Tomb Raider Walkthrough Part 18 – A Road Less Traveled, Guilty Conscious (Cliffside Village to Mountain Village)

Press onto the Northeast after that, continuing your ascent here. When you get to the arch, the obvious shot is to fire into the arch. Instead look over to the left and above. You will see a second Rope Target. Aim for this one to get at the Orange Cache that sits there. After that just head forward. Look to the left of the next hut to find some Fruit. Opposite that is the path forward. Aim and fire a Rope Arrow into the door to open up the path forward. Just head on down through the passage to make it back to the Mountain Village and Roth. After the cutscene take some time to talk with Roth to run him through this second set of Conversation options. He is found by the campfire to the right of where you talked with him in the cutscene.

As you have returned to the upper part of the Mountain Village you can work on some of the challenges in the area and search for the various things to find here. First through you need to get back into the village. Head on down the slope and over to the end of the path. Use a Rope arrow to get into the village itself by making a Zipline.

When you land immediately take cover behind the short wall to the right. Just wait out the nearby Solarii talking about what is going on. Once they start moving get into the house on the right. Just wait for the nearby Guard to come over and then move in for a Stealth Kill on him. Be careful as she can slip over the edge sometimes. With him dead head into the house and go to the far back wall. There is a relic sitting on the table for you to find. Spin it around to find out more about the mushrooms inside. After that head over to the Salvage Box you saw nearby and break it open. This can yield the second Bow Part needed for the next bow.

With that head on out of the building and creep up on the remaining Solarii Guard. Take him out with a Stealth Kill. Now it is safe enough to head up the nearby stairs. At the top of the stairs you will find the third Statue for the Illumination Challenge. After that take the nearby Zipline down to the area below. Immediately go underneath the stairs you land on. Here you will find a GPS Cache that you can add to your collection. Now climb up those stairs and head over to the West. This leads to the Fourth Statue of the Illumination Challenge. Now turn around and jump over to the roof nearby. Use your Torch to light the swinging Brazier. Now jump back over to where the statue is. Use the Rope Arrow to pull the Brazier into the netting to burn it away and reveal a Salvage Cache. There is a chance you will find a Rifle Piece in this one.

With all that in hand head over to the East and then use a Rope arrow to span the gap over to the North. Climb up the Zipline and then start up the craggy wall. Go up slowly though. There are 2 guards up there that can make your life very miserable given the chance. Wait for them to finish talking then quickly get Stealth Kills on them. After that head into the small cave over to the left. Just go inside long enough to light the Statue's Brazier. After that head back out to where you first found the set of Guards. Now you can access the second Challenge Tomb of this area.

To get to the Challenge Tomb go stand by the White Topped Post and Fire a Rope arrow into the archway across the gap. From there just run up the path and head into the nearby cave to begin the Tomb.
