Enter the crypt by climbing through the gap. Follow the path inside, which eventually leads to a long slide. At the bottom, you’ll find a glowing chamber. Proceed to the end, where a weight mechanism will help you descend further. This brings you to the sarcophagus containing Vestige: Yaway’s Wooden Greaves, an essential reward in this area.

The exit is more challenging than the entry. Move forward, but watch for traps. You can either disable them or find a wall on the right to pry open, offering a safer route that reconnects with the main path.

You’ll soon reach a room with a mural and a document. Look for another wall that can be pried open and go through it to continue.

The last section involves a room with bone flaps and climbing points. Use your rope to pull the flaps into position, creating pathways to climb. Repeat this method as needed to progress toward the exit.

Once outside, use a jump and grapple swing to return to the Temple of Kukulkan Base Camp.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
