Golden Tomb is one of two tombs located in the Isolated Desert. Its entrance is located between the villages of Theos Elpis Rift and Remetch Ra. Find a weak wall on the mountain’s north side, surrounded by scarabs. Bust through with a melee weapon to enter the tomb.
The new light enters the tomb and reflects off a couple mirrors, illuminating a doorway ahead. This light, if allowed to continue throughout the interior, leads directly to the tablet. When the light ends prematurely, you must either move another mirror into position or eliminate cobwebs with your torch or fire arrows.
Light your torch for better visibility and move through the doorway to allow the light to move into the corridor. Just ahead, it stops on the left wall. Move the nearby mirror back so that it makes contact with the beam. Follow it.
Find the next mirror and clear off the cobwebs before collecting a piece of Silica in the right room. Just ahead, follow the hallway left to find an armory, where another Silica is located. On your way back to the main corridor, there is a under pass on the left sidethat leads to a small treasure room with one chest inside.
Continue deeper into the tomb, following the light over a barrier of boulders. Clear off the next reflector with a brush of your torch, and then take the first turn to a short dead end. Just on the corner, on your left side, there is another passage underneath that leads to a small treasure room with one chest and one piece of Silica. Go out and take the second left turn into a short dead end. Destroy the containers on the left to find the fourth Silica.
Next, find the nearby moveable object and push/pull it into the path of the light, leading you into a room on the right. Destroy more containers that block the light from its next redirect.
The light now points to some brush on the floor ahead. Toss your torch to reveal a hole and drop down to a lower level. The light now leads into a treasure room that holds the Ancient Tablet, two treasure chests, and a Silica.
Grab the loot and complete the tomb’s objective. Follow the corridor to discover Oun-mAa Niye Ressoot. The right path at the “Y” intersection leads to a moveable object that blocks a narrow exit, leading back out to the Isolated Desert.
Ancient Mechanism: Oun-mAa Niye Ressoot
Instead, continue down the left route and descend into an open, well-lit cavern. Before activating the device, search the perimeter to find five Silica—two on the left, one hidden behind two rocks, one on a small platform next to the wall, one on the right, and two more along the back. Now head down the path and hop along the square platforms to score another Silica, before collecting the final one near the mechanism. Place five of your newfound Silica on the device to activate it and retransmit Segment 1.
