Location: Near Jungle Base Camp
Access the Tomb
The entrance to the first challenge tomb is next to the Jungle Ruins Base Camp and is accessible as soon as you reach the area. Look north from the camp and enter the ruins left of the steps. Crawl under the roots to get inside.
Follow the trail and duck under the spears. Scramble up the marked tree until you reach the branch. Leap over to the limb and grab ahold of the craggy wall. Head left, jump over to the bricks, and dismount from the other side to reach solid ground again.
The Tomb Base Camp
Disable the trap (1) by cutting the tripwire, then scramble under the spears. Before continuing, collect the Explorer Backpack that sits next to the wall on the left.
Tightrope the tree and jump over to the branch. Swing from the limb above to reach a second branch. Leap over to the craggy wall and rappel down. Swing forward and jump over to the trail.

At The Gate
- Dialect: N/A
- Nearest Camp: Canyon Ruins
Inside a tent within the Canyon Ruins Tomb area.
At the dead end, scramble up the right wall and use the climbing axe to continue up the rock face. At the top, jump left to the ruins and shimmy until a falling rock causes Lara to lose her grip. Quickly grab the ledge and move to the far end before jumping to the steps. This leads to the Canyon Ruins Base Camp—allowing you to upgrade and fast-travel if needed.
Reach the Stele
Squeeze through the narrow gap in the wall and enter the ruins ahead. Scramble up the wall in the far-right corner to reach a walkway (2) next to a bottomless pit.
By hopping off the wooden platform ahead to the left, you can bust through the pry barrier to return to the previous ruins and exit the area by following the path to the left, but there is more to do in the tomb.
Jump to the craggy surface, rappel down, and swing to the main trail. Explore the small cave on the left and then scramble up the clawed tree. Jump toward the vine and press the Interact button to deploy the Grapple Axe to swing to the far ledge. Explore the campsite on the left.

Finger Length Away
- Dialect: N/A
- Nearest Camp: Canyon Ruins
Inside the cave just before heading across the tree bridge to the Tomb puzzle.
Return to the main trail and carefully cross the tree to the left. The goal here is to use rope arrows and a crane to reach the totem.
- Start out by rotating the wooden contraption (3) in a clockwise manner until it stops. Stand below the rope coil and fire a rope arrow into another rope above the far cliff. Monkey-crawl to the other side and climb the ledge to reach the base of the crane.
- Grab on to the lever (4) ahead and pull back to rotate the crane, which moves its payload around to the right.
- Hop across the payload (5) to return to the wooden contraption. Push it back to its original position, and use another rope arrow to make a bridge between it and the payload. Scramble up the side of the payload and jump over to the crane.

Underworld Gate
- Dialect: MAM
- Nearest Camp: Canyon Ruins
After solving the Tomb puzzle but before climbing up to claim your reward, this Mural is in a small alcove to the left.
- Pull the lever again until it begins to rotate back into place. Immediately run right and jump onto the payload as it passes by. When it comes to a stop, jump to the nearby platform and descend the steps to the right.
- Leap through the opening to a narrow projection, which instantly gives way. Be ready to grab on to a lower one after a short fall. Shimmy to the right, jump to the craggy wall (6), and quickly move up. Before you jump to the right, wait for a spiky rock to drop past you. Without delay, leap to the next craggy wall as a second rock passes through your previous location. Climb to the ledge above.
Interact with the stele on the right to complete the challenge tomb and receive the Skill. A board wrapped in rope on each side of the stele can be pulled down to find rare resources.
Exit the Tomb
Follow the steps left from the stele and jump across the limbs to reach another cliff. Walk onto the tree at the end of the trail and leap over the bottomless pit. Press the Interact button to grab on to the vine and swing to the slope ahead.
This deposits you onto a trail that leads away from the pit. Step up to the tree stump, fire a rope arrow into a coil above the far platform, and slide down. Continue around to the right and jump off at the end to rejoin the trail from earlier. Follow it to the left to exit the tomb.
Location: South of Plane Wreckage Base Camp
Access the Tomb
This challenge tomb is located near the first Base Camp, but the climbing axe is required to get inside. Therefore, you can’t access the tomb until Lara and Jonah are close to exiting the jungle. Return to the Plane Wreckage Base Camp with the climbing axe. Move around to the backside of the camp and climb the ledge on the right. Wade through the water and use the axe to bust through a weak wall.
The Tomb Base Camp
Dive off the cliff into the water below and walk through the opening up on the right. Climb up the two ledges on the right and leap over to the contraption ahead to raise the statue on the left. Step through the new opening to find the Jungle Cavern Base Camp.

Raise the Ladder
Cross the suspension bridge into the temple and dive under the wall. Turn left and climb the right wall at the dead end. Examine the Mural, then exit right to reach a court with the stele sitting up high on the opposite end. The ladder currently lies on the ground. The challenge requires using the pulleys and counterweights along the sides of the court to get the ladder upright.

- Pull the second cart back so that it sits where you found the first.
- Step up to the rope coil on the left side of the ladder. Aim your bow at the rope on the left statue and tether the two together.
- Face the wall next to the second cart, and look up and right to find an opening (2). Scramble and climb up the wall to get inside. Hop over the tripwire or disable the trap with your knife. Around the next corner, find a Document on the right before jumping onto the weight.

- Tether another rope from the right side of the ladder to the right statue.
- Turn toward the court entrance and climb the narrow section of wall (3) between the two openings. Turn left and climb into the opening ahead. The pry barrier blocks the exit; you can pry it free, but there’s more to do first.

Surprise Witness
- Dialect: MAM

On the opposite end of the puzzle, in a room overlooking the right-most statue that needs to be lowered to raise the ladder.
After the first jaguar fight, Lara must climb a tree to reach higher ground. The Document is to her right after jumping from the tree.
- Turn left, search the right cubbyhole, then jump onto the weight (4) behind you—lowering it into the cart and raising the ladder into place.
- Climb the ladder (5), hop the gap, and interact with the stele to receive the skill.
Exit the Tomb
A rope coil behind you provides a quick return to the pry barrier. Dislodge the debris (6) and scramble up the wall. Scramble up the next wall and slide down the rope.
At the bottom of the hill, scramble and climb the left surface. Jump right to the small ledge, and climb up and to the left. Leap over to the small plateau. Leap along the three branches before landing on the corner platform.
Turn left and swing on the vine to reach the next ledge. Jump to another craggy surface and rappel to the ground to reach the start of the tomb.
