Guide to The Ancient World in Tomb Raider: Underworld, including how to defeat spiders, find treasures 26, 27, and the relic, and solve wall puzzles.
Walkthrough
- 1As you enter the area, kill the spiders that emerge from the pit and drop from the right-hand wall.
- 2Head towards the tree.
- 3Grab hold of the wall and move right to open the entrance to the next area.
- 4Climb down at the end of the area; the wall will glow.
- 5At the bottom, take hold of the wall and move it as far right as it will let you.
- 6Jump over the gap on the left and grapple the hook on the bridge.
- 7Wall run across to the other side.
- 8Grab the wall and pull it back as far as it will go, leaving a small gap to allow you to get out.
- 9Go around the other side and push the wall as far as it will go.
- 10Grapple the hook and wall run back to the center.
- 11Climb back up and shoot the mass of bats that attack.
- 12Grab the base of the wall once more and move it right; a short cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) will show the bridge is now aligned with the exit.
- 13Climb up.
Treasure 26:
- Turn and face the way you came in.
- Latch onto the hook on the right and jump down.
- Land on the platform below and collect the treasure at the end.
- To get back up, grapple the hook again and then jump off at the top to grab the ledge.
Treasure 27:
- When you've moved the wall (as described in the main walkthrough), find the small alcove hidden behind it and collect the treasures inside.
Treasure 28:
- Assuming the bridge is in the correct place after manipulating the walls, it should lead you to a platform with the treasure on.
- Climb back down when you are done.
Relic:
- Face the exit and hang off the left side.
- Let go and quickly grapple the hook, swinging to the outer platform.
- Grab the wall and pull it back, leaving a gap so you can go around the other side.
- Do so, and grapple the hook.
- Wall run to the other side and climb up to the top.
- The bridge should be just off to the left of the exit.
- Run along it and jump to the platform on the left side; the relic will be lying around.
- Head back and jump to the exit to continue.
Tips
- When hanging off ledges, let go and press the grapple button quickly to swing to safety or grab onto lower ledges.
- Remember to leave a small gap when pulling or pushing walls to ensure you can still maneuver around them.
- The relic and Treasure 28 are dependent on correctly aligning the bridge using the wall mechanics.
