Tomb Of The Unworthy
- Location: Travel to the Mountain Village once you have obtained the
Climbing Axe, and return to the Tomb Of The Unworthy camp at the base of
the waterfall (right before the Climbing Axe is required to progress
further). Then, use the axe to enter the tomb.
Solution: To solve the puzzle in the tomb, you must first light the torch. Use the pot to light it, or use your flint if you have acquired it. Then, burn the bodies on the mesh platform, and push off the extra weight nearby to allow the lift to raise up enough for Lara to climb to the top and reach the treasure chest.
Reward: Mountain Village Relic Map
- Location: Travel to the Overlook camp in the Mountain Village, where
Lara went to find the rescue plane's smoke signal, once you have the
rope arrows and Firestarter flint. Use a rope arrow to reach the north
ledge to follow the upper route. Use a second rope arrow to reach the
tomb entrance.
Solution: To solve this puzzle, first look around the room. There is an open window on the left, and a platform hanging by ropes in the center. Start by closing the shutters on the left with the crank, then turn the crank in the center to raise the platform. The shutters on the left will slowly open. Then, quickly run onto the platform once it has been raised, and wait for the second shutter to open. Once it opens, a strong gust of wind will blow the platform right and high. On the right, a flat wooden board will appear for Lara to jump to and hang on from the ledge. Move along the ledges to reach a long hallway with the treasure chest at the end.

- Location: Travel to the Helicopter Hill camp in Shantytown. You will
need a rope arrow to pull open the tomb entrance and drop in. Travel
through the town to reach a building painted with white murals and
protected with boobytraps. Destroy the floor to drop into a cave below,
which leads down a straight path to the tomb.
Solution: Inside the tomb, there is a hanging platform above. Collect the yellow canisters one by one, and throw them onto the platform to lower it. Once it is on the ground, stand on the platform, and remove the canisters. Next, step off, and use the upper ledge to jump onto the raising platform, then quickly jump onto the left ledge to reach the area with the treasure chest.
Reward: Shantytown Relic Map
- Location: From the Windmill camp in Shantytown, travel to the eastern
caves below the gondola station in the southern part of the town, and
slide down the surface to reach the ledges across the gap. Follow the
right passage after climbing up the ledge, and cross the wooden beam
bridge to reach a narrow entrance to the tomb.
Solution: Collect the yellow canisters around the tomb, and place them on the raised section of the seesaw to weigh it down. Jump to one, and use a rope arrow on the other. Use the raised seesaw to jump to the rock wall. Move along the rock wall using the climbing axe to reach a ladder. Climb the ladder to reach the area with the treasure chest.

- Location: Travel to the Hunting Lodge camp in the Summit Forest, and
go north beyond the bridge. There is a lamppost next to the tomb
entrance.
Solution: Use two fire arrows to set off explosives and gas to solve this puzzle. Explode the gas with a fire arrow, cross it, then destroy the explosive crates on the ledge to clear the pathway. Then, climb up the rock wall to reach the treasure chest.
Reward: Summit Forest Relic Map
- Location: At Shipwreck Beach, travel to the zipline north of the
Survivor's camp to reach a barricade blocking the way to a bunker. Use
the Rope Ascender to break the barricade, and follow the path. Use rope
arrows to continue into a cave leading to the tomb.
Solution: Use the crank at the entrance to raise a platform and allow the buoy to move left. Climb the ledge left to follow the buoy as it releases a turning pole. Use it to jump the gap, then use a rope arrow on the white roped beam below. Wait for the buoy to move forward, and push the beam perpendicular with Lara. Once it lines up, jump to the bar to reach a rock wall using the Climbing Axe, allowing you to reach the area with the treasure chest.
Reward: Shipwreck Beach GPS Cache Map
- Location: At Shipwreck Beach, the tomb is located on your way to the
Cliffside Bunker. You will need the Climbing Axe, Prying Axe, and some
rope arrows. Climb to the top of the bunker, and go through the narrow
passage to reach the tomb entrance.
Solution: Press the button up the stairs, then press the button beside the door near the entrance to enter the tomb. Inside the tomb, there is electricity surging through the water and a floating platform. Light the anchor rope on fire to release the floating platform, then shoot the wooden barrier on the right with the shotgun. Shoot a rope arrow through the new opening in the barrier at the platform to pull it closer. Pull the platform to the steps, then use rope arrows to pull the beam at the far end of the room, raising the generator and stopping the electricity in the water. Pull the generator up, jump right to the platform, pull the generator again, and continue through the water. Finally, pull up the generator, then pull the platform underneath the generator to make the water safe to cross, allowing you to reach the area containing the treasure chest.
