Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Gather the three highlighted resources (trees and crate) using Survival Instinct. Interact with them and then heal.
  2. 2
    Head back the way you came, scramble up the wooden wall, and loot the Mushroom.
  3. 3
    Scramble up the wooden wall on the left, loot the cylinder of resources, drop down, and climb the ice wall. Loot the crate of Salvage at the top.
  4. 4
    Use the zip line to slide down to the previous area. Interact with the Monolith (requires Mongolian language level 1) to reveal Coin Cache locations. Loot Survival Cache [03/03] southeast of the Monolith. Loot Coin Cache [01/03] on the eastern end of the ledge across the frozen river to the south.
  5. 5
    Follow the objective marker to open the chest and loot the Mushrooms.
  6. 6
    Follow the objective marker to the cave in the northeast corner. Loot Coin Cache [02/03] at the base of the ledge to the right of the cave entrance. Enter the cave and acquire the two mushrooms.
  7. 7
    Return to the Monolith and loot the nearby crate of cloth.
  8. 8
    Return to the Base Camp. Before entering the menu, follow the path west to find Coin Cache [03/03] at the base of the cliff.
  9. 9
    In the Base Camp menu, purchase 'Poison Arrows' from the 'Ammunition' section. Invest any skill points.
  10. 10
    Exit the Base Camp menu. After the scene, wait for the soldier above to get into range and perform a silent takedown. Enter the bushes ahead and perform a takedown on the approaching soldier.
  11. 11
    Grab the Arrows at the Base Camp and proceed towards the objective marker. Deal with the six patrolling Trinity soldiers by either stealthily taking them down when isolated or fighting them. Practice using the Bow or observe patrol routes and use bushes/branches for ambushes.
  12. 12
    Kill and loot the bodies of three enemies to complete the area challenge.
  13. 13
    Before proceeding to the bear's cave, loot Document [05/06] from the crate in the middle of the clearing.
  14. 14
    Use the tree at the base of the wall to scramble up to the branch above, then jump to the ledge above and head to the bear's cave.
  15. 15
    Enter the cave and shoot the bear with an arrow to alert it. Quickly sprint back to the cave entrance.
  16. 16
    Use Poison Arrows on the bear to stun it, then fire several normal arrows for extra damage. Repeat this process until the bear is defeated. Use the rocks and trees for cover and sprint to avoid the bear's attacks. Use dodge moves when necessary.
