /_ | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | | '_ \ | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < | (_) | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ \___/ [at06] -----------------------------\DESPERATE TIMES/--------------------------------- Drop down to street level and you'll get another scene. Chloe's got a plan, but Drake has to take out the RPG-wielding enemy first, and he has to do it quietly. It's easier than you think though. There are a few enemies around, but this is not hard at all. From where you begin, use Circle to navigate from one piece of cover to another when the RPG guy on the truck isn't looking directly at you. When you get behind the truck, grapple the guy to the right first, then climb onto the truck and hang from the back. Grab the RPG dude and pull him over. This will cue Chloe for her explosive entrance. The enemies will start down the staircase. You can stay where you are, hanging from the truck and start shooting them with your pistol. It isn't the most effective, but it protects you fairly well. After you've knocked a few of them off, move in closer and restock your weapons. Try to clear the area in front of this temple building and keep it safe. Make use of your grenades for shield-users and trust the FAL and its scope. Things will start to get a bit tougher as the fight rolls along. Reinforcements will come from two different directions, forcing you to find a different spot for defense. You don't want to get flanked so back up until all the enemies are in front of you. Alternatively, a better spot is in the church building itself. Go inside (where you can find some ammo and more grenades) and take cover to the right, which overlooks the street where most of the reinforcements are. You can shoot most of them easily from here and drop grenades on them. Be sure to take out the gunner on the truck too. You can shoot him through a little space on the turret's armor. Beware of enemies coming up to fight you hand-to-hand. Consider jumping onto the truck and using the turret if you want. Once the enemies are gone, Chloe runs off to the next destination. Don't follow yet though. You can now do some exploring. o----TREASURE - Silver Dress Clasp--------------------------o |Approach the temple and look at the mural design above the | |door. In the center of it, you can barely notice a sparkle.| |Shoot the treasure down and it falls in front of the doors.| o-----------------------------------------------------------o And also... o----TREASURE - Brass Bird Lamp--------------------------o |With the fighting over and done with, look for one of | |those green locker-like metal boxes with the yellow roof| |in the center of the battlefield. It's right next to a | |street light. Climb up and all the way to the top of the| |street light, using the signs to get higher. You can put| |your mitts on the treasure up there. | o--------------------------------------------------------o With those in hand, follow Chloe up a ledge to an alley adjacent to the street. Boost her up to the fire escape walkway, then follow. At the top, vault over the front railing of the fire escape that faces the street light and the signs. Jump to the signs and vault over the orange and white one to shimmy onto the street light. From here, swing to the rooftop. o----TREASURE - Copper Rice Measure--------------------------o |Walk along the rooftop and go past the opening. Just keep | |going, following the roof until it finally takes you to the | |treasure, resting in front of a few windows. | o------------------------------------------------------------o Go along the roof and find the opening to hop inside. Wait for Chloe, then proceed forward. Two enemies come in, one wielding a shotgun. Use the nearby pillar for cover and take out the shotgun dude first. Blindfire will work fine here since he gets very close usually. After that, gun down his accomplice. Get inside the elevator for a scene. After that, go down the hall and into the left room. Pick up the 92FS to replace your .45 if you'd like. Walk out onto the very precarious ledge made by the collapsed stone pillar. Jump to the right to the flagpole and then go across here until one falls. Climb it like a pipe and then move over to the left to climb the wall. Finally, pull yourself up into the room. Shoot the wooden planks blocking your way. In the next room, climb onto the collapsed chunk of roof and jump to the bars overhead. Climb across and you'll have to swing from a few of them until finally, you reach the window ahead. There are four enemies inside and three of them will come to the window. They may come at the same time or individually. IF they come individually, you can pull them all out. If not, you'll have to settle for one and then shoot the others while you're hanging. Climb inside and grab any ammo you need. Go into the adjacent room. Downstairs you can find a Wes .44. Go upstairs until you see an opening on the left wall. Slip inside and around the corner should be two enemies. Feel free to melee them and practice the countering system. o----TREASURE - Yuan Dynasty Urn--------------------------o |Return to the stairwell and take it up one more flight. | |The stairs here are destroyed, so you can't go any | |further. They line you up perfectly though to jump to the| |white ledge on the elevator shaft. Do that and vault over| |the side to get in there. Drop down and you'll land on | |the elevator. The treasure should be at your feet. | o---------------------------------------------------------o Go back to where those two enemies were in the destroyed room with the rubble. There should be a dark tunnel to the left. Hop up the ledge and enter. On the other side, two enemies drop down from above. Shoot them down fast or shoot the propane tank they land near to make it easier. After that, go to the right. o----TREASURE - Enameled Snuff Bottle--------------------------o |After crossing that little bridge and dealing with the two | |enemies that drop down, go to the right. There will be a stone| |pillar sticking out but ignore it. Look for the railing and | |hop over it to reach the roof. Run along the roof, rounding | |the corner and at the end, look for the open suitcase with | |this inside. | o--------------------------------------------------------------o Climb onto the stone pillar and jump to the hanging bar. Shimmy on this inward as you get closer to the platform. Pull yourself up and then hop across until an enemy appears. Take cover fast and shoot him. Easy. Jump that gap, turn the corner, and you'll hear Chloe. Drop down to find the generator. Turn it back on and Chloe will join you above. Climb back up and boost her up to the ladder, you know the drill. Climb up and you'll be on the roof. Nice view, and an even nicer pool. Just for laughs, jump into the pool and listen to the dialogue. You'll also get two medals out of it. Schwing! Alright, dry yourself off, Michael Phelps. Go up the staircase and immediately jump over the banister. You'll land on the roof below. Take it to the right (Nate's left) a bit and look for the bricks and such jutting out from the wall. In case you're wondering, there's nothing around the corner on the roof. Climb up the building to the top. Wait for Chloe and a scene. Follow Chloe afterwards and interact near the zipline. Go through the next doorway and you'll see the bridge/tunnel is gone. Look on the left side of what's left and see the yellow protrusions. Climb up using this and begin to shimmy across on the yellow bar. Unfortunately, a helicopter appears, and he doesn't like Nathan Drake's ingenuity. Havoc ensues. Climb up when you can and take off running after Chloe. Jump each gap and keep running for dear life. The last platform almost collapses. Climb up and vault over it like it was a sign, then jump to the rooftop where Chloe is currently engaged with more enemies. Take cover and ignore the helicopter. It doesn't make things easier though. Use your AK or the FAL if you still happen to have it and gun down the enemies. Jump to the next rooftop when you can. Drop down to the next floor and run forward for an explosive surprise. Keep moving and take cover when more enemies appear. Rely on the AK and grenades here. After they're down, turn the corner and two more should appear. If any get close, you can always use blindfire which is more effective. Once they're down, ignore the elevator and jump down to the next floor. Here's where it gets even more exciting. Take cover in the back of the room (right from the stairs) and fire at the enemies. It shouldn't be too hard. At the same time, the helicopter will fire missiles at the building. Things are about to get very unbalanced in a second. Fight off the enemies that show up. Every so often, the building will start tilting and you and everyone else will lose balance. Strike at the enemies when you're able to and then watch as the building starts to lean towards the next. Everything in the room comes sliding forward and you as well. When you get near the end, jump. That was fun, wasn't it? Proceed through the doorway and take the stairs all the way up to a kitchen. Go out and look for a nearby rooftop to jump to. Do so and take cover. The enemies on the adjacent rooftop are very angry. How angry? They're firing grenade launchers at you. Pinpoint these enemies and take them out first. Look for a propane tank you can shoot to make the job easier. Once they're all cleared out, find the crank and tap Triangle to lower a bridge to that rooftop. Pick up the M32 Hammer grenade launcher. Schwing! Find more ammo for it nearby. It will only last you so long, but oh, it will be fun. Climb up to the next rooftop and there will be some enemies shooting up at you from below, to the left. Try out the Hammer, trying to land one between all of them. It doesn't have the same punch as a grenade so it's difficult sometimes to kill an enemy with one shot. o----TREASURE - Incense Burner--------------------------o |After the grenade launcher enemies, climb up to the | |next roof. There should be a small structure near you | |with a large water tank and air conditioner on top. | |Climb up here and the treasure should be there. | o-------------------------------------------------------o Drop down to that rooftop where the enemies were and the helicopter appears again. Oh boy... Run toward the end of the roof and that's as far as you can go. You have to take it down. Did you grab the grenade launcher? Well don't fret, little bear. If you didn't, there's one at the end of the rooftop. With it in hand, fire at the helicopter. It's very durable and it's tough to hit while it's moving. Also, an enemy or two might attack you so be prepared. It'll take a lot of shots, close to ten, but you should be able to bring down the whirly bird. After that, lower the bridge using the crank. Cross to the next building and drop down to the floor below. Look for the giant billboard and jump to it. Vault over it to the other side. See that rooftop? It looks like a bit of a drop, but you can make it. Jump to it, then the next roof just next to it. Find the zipline and hit Triangle for a scene. Ow, that hurt. When you have control, go around the corner where the helicopter wreckage is. Climb the blue pipe and the next few pipes after that to reach a ladder. From the ladder, reach for the sign. Drop down to the next sign and from there to the ground. Move forward for a scene. After catching up with an old friend, another helicopter swoops in. Can Drake go two-for-two? Eh, maybe better run this time... ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ _____ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ |___ | | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | / / | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < / / \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ /_/ [at07] -----------------------------\THEY'RE COMING WITH US/-------------------------- Head down the street with the others after the scene is over. Don't stray too far just yet. o----TREASURE - Worn Pendant--------------------------o |Look for a building with its wall blown wide open on | |your right and duck right inside. In the top left | |corner is a cardboard box with this on top. | o-----------------------------------------------------o Now for the enemies. If you wait too long, some of them might waltz by your teammates and that makes it a little annoying. Try to get up front with them and take cover. Use your AK and some grenades as well as nearby propane tanks to make life easier. Once they're all down, you're free to explore again. o----TREASURE - Nine Jewel Ring--------------------------o |Near the doors where your party is gathered there is a | |large fountain with a statue in the center. The statue | |has a bell on the side at the top and inside is the | |treasure. Shoot it down and it lands inside the water. | |Get your feet wet and grab it. | o--------------------------------------------------------o Gather with your team near the door and interact with it to continue. As you proceed down the stairs, you see the street is totally flooded. Any logical gamer knows there must always be another way, especially when it comes to Drake's situations. There was an adjacent staircase when you entered, so go back up and take it around. Only Chloe will follow you which is good, because you need her. Give her a boost up to the ladder. She'll push a crate down for you to climb up yourself. Your goal is to make a bridge to reach a ladder on the other side of the water. It's not clear at all how to do this, so the hint system might help you out. If you're reading this guide though, who needs the hint system! Look down at the water and from up here you should have a good vantage point of a propane tank wedged near the first car. Shoot it and the car will flow down to the wall. There's another car and you want to apply the same idea to it, but this one has no propane tank. Luckily, there's plenty of them up on the balcony (I guess the people were planning a lot of BBQs...). Take one and toss it down near the car. You will learn through an in-game prompt that you can shoot a propane tank automatically after throwing it by hitting R1. Do that and the car will make the other part of the necessary bridge. Follow Chloe back down and jump across the cars to reach the ladder. Everyone ahead goes up the stairs to the right. Don't follow just yet. There's a Moss 12 if you want it here. More importantly... o----TREASURE - Ankhora Water Vessel--------------------------o |From where you find the Moss (near the stairs where everybody| |runs up, look for the two lion-like statues. Jump over the | |banister near the farthest statue so that you land on a dry | |patch of land below. Right in the corner up against the wall | |is the treasure. To return, get in the water and let the | |current take you to the cars. | o-------------------------------------------------------------o Now follow them up the stairs and take cover immediately as bullets start raining down. It's suggested that you get in and take out that gun. Easier said than done. Spot the enemy on the high ledge to the left. Go over there and climb up to him. If you can pull him down, do it, otherwise, hang and shoot him. Climb up and you'll be to the side of the gunner and a lot more enemies. First, shoot the enemy on the balcony above you because he has a perfect shot at you. Once that's done, grab a propane tank and chuck it at the gaggle of enemies. Use the trick you just learned to blow it up immediately after throwing it by hitting R1. That should take out most of the enemies. If it was not accurate enough, throw the other and try again. If it's clear, run for the turret and use it to mow down the remaining enemies, including a large group at the bottom of the stairs attacking your friends. Once it's clear, they'll join you. Look for the blue pipe on the wall. Take this up to a blue window. Climb through and sidle alongside the billboard as some things take place below. Head through the next doorway and go down a couple flights of stairs. Go around the next corner and down a hallway to reach a courtyard. Your party will take a peek around, so you do the same. There's one thing of noteworthy interest. o----TREASURE - Silver Shiva Amulet--------------------------o |Look for another destroyed building on the left. In front of| |it is a small little blue cart next to a couple wicker bins.| |On top of the cart is this treasure. | o------------------------------------------------------------o When you're ready, ascend up the stairs for a scene. That was a quick chapter, eh? ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ ___ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ ( _ ) | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | / _ \ | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < | (_) | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ \___/ [at08] -----------------------------\THE CITY'S SECRET/------------------------------- Search the table left of the door ahead of you for some ammo and a bunch of grenades. The left hallway has nothing, and the right hallway, well... o----TREASURE - Bronze Altar Spoon--------------------------o |From the entrance, go to the right and enter this hallway. | |It looks like a dead-end but climb the back wall and at the | |top, you'll find this treasure. | o-----------------------------------------------------------o When you're ready, proceed into the next chamber. After some chit-chat, you'll be able to view Drake's journal! Yes, the journal that saved Drake's butt (and Sully's too) on a few occasions. This time, you can freely flip through all the pages. The pages titled "The Faces of Victor Sullivan" is worth a read. Anyway, give the page on the statue a good once over and then look for a way up. On the right side of the chamber is a broken pillar that's just a stump. Climb this and then jump to the wall where there is a pipe. Take this up and then pull yourself onto the right walkway. Walk toward the iron gate. Turn right and climb and swing from the bars to reach the opposite side. Jump the next gap and the walkway will collapse. Use it as a ramp to reach the corner platform. From here you can interact with the statue's first arm. Do so and you can see it will be in the correct position as in Drake's journal. Climb the bricks in the corner, then jump away from the wall to grab the pipe. Shimmy across this and then jump back to the wall. Drop down all the way until you grab a small ledge sticking out. At this position, you can mess with the next arm. Do so, and Drake ends up back at the bottom again. Go back to the collapsed pillar, then jump to the pipe again. This time however, go to the left. Climb up the three small protrusions here and then jump all the way to the left to barely make it. Here, you can mess with another of the statue's arms. This one is in the right position though, so don't. Instead, climb up the right wall and go to Drake's left, around the inside corner. Continue to shimmy to the left until you can drop down on a platform near the last arm. Mess around with this one and you'll solve the puzzle. What next? Well, take the small staircase on the side and step in front of the statue now for a quick scene. When Mr. Drake gets his light bulb, you should get yours. Climb up the front of the statue until you get a Triangle prompt. The water will be drained and a door will open. Hop down and join Chloe below. Enter the doorway after Chloe and proceed into this underground tunnel. It's very straightforward so just keep going. Down a flight of stairs, you'll come to a large pile of debris. Climb the stones in the debris to reach an opening where you can slip through. Follow the next corridor in as the water gets a little deeper. Proceed around the tree mural in the center and look for the two large statues in the back. Climb the right one to reach the high platform. Follow Chloe down this long corridor when suddenly, a trap door is sprung. Son of a... To make matters worse, a spike ceiling starts to collapse on you. First thing's first. Grab a grenade and look for the wall with the two gear wheels. Toss it at them to stop the ceiling and open the door. If that doesn't work, fire at the little spokes of the gears to stop them. o----TREASURE - Bronze Varaha Statue--------------------------o |After falling through the trap door and before or after | |stopping the spike ceiling, find this treasure. It should be | |right in front of Drake after the fall, beached up on a small| |piece of dirt and bones sticking up from the water. | o-------------------------------------------------------------o Before leaving, grab the MP40 in the corner. Uncharted 1 fans will remember this gun. They might also associate it with a memory of a certain... enemy. Gulp. They couldn't... be here... could they? Nahhhh. Follow the corridor to a staircase. It will take you to the other side of the sprung trap door. Proceed right to the large chamber. A very big device above will start moving. There are sun mirrors in the room as well. Another puzzle... Well, let's get started, Mr. Drake! ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ ___ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ / _ \ | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | | (_) | | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < \__. | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ / / [at09] /_/ -----------------------------\PATH OF LIGHT/----------------------------------- Drop down to the first sun mirror below. You can only move it up and down and that is with the Right Analog Stick. See that large... face on the far side of the room. Direct the light into the gem on its head. Well, that's a start. Head over to that face and you'll see it has a keyhole for the Phubra Dagger. Interact with it and a part of the larger dagger above will come down. Approach it and start climbing. When you can't go any further, swing over to the other side and keep going. When you reach the top, climb up one more ledge and you can see another part of the dagger stretching toward a large red-face statue. Walk along this carefully and then jump to the statue's eye. Climb over to its eyebrow and a part of it will weigh down. This opens another path of light and it makes a climbing path for later. Another part of the eyebrow lowers so you can shimmy out of here. Go around the corner and drop down. Go along this ledge, hugging the wall and passing underneath a shrine. Keep going until you reach a second shrine and stop before it. o----TREASURE - Copper Lakhe Mask--------------------------o |When you come to the second shrine after dropping down | |from the red-faced statue, go under the shrine and the | |treasure is on the other side. | o----------------------------------------------------------o Hang over the ledge here and you can see the green bricks that sprung out from earlier. Use these to safely get back down. Chloe will adjust the mirrors for you and the light will reach a mirror on your side. Walk over to it and start messing with it. You want to cast the light into the hole at the bottom of that giant caged lantern-like object next to the dagger. It will then redirect the light to another one of those statue faces on the right. Walk over to this and insert the key. This will lower another part of the dagger and will let you reach Chloe again by activating some platforms. Head back over there and drop down again. Approach the dagger and climb the right side of it. You'll have to jump back and forth between the two blades a little bit. Just keep hitting X to get further up. Eventually, you can climb up and find another piece of the dagger blade that serves as a very narrow walkway. This one doesn't let you reach your destination however. The blade partially collapses and poor Drake hangs on for dear life as always. The orb on this statue's head can't be reached, so how to open it? Whip out your gun and shoot it. Six bullets should be all it needs. The light floods in, the blade falls a little more, and Drake, yet again, manages to think fast. From the big lantern thing, jump to the platform where the next statue face is. From the statue face, walk left along the ledge and Chloe, the doll she is, will operate the mirror for you again. o----TREASURE - Carved Jade Figurine--------------------------o |The right wall between the mirror and the third statue face | |has a red pattern on it and a symbol in the center. Look for | |this wall specifically and trace your eyes up to the top. | |Right where the wall meets a ledge, the treasure is embedded.| |Shoot it down to grab it. | o-------------------------------------------------------------o Adjust the mirror on your side to cast the light inside that lantern thing. It is then reflected into the last statue face. Approach the statue face on this side and insert the key. The dagger complete, it impales the giant red statue on the floor. Its mouth opens, revealing a door. You ever wonder who would be so genius to think of this? The amount of man hours it would take to make these puzzles? Right, the guide... Another platform will take you to the entrance area. Take the stairs down to the red floor statue and find Chloe at the head. Drop down the mouth all the way to reach a secret chamber. o----TREASURE - Bronze Ganesh Statue--------------------------o |As soon as you drop down through the statue, look to your | |left. This treasure will be sitting on the floor behind one | |of the pillars, ripe for the picking. | o-------------------------------------------------------------o Approach the little altar with the round device in it. Interact by hitting Triangle to insert the key. It unlocks a nice cutscene. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ _ ___ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ / |/ _ \ | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | | | | | | | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < | | |_| | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_|\___/ [at10] -----------------------------\ONLY ONE WAY OUT/-------------------------------- Start climbing out of here. The camera angle is a little weird so tilt the Left Analog Stick down to climb up. When you can't go any further, move it around to shimmy to the other side of the shaft. Climb up from here and you'll see the room is being scoured by a few sentries. Find a place to hide somewhere on the left and try to stealth melee one of the guards. This plan won't likely play out all the way through so a gunfight will break out inevitably. Try to find the Wes .44 over here and grab it. Take cover behind the pillars here and shoot out the rest of the enemies. With the Wes, plant one well placed shot at the enemy at the top of the stairs with a laser sight. The enemies have FAL rifles, but you can hang onto that MP40 if you still got it, seeing as how you haven't gotten a chance to use it until now. Climb the top of the stairs and melee any enemies that come your way. Take the Dragon Sniper which was the weapon that emitted the laser sight. Get behind cover at the entrance to the corridor. If another enemy comes down, blindfire or melee him. Use the Dragon Sniper and its sight with R3 to snipe the enemies on the other side of the trap door. When that's done, feel free to grab your other weapon. Time to return from whence you came. Hang a left and go down the stairs. A sentry will try to ambush you but give him a taste of Drake's iron knuckles. Turn the next corner and take cover as two more enemies come up the stairs. Blast them both, then take cover at the bottom of the stairs. A few more enemies in the next chamber will attack. Stay behind cover and just use your Wes (if you still have it) or pistol, followed by your rifle. Grenades in this wide area can be tough if the enemies move around a lot so save them. Cut straight across when the last one falls and take the following corridor all the way to an opening. Proceed through and take cover here as more guards attack from down this corridor. The one to watch out for is the heavily armored sentry wielding the shotgun. The Wes is handy here if you still have it. Unload on him with your rifle otherwise. Grenades are effective in this narrow hall so feel free. You'll return to the room with the tree altar in the middle. Go around and a few more enemies will be waiting, including a guy with a Riot Shield. A grenade works well on this group. Take cover at the next corridor. The guys at the far end are good shots so try to move up from cover to cover to get a better shot for yourself. You can grab the Riot Shield and use that to charge forward and take them out. Charge forward and proceed up the stairs but watch out for a grenade. Either fall back or keep running. Watch out for a shotgun sentry at the top though. Take him down fast, then take cover and shoot the next foe. Turn the next corner and it'll be a straight shout out of this underground area. You return to the statue room, but more enemies are lying in wait, of course. Take cover behind the small stone and there is a Pistole on top. Grab it for now and give it a shot. It's like a handcannon of sorts. Fight off a few enemies, then climb out. From the first chamber, a heavily armored foe comes prowling. Stand near the doorway and while in cover, hit him with the Pistole a couple times. Hopefully, Chloe will help a little as well. After that, leave the temple and--surprise, surprise--more fighting will erupt outside. Take cover as always and spot your priority targets. In this fight, it will be the two snipers. One is in a window on the far side, and the other is just to your right. Use the FAL and its sight to take them both down, no sweat. For the rest, use the FAL or other rifle and mow them down, throwing in some grenades for good measure. When the dust has settled, approach that destroyed house which is now in the top right corner. A scene will start. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ _ _ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ / / | | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | | | | | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < | | | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_|_| [at11] -----------------------------\KEEP MOVING/------------------------------------- Drake, never one to abandon those in need, now has to carry Jeff with him for this sequence. It's not too different, it's just slower. You can only use your pistol with one hand as well. Proceed down the alley and fire a few rounds if you wish, but let Chloe and Elena handle it. Duck into the doorway on the left. Follow Chloe around and pick up some ammo along the way. Step out the next door and follow Chloe. Two enemies will attack from a balcony to the left but you shouldn't have to expend too much ammo on them. A larger enemy will attack Chloe up ahead so unload on him instead. After that, two more attack up the stairs. Grab more ammo as you go and keep trudging along. Take the alley down to a dead-end. Just then, a truck barrels through, impeding your path. Elena opens the doors to the left with some quick thinking. She tries to open the next gate but a friendly RPG shooter does it for her and somehow doesn't kill her in the process. Damn, she's still alive! Err, *ahem*.. Spot that RPG guy on the balcony and take him down with a few rounds. Go down the street where another truck appears. Elena suggests an alternate route so duck inside the nearby building and it leads to the adjacent street. Another truck and a whole swarm of enemies appear but Elena coaches you into the door on the right. Go inside and follow Chloe up the stairs. Keep going until a scene starts. Good stuff, right? Well, anyways, once you have control again, charge down the alley, running toward the camera very Crash Bandicoot style (Naughty Dog for the win!). Jump over obstacles and down ledges. After a turn, and some narrow escapes, you'll be intercepted by a truck and have to make a sudden left turn. Down this alley, Elena ducks behind a crate. Don't follow her. Look for a way to climb up the wall on the right and do so. At the top, hit the Triangle prompt that appears to get Elena up. Charge down the adjacent alley and you'll hit another scene and the end of this chapter. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ _ ____ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ / |___ \ | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | | | __) | | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < | |/ __/ \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_|_____| [at12] -----------------------------\A TRAIN TO CATCH/-------------------------------- Head out onto the balcony with Elena. There are several sentries below and you're unarmed of course which is a bad combination. Start by jumping to the sign to your left. Climb to the bigger sign next to it. Vault over to opposite side and jump to the top of the nearby building. Jump the small gap and stealth melee the sentry here to get his pistol. Now we're talking. If you're skilled (or lucky) enough, you can stealth melee the rest of these guys. You can start by dropping down and staying near the doorway below. Wait for the two sentries here to split up. One should come through the doorway, the other should go right, so get both of them silently. The other two will be in the far corner and should eventually both turn their back to you. It might be a lot tougher than that but a shoot out isn't the worst thing in the world. Grab a FAL from one of them so you have two guns, then wait for Elena to join you. o----TREASURE - Nepali Bronze Lion--------------------------o |Find the alley where some of the guards where patrolling. | |It's the alley right near the green and blue building in | |the corner. If you go inside, this treasure is on the | |ground in front of the large gate. | o-----------------------------------------------------------o To move on, find that building with the first sentry you took down. Take the ladder up to it and there is a fire escape here. Wait for Elena, then boost her up. Climb up when she drops the ladder for you. o----TREASURE - Yuan Dynasty Lotus Jar--------------------------o |After you boost Elena up, she drops the ladder for you. Climb | |up to get onto the fire escape. Instead of going to the right, | |go up the stairs in the back to get to the second floor of the | |fire escape. The treasure is in the back corner. | o---------------------------------------------------------------o Go back down and jump over the railing to the platform ahead. The next door is blocked by wooden planks on the other side, so of course, you have to find another way around first. Return to where you landed from the fire escape and look to the left. Jump to the blue sign and then navigate to the orange sign. Vault over to the other side and from here you should have a good view of the planks on the other side of the door. Shoot them off and get ready. Some more goons show up so vault over to the other side and use the sign as protection while you hang and shoot. For the guys on the right, there is a propane tank tucked behind a blue bin so try targeting that. For the others, just shoot or toss a grenade. Vault over to the opposite side again as more baddies show up behind you. One has a sniper so take him down first. A well placed grenade between the other two does the trick, as do a few well placed pistol shots. After that, another group shows up (do these guys have like stage cues or something?) so flip over to the other side again. Shoot the guys on your right (or left depending on which side of the sign you're on) and shoot them. You're not protected so drop down to another sign if you need to but it shouldn't be necessary if you're a good enough shot. Elena will drop down the bridge so jump to it from the sign. o----TREASURE - Cham Lion Mask--------------------------o |You probably saw this when you came to the door that | |was blocked. Don't leave it behind. Once you cross the | |bridge that Elena lays down for you, don't follow her. | |Go left instead and hop the gap back to that previously| |blocked door. On this side, if you search near the | |wall, the sparkling treasure will beckon you closer. | o-------------------------------------------------------o Follow Elena up the ladder for a scene. Elena will then take her own path so you head over to the zipline to the left of the water tower. Take it and you'll land amongst a bunch of the train cars, but not the ones you want. o----TREASURE - Jeweled Statue Crown--------------------------o |From where you land, follow the orange train car to a green | |one, as the space narrows and narrows. At the end, you'll | |find this. | o-------------------------------------------------------------o You want to enter the warehouse which is the building you're standing next to. The door is blocked by a cart, much like the one you and Flynn pushed, remember? Get in front of it and hit the Circle prompt. Push it until the path is clear and enter the warehouse. Make your way to the side of the car in here and climb the large boxes in the back. Use this to jump to the top of the car. Go left and jump to another train. Take this down to a yellow walkway. There will be a train car on your right. o----TREASURE - Three-Stone Coral Ring--------------------------o |When you get to the train car on the second floor turn away | |from it. Look for a red ledge on the wall and jump to it. | |Shimmy across and then jump up to reach some bars that Drake | |can take across and swing from to get to an air unit. The | |treasure waits on top. | o---------------------------------------------------------------o Return to that platform looking at the train car. Hang over the railing and jump to the next platform. This train can be entered, so hop in and find the lever at the front. After that fun little scene, you'll be under attack of course, after all that commotion. By some divine miracle however, there is now a Dragon Sniper, Pistole, and other goodies inside the train car. Grab the sniper and the Pistole. As the enemies creep closer, blast them with the Pistole. Use the sniper on the more distant enemies. Look for the laser sights of other snipers and make them your priority targets. More will appear as the fight goes on so consider saving the sniper exclusively for them if you want but it's not really necessary. More and more enemies appear so switch to the FAL if necessary which will help you with the snipers too when the Dragon Sniper is empty. Keep using the Pistole on the guys that get in close and use grenades on enemies that are clustered together. The enemies will toss grenades in too so move out of the way fast. Things go from bad to worse eventually. Just hold your ground until the cavalry arrives. A scene starts and you're whisked away to the next chapter. And boy, is it a doozy! ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ _ _____ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ / |___ / | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | | | |_ \ | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < | |___) | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_|____/ [at13] -----------------------------\LOCOMOTION/-------------------------------------- You can already tell this will be fun, right? From where you start, shimmy left along the train and you can see a ladder. You can take the ladder up if you want but try to look for the open window on the side of the train instead. Use the Left Analog Stick and X to vault over and get inside. o----TREASURE - Miniature Bronze Stupa--------------------------o |Another sneaky one I must thank reader Bokoto for tipping me | |about. As soon as you start, shimmy over and vault inside the | |window or drop down from the roof. This treasure is located in | |the FIRST train car where you begin. Go inside and you can find| |it in the back. | o---------------------------------------------------------------o When you're ready, jump down to the next section where there is a huge tank. Jump to the yellow pipe on this and take it to the right, around. When you can't go any farther, jump from the pipe up to a small ledge hanging over you. Jump from here to Drake's right. Drop down to another pipe now and shimmy over more. Repeat the last few steps again to get on the other side of the tank. Jump the gap to the next section. Climb over the large crates and you'll find a few guns a few steps further. Take the AK or fill up on ammo if you already have it. If you still have the Pistole from the end of last chapter, you can keep it for now and replace it when it runs out. Take the 92FS otherwise. Jump to the platform with the freight car and climb the ladder to get to the roof. There is an enemy in the center, so sneak up on him and stealth melee him. He's carrying and M4 and if you're fast or lucky enough, you can probably take it. It might fall loose and off the train though if you don't grab it in that very, very brief window. Don't worry if you can't get it though, because there's a stationary one in just a moment. Go to the end of this car and drop down. Jump the next gap to another open platform section with some crates and another sentry. Try to wait for him to either turn his back and stealth melee him, or get close to one of the cover spots and wait for him to get close on his return patrol to grapple him. Grab the M4 from him and more ammo off the crate near the end. Jump to the next car. If you're spotted, no problem. Shoot it out with the two guys by taking cover at the door. One has a Pistole and he'll get in close so melee him if you have to. Move down the car and a sentry will swing in from the window. Get in a fight with him and he'll probably try to counter you, so be ready to hit Triangle while you're hammering on the Square button. Proceed to the door and you'll discover that it's locked. You know what that means. Go through either of the windows by vaulting over the side. You'll be able to shimmy to a ladder on either side to take to the roof. o----TREASURE - Yama and Buffalo Statue--------------------------o |Once you have taken care of that surprise-attacking enemy and | |climbed to the roof of that train car, go to the back of the | |roof. The treasure is back here. It's between two of those metal| |platform things. | o----------------------------------------------------------------o Drop down to the next section. You'll have to navigate around the large crates but don't worry about falling off. There is a sentry leaning up against one, try to grapple him if you can. This makes the next car also easy if you do stealth. Otherwise, shoot it out and the rest of the enemies will start creeping out. You can use this to your advantage, staying behind the crate, and grappling each of them as they draw closer. You can also do a standard melee when they're near the edge and easily push them off. Jump to the next car and there is a turret gunner in the following car that shoots at you. Slowly move closer in between the turret bursts. When you get near the exit, you can see a few sentries in the next car too. Try to take them down, then wait for the turret to stop firing again before moving. Jump to that car, but take one of the ladders right to the side. Going straight in will be suicide. Climb to the roof, but be on the look out for a possible enemy behind you. Scurry across the roof and avoid the central roof window. It may break and if you fall in, you'll be right in front of the turret. Go to the end of the car and drop down here, where you'll be positioned behind the turret. Toss a grenade in there or shoot up the enemies. You can also grab a hold of the turret and shoot any other foes inside that car. Head over to the next train car, which is another freight one. Climb the ladder and make your way across. As you're moving, keep an eye out and listen for the train track warning sounds. The low hanging devices will knock you off to a quick end if you don't get out of the way. So when you see and hear them coming, drop down over the nearest edge of the train, whichever it is, and hang there as it passes by. On the next section, an enemy climbs up. Just sit by as he is knocked off by another one of the devices. Don't go any further just yet though. o----TREASURE - Newari Bronze Figures--------------------------o |This one I found totally by accident my second time through. | |The location can be a bit tricky. But this is inside the train| |car where one or two enemies climb up from the side. It's the | |train car after the freight one that carries coal I think. | |Hang over the edge and there is a narrow ledge below you can | |drop to. The doors in this car are wide open so go inside and | |look toward the back wall to find this treasure. | o--------------------------------------------------------------o Climb back up now to the top. When you reach the end of the next car, don't drop off the end because there's no platform below. Wait until you pass under the next device and then jump to reach the next section. Climb over the tank--the military kind--and you'll reach the other kind of tank, the fluid/gas containing kind. Shimmy on the yellow pipe. This time, you have to watch out for more signals, these ones on the side. When they're coming, you need to climb to one of the hanging ledges above. Keep moving until you reach the other side. Climb up and take cover next to the small ledge. Shoot it out with the three enemies here. The M4 works wonders so rely on that. Afterwards, hurry across and jump to the next car. Drake will fall through the roof and afterwards, a very noisy fly will appear. Yep... After the helicopter fires its missiles, run forward and climb your way out of this car. You'll jump to a platform with several stacks of lumber. Meanwhile, the chopper hovers ominously nearby. Run to the end of this section and jump to the next. The copter will probably open fire so take cover. Try not to move when it's firing. Move up a bit more afterwards and take cover behind the crates that form a backwards "L" shape. Stay here and immediately see if you can take out at least one of the enemies in front of you with your M4. Do not pop out from cover, even to shoot, when the chopper is firing. You can do it for a few seconds, but don't push your luck. Try to time your shots when the helicopter is not shooting. If an enemy rushes your cover, you can try to grapple him but you can easily take a lot of bullets in the process so blindfire might be better. Once the enemies are down, the helicopter will fire more missiles. Run to the end of this platform and jump to the next section of the train. There will be more train signals coming up so hang low to avoid them. Hang over the left side of the train which also shields you from the helicopter's bullets. Climb up when it's safe, then jump to the next platform below. Just run through this one and keep going until you get to the last platform leading to a large green freight container. The helicopter will hover above and in front of you, so take cover. Some more of Lezarivic's men will show up too. For the ones that get close, you can use the Pistole. Use the M4 otherwise and time your shots during the helicopter's downtime. Move up when you can and take cover right before the container. Patiently wait and shoot out the last two enemies, or toss a grenade in there. Afterwards, that ominous noise starts up again... Jump into the container. If you run to the far side, there is a valve, but the you'll be a sitting duck so forget it. Take cover instead right when you enter. Unless you're blind, you should see the RPG-7. Grab it and when the chopper stops firing, you should know what to do. Whether you hit it or miss, the chopper will be scared off. Go to the far end of the container now and turn the valve. Whoa, not scared enough it seems. Turn the valve open and escape the container. A scene starts up after that, landing you in the next chapter. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ _ _ _ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ / | || | | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | | | || |_ | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < | |__ _| \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_| |_| [at14] -----------------------------\TUNNEL VISION/----------------------------------- There's a Wes .44 ahead if you want to swap the Pistole for it. Consider if you want range or a little more ammo. Jump to the tanker platform ahead and climb onto the yellow pipe. Shimmy around to the end and then climb straight up to the platform on top, but don't pull yourself up yet. A heavily armored sentry will stroll by and stop, so pull him down. Climb up and then move forward into a small little area with some weapons. Grab the Dragon Sniper and plenty of ammo. The two guys ahead seem like prime targets, but try using a well placed grenade on them instead. Jump over and move forward once those guys are down. More of Lezaravic's men will appear down the way. Use the sniper and activate the scope with R3 as always. Getting a shot can be really tricky as the train goes around the bend but try to line it up and don't worry about headshots or anything like that. Jump to the next car and two enemies will ambush you. One will climb over from your right, and the other will appear at the far end. Try to snipe the farther one really fast with the rifle using normal view. Melee the other one. At the same time, watch out for more hanging train signals. They'll appear on the right or left in this tunnel so stay to one side of the train roof. o----TREASURE - Gilded Bodhisattva Statue--------------------------o |This is much like a treasure in the previous chapter in its hiding| |spot. When you jump the car where two enemies climb up the sides, | |and the train signals come into play, defeat the enemies first. | |Look over the side for a ledge to drop down to and hang over the | |edge and drop to it. Enter the opening in the car and find the | |sparkle of the treasure inside. | o------------------------------------------------------------------o Jump to the next car and the enemies below will spot you through the window. Sit tight and let them climb up after you. Try to melee one of them fast to knock him over the edge. Shoot the other, then keep moving. Run past the jeeps and jump to the passenger car. The door is locked so shoot off the padlock first. Once the doors are open, take cover and turn around as a sentry tries to sneak in from behind. After that, move up through this car toward the door. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Saddle Ring--------------------------o |Find this treasure at the end of the passenger car, to the | |left of the exit doors. This is the same car that you reach | |after running past the jeeps. | o------------------------------------------------------------o The door is locked unfortunately. Retreat and find the stack of crates. Climb these to get to the roof. The scenery has taken quite a change, huh? Oh wait, isn't the same place as in the begin-........... Anyways, jump to the next car where a lot of enemies are waiting for you. It may be in your best interest to drop down to the entrance and fight in there, instead of on the roof. The roof can be more dangerous because the cover isn't quite as good, and you are prone to being attacked from behind if the enemies climb out of the windows. However, you can give them a taste of their own medicine. You can climb out the windows freely to return to the roof, and you might end up losing a few of them, making it possible for a few stealth attacks. Fight your way through the car and then get to the next platform. A heavily armored enemy and one or two others will be waiting. Try to stay in the car and not on the roof and use cover there while you shoot them. There's a 92FS near the door which is a good choice over the Pistole because of the better range. Once you take out the armored guy, you can move up without too much worry. Deal with any other enemies at the end and approach the truck. Climb up and take cover against the windshield. A gatling gun enemy will appear farther ahead. Focus on the enemies closer to you first, then move up between the gatling gun's shots. You can't jump onto the large stack of lumber so don't bother. You can do something with it though. Aim for the large metal clips on top of the lumber, holding it together. Shoot both and there he goooooes! Jump to that platform afterwards. Yet another helicopter shows up. Son of a... Run for it and keep moving until you find a turret. Hop in and start using it. Now this sequence might be a little tricky at first. Despite the fact that the sights don't seem that great and the helicopter moves around a lot, you don't have to be super accurate here. Just keep the crosshairs following the copter and you should gradually damage it. The thing to watch out for here is when the helicopter releases more missiles, 5-6 at a time. Shoot each of them out of the sky immediately. Again, super accuracy isn't necessary here. Keep the crosshairs pinned on the helicopter and follow it as it bobs, weaves, and so forth. Always turn your attention to missiles when they are fired and you should be fine. Jump to the next car and take cover inside. There should only be one or maybe two enemies so take your time. After that, jump to the next car. That guy that has been making trouble for you is on here. Yeah the guy who looks like he belongs in a biker gang. This is like a mini-boss battle. The guy takes a lot of hits. Unload on him from cover with your M4. He'll eventually toss a grenade your way so run out of there and move up to a closer spot. Repeat the process until you can move up again and then charge him with melee. He'll counter you so be ready to hit Triangle when he tries to grapple you. Hit him back after that, but don't stop! That won't kill him, so take cover again immediately. Note that if you melee him near the exit of the car, you'll be thrown close to the edge. Turn around quickly and repeat the process. Focus on shooting him as much as you can but when you're forced closer, melee again. Keep this up until he loses his helmet, which is a sign this is almost over. At this point, he'll come to you and initiate a melee. Go with it like normal, pummeling him. He will counter not once, but twice in a row so be prepared. After that, mash Square a few more times as you mash in his face. That ends it and starts up a cutscene. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ _ ____ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ / | ___| | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | | |___ \ | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < | |___) | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_|____/ [at15] -----------------------------\TRAIN WRECKED/---------------------------------- Well, this seems awfully familiar, eh? You'll have to do most of the climbing portion of this again. A few parts will be skipped for you but it's nearly the exact same. Once you get on the cliff, the game takes over in a cutscene again. After that, it's time to truly begin. Run over and stealth melee the sentry in front of you. Take his M4. There's a FAL further ahead. You can go with that if you'd like but the M4 is a bit better. Go around the back, behind the FAL location and another enemy will appear. It really doesn't matter much if he sees you. Getting through this part with stealth is helpful but it's always up to you. There's a benefit to being patient with this guy though. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Prayer Wheel--------------------------o |The second enemy you should encounter, wearing the orange cap| |can help point you toward this treasure. Once he appears, | |hide and let him walk by. He'll stop at a spot in front of | |one of the wrecked train cars. The spot in the snow right in | |front of him has the treasure. | o-------------------------------------------------------------o On your right will be two more enemies in an open area between all the train cars. Kill them and grab some ammo. Reinforcements show up very shortly. Grab a propane tank nearby and wait for some of them. Throw it and detonate it to get things started. There's a Desert - 5 back here too on one of the crates. If you've been going stealthy thus far, keep it up. Once you've dealt with most of the reinforcements, climb onto the train near where you started, the one that the sentry was walking near. If you do, you should find an M32 Hammer up here. Schwing! Use this to easily mop up the remaining enemy forces. Climb into the train car that's stacked onto this one at the end. Use this for refuge as even more baddies show up! Rely on the hammer and stay behind cover because a lot of bullets will fly in. Once the hammer's used up, grab another M4 and go to work. It's easy to lose track of all the enemies because of the area layout, the snow, and other factors, so be aware of all your surroundings at all times. This will end with three armored dudes, all at once! That's triple trouble. If you still have the DE, that will work wonders against them. Otherwise, try grenades and the M4. Retreat as necessary so they don't flank you. Once the threat is over, you can look for more treasure. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Silver Vase--------------------------o |Begin by climbing up to that train car that's stacked on top| |of the other. This one has a lot of like metal debris | |stacked on top of it, see it? The treasure is hanging on top| |of one of these metal pieces on the side facing the wall. | |Shoot it down and it falls on top of the crate below. | o------------------------------------------------------------o One more. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Knife--------------------------o |Face the large tanker that should be on fire by now. | |Face it and follow the wall to the right. You'll come | |to the cliff and right there should be the treasure. | o------------------------------------------------------o Find the burning tanker and go to the ledges to the left of it. Climb these to escape. You'll get a scene. _ __ ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ / | / / / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ | |/ /_ | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | | | '_ \ | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < | | (_) | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_|\___/ [at16] -----------------------------\WHERE AM I?/------------------------------------- After the scene, follow your new friend out of his house and through the very nice village. For a quick laugh, approach the large bovine--which I'm told is a Yak, native to Tibet--and listen to the dialogue. o----TREASURE - Ram's Head Thogchag--------------------------o |Once you have control, walk around the house on your right. | |Walk past the bull and turn right again. Near the far corner| |of the house is the treasure. | o------------------------------------------------------------o Follow your friend as he opens the doors ahead to go to the next area. For another bit of amusement, kick the soccer ball back to the kids and listen to the dialogue for a moment. o----TREASURE - Bronze Buddha Statue--------------------------o |When you get a chance, climb up the buildings on your right | |in this stretch of the village. There should be a corner up | |here where there are two red doors and the treasure is here. | o-------------------------------------------------------------o Follow your friend for a bit more through the village. He'll stop at a house but don't go up there with him. o----TREASURE - Singing Bowl--------------------------o |Find this to the left of the house where the man | |stops at. It's in the shade of a tree to the left of | |the house, right behind the small blue stone wall. | o-----------------------------------------------------o With that in hand, go up the small steps with your friend and you'll get a cutscene. Yep, that's it. Chapter over. Man, was that hard or what? ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ _ _____ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ / |___ | | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | | | / / | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < | | / / \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_|/_/ [at17] -----------------------------\MOUNTAINEERING/---------------------------------- In the opening cutscene, Tenzin will try and pantomime some sort of warning to Drake. Oh lord, what is it, Yetis?! Well, whatever is inside, best be prepared. Follow Tenzin into the cave. Drop down the ledges to the left and follow him to a cliff. Tenzin finds a way across for you, so jump to the rope after him and swing to the opposite cliff. Climb down the ladder by standing near it and hitting circle. Drop from the ladder when you can't climb any further down. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Ritual Blade--------------------------o |As soon as you drop off the ladder, instead of following | |Tezin, turn around and go the opposite way. Right near the | |very edge of the cliff, on the right side is where this | |treasure sparkles. | o-------------------------------------------------------------o Go through the tunnel after Tenzin now. Approach that very, very narrow crevice, a claustrophobic's nightmare and slip through. Do it again on the other side. It's a good thing that thieving, gunfighting, mountain climbing, running and plundering all burn a lot of calories! Climb up a few small ledges with Tenzin to arrive at a cliff. Drop down to the area below and investigate the tent area for a quick scene. After that, climb back up to the cliff with Tenzin. He deploys another rope. Jump on after he's done with it. o----TREASURE - Clay Deity Head--------------------------o |As soon as you jump to the rope, do not jump after | |Tenzin. Instead, adjust your swing by using the Left | |Analog Stick. You're looking for a very small ledge to | |the right. You should see the sparkle on it. Try to get | |Drake swinging as straight-on as he can toward it and | |then jump. Climb up and take this weird looking thing. | o--------------------------------------------------------o After taking the treasure, drop down, climb up the first cliff again, and then jump to the rope yet again. Swing over to the opposite side in one go and go around this tunnel to find Tenzin again. Jump at the rope on the left wall as he does and swing on it, then jump to the next platform. Around the next corner, Tenzin will lead you across some very precarious platforms. They lead to a very big jump but you should make it. Climb up and follow Tenzin to the corpse up ahead. After a quick scene, go around the rock behind you to find a wall with a broken rope ladder. Hold Triangle to get Tenzin over. He offers to boost Drake up instead though so climb up there. From the end of this platform, it seems like there's nowhere to go. If you look very closely at the wall on Drake's right though, you should see some rocks jutting out enough to grab onto. Jump over here and you can begin by dropping down once, moving left, then dropping down again to a much lower ledge. Shimmy over for a while, then jump to the left. After shimmying and jumping to safety. Climb up the next snowy ledge. You should see the remains of a ruined tent or perhaps a flag or something. o----TREASURE - Bronze Chenrezig Statue--------------------------o |After the shimmying sequence, you jump to a ledge. Climb up the | |next snowy ledge and find a ruined tent. If you drop down to the| |other side of this platform, you can find this treasure amongst | |a bunch of dark rocks with only a little snow on them. | o----------------------------------------------------------------o From that ruined tent, climb up the rope on the wall. Once at the top, jump across two platforms. Shimmy on the last one and drop down a few ledges. From this platform, jump to the one next to you. You'll be on the other side of the collapsed bridge. Stand near the edge facing Tenzin and a button prompt appears. Drake tells Tenzin to pull an Elena and just like that, you're reunited. Wait for him to deploy the rope. After he's done, jump to it. This one for some reason, is a lot trickier. Try to time your jump right near the end of your forward swing but not too late either. It could take a few tries. After that, follow Tenzin around the corner and you'll come to a very unpretty scene. Aw, poor wolf doggies! Hmm, I have the feeling that having a lightsaber right now would be great.... Either that or if my name was Luke Skywalker... or both. Jump across the next several platforms as Tenzin follows. At the end, jump to the wall on the left and climb up using the stones. Pay close attention to the screen as you're climbing; you don't want to miss this. There's something in the foreground but you most likely won't notice it until... wait for it, wait for it....... HOLY LIVING HELL WHAT THE F*CK WAS THAT?! Ok, that was creepy. Afterwards, drop down to the little frozen tundra below. Venture to the left and the rocks will cave in and the return path will be blocked. Very comforting... You'll arrive at a small stream of water. o----TREASURE - Skull Cap Drum--------------------------o |As soon as you find the stream, follow it out to the | |end and stop. There will be a narrow path to the right.| |Take this to a small ledge where the treasure rests. | o-------------------------------------------------------o Go back to the start and climb the high ledge in the back. Jump to the next one and at the end, hang over the ledge so you can shimmy over. From here, try to reach the grooves above and take these up until you can jump to the left ledge. Jump to the next, larger platform. Go forward an then look for the platform with the ladder behind it on your left. o----TREASURE - Silver Needle Case--------------------------o |Jump to this platform with the ladder in front of it but do| |not go anywhere after that. Once you've landed safely, look| |for that sort of easy-to-miss sparkle in the snow to your | |left. | o-----------------------------------------------------------o Drop down here and you'll find a corpse with a gun. Guess he won't be needing this anymore. Given what you just saw a minute ago and now you find a corpse with a gun, if you're an Uncharted 1 fan you might have a feeling of d�j� vu here. And with good reason... Shoot the large icicles on your right. You'll get a scene. Holy shit! I was right, it was the Yeti! Err, I think...? Wait, what the hell is that?! This... thing will try to chase you around this area and melee you. Don't bother trying to melee it back because it will win every single time. Just run and gun as the game instructs you to do. Eventually, it will become rather difficult to hit this thing in this endless game of ring-around-the-rosy. At that point, let it get close and if it tries to melee, back away and get a few more shots. If it doesn't melee, it will grab Drake. While it's holding him, hit L1 to aim your gun and give it a few point blank shots to the face until it lets go. Run and gun again for a while and it should eventually grab you again automatically. This time, your gun is swatted away. Crap, it's a smart.... whatever it is. All seems lost until... cutscene! Drake's most pertinent question (and yours too), "What the hell was that thing?" will of course, go unanswered for now. Damn language barrier! Find Tenzin at the area where you shot the icicles to get back here. Now, back at the ladder, you can boost him up to climb it. He'll drop a dresser that was for some reason up there--lucky! Use that to reach the ladder. At the top, you need to do a few more jumps, including another somewhat big one. On the other side, you'll find another corpse and another gun. Bad omen, bad omen! o----TREASURE - Bronze Stupa Ornament--------------------------o |From where you find the corpse, go left along the narrow | |cliff's edge. You'll pass into a little cave. Jump to the | |ledge inside and you'll find this on top. | o--------------------------------------------------------------o From where Tenzin is standing, look for the rope on the left wall. It's attached to a crate on top. Shoot the crate and the rope will fall. Use this to swing along the wall and get to the other side. Climb up some ledges to reach a ladder, then climb a few more ledges. Walk up a few steps and jump to another rock with more ledges. Climb up then shimmy around to the left and drop down. Follow the staircase up to the entrance of... something. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ _ ___ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ / |( _ ) | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | | |/ _ \ | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < | | (_) | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_|\___/ [at18] -----------------------------\HEART OF ICE/------------------------------------ Tenzin will catch up to you in a second so keep moving. Enter the cave down below and it will take you to a very large chamber. You see a big statue in the background. Of course you need to get to it. Start by finding one of two switches on either the left or right from where you entered. It will take you down the same path, no matter what so it doesn't really matter. Tenzin automatically takes the right-hand path always. Go up the stairs and reach for the snowy rock ledges. Climb up to a bar which is actually a lever. It activates some weird statue faces that pop out of the wall and crumble to form ledges for climbing. Convenient, but dangerous. It's a timed mechanism so you need to climb and climb fast. Just look for the yellow lines along the ledges and it's easy to know where you need to shimmy or change position when climbing. At the top, shimmy over to the right for a while until you reach some bars. Swing from the second one and jump to the third one. Get close to the wall and drop down with Circle. Climb down from here. Follow this cliff until you reach two staircases. Take the staircase going down to reach a lever. Pull it and it lowers some large cylinder objects on Tenzin's side. Tenzin will return the favor; obviously this takes teamwork. Turn around and use the stairs to get back to the upper platform. You can jump to the objects from here. Climbing these things shouldn't be too tough. Jump to one of the many protruding ledges and let it rotate you around. Meanwhile, climb up and over to make it faster. Using the Left Analog Stick, try to Drake to lean back so you can jump behind him. Climb up and over, then jump again to the last one. o----TREASURE - Mandala Thogchag--------------------------o |When you jump to the third cylinder, you're in good | |position to nab this sneaky treasure. climb to the near | |top of the cylinder and notice the small wooden boards | |near the top that are parallel to the cylinder. The | |treasure is in embedded in the wooden board that faces | |the chasm. Let the cylinder spin you right under it and | |you get a prompt to grab it. | o---------------------------------------------------------o Repeat the climbing and jumping on the third cylinder and you should be able to get to the ledge behind you. Jump from the opening in the wall to a narrow stone beam. From there, leap to the wall it's pointed at and climb the ledges. Beware though as some of them will crumble so be quick. Jump to another stone beam and take this over to a giant gear. Climb onto this and shimmy over to make the trip faster. Drop down when you can. Another stone beam will point you toward another gear. Jump from the beam to a swing bar. Jump from this to land on the gear. Climb up until you can stand. On the following platform, notice the next gear-like device spinning next to you. Some of its spokes are missing though. Jump to the other side when that opening appears. Take another gear ride over to a few ledges. Jump from these to a beam. Drop down twice. On this cross-shaped beam you can spot Tenzin. On your side though, look for a swing bar to the left. Jump to it, and from there, to a gear. Look for an icy rope in the middle of the chamber. Jump to it and start swinging. o----TREASURE - Dipa Oil Lamp--------------------------o |This is a very sneaky one. When you jump to the ripe, | |you can see your destination as that sort of tilted | |stone platform. Well, a little bit to the right of | |that and closer to Drake is a ruined grey wall. On the| |left edge is a sparkle. How to get it? Simply swing | |on the rope until you get really near it and you can | |grab it with Triangle. Schwing! | o------------------------------------------------------o Adjust your angle so you can land on that sort of tilted stone platform a little to the right. You'll eventually land on a gear. Let it take you down, then drop safely. There's a few more gears here and it took me a while to figure out the way to go. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Flint Lighter--------------------------o |Step onto the first horizontal gear. Hang over it's edge and | |just hold on. It will take you under the platform and at the | |other side is the treasure on a small ledge. Grab it as you | |pass by. | o--------------------------------------------------------------o Now, go and approach the vertical gear. To the left is a beam and a column. Step onto the beam and turn around so you're facing the vertical gear's side. Just jump and Drake should latch on automatically. Take this up for a second and try to shimmy over to the platform when you reach it. Grab onto the gear again and take it up to the next platform. Jump to the exit and it will take you to another lever. A bunch of stuff happens, not-so-good stuff and it of course means more work for Drake. Facing the lever, go to the right. You should spy a ladder alongside the wall below you. Drop to it and climb it down. Follow the cliff along to a wall with a chain on it. Jump to it and swing to the beam on the far side. Take this over to a vertical gear. There are a few yellow ledges to grab and climb but you need to cross over the gear. It's easier than it looks. Just use the Left Analog Stick and guide Drake over the gear from the yellow ledges and then to the other side. Drop down to the level where the nearby bar is. Jump to it and swing. You want to align yourself with the next mechanism up ahead with the rising plates. Jump to it and grab one. Shimmy over to the adjacent side and you'll see more of these plates, some rising and some lowering. You can transfer from one to the other in the brief moment they are aligned, so move over to the left. Make sure you get up high enough first though, so take a rising plate up for a while. After that, slide over to a descending plate and then when you see the platform on your left, jump to it. Find the beam on the left and jump from there to a rope. Jump straight off to the ledges on the wall directly ahead. Climb down these until you can get right next to the gear and just ease onto it. Take it down until you fall off. Jump the next gap and you'll be on the other side of the gear. There will also be a few more gears above you. Climb the other side of the vertical gear and let it take you up. o----TREASURE - Bronze Dorje--------------------------o |When you ride the vertical gear that gets very very | |close to an adjacent vertical gear, do not move. Just| |ride the first gear up until Drake can walk. Look for| |a beam you can climb onto on your right. Do so, and | |take it over to the right. Look for more beams ahead | |of you and try to jump to them. Make your way across | |to a snowy platform in the far corner with this | |treasure waiting. | o-----------------------------------------------------o To make it back from that treasure, jump the beams and return to the vertical gear. Run against its movement until Drake hangs, then tap Circle repeatedly to drop down until you are in position to shimmy from this gear to the other gear where the two meet. When you reach the top, quickly get your bearings and climb onto the horizontal gear. From the opposite end of this gear, jump to a swing bar, and jump from there to a ledge. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Ceremonial Axe--------------------------o |As soon as you jump from the gear and then from the swing bar, | |you land on a ledge. Take this ledge not around, but in, toward| |the alcove on Drake's right. Go inside, jump a small gap and | |Shimmy further inside to the statue. Climb up and shoot out the| |statue's right eye. The treasure drops. What's an axe doing in | |a statue's eye? | o---------------------------------------------------------------o Shimmy around and take the snowy steps down to a switch. A bunch of columns rise up from the water. Go down the steps and jump to the closest one. From there jump to the swing bar/lever and then to the next one. Swing again to the next column. From there, jump to the center platform where Tenzin is. When everything is done moving, follow Tenzin across the platforms. Be quick because they will eventually sink back into the water. Cross all the way to the platform that takes you right to the base of the statue. o----TREASURE - Trigram Thogchag--------------------------o |Once you get to the other side and have made it to the | |base of the statue, aim a gun waaaaay up at the statue's | |head. You should see the sparkle up there. It's quite a | |shot but if you center the targeting reticle for the P08 | |right around it, you should knock it down. | o---------------------------------------------------------o Go down the stairs on the other side and you'll get a scene. Oh boy, more Nazis. Uncharted 1 fans will remember what happened last time we found those guys. Instead of fighting the war, they were looking for treasure, huh? But anyway, back to that Nazis = bad omen thing. Yeah, it is... Grab an MP40 off one of these guys and then go up the stairs. Find the switch in the back wall and pull it. That brings in the weird horned yeti-things, of course. Oh, of course! These things can't be killed, even with the MP40, so just use it to stall them. They'll climb along the walls so try to watch both of them. They'll climb up to some really large boulders and throw them so be ready to run and dodge. When they get in close, shoot and retreat. The elevator platform should drop down in a moment so jump to it when Drake notices it. When it's rising, one of the things decides he wants to come along for the ride. Unfortunately, this elevator has a weight limit of 400lbs. Sorry, buddy. When he grabs onto Drake, begging for another chance, shoot him in the face until he eventually falls. After the cutscene, it's on to the next chapter. Hopefully it's warmer... ._. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ _ ___ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ / |/ _ \ | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | | | (_) | | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < | |\__. | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_| / / [at19] /_/ -----------------------------\SIEGE/------------------------------------------- Go ahead and take the Crossbow off the table. ...........CROSSBOW?! Yes, its ammo capacity is very limited but it packs a punch. Unfortunately, it's not worth tugging around for too long. Step outside now and you'll see a few of Lazarevic's men. Try out the crossbow. There is an enemy on the balcony ahead, and more downhill. You can grab a few more arrows if the villagers drop them but it still won't give the crossbow great longevity. Switch to one of the enemy's rifles. The M4 should be amongst them. Fight your way down the hill and back into the village. Look for a spot to climb up to the left when you can and charge up there, ignoring the enemies for now. You should be to the side of a turret gunner's perch where a lot of enemies are hanging out. Shake them up with a grenade, trying to land it behind the gunner. Shoot the rest of the enemies and get on that turret. Now, very quickly, whip the turret around and shoot all enemies. They attack from a lot of sides so when you're facing one side, they will shoot you easily from another. More and more will come so just keep shooting at wherever they appear from. o----TREASURE - Amber Skull Bead--------------------------o |The building right across from the turret has this on the| |second floor. It might be in your best interest to get | |this after taking out the enemies around the turret. Go | |over and climb up. The treasure is in front of a bunch of| |pillows and hay. Look for an RPG-7 nearby too. | o---------------------------------------------------------o Before you leave, try to find the DE or Desert - 5 as the game calls it. It can be hard amongst the giant pile of guns that likely accumulated around the turret. Take that and something like the M4 and get going. Go up the stairs and into the next area where an RPG'er tries to shake you up. Take cover and try to use the DE and get one good shot on him. If he shoots another round, note that the blast will likely knock you out of cover. Use your M4 for the other enemies. When the armored dude shows up, empty the DE on him. Charge up the stairs where these guys came from and pass through the doorway ahead. An enemy might flank you from behind after tossing a grenade into your path so be ready. Fight your way to the house. Inside, another sentry will be waiting. Deal with him, then take the ladder up to the second floor. Melee the guy up here and climb the next ladder. Out on the roof, another large scale gunfight will break out. Jump to the adjacent roof and help Tenzin and some of the villagers fight it out. There are sentries all over. Some are on the other roof, others are below on the side of the building, including an armored guy. Gun them all down and use grenades if you have to. o----TREASURE - Antique Ghau--------------------------o |To find this, from where you climb out onto the roof | |with Tenzin, jump off to the left. You'll be faced | |with some enemies and you should be standing near a | |small stone monument and a tree. The treasure is on | |the ground near the tree. | o-----------------------------------------------------o When you're done, notice the open blue trap door on the roof. Drop through the hole and inside this house you'll find a really nice weapon. It's the GAU - 19, a portable (sort of...) gatling gun. Schwing! It's really heavy so you can't run or climb with it. It also makes a really weird and awkward camera angle when you use it so you need to get used to that. It drops enemies like dominoes though. Go through the next building and gun down enemies. One will have the M32 Hammer if that is more appealing than the new toy. Nearby, a lot of Lazarevic's guys will attack from below, on rooftops and on the street. If you use up most of the GAU's ammo, I'd grab the Hammer if you still can. o----TREASURE - Bell Thogchag--------------------------o |After you leave that building and encounter the sentry| |with the grenade launcher, go left onto the rooftop | |and look for a small staircase leading to a nook under| |a lot of blue colored wooden boards. The treasure is | |located there. | o------------------------------------------------------o Drop down to street level and a lot more guys appear out of nowhere. They're heavily armed so take cover and act fast. The Hammer will make this very easy, as will the GAU if you still have it. Just make sure the one guy with the shotgun doesn't get too close. After you take them all down, follow Tenzin through the next house and up the ladder inside. You'll get another scene and jump, quite literally, into the next chapter. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ ____ ___ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ |___ \ / _ \ | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | __) | | | | | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < / __/| |_| | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_____|\___/ [at20] -----------------------------\CAT AND MOUSE/----------------------------------- From bad to worse. Take cover and shoot out the first two enemies you see. The tank will eventually start to get closer so follow Tenzin up the path and to the building. Duck and cover until he gets it open. Run inside, grab what you need, then jump over the banister. Follow Tenzin up the stairs, shooting enemies as you go. Three will appear at once, one with a laser sight so take them out fast. A well placed shot from the Hammer, if you still have it, solves everything. o----TREASURE - Yak Horn Carving-----------------------o |After jumping down from the banister, and following | |Tenzin, you come to a series of higher platforms where| |three enemies look down on you. Defeat them and then | |look for the treasure to the right before the first | |platform you need to climb. It's leaning up against a | |stack of vertical wood planks. | o------------------------------------------------------o In the next open area, there will be a few more enemies. Shoot them until the tank arrives, then scurry over to the right and then forward. If you lose Tenzin, look for him to go to the staircase in the top right. Follow him up to a bridge. Try to cross but the guy driving the tank says "nuh-uh!" Follow Tenzin after that. Enter the building and climb the ladder. Take cover at the doorway upstairs and kill the enemy on the other side. Jump to there, and from there to the next building as the tank opens fire. Melee the enemy inside and grab the M4 ammo nearby. Find Tenzin near the debris blocking the door and mash Triangle to help him with that. Jump to the wall and vault over it. Jump again to reach the other side. The tank will make a flashy entrance. Once you have control, take off running again. o----TREASURE - Bronze Tsongkhapa Statue--------------------------o |Right after the tank busts through the wall, follow the path and | |look for a small alcove on your left between the walls. It's easy| |to spot and it should be right before the enemies appear. | o-----------------------------------------------------------------o Don't bother meleeing these guys, you'll lose too much health as the others shoot you. Gun them all down and move forward. Go down the alley but make a right because the tank will appear at the end. A few more enemies will ambush you so shoot and punch. The tank will be waiting so go around it to the right. Drop down to a cliff and follow this around. You'll have to sidle along a narrow ledge until the tank gives Drake a scare. Shimmy over and then climb up. Turn the corner now. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Trumpet--------------------------o |As soon as you turn the corner after the tank almost | |goes over the cliff (and over Drake's head), there will | |be two rooftop platforms. The second one has a flag on | |it. Drop down into the lower space between here and the | |treasure is on the ground. | o--------------------------------------------------------o Run across these rooftops to the courtyard and the tank shows up yet again! Adjust the camera and start running. Look for the staircase on the left and run up there. You'll find Tenzin, finally. An explosion goes off inside the next house and three of Lazarevic's men file in. Use the M4 on them and then go through the left door to get outside. Turn around and climb the ladder to the rooftop where an enemy is holding an RPG. Finally. Beat his brains out and grab it. I'll take that... Find the tank below you and fire the only round at it. Damn, not enough. Turn your attention to the enemies on the nearby rooftops. Try to take them out with one DE shot each if you have it. Otherwise, it will take effort and you might be better off ignoring most of them. Reason is, you're not really safe up here. Besides the enemies, the tank's main gun can hurt you even if you use cover. Look to the roof of the house on your left. It should have two enemies. One has another RPG. Gun them down first and then run over there. Enter the building and unload like Rambo onto these guys. Out the back door, you'll find a guy with a laser sight. Shoot him and take the stairs to the roof to claim the RPG. Without haste, aim and fire at the tank. Still not enough. o----TREASURE - Gilt Tara Statue--------------------------o |Here's one that took me a while to find. The roof of the | |second building has two levels to it. The second level | |has a blue trap door. Run past this and jump to the | |platform right after it. Right here should be a hole in | |the ground. Drop down it to a hidden ledge where this | |treasure rests. As you can see, you can also climb up | |here from behind the building on ground level. | o---------------------------------------------------------o Look for the next RPG guy who will appear on somewhat distant rooftop over to the left. Try shooting him first so he won't impede you on your way to that building. Run across the rooftops, jumping gaps until you find a narrow alley with a ladder in it. Climb this, turn around, jump to the roof and take the RPG. Use it immediately and... still nothing! A bunch of sentries appear on the building opposite you. Use the FAL and its sight to gun them down, but again, you need to beware the tank's main gun. Back away from the edge of the roof to be safe. Once they're all down, walk to the left side of the roof and interact with the zipline. It'll take you to the other building. Grab an RPG inside and use it immediately. That should do the trick. Helicopters, tanks... I think we all know who the main protagonist of the next Metal Gear Solid game is going to be... ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ ____ _ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ |___ \/ | | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | __) | | | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < / __/| | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_____|_| [at21] -----------------------------\CONVOY/------------------------------------------ Start off by pulling the guy above you over the side if you can. If not, climb up and shoot or punch him out. During this sequence, you'll have a lot of guys gunning at you from a lot of moving vehicles so aiming can be a little bit trickier. A truck eventually gets in front of this one and the one you're on starts to smoke. Bad. Shoot the guys ahead of you and jump to that next truck (try to jump from the hood rather than the roof of the cab) and jump to that truck. Suddenly, a ton more vehicles show up. Take your aim and gun the sentries down one by one. The current truck will catch fire too so jump to the one on the left. Look for the jeeps with the turret gunners. You only need to take out the driver to take care of them. Jump to the next truck when the old one catches fire too. The path will eventually split and your truck will go up a hill and of course... catch on fire (where's Smokey the Bear when you need him? Oh wait, no forests...) There should be a truck below you though on the right side. Jump to that one and you'll take control of a mounted grenade launcher turret Schwing! Fire this at the jeeps chasing you. Elena will show up in her truck with some guys harassing her. Focus immediately on the big truck because it will run her off the road fast. Note that the grenade launcher can be fired pretty quickly so unload on it until it blows up. Focus on the jeeps after that. More jeeps and another truck will appear so keep shooting, Tex. Elena will pull up alongside you in a moment as your truck catches fire. Jump to hers and you'll get a scene. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ ____ ____ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ |___ \|___ \ | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | __) | __) | | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < / __/ / __/ \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_____|_____| [at22] -----------------------------\THE MONASTERY/----------------------------------- Climb up the cliff and then sidle along the wall. Next, climb up to the ledge below the sentry and pull him down. Pull yourself up and take cover behind the crates to the right. Wait for the next guy to stroll down, then grapple him from cover. He has no gun, but take his grenade. Move over to the left and search behind one of the trucks to the left for a crossbow. See how far stealth takes you and then when the bullets start flying, use the crossbow and then try to grab another gun. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Silver Earring--------------------------o |Once all the enemies are laying face first in the snow, look | |for that really large gateway to the left of all the trucks. | |There is a small ledge at the top and underneath it is the | |tell-tale sparkle of a treasure. Shoot it down. | o---------------------------------------------------------------o Go up the stairs once you're ready to proceed. You'll come to a little fortress or whatever and there will be a large enemy patrol lurking about. You can do most of this thing in stealth, and possibly all of the first part but I haven't found the correct route just yet if so. We will try to get as far as we can though before unloading bullets. Begin by going to the right of the big red doors. One sentry will eventually lean up against the wall just next to you. Get close to the corner and grapple him when the next sentry after him starts walking away. For him, hang over the edge of the cliff and shimmy over. You'll have to jump a small gap but you can make it to his perch. Wait for him to return from the fire and then grab him. That's two... o----TREASURE - Ritual Crown--------------------------o |Just below this guy's perch and a little to the right| |is a red wooden pole sticking out of the cliff. Drop | |down to just above it (you shouldn't need to hang | |from the pole itself) and you can reach it. | o-----------------------------------------------------o Now straight up from him there might be a sentry leaning up against a part of the wall. You can see him with his back turned. Sometimes he's there and sometimes he's standing nearby. If he's not leaning up against the wall, don't bother. If he is, climb up and take cover beside the wall. Watch the two patrolling guards in the back, the one with the mask and the one with the helmet. Wait until they're looking away, then grapple the guy in front of you. You can also get the guy around the next wall the same way (when the other two are not looking) who is standing in front of a fire, but you need to retreat fast. Go back to the cliff where we got the second guy and hang over the edge. Shimmy over the rest of the way and look for the red bricks on the wall. Use these to climb up to the wooden platform where the next guy is. When you grab onto it, he'll come over to you so grab him and pull him down. See ya. Pull yourself up and enter the building from here. Inside, you'll find some goodies, including the SAS 12 on the right. Schwing! Yes! This is the gun that singlehandedly saved my hide in Crushing Mode in the original Uncharted. From here, the way to go for stealth isn't too clear so just let the bullets fly if you haven't already. The SAS 12 is nice but it won't help terribly much at this exact moment, but it's really good against the armored guy. Wipe out all the enemies here, then approach the bridge with Elena. There's a turret but it will soon be occupied. Great... Find the cart on the bridge and push it toward the end. It'll serve as your cover. Stay away from the left side of the cart so you can avoid the turret fire. You can either wait here and shoot it out with the enemies on the right, or better yet, jump to the them first. Jump to the platform on the right and you can find an SAS 12 here. Now it has a good use. A few enemies should come down the stairs in good enough range so let them have it. Use this on the armored guy too but be careful. Try to lure him down the stairs. If he stays up there, try to use a pistol if the SAS 12 can't hit him. Reason is, if you go up the stairs and try to take cover at the column or just shoot him head on, number one, you have to deal with the armored guy's gun and number two, the turret will fill you full of holes. Take the armored guy out from down the stairs first. Go up and to the left, grabbing whatever you want. Inside the next area, there are a few more enemies, including one with a Pistole so watch out. Gun them all down then make a left to reach the turret. Elena will try to cross now so get on the gun and shoot at all the enemies that appear. Make your first targets the DE guys with the laser sights since they can pick you off very fast. After them, mow down the normal enemies and focus finally on the armored guys. You might take a lot of damage but try to eliminate most of the normal enemies first and it should be ok. o----TREASURE - Silver Official Seal--------------------------o |To the left of the front of the building (where the turret) | |is positioned is a gap in the wall that overlooks the river. | |To the left of the gap, the wall kinda has two levels of | |height to it if you understand. Try to climb the wall here | |(if Drake just falls off you need to go more to the left) | |and hang over the opposite end where there are red ledges to | |use. Shimmy and climb over these to where a sparkle is. Get | |to it and grab it. | o-------------------------------------------------------------o Once Elena is with you, enter the building again and look for the two cranks on the far wall. Operate yours by tapping Triangle and Elena will take the other. On the other side, there's a large chasm in your way. There's a narrow beam below you that can make it to the other side though. From where you enter, go left and look for the red bricks along the wall. Climb down these, using only the Left Analog Stick to guide Drake's movements and not hitting X. When you reach the bottom of one section, jump to the adjacent wall and climb the rest of the way down. Drop down when you can and then make your way to the rope for Elena. Cross the beam now and then jump from the following platform to another wall with fissures and ledges to grab. Climb up to the left a little and then jump to the next platform. Look for the Triangle prompt to get Elena up there with you. After that, go to the far side of the big statue here and hit Circle to start pushing it with Elena. Climb it as Elena does and follow her. Sidle along the wall on the red wooden walkway and take it up to a rope. You'll get a quick scene at the top. After that, follow Elena, jumping over the broken bridge, and stop there. o----TREASURE - Silver Offering Pot--------------------------o |The broken bridge has one lower platform when you jump the | |gap. Drop down here and on the lower right wall there is a | |red ledge. Drop down and shimmy to a little hidden shelf | |underneath until you can reach that shining object. | o------------------------------------------------------------o From the end of the broken bridge, go left and up the stairs, going around the corner. Take this to the very top and approach the doors here for a scene. Start by finding the white pillar with red bricks on it, located a bit to the right. Hang over the far ledge and shimmy to the column and climb the bricks. Walk over the wooden beam at the top and get as close to the next beam as you can. It's hanging over the center of the platform. Jump to it, and take this forward until you can jump to the ledge above the door. The path from here is fairly easy to navigate. Just climb the stones to the left, around the corner, up, and back to the right. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Turquoise Ring--------------------------o |As soon as you take the climbing stones around the corner, look| |for a little roof or awning below. Jump to this and either take| |the red boards to the left down or drop down to the ledge below| |from the awning itself. Look back up underneath the awning and | |there is a sparkle. Shoot it down and claim your reward. | o---------------------------------------------------------------o Climb your way back to the stone path on the building. Jump to the next stone and from there to the wooden platform. When you get here, climb straight up, using the red bricks. Reach for the red wooden bars. Climb across and swing from these until you reach a platform. Stealth melee the guard here and find the crate with the grenade on it. Go past this and turn to the left. You should have a view of a platform and a column. On the platform a guard will walk back and forth around the pillar. Jump to the pillar and you can grab onto a ledge and then shimmy onto a beam. Wait for the chance to drop and then stealth melee this guy. Try to do it when he is on the side that was initially facing Drake before you jumped because this avoids any attention. Watch the guard on the following platform. He will walk to the left in a moment and turn his back on you. Walk across the white beam now and melee him from behind. Take his DE. From here, stealth is really difficult and again, I'm not sure if there's a perfect route or not but it's hard to find. Try to jump to the platform across and below from this one, or you can vault over the window the helmeted guy stood at and take out the guys here. Either way, fight your way down to the next floor and find the ladder. Below, a lot more guys will try to get you, so toss a grenade down there. Grab the SAS 12 outside the door to engage any at close range. Drop down now and a quick scene occurs. After that, take cover and quickly grab the Dragon Sniper. Make the guy on the highest ledge, wielding the RPG your first target. The rest of the enemies will quickly scurry toward you. Try to aim a grenade perfectly for the shield guy, landing it a few steps in front of him. Look for the laser sight of a DE guy on a distant ledge and snipe him. Watch out for incoming grenades and slowly but surely, knock more and more of these guys off. Try to save some sniper bullets and/or DE bullets for the two armored guys who appear near the end. Otherwise, rely on the M4. Move up once it's clear and look for a few more of Lazarevic's men to appear when you near the doorway. One will be on the ledge to your left so kill him fast. Enter and take cover inside. Use blindfire on the enemies here because it's simple. Try to pick off a shotgun-wielding sentry on the walkway above you. o----TREASURE - Carved Wooden Ghura--------------------------o |Look for the corner of this room where the wall is totally | |blown out. Hang over the edge here and you'll see climbing | |stones below you. Take these all the way down to where it | |meets the bridge. The treasure is there for the taking. | |Another tricky one that eluded me for some time. | o------------------------------------------------------------o That walkway has a ladder near the edge right above the doorway. When the snipers show up, that's your cue to get in position to boost Elena up. Do so and she'll appear and once she drops the ladder, follow her. Climb up here and take cover. Grab some ammo and a grenade. Jump to the next platform to the left and there will be another guy. Melee him, then walk outside. Look for some white bricks to climb on the wall. Take these up to a platform with two more guys, stealth melee one and beat the other's brains out. Climb the next ladder and there will be a beam you can take all the way across the chasm. Unfortunately, you're just perfect bait for the snipers if you do that. Find the outside walkway and climb the red bricks. Jump over a small gap in the wall and climb all the way up to a platform with--what else?--a Dragon Sniper. Take it and take cover. You have bigger problems than the snipers though. Find the location of the RPG'er and snipe him first. There are four towers in the distance and he should be on the second one from the right. That tower collapses. Find the snipers in the windows of the other three. Try not to stick your head out too long while you're trying to line up the shot. A few seconds too long and they'll hone in on you. When nearly all of them are down, a large group of Lazarevic's men will proceed across the bridge. Get the laser sight guys first. You'll probably need more ammo so find more Dragon Sniper bullets around this platform. Restock when necessary. The enemies will come to the beam and gather there. Some will try to cross which makes them sitting ducks. Using the Dragon Sniper, just pick them off one by one. You might take some damage so just wait to recover. Meanwhile, see if any dumb enemies try to cross the beam and then pick them off. Be patient but also aggressive and eventually the onslaught will end. o----TREASURE - Bronze Tiger Bell--------------------------o |Maybe the sneakiest treasure in the game. Drop down to the| |bottom of the building and look for a really big gap that | |leads from a walkway on your side to a broken bridge on | |the other side. It's a very tough jump but if you shade | |yourself to the right and let yourself fall off the edge | |for just a very, very brief second or two before hitting | |X, that will give you the extra distance you need to make | |it. It will take some tries, sure. Focus on almost | |intentionally walking off the edge for that brief second | |and then hitting X and that is the way to make it across. | |Once you do, drop down two ledges in the back of this | |large rock. Turn around and face the second ladder, then | |look to the right and you should see the sparkle. | o----------------------------------------------------------o Drop down now and go across the beam. Begin to cross the bridge with Elena. It will begin to collapse (boy does Drake have bad luck with bridges or what?). While holding on for dear life, shimmy to the left side and climb up. Parts will continue to fall off. Climb up to a horizontal beam and climb this. Jump to the one on the right and then up from there. One board of the bridge will tilt. Shimmy to the left and then climb up a few boards and shift back over to the right to get all the way up. Go through the doors and up the stairs. Go into the courtyard and the sentries will spot you. Take cover and start shooting. If you still have a Dragon Sniper it will be handy here for a while. Pick off all the targets easy with normal range or the scope range. Go to the left, past Elena and climb up these ledges. You'll find a guy with a Hammer so kill him fast. There will be a bunch more laser sight dudes on the rooftops, so snipe or shoot each of them. Grab the hammer and use it to rain hell on the enemies that appear below. Once it's used up, grab an M4 and finish them off. Join Elena near the door with the yellow cranks. Operate one and you can get inside. Go down the stairs to find a walkway above you. Boost Elena up and then she'll drop a crate down for Drake to use so he can climb the wooden bars. Get over to the larger wooden beams and shimmy over. Wait for Elena to move the wooden plank so you can shimmy onto that and over to the ledge. Follow Elena by climbing the next wall. In the next room, shoot it out with the enemies inside. Get a grenade on that shield guy, then use the DE or M4 to pick off the rest. Watch out for grenades coming your way too. There's also a DE wielder on the walkway above and to the left. Kill him and then take the ammo. o----TREASURE - Antique Bronze Lion--------------------------o |Pass through the doorway at the far end of the room. When | |you turn right, you should see a very tall cabinet of sorts | |propped up against the wall. Climb this and then use it to | |climb onto the wall and pull yourself up. Look to the right | |and above the window sill is a sparkle. Shoot it down and | |then jump to the window to grab the treasure. | o------------------------------------------------------------o Proceed out the far door. Turn left and approach the door. Hit Triangle for a scene. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ ____ _____ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ |___ \|___ / | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | __) | |_ \ | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < / __/ ___) | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_____|____/ [at23] -----------------------------\REUNION/----------------------------------------- Take cover immediately and watch the enemy movement. Some of Lazarevic's men will probably try to come at you from the right, so toss a grenade over there, then gun them down. A DE guy will appear on the left so shoot him and grab the ammo in a moment. Use your DE on the armored guy or soften him up and then try to melee him but watch for counters. Find the stairs and go up but look out for the RPG'er and the shotgun guy. The former might be worth taking out before you go up the stairs. Once you get there though, take the RPG and try to take out that large group--or at least some of it-- appearing on the opposite walkway. Use the DE and M4 to tack the rest of them off. More guys will appear on the walkway and below, including one or two more armored foes so save your DE ammo. Elena will follow so proceed through the only open doorway on the second floor walkway. Melee the enemy that gets in your way and you'll come out on another side of the walkway. Take the stairs here and go toward the red doors for a scene. After that, go toward the wooden beam and cross this. Jump to the next platform and cross another beam. From here, you can see a rope in the center. Jump to it. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Ritual Vase--------------------------o |When you get on the rope, you should probably swing pretty | |close to the corner pillar. You might see the treasure | |prompt appear. Swing close to this pillar and you can grab | |it. | o------------------------------------------------------------o Adjust your swinging angle and try to land on the wooden platform on the right. Cross the wooden beam and you'll be able to get outside. Jump to the rooftop. Two enemies appear from the doorway ahead. Wait for one to go over to the left and then stealth melee him. The other will turn around eventually so get him too. Go through the doorway and find the large opening in the wall. Drop down a few times to reach the walkway. Go down the stairs and climb the ladder ahead of you. Pry the guard off of his perch at the top. Don't enter the doorway. Climb the white bricks on the left. Jump to the ledge above the doorway, shimmy over and then jump again to another narrow ledge. Take this around the corner to some bars. Swing to the platform on the other side. Jump to the gold/green rooftop and take this around to the right. Climb the platform here and you'll see Lazarevic's men going trigger happy on something. But what? I think we know.... Drop down to the previous rooftop and from there you can safely drop down to the ground below. Look for the patrolling sentries and try to stealth attack them one by one. Grab the M32 Hammer in the center of the area if you want. Proceed up the two staircases in the back. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Conch Horn--------------------------o |Once you've climbed up the two staircases, turn around | |immediately. To your right (if you turned around) is a | |platform with some crates. Walk toward the very end of this| |and you should be overlooking the courtyard. A little to | |your left should be another platform. Jump over here and | |sift through the snow in the corner behind the pillar for | |the treasure. | o-----------------------------------------------------------o At the top of the stairs, enter an alley. Turn right at the end and use the crank to get inside the gateway. This next part will be a little tough. Drop down and go forward. Find the ladder and go through the opening next to it. There are a ton of guys hiding, but only the gatling gun enemies are visible. Don't bother trying to stealth them; it won't work. Make your way to the top right corner from where you entered and find the RPG up here. Use the Hammer first if you brought it to try and widdle the enemies down, focusing on the gatling gun dudes and the other armored foes. Switch to the RPG. There is also a door underneath here with a room with a GAU - 19, as well as more GAU guns on the platform near the top of the stairs, so there's plenty of firepower to go around. o----TREASURE - Bronze Oil Lamp--------------------------o |Return to the start and climb the green ladder. At the | |top here, stand at the far top left corner and then look| |at the first red column on the right side. You should | |have an angle at the sparkling treasure on this column. | |Shoot it down, then walk over to the platform where the | |column is and take it. | o--------------------------------------------------------o Take out the guys on the roof and then when it's clear at last, find a way to the window above the stairs. You can return to that ladder, take it up, jump to the red bricks and then from there, jump to the platform in the corner and make it. You'll enter a room with a ton of debris all over the place. o----TREASURE - Ancient Sword Guard--------------------------o |Look up at the ceiling in the debris-filled room and you | |should see yet another sparkling gem up top. Shoot it down | |and wrap your fingers around that. | o------------------------------------------------------------o Make your way through this building, up the stairs and outside to the roof. Climb the stones and then jump to the red ledge under the windows. Shimmy on this and you'll see some of Lezarevic's men below. Shimmy around to a platform after that. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Coral Earring--------------------------o |Right after Nate hangs precariously over a whole horde of | |Lazarevic's men, you come to a platform. There is another | |platform below this one so vault over the side and drop down. | |The previous platform hangs over the one down here and so if | |you look up at the floor of that higher platform, you should | |see this. Shoot it down. | o--------------------------------------------------------------o Climb back up and then keep moving and get to the red overhead bars. Swing to the last one and then shimmy from it to the window to climb up. Hang over the other side and jump to the platform. Climb up the dressers and you'll be near two rooftops and there should be stones on the wall next to you that you can climb up. Not so fast there, speed racer! o----TREASURE - Tibetan Square Ghau--------------------------o |Once you climb up from the dressers, face the wall with all | |the white stones you need to climb. Face that and go to the | |right, along the rooftop. Hang over the right side of this | |rooftop and shimmy toward the corner where you can see a | |small statue in the wall with a sparkle. Get close enough | |until you put your hands on the treasure. | o------------------------------------------------------------o Climb up the stones and pull yourself up to get inside the tower and also get a scene. After that, it's puzzle solving time again. Notice the murals on each of the walls. Flip through Drake's journal, going right until you find the pages with the mural drawings. As Drake deduces, each is associated with a color. On one wall there are four bronze objects on the ground. If you take them and place one each on a round plate in front of each mural, you can solve the puzzle. The question though is, which one goes where? Flip to the previous page before the drawings and you'll see the shapes that correspond to the objects and which element they are. The murals each have elements too. Here's how it goes: Bowl - Air - Tiger Triangle - Fire - Bird Sphere - Water - Snake Cube - Earth - Lion So place the correct objects in front of the murals. You're not done yet though. This merely opens up compartments below each mural with some round devices that Drake can spin by hand. They each have certain symbols on them and you need to get the right ones facing front. Again the question is which? If you go back to that page in the journal that had the shapes in them, you also see colored symbols above that. Four of the symbols match the colors of the elements of the murals. So go to the mural, match the element with the color, and spin them as necessary. Tiger - Green Bird - Red Snake - White Lion - Gold So for each mural, find the symbol that matches the correct colored one in the journal. The starting placement of each is random I think so there's no exact turning measures. I might be wrong though so I'll check again another time. Something rises up in the center when you get it right. Interact by sticking the dagger in there and then climb up to the revealed entrance. From the rooftop, go over to the right and stand near the edge to use the zipline. You'll see some of your pals jumping by. Great... Jump the gap and go left up the stairs. Jump another gap and then stop. o----TREASURE - Carved Bone Ornament--------------------------o |After you jump the gap in the stairs, turn around and look up| |at the ceiling. There is a hanging lantern and the treasure | |flashes from underneath. Shoot it down, jump back across and | |put your hands on it. | o-------------------------------------------------------------o Go out and try to take out the guards, either by stealth or gunfire. Either way, things will get messy soon. If you wait, one guard will lean up against the wall, good for a grapple move. The other can be taken out the same way if you move up to the cover spot on the left. From here, climb the ladder in the corner and nab the RPG guy. Take his RPG and use it to get the armored guy below. Things will get a bit messy from here. A lot of enemies and a turret will dot your path. The cover here isn't perfect so try to use the DE or the M4 (don't use the SAS here) to get the enemies out of your way fast so you can move up. Don't fire when the turret is. Move over to the far left side and you can find some better cover here next to the big wooden platforms. More enemies appear on these platforms so gun them down. Climb up there when the coast is clear and flank the turret gunner. Punch his lights out and that will do it. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Hair Ornament--------------------------o |The route you took to flank the turret gunner had a small | |canopy roof held by some columns. Well, right next to that | |roof is a beheaded statue with a wing-like backside. The | |treasure shines from the top. Shoot it down and it falls on | |the statue's missing-head area. The statue has stones to climb| |so use them, then vault over the wing to get within reach of | |the treasure. | o--------------------------------------------------------------o With that in hand, return to join Elena near the secret entrance. Investigate it and then interact with the crank controls. This opens the real secret entrance a ways away. Use the zipline that Elena finds. From where you land, jump to a platform with a ladder below. Take that ladder down and take cover here. A few enemies will walk down the stairs. One of them has a Riot Shield. A well placed grenade is the best medication here. Use the Riot Shield if you want and make the next few enemies easier. When you get up the stairs, there are more of Lazarevic's men who like to show off by rappelling down the wall. Use the M4 or SAS on them. Wait for the armored guy to get close and use a combination of the SAS and DE on him. Finish off the rest of them. o----TREASURE - Tibetan Mala Beads--------------------------o |After you have defeated Lazarevic's men in this area, find | |the wall across from the ladder you dropped from initially.| |Face this wall and follow it to the left. Behind a pillar | |in the corner is where you'll find this sneaky treasure. | o-----------------------------------------------------------o Find the spot in the corner where the rappelled down and climb the rope. Charge down the stairs toward the entrance with Elena. A lot of corpses... yeah, not a good sign. Down the stairs, turn and take either adjacent staircase down further. Approach the door and wait for Elena, then open it with her. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ ____ _ _ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ |___ \| || | | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | __) | || |_ | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < / __/|__ _| \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_____| |_| [at24] -----------------------------\THE ROAD TO SHAMBHALA/--------------------------- Well here we are at last. Take a look around and see if you can figure out how to move on. o----TREASURE - Bronze Garuda--------------------------o |Right in this first room is the treasure. Look high up| |on the wall, just slightly right and you should see it| |sparkling. Shoot it down like always to take it. | o------------------------------------------------------o If you can't figure it out, then just do this. Look for the three dagger ornaments on the wall. Two are positioned with the blade pointing up. Get close and hit Triangle to turn them down. This will do it. Approach the sphere and interact to start a fairly intense cutscene. Once you get control again, go down along the cliff and jump to the platform. o----TREASURE - Toad Censar--------------------------o |As soon as you jump to this first platform, look to | |your left. There is a little area here where the | |treasure can be taken. | o----------------------------------------------------o From here, look for the ridges along the wall and jump to them. Drop down a few times, then shimmy around the corner. Jump to the platform and wait for Flynn so you can boost him up. He'll drop a stone for you to climb. Follow him and jump the next gap with some help. Go up the arm of this statue and then climb onto the ledge on the left. Look for a small cave to the left up here. Enter and pass through the crevice. At the other end, there is debris from another statue. Try to push it, but it won't work. Wait for Flynn to lend a hand and do it together. Drop over the edge and drop down to the lower ridge. Take this to the right, drop, then sidle along this narrow ledge. You'll come to a stone cart. Get on the right side of it and push it with Flynn's help. Climb up and use it to reach the ledges here. Climb up and shimmy over all the way around these skull statues. When you reach the very end on the adjacent side, angle Drake's body so he jumps to the ledge behind him. Take this platform across and look for another to the left. Jump here and then to the large staircase. o----TREASURE - Eight Emblems Pendant--------------------------o |After jumping off that platform and jumping to the large | |staircase, stop. Look to the left of the staircase and you'll | |see the treasure. Simply jump over to that ledge and take it. | o--------------------------------------------------------------o Go up the stairs and through the next door. Another puzzle awaits you. The idea behind this one isn't too different than the latter half of the last puzzle. You'll see the symbols on the large cylinders on the left and right. Flip through the journal to the last pages and you'll see the six symbols that you need to line up. Note that the ones on the left correspond to the symbols on the right page and vice versa. Start by climbing the platform on the left (right page). Leave the left cylinder alone as it is correct. Spin the center one counterclockwise once. Spin the right one counterclockwise twice. Now, head over to the other side. The ones on the left and right are both correct so you only need to fiddle with the center one here. Turn it counterclockwise once and that should do it. Operate the large crank like before and you'll get a scene. Then you-know-what decides to show up. Armored and ready, repeat your tactics from way before. Run and gun with these things. Flynn might block your way both running and while you're aiming so it's just something you have to deal with. There's three of them so watch for when one climbs out and another drops in from a different angle so you don't get taken by surprise. If one tackles you, look for the button prompts and hit them to escape. Just keep it up for a while and you'll get a scene. A little surprised? Well it's not quite what you might immediately think. You will learn a little more after the next cutscene. ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ ____ ____ / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ |___ \| ___| | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | __) |___ \ | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < / __/ ___) | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_____|____/ [at25] -----------------------------\BROKEN PARADISE/--------------------------------- Things have gone crazy, again. You're unarmed but not out of luck just yet. Run forward and jump the gap. You'll be taking fire from different directions. You can attempt to hide behind walls but it doesn't do a whole lot of good, especially since you can't assume a cover position. Keep going forward, up the cliff and over gaps until you find the sunny area. Jump here and a short scene starts. Grab the M4 and try shooting it out with the enemies here but it won't matter too much. After the platform crashes, jump to the dark platform ahead, then from there to the next one. Pick up the AK-47 ahead and move forward for a scene. Pick up more ammo after that. In this little courtyard area, walk to the area with all the columns and a lot of debris. You should get a scene. Yeah, they're back... Do as Drake says and just keep shooting. These things are not invincible, as you saw earlier, they just take a hell lot of bullets. This part is tough because they carry crossbows that fire arrows rapidly and they can kill you in one go. What you need to do is watch them at all times and make sure they do not ambush you from a certain angle because one burst from that crossbow and it's lights out. Start with your AK-47 and go out into the open. Lure one down to you and just run-and-gun like you have done. He'll get close and try to melee so just keep running. When he tackles you, hit the prompts to escape. Keep this up and you should eventually take down one of the bastards. Take his crossbow and now you're in business. Carefully aim at the second guy and it should only take two arrows to kill it. A third one shows up with a resin type weapon. Use the bow or your AK on him. Once that's over, go back to that area with the columns and climb onto the ramp on the debris. Reach the first column by grabbing the gold ledge and then jump to the platform from there. o----TREASURE - Phurba Thogchag--------------------------o |This is located in that "top" section where the columns | |and debris are. Climb up as indicated just above and | |as soon as you get to the platform, examine the statues | |along the wall, the ones that look like figures leaning | |or pushing themselves against the wall. The one that is | |hanging just above the edge of the platform has a shiny | |new treasure on it. Shoot it down and grab it. | o--------------------------------------------------------o Now that you're up here, jump to the next platform and from there to the hanging cane-shaped column. Climb up on this and get over to the center platform. Jump from there to the area where the third enemy appeared. Climb through and you'll find a bunch of resin on some tree roots or something. Shoot the resin to open a path. Move down now and you'll find more. o----TREASURE - Clay Yamantaka Head--------------------------o |Right in front of the second group of resin-covered roots, | |there is a tree branch with this sparkling above. Shoot it | |down to claim it. | o------------------------------------------------------------o Ignore the resin ahead of you and turn right. Shoot this resin instead to enter the next room. Jump to the stones near the rope, then to the rope itself from there. Climb the next stones all the way to the top, then jump to the bar behind Drake. Look through the roots on the wall and you'll see more resin sap. Shoot it to clear the way, then swing and jump through. Stand near the opening on the left wall inside this room. Look across to a window with more roots. Look for the resin in between and shoot it. This opens up the doorway below. Go through and up the stairs to reach a wide open area. o----TREASURE - Gold-leaf Statue Head--------------------------o |From where you enter, go to the far right toward a cliff that | |overlooks basically a gigantic expanse of land and you can see| |everything in the background. From here, turn right toward | |the edge of the cliff and some debris. The sparkling treasure | |should be here. | o--------------------------------------------------------------o Make your way toward the center structure and look for an opening inside. There should be a crank here. Try to operate it but Chloe notices company coming. The human kind this time. Get out of there and find a spot to hide while you survey the enemies. Try to stealth melee as many as you can before the bullets start flying. If you still got the crossbow, use it until you run out of arrows. Grab an M4 after that. The biggest immediate threat is the gatling gun dude. Try to take him down as fast as possible. If you can grab his GAU, then great, as it will help with the rest, but watch out for the RPG and laser sight enemies in the corner. Take them down fast too. Use the GAU if you can to mow down the rest. After that, the creatures show up again. Use the RPG if you can to soften them up, then the GAU. If necessary, the SAS 12 will also save your skin against them. Once you're finished with that, return to the crank. Try to operate it but it's still a no go. You need to find the other counterweight. Above the staircase leading back here there are some stones on the wall. Climb these and then shimmy onto the weight and the ledge here. Go all the way across to reach the chain. After getting through the door, drop down into the water and take it down. There are a lot of armored foes up ahead. The crossbow is a good start, while it lasts. Use the M4 for the rest. There's a guy with a Hammer on the bridge above. Go up there and take him out, and grab another Hammer nearby. Continue down this canal, where more laser sight and armored enemies attack. The Hammer will help here for most of them. There's also a Dragon Sniper on one of the high ledges if you jump from platform to platform. o----TREASURE - Fibula Thogchag--------------------------o |This one can be a little tricky at first to figure out. | |It's toward the end of the canal on the left side (as | |you are going further in). Look for one platform near | |the end where a masked sniper attacks you (you'll see | |his laser sight). Well there is a building right across | |from him on the left side of the canal wall. If you | |stand where he was and look up, you can see the top of | |the building and the center is where the treasure shines| |for you to shoot it down. | o--------------------------------------------------------o Go to the slope at the end of the canal and climb up the mossy stones here. Drop down and exit. A group of Lazarevic's men will spot you here. Use the Dragon Sniper if you have it to start and take out the armored guy first and foremost. Grab his SAS 12 if you want. Deal with the others one by one but look out for grenades like always. Elena will find a cart so help her push it. Climb up from here. o----TREASURE - Unusual Bronze Mask--------------------------o |As soon as you climb up from the cart, go to the right. | |Climb onto the mossy railing and jump to the nearby ledge. | |Take this to a giant root or platform of sorts where the | |treasure awaits. | o------------------------------------------------------------o Go up the winding staircase to at last make it to your destination. Head inside and you'll find it's a battle royale in there. Bad guys A versus Bad guys B. Both will be gunning for you if they see you. Your first objective is to get either a GAU or a crossbow. There happens to be a gatling gun dude on the left where all of Lazarevic's men are coming from. There are plenty more enemies, including a few armored ones too though. Toss a grenade in there to defeat them and soften the bigger guys up. You want to get closer, but not too close that they all start shooting at you. Start picking them off one by one and use the SAS 12 when closer. If nobody is blocking you from the gatling gun guy (who should be weakened by now hopefully), unload on him and take the GAU. Use this to mow down the remaining guys as well as on the creatures. If it runs out, use one of their crossbows. More will show up using the sling weapons. Again, go with the crossbow and the SAS 12 to defeat them. o----TREASURE - Mani Jewel Thogchag--------------------------o |With the fighting over and done with, approach the altar | |with the blue resin fire in the center of this chamber. Just| |above Drake's head are snake statues. If you look even | |higher than that though, above the fire, you can see some | |multi-armed statues around the sides. Look at each one and | |find the multi-armed statue that is holding this treasure. | o------------------------------------------------------------o Find the two large staircases that come together and go through the doorway at the top. Follow the torches to more stairs. o----TREASURE - Wooden Valjrapani Mask--------------------------o |Find the first set of blue torches and follow the first set of | |stairs up (first set after the conjoined set that is) and in | |the following corridor, look to the right and up near the | |ceiling for a statue bust that is sticking out from the column.| |Shoot the treasure from its mouth to knock it down to you. | o---------------------------------------------------------------o Keep going up a few more flights, but look out for just one more treasure. o----TREASURE - Bronze Statue Head--------------------------o |Not counting the previous staircase, go up exactly three | |more flights of stairs and right before you make a right | |turn to go up the next flight, turn to the left wall. Near | |some debris is the sparkle of another treasure, possibly | |your last one! | o-----------------------------------------------------------o It'll be a long trek but it's very straightforward. Keep going and you get a scene eventually. Well, so much for him. Anyways, once you have control, run forward and turn right. Grab the Dragon Sniper and start shooting up these guys one by one. Take time to heal when you take too much damage, but of course, if you wait, they might throw grenades so be ready. Move up when it's clear and take cover. Reserve the Dragon Sniper bullets for the armored guys. One headshot from it takes them down. Move up once they're down and go across the next few platforms and get a scene. Now it's getting interesting. __ ____ _ _ _ ____ _____ _____ ____ ____ / / / ___| | | | / \ | _ \_ _| ____| _ \ |___ \ / /_ | | | |_| | / _ \ | |_) || | | _| | |_) | __) | '_ \ | |___| _ |/ ___ \| __/ | | | |___| _ < / __/| (_) | \____|_| |_/_/ \_\_| |_| |_____|_| \_\ |_____|\___/ [at26] -----------------------------\TREE OF LIFE/------------------------------------ Head down the stairs and drop down the ledges. At the bottom, look for the narrow space between the roots and approach it for a scene. Here we go, ladies and germs, the epic final boss fight! Lazarevic is no Navarro, that's for sure. He doesn't need help, he'll take Drake on his own. He won't hide, he'll come right after you. This boss fight is pretty simple for the most part. The key is to keep moving and keep out of close range of Lazarevic's shotgun. That helps you stay healthy. For hurting him, well that's a different story. You'll notice this area has a lot of the resin sap. It's flammable remember? Your job is to lure Lazarevic near these and detonate them. Ideally, you don't want to stand too close to them either, not just because of the explosion but also because of Lazarevic and his shotty. There's plenty of sap around the area. Avoid stepping in the flaming resin pit as it will hurt Drake. Take a circular route around this area and it's very simple to hit the same spots and stay ahead of Lazarevic. Once he takes a few hits, he stumbles. Now he gets faster so you need to keep moving. Keep shooting the resin as he comes by. If he's not close enough for a spot, move away and get another one. They keep respawning so you don't have to worry about running out. Keep this up and make Lazarevic stumble again. After this, he starts using grenades, tossing two of them way ahead of your path so that you'll run into them. Sometimes you'll luck out and something will block them though. Otherwise, take a different route or just get out of the way but not near him. If Lazarevic grabs you, mash Square to knock him away, then keep running. Keep running and hitting Lazarevic with the resin sap bombs. Some roots will give way to alternate paths that you can take around the area for more spots and such. Make Lazarevic stumble again and he gets really pissed. At that point, he screams "SNAAAAAAAAKE!" "Liquid?" Wait, no, he screams "DRAAAAKE!". He is a bit faster again and he'll now throw three grenades at once--yikes! Keep running and getting him near the resin. His grenades are the biggest threat so don't even think twice about just running for a while because he takes a while before throwing them again. Escaping is the main key. Once you're safe, shoot the resin and keep damaging him. It won't be long until you come out victorious. After that's over, it's time to start running. Keep running along the collapsing bridge and jumping. Keep an eye out on how the bridge crumbles and try to determine where to jump. After a few close calls, one whole portion falls to the right and this jump can be really tricky so try to get to the edge as fast as possible Keep running and jumping until you get to the end and a quick scene. When you have control shoot the creature. Your view will be obstructed momentarily, but after that, keep shooting. You'll get a few scenes after that and that does it! Congratulations, you've beaten Uncharted 2! For those playing the game on Crushing, he's a very well written and comprehensive strategy for Crushing Mode Lazarevic submitted by MegaXFan "When the fight begins you are overlooking the flaming resin pit, with a batch of treesap to your left, and a flight of stairs. Head to the bottom of the stairs and wait for Lazarvic to round the corner, then blow up the resin. This will stun him, if you let him get close enough to it. While he is stunned, run up to him and melee him repeatedly. This will cause him to melee you once he is unstunned. Fight him off and he will either throw you or be stunned again. If he is stunned again, repeat the process. If you have a lot of ammo, you can also shoot him while he is stunned. After 2-4 times of this melee loop, the resin will have came back. Draw him near it, melee him, then blast the resin while he is stunned. Depending on how many times you melee'd him and how many shots you pumped into him, he will go to his next "phase" within 2 resin blasts (I personally never saw him take 3 of them, even if he was far away from it and I never shot him--only melee). Repeat this process until he is destroyed. If, instead of being stunned, he throws you instead, he will almost always throw you near another resin cluster. Simply wait in a safe spot for him to approach the resin, stun him with it, and repeat the process. Eventually he will stop throwing you and you can begin the stun loop in earnest. The only thing special to note is that if you have taken anything more than VERY slight damage, he WILL kill you outright during his melee. If you do this right he won't even attempt to shoot you with his shotgun or throw any grenades, so you really shouldn't have any reason to have any damage done to you when you initiate the melee. This can be a problem when he throws you, though, since he can sometimes get a shotgun blast on you before you pop the resin. Even if you stand too close to the resin when it detonates, as long as it stuns him as well, you should be fully healed by the time he begins his melee animation." __________________________________________________________________ |Credit| Thanks to MegaXFan for the above strategy for Lazarevic on| | | Crushing Mode. | |______|___________________________________________________________| ___ _ | __|__ __| |_ _ _ __ _ ___ | _| \ \ /| _| '_/ _` (_-< |___|/_\_\ \__|_| \__,_/__/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------[exra] ======== Trophies [exth] ======== Here is a trophy list for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

This is kept separate from money earned in multiplayer. The store literally makes use of money that you earn for medals and those various achievements in game. The skins allow you to change Drake's look in-game. It's a really nice feature for fun while playing through the game again. It's also nice since the game determines Drake's outfit based on the chapters and if you want to wear something different, you can. The weapons option allows you to queue up any gun in the game, so long as you purchase it first. Note that you cannot spawn a gun when Drake is behind cover, hanging from a ledge, climbing, and other actions. Also note that when you spawn a gun, you lose your gun in the opposite slot. So for example, if you have a 92FS pistol and a AK47 equipped, you choose to queue up a SAS 12 shotty. The SAS 12 obviously replaces the AK47, but you also lose the 92FS in the process. You can't spawn a pistol to restore it either, because then the SAS 12 is lost. So as you can see, it's sort of a balanced perk.

Crushing |Finish the game in Crushing Mode | '-----------------------------------------------------------------------------' Whew, that was a task indeed... In any case, a list is nice and all, but here is a little more in-depth info. Headshot Expert --------------- Try this early in the game. The enemies are slower and dumber and are easier to line up headshots for. Survivor -------- See above. The earlier you start this, the easier it will be. You also can make things incredibly easier by changing the difficulty to East or even Very Easy. (Number) Kills: (Gun) --------------------- For a majority of these, you can get them easily just by using the gun again and again in the game. Keep in mind this one very useful tip though. Dying does not erase your total for that gun during that checkpoint before you died. It continues to add up. This is useful when using a gun that isn't found very often or has limited ammo. Keep dying and then using it again when you restart to add up the kills. 30 Stuns: Tranquilizer Dart Gun ------------------------------- You only use this normally in Chapter 2 and only on 3-5 enemies each time. Buy it from the store and queue it up during any other mission to get more uses. 50 Kills: P08 - 9mm ------------------- For my money's worth, I believe this is a gun you must buy from the store and spawn during any other mission. You get it a couple times, but in each instance, I'm pretty sure you don't actually get to shoot any normal enemies with it. Buy it and then spawn one during other missions. 50 Kills: MP40 -------------- You find it a couple times, but you only get one chance to kill guys with it. Pick it up in Chapter 8 and carry it with you allllllllll the way to Chapter 10 to finally use it on a few enemies. You'd speed up the process considerably by spawning it after buying it in the store. Beast Mode ---------- This corresponds to Chapter 16. There are four yaks. One is near the very beginning, aside the first house. The second one is up a hill after Tenzin opens a gate. The third is near the kids playing soccer. The last one is on the left right before Schaefer's house where Tenzin stops. To pet a yak, get close and hit Triangle. Word to the wise: don't pet the final yak from behind! Marco!/Polo! ------------ Get these in Chapter 6 only. When you get to the roof of the hotel with Chloe, jump in the pool and swim around for a bit.

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------' ================= Multiplayer Co-op [exmp] ================= Here will be a nice section dedicated to some basic coverage of the game's multiplayer co-op. Don't expect an intricately detailed, step-by-step walkthrough for these missions. They're just not necessary. Your experience in co-op will benefit greatly by just having an overall know-how of the levels and the strategies to get through them, as well as having teammates who are just as smart and skilled. Instead what you'll find is a basic overview of the missions and a very general run-through of each. I'll be providing some small tips here and there too, some for co-op in general, and some for specific missions and situations. Cooperative Objective --------------------- Cooperative Objective mode has three missions. Each mission is based off of certain parts of the single-player game. You will need to fight your way through enemy filled areas cooperatively and look for red objective markers to proceed into new areas. Players must "assemble" at the markers simultaneously to move on. _ _ _ __ __ | \| |___ _ __ __ _| | \ \ / /__ _ _ _ ______ _ _ ___ | .` / -_) '_ | _` | | \ \/\/ // _` | '_|_ / _ \ ' \/ -_) |_|\_\___| .__|__,_|_| \_/\_/ \__,_|_| /__\___/_||_\___| ==========|_|================================================================== A fairly easy level and one that many players are familiar with from the beta. I've played the hell out of it which makes me shake my head sometimes when people continue to vote for it time after time after time after time. Oh well. It's based off of Chapters 5 and 6 of the main game. [Street Area 1] Very simple. You begin in a narrow street with only a few enemies. Plenty of cover. The best strategy is to just charge your way through. Grenades help. [Street Area 2] A lot of enemies will appear in the street area from both ends. It's a good idea to have eyes pointed at both directions. Cover helps a lot but many players will ignore that and just run around, especially going for melee kills (which is extremely annoying at times). Near the end, combine your efforts to defeat the armored enemy. Your objective marker will point to the street light/post where one player can get into position to boost the others. Only ONE player needs to climb up so the other two should remain on the street and fend off the incoming enemies. The climbing player should be able to recognize the path up the street light and then to the building, over the signs and to the window. That player will push down a dresser for the team to assemble at and enter the next area. [Street Area 3] More enemies and again, you'll take attacks from two sides so be wary. Toward the end, look for the RPG'er enemies. There is one on a tall rooftop near the bus you climb over to get into this area. He stands dangerously close to a propane tank so shoot it. Grab an RPG from an enemy and use it to blow up the wall when the objective marker appears. Assemble here to move on. [Bar/Street Area] Of most importance in this area is the inclusion of new guns. There are some M4's and DE's (Desert - 5's) around so pick them up. In this area, more enemies and a gatling gunner at the end. Also watch out for a pair of stealth attackers that attack from the bar area. Free your choked teammates with melee or well aimed gunshots. Chuck grenades and try for headshots on the gatling gunner. Without a doubt you should use cover against him. [Alley area] The main threats come from snipers and stealth attackers. The latter will appear very suddenly near the sniper rifles. Help out any teammates being choked and watch out for them to reappear periodically throughout this part. For the snipers, use cover and the Dragon Snipers against them. The can kill you in one shot if you stand out in the open. They attack from both ends of the alley. Assemble at the fire escape and climb up and go through the building. [Temple area] You finally reach the temple area, stealth melee the first few enemies, then go in guns blazing. You want to charge up the temple steps so use grenades and such to push your way in. When you get to part 2, note the abundance of weapons inside, including several RPG-7's. Try to save most of these if you can for the armored enemies that show up near the end. Wasting all of the RPG-7's early is sort of dumb but oh well. Once you're done with all the enemies, assemble at the chest to complete the mission. _____ _ __ ___ _ _ |_ _| |_ ___ \ \ / (_) | |__ _ __ _ ___ | | | ' \/ -_) \ V /| | | / _` / _` / -_) |_| |_||_\___| \_/ |_|_|_\__,_\__, \___| ===================================|___/======================================= A really good level with a lot of variety. It's not too hard for the most part until you reach the very end. Teamwork and quick thinking can help see you through. It's based off of Chapters 19-20 from the main game. [Village Area 1] Fight your way up the steps to the house where a gatling gunner emerges. Pummel him with grenades to soften him up. There are more to the far right near where he stands (if you want to risk it). Otherwise, keep shooting til he goes down. Enter the house and save the hostage. [Village Area 2] Retrace your steps and look for numerous enemies to appear on the rooftops. Use the AK-47 and cautiously move forward back down the steps. Make your way to the doorway. Have one player boost another over the wall. That player will automatically open the door once they drop down on the other side. In here, you'll have to deal with a lot of enemies from various sides. You can stick together or form a perimeter around the area. A good spot to camp is on the building to the left. Climb up here and you get a good view of the entire area. Eventually, three armored guys appear up here though so be careful. Use an RPG-7 dropped by one of the other enemies or a nearby M32 Hammer to weaken them. Try not to be too spread out that you can't reach your teammates if they are in trouble. The enemies will continue to spawn from the same places until you eventually hit your checkpoint. [Village Area 3] A villager gets killed by an enemy. Gun him down immediately and the few enemies up the stairs. You'll have a gatling gunner and a stealth attacker to contend with so throw a grenade. There will only be a few more enemies to deal with, including several who appear behind you on the rooftops. Move on to the next area when you're ready. [Alley Area] After the RPG'er breaks up the party, look for the nearby Dragon Snipers. Enemy snipers will appear in basically two spots. One or two players should deal with them (look for the laser sights) while a third player fends off the shotgun enemies that come down the stairs. Getting them is important. After that, an armored enemy appears from the doors. Just try to line up one head shot with the Dragon Sniper and he goes down easily. [Rooftops Area] Climb through this building and get to the roof where more Dragon Snipers can be found. Again, use these and if you take a look below, you see many enemies who don't know you're there. Line up head shots on the armored foes and take them down without any effort. The Gatling Gunner will take a little more work. There's a M32 Hammer up on one of these ledges if you can find it. Make your way down with your team but drop down from ledge to ledge; don't jump it. Stock up on what you need and assemble near the objective door (there's another Hammer right near the door). A lot of enemies will appear on the rooftops you just dropped down from. Among them are many stealth attackers who have Hammers. They are really annoying. Try to fight fire with fire or use Dragon Snipers. You can shoot them from below (but it makes you an easy target for the grenade launchers) or you can have one player go up and have the other two cover him with sniper fire. Once all the enemies are vanquished, gather inside that building from before and climb up to the top. Assemble at the balcony to enter the next part. [Village Area 4] If you or another player is still holding onto the Hammer/Dragon Sniper, use them on the armored enemies here. There are also plenty of grenades to throw here. After that, the tank shows up. Make your way to the heart of the village where more of Lazarevic's guys show up. Use cover to avoid being eaten up by the tank's secondary gun. Keep killing the enemies until you're told to look for an RPG. At this point, RPG enemies will appear either in the main area or the alley leading to it. Find them and use them on the tank until you hear a helicopter show up. Great. Same strategy basically, but the helicopter can be a lot more dangerous. Staying out in the open is a bad idea and sticking too close together can be a bad idea too, although you need to be able to help your teammates. Find RPG's fast and use them on the helicopter. Accuracy doesn't have to be pin-point but try to shoot at it when it slows down or when it turns sideways, making itself a bigger target. Once you bring it down assemble at the last area down the alley to clear the mission. _____ _ ___ _ |_ _| |_ ___ / __|__ _ _ _ __| |_ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ | | | ' \/ -_) \__ | _` | ' \/ _| _| || / _` | '_| || | |_| |_||_\___| |___|__,_|_||_\__|\__|\_,_\__,_|_| \_, | ======================================================|__/===================== This level is probably considered the toughest of all three and it's mainly due to a lack of knowledge on the part of the people playing it. Not knowing what to do and not sticking to simple, basic strategies will get you and your team killed in this level very easily. If you know what to do in each area though, this one is very easy. It's based off of Chapter 22. [Monastery Area] You'll approach the monastery much like in Chapter 22. Two guys are at the front gate. Blast your way in and start shooting up the joint. Enemies will drop in from the left side near the tower and also to the left of the drawbridge (which is up for now). Know where the enemies come from and use AK-47s (you can find plenty of ammo around) to gun them down until the drawbridge comes down. Take it toward that large building. There's a room in there you need to get to. Cross the bridge and charge up the stairs. You want to get into that room off to the left. Fight your way in there but watch out for shotgunners and pistole users. When you finally reach the objective room, note the enemies crowded around the sandbags at the doorway to the left. A grenade works well. Many enemies will come through there so stay back and let them come to you, especially the shotgun-wielders. Two of them will appear behind you in the corridor so watch out. Once the enemies are down, assemble at the door. You need an RPG to open it. As a team, charge back across the bridge and gun down several enemies, including two armored foes. Grenades work well and cover always helps. Some enemies have RPGs. Have two players hold the enemies off while the third grabs an RPG and uses it on the door. Once you do that, the enemies should stop coming after a few seconds. Assemble at the door again to move on. [Monastery Area 2] This is where I see a lot players dying simply because they don't know how to do this part properly. It starts off fairly easily though. You'll be at one end of a large gap. Across from you on the other side are several enemies. There are M4 rifles to the right to use if you want. There is also a gatlin gunner enemy very high up to the left. He's standing basically at your next objective. Start by shooting down a few enemies, then when you can, one-by-one, jump to the hanging wooden bars that connect the two platforms. You can monkey across these to the other side. Don't have players jumping at the same time, because someone will likely fall off and die. Once everyone is across, take cover near the center and use the FAL rifles to gun at the three armored enemies on that high platform, including the gatling gunner still. If all three players pour it on these guys, especially using the FAL to get headshots, they go down a lot faster. Turn your attention to the staircase across the next gap. A few more enemies will come down, including even more armored guys. Try not to engage them at close range and instead fall back if necessary. If you still have grenades, they can help, but be careful using them. Fight your way up to the top where the gatling gunner was. You'll find some Dragon Snipers and no clear way to move on. This part is where a lot of people die. Your goal here is to climb the white wall using the bricks and get inside the building. The problem is that once someone starts climbing, more enemies appear below. They'll shoot at the player climbing and either kill him/her or make them hurry up and accidentally jump off. So your strategy should be this. Have one player climb the wall while the other two use the Dragon Snipers to provide cover. This is the strategy that is meant to be used but not a lot of players grasp this. The player climbing should hopefully see the path is pretty clear. Go up a little, left, then all the way up to some red swing bars. DO NOT jump left or right to try and reach the bars. If you do jump, do it straight up, but it shouldn't be necessary because from the highest climbing point on the wall, you should be able to just reach up and grab the swing bar. Climb across these, then swing all the way to a platform. There is another Dragon Sniper up here. Once the enemies die down, the next player should climb up, and if possible, the third one too should follow him/her. The player who already got to the top needs to provide cover since more enemies will likely appear. If a player doesn't know how to climb the wall, have another player show them by climbing it slowly. Once everyone is at the top, look for the platform across and below this top one. It's a high jump but you will land safely. From here, you can take the beam straight across to a window. Vault over and drop down. A few more sentries appear but it shouldn't be a problem. [Bridge/Tower Area] Once you assemble at the door, you'll come to a bridge leading to the next tower. Plenty of cover here and in the room you start in, lots of guns including M4s and Dragon Snipers. Use the snipers to headshot the armored guys coming at you, as well as the various enemies on the high ledges on the tower. If you hang back and pick them off one by one, this part is a cinch. Proceed toward the tower. A lot more enemies will filter out of the doorway so gun them down before charging in. A grenade will help too. Inside, have one player boost up another. Immediately after, a chunk of the wall will fall down and the other players can use that to climb up a column to the platform. Fight your way up the platforms and then find the beam to cross into the next area and assemble at the door. [Bridge Area 2] Just run all the way toward the door where you'll be stuck. Two gatling gunners appear in the distance. Use the Dragon Snipers and headshot them repeatedly. It takes a while but they'll go down. Now you can focus on the helicopter. A few enemies will drop down one-by-one from above the red doors. Some will have RPG-7's. Use these to bring down the heli. [Courtyard Area] The final showdown. This part gets crazy because there are a ton of armored enemies and snipers all around. The way they appear in just about every corner makes it tough to take proper cover. For this reason, stick close together and hold your ground in one spot. There is a nice corner to the right of where you enter that is good for this. For the beginning though, find the enemies and gun them down. A lot of laser sights show up so find the snipers and pick them off with the M4, FAL, or what have you. When the armored guys show up, you might want to find that corner and dig in to hold them off. Also be on the look out for stealth attackers who will try to choke you. Keep shooting and try to stick together and find a good defensive position when things get really heavy. More snipers and more armored enemies continue to appear. Once you have dealt with them all, you can gather in the center again and finish the mission. Cooperative Arena ----------------- The Arena game mode has two variations: Survival and Gold Rush. These game variations each have 10 rounds. In each round, the enemies get progressively more difficult, mostly in the types of enemies you encounter. Survival and victory requires a concrete team effort. In Survival, your goal is... to survive. Not as easy as it sounds though. The first several rounds start off pretty simple. When you progress though, you'll encounter stronger enemies like armored guys, gatling gunners, snipers, stealth attackers and so on. Gold Rush is much like the Plunder competitive mode. Your goal is to find the treasure as indicated by the marker on the screen and carry it to a chest on the map and capture it. Meanwhile, you've got to fend off hordes of enemies. There is a score multiplier at the top of the screen that slowly drops from 3x to 2x then to 1x. The faster you capture the treasure, the more points you'll receive. Survival/Gold Rush Tips ----------------------- 1. In Survival, try to develop a strategy and stick with it. Try to have a "center area" where you'll fend off most of the enemies. For example, in the Sanctuary, it's often much more beneficial to the team to just stay in the center, rather than running around all over the place. If you stay in one place for the most part, your team is always gathered and at arm's reach. 2. Have an escape route. If you do decide on a "home" area in Survival, make sure you have an escape route in case things get hectic. Communication helps here since not all players might understand and just stay behind. Retreating and then trying to gather enemies in an area can be helpful. In Gold Rush, you will often need to take alternate routes to avoid the stronger foes. 3. Know where the grenades are. As the rounds get higher and the enemy ranks start including more armored and gatling gun guys, grenades become even more helpful. Restock whenever you can. It's a good idea to put your "home" area near the grenades. 4. For Gold Rush, capturing the treasure faster means more points. This becomes much more helpful on the later rounds. Don't waste too much time fighting enemies. Have good weapons like the Dragon Sniper, Moss, M4 and escort the player carrying the treasure. Take detours when necessary. 5. Keep the treasure moving in Gold Rush. Don't leave it untouched for too long or else it will reset its location which is very frustrating if you've carried it over half the map or more. General Tips ------------ 1. An obvious one: stick together. Running off ahead is permissable as long as you don't leave your teammates out to dry, especially if they're new to the game and/or level. Fighting in groups allows you to focus on enemies and take them down faster and revive or assist teammates in danger must faster. You are not helping the team by perching yourself on a high building away from your mates. Remember this. 2. Alternatively, if you know how the enemies enter certain areas of the level, you can form a "perimeter" but still stay relatively close to each other, allowing you to surround the enemy forces. 3. Don't be afraid to "lead the way" by running ahead, but try not to do so when there is "business" in the immediate vicinity of your team. Like I said before, don't leave them out to dry. If your teammates are hanging around too long, they might not understand where they need to go next, so don't be afraid to get moving, but make sure they follow you. 4. Prioritize your surroundings. What I mean by this is when the you-know-what hits the fan, and your teammates are downed or in need of help, but you also have trouble, you need to decide fast what your biggest priorities are. Almost always, your biggest priority should be to revive fallen teammates. Be wary of the enemies that have taken them down though. Sniper and stealth attacking enemies are the most dangerous, as are the gatling gunners. 90% of the time, you'll want to revive your teammates immediately. There are times though when the sniper/stealth/etc enemies are in your way and your life is in danger as well. It's a good idea in these cases to try and take them out fast and then quickly get to reviving. In the example of the gatling gunner though, you won't take him down easily by yourself so revive your team! 5. Don't run around the map trying to melee every enemy you see. This is by far one of the stupidest things you can do in co-op. It's perhaps the most frustrating thing I come across when I play with random folks. You have a gun, and access to many more guns--use them. Good melee strategies are to go after isolated enemies in very narrow areas (EXCEPTION: SHOTGUNNERS/ARMORED GUYS). Meleeing enemies in between gun kills is also helpful in the right situations and especially when a guy sneaks up on you. If you run around a wide open area just trying to punch every enemy you see though, you're just playing stupid. 6. Always know where the group needs to assemble to move on. The spots are indicated by the red circles which you need to stand near and hold Triangle. Typical, you can search the area for weapons and ammo to restock, but you are usually expected to assemble and move on within a few moments. Taking too long often annoys your teammates. 7. Prioritize enemies. Know who the biggest threats are. When you see laser sights, that should be an immediate red flag. Armored guys are also big threats that need cooperation to take down. The stealth attackers are also big annoyances and need to be taken out immediately to help keep your team on its feet. 8. When being choked out by a stealth attacker, meleeing and shooting the enemy are the best strategies. Never ever, ever, ever throw a grenade at your teammate to try and get the attacker off them. Shooting from a distance is a good strategy when they are out of reach and they are running out of time. 9. Use cover. It doesn't get any simpler than this. More skilled players feel better about taking risks, but even still there are times where cover will help immensely. Running all over the place can often get you by but it won't do at all against the biggest threats. 10. Grenades are your best friends against armored foes, as as are head shots, especially from the Dragon Sniper. 11. Take turns when platforming. Trying to climb something at once often leads to somebody falling off which could kill them. [These two tips were submitted by G-rey and are mostly in his words] 12. Nearly every enemy except armored foes and stealth attackers make some sort of announcement of their arrival. "Over there!" or "I see him!" are the ones they use the most. But if you have positional stereo or headphones, you can actually hear which DIRECTION the enemy is coming from; they say it BEFORE they drop in, so you literally have time to turn towards the sound and take them out, often before they are able to pose any kind of threat. 13. Getting the most out of ammo pick-ups. Say you like the Dragon Sniper, but it has one bullet left. If you pick up ammo for it, you get 5 more bullets. But if you pick up another weapon first and THEN pick up that same sniper ammo, it will have 10 rounds in it. It especially comes in handy in co-op modes on Crushing difficulty when stepping out for ammo can be suicide. __ __ _ _ _ | \/ (_)__ ___| | |__ _ _ _ ___ ___ _ _ ___ | |\/| | / _/ -_) | / _` | ' \/ -_) _ \ || (_-< |_| |_|_\__\___|_|_\__,_|_||_\___\___/\_,_/__/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------[misl] Wrapping up the guide, you'll find the closing information here.

Frequently Asked Questions [fak4u] -------------------------- 1) How do you perform the hanging grab? A) Hit Square when hanging below an enemy. 2) Are there new guns in this game? Do old ones make a comeback? A) Yes and yes. There are a few new guns but not a lot. Just about all of the old guns return. 3) I see this blue icon when I'm near ammo/guns and it looks like a ninja. What does it mean? A) That appears when you stealth melee an enemy. Their dropped ammo has more bullets than normal. 4) If I grab a treasure and then die, do I have to get it again? A) No, once you have the treasure, it's yours for good. 5) I see a treasure that I'm pretty sure is totally out of reach. How can I get it? A) Try shooting it and it will probably fall down for you to pick up. 6) I got a medal in single-player but no Trophy. Why? A) There are tons of medals and not all of them correspond to a Trophy. 7) I played the multiplayer beta. Will my stats carry over in the full game? A) No. 8) Do I need to play the first Uncharted to play/understand this one? A) The obvious and realistic answer to this is no. Do you HAVE to play the first one? No, of course not. Nobody's gonna come to your house and beat you with a stick if you don't (although maybe they should... *ahem*). You're doing yourself a little bit of a disservice by missing out on one of the best games in the PS3's library and one of the best in this console generation though, but that is purely my own opinion. 9) So what's next for you? A) Well, that's a good question. I will definitely be writing another guide (or at least attempting to) before the year is over. What will it be? Well, that's a secret.
