Shadow of the Tomb Raider Cenote Tomb Walkthrough

Location of the Cenote Tomb in Shadow of the Tomb Raider

The Cenote Tomb, officially called the San Cordoba, is located in the northeast of the Cenote Temple Ruins Base Camp. Completing this tomb awards you with the Caiman’s Breath II skill. Begin by following the yellow paint trail that leads to the tomb entrance.

You’ll need to climb some stairs to reach the entry point, which is underwater.

Reaching the Cenote Tomb Entrance

Dive into the water and follow the path marked by yellow paint. Along the way, you’ll find two air pockets to replenish your oxygen. When you reach a fork underwater, take the route on the right. Be prepared to encounter hostile fish. Use the underwater high grass to hide and proceed through the left tunnel until you’re swept into a pool. Exit the water and prepare to climb.

Ascending to the Base Camp

Climb up the walls and proceed through a narrow corridor at the top. This leads to a room with a pool and the Collapsed Temple base camp. At this point, you can jump into the pool or continue exploring. From here, climb the stairs that lead to the next section of the tomb.

Solving the Cart and Cannon Puzzle

You’ll encounter a cart and a cannon blocking your way. Move the cart aside first, then push the cannon forward to break through the barricade. After clearing the obstacle, proceed along the newly opened path until you come across a shipwreck.

Boarding the Shipwreck

Follow the path to the right, where you’ll need to kick a raft into the water. Use the raft to climb onto the ship.

On the deck, you’ll find a barricaded entrance on the floor. The goal is to release the cannon above and drop it onto the barricade. Use the lever nearby to position the cannon above the barricade. Then, go to the center of the ship, drop into the water, and open the gate.

Accessing the Upper Levels of the Ship

Swim through and climb back onto the deck on the opposite side. Unfortunately, the lever is stuck somewhere high up. Walk across the ship’s mast, climb higher, and follow the path through a cave to return to the ship.

Once positioned above the deck, jump onto the mast and use the device to unlock the cannon’s movement.

Final Steps to Finish the Cenote Tomb

Climb the mast and rappel swing back to the deck to use the lever. This creates a path toward the hanging box.

Climb over to the box and ascend to the top of the mast. Release the cannon, letting it drop and destroy the barricade. Use a rope arrow to create a line for descending. Finally, enter the captain’s cabin to complete the Shadow of the Tomb Raider Cenote Tomb.
