The Hidden City – Speak of the Dead – Challenge Walkthrough

Uncover four crypts in The Hidden City.

1/4 – The first crypt is in the abandoned village, the first place you come to when you enter The Hidden City. The crypt is by the lake to the north; the entrance is close to a High Dive – instead of jumping off it, turn around to find the crypt.

2/4 – The second crypt is in the albino capibara territory, aslo near a lake. The entrance to the crypt is close to the challenge tomb in this area. The entrance is close to another High Dive, so climb up and go through a crack in the wall.

3/4 – During “Rebellion lives” (Reach Unuratu’s prison cell), after swinging across to the prison and landing by the “The Winged Serpent” mural, instead of following the beacon to the right, climb to the left instead. The crypt entrance is by another mural, “Uturunku, The Ferryman”.

4/4 – After freeing Unuratu you are going back to Paititi. When you cross the bridge (where the guards stopped you earlier), the crypt is to the left). The entrance is easily visible before crossing the bridge.
