Climb up the wall towards the right, then rope onto the next. Once you've climbed out of the ruins, head to the right and use your rope to swing off the tree branch and grab the cliff-side wall across from you. Drop it off the edge of the platform and continue moving it around the rock wall towards the door you originally destroyed.īefore reaching the door, however, you're interrupted by Shoreline mercs - eliminate them either via stealth or direct attack, then push the crate through the door and against the wall in the back corner and climb up to the top of the ruins. Destroy the second wooden gate here, then interact with the large yellow crate and push it through the opening. To find something that you can use to reach the next area, return to the formation of ruins. Grab the dynamite out of the crate in the middle of the site and use it to destroy the large gate ahead of you. Return fire and eliminate them, then move forward along the indicated path to reach the first excavation site. After descending from the top of the cliff, you'll run into a few Shoreline mercenaries. Steering towards the right-hand edge of the rock slide, climb up onto the hill here, then use your rope on the tree stump to rappel down the cliff.

Head forwards across the field, then follow the snow drift down the hill to the right. As the two consider Tew's participation as a whole, an ominous rumble from overhead urges them to move on. Nate reasons that Tew's fate is just what history says, implying there's more to it than meets the eye. Sam is dubious regarding Tew's involvement, as he died pillaging the same treasure fleet as Avery. The plaque is inscribed with the words "For those who prove worthy, PARADISE AWAITS" and "To those who prove false, BEHOLD YOUR GRIM FATE." Thomas Tew, the Rhode Island pirate, created the sign and imprinted his sigil as signature. Inside, there are skeletons hanging in cages, an ornate stone mural, and a sign not written by Avery. The door slides open, revealing a chamber.

Nate, reluctantly and with encouragement from Sam, pulls a handle from inside. They then come across a door, and an unlocking mechanism with a hole big enough for just Nate's arm. Despite Shoreline patrolling just above and around the cave, Nate and Sam are the first ones inside.Īfter squeezing through a narrow passage, they enter the cave proper, noting the Saint Dismas statues and carved stairs. The two then proceed to traverse the cliff faces, centuries-old beams, and rock slides until finally arriving at the cave seen in the window. Nate and Sam weave their way through the cemetery and past newly patrolling Shoreline mercenaries. Unfortunately, doing so leads them back towards the cathedral and Rafe. Four circles in a view port of the window highlight three crosses erected across the fields and atolls, and a cave. While it doesn't lead to the treasure, behind the door is a pane of blue glass with two crossed cutlasses above it. After Nate correctly adjusts the lights using wheels on the statues' bases, he is then able open the locked door. Using Sam's lighter, they ignite the lamp, which lights up sections of the wall to release beams of light. Behind the statues is a locked door and a lamp. In the inner most sanctum are three statues of Dismas, Jesus, and Gestas. Realizing this simultaneously, Nate turns the skull to the right, triggering a passage to open. Sam mentions that it's not Avery's sigil, as it should be turned sideways. Nate notices the skull looks wrong - as if made from a different type of stone. They eventually make it to the cemetery where, after a long search, find Avery's headstone listed under an alias. They rappel down to a prospective dig site, raising concerns that Rafe has decided to search the surrounding areas rather than solely focus on the cathedral grounds. Sam agrees with Nate's assessment of Rafe being considerably ruthless. Nate explains that the both of them quickly grew tired with one another - Nate for his continued mourning, and Rafe's frustration regarding Avery's treasure. While making their way, Sam asks what happened between Nate and Rafe following Sam's presumed death. Nate and Sam fly to Scotland with Sully's help in search of Avery's grave.
