Uncharted Golden Abyss Walkthrough Part 2: You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet

You will begin this chapter working with Dante in a jungle clearing. First things first, head over to the Jeep to uncover a secret photo opportunity. Position yourself behind the Jeep on the left and snap a picture of the gate to get yourself a new addition to your notebook. Follow Dante out of the clearing and across the gap using the rope. Follow the path until your reach a cliff face. A cutscene will play establishing the enemy you will be facing later, General Guerrero. Climb up the cliff behind Dante.

At the top of the cliff, pull out your camera for another photo opportunity. Snap a shot of the bridge hanging over the waterfall to complete the task. Drop down off of the cliff to find a series of handholds leading off to the side. Follow them to find a secret Treasure, the Kuna Death Mask. Go back up to the spot where you took the picture of the waterfall. Climb the indents in the wall to your left and run around up top to initiate another cutscene. Dante will ask you to make some charcoal rubbings of the various stone slabs holding the rope bridge up. Approach the first one and tap the icon on the right-hand side of the screen to begin the minigame. You will have to rub your finger over the paper on the screen until the entire image is visible, and then tap the check mark in the lower corner to continue. After you finish the first, you can find the second to your left. After another cutscene, follow Dante as he crosses the dilapidated bridge. Be careful of the plank in the middle, which will break when you step on it. Climb up and jump the rest of the way across. Make two more charcoal rubbings using the other two columns.

Puzzle: Charcoal Etchings Diagram

Now you will have to piece the rubbings together into a complete image. Rotate the top right scrap of paper and slide it into the top right slot on the diagram. Similarly, take the bottom left scrap of paper and slip it into the bottom left space on the diagram. The other two scraps are mirror images of the scraps that go opposite them. They should slide into place easily. When you complete the puzzle, Dante will congratulate Drake in a brief cutscene.

Proceed around the curve in the path to reach a log bridge. Dante will warn you that it is unstable. As you cross the bridge, be sure to keep the Vita steady. When Drake reaches the middle, the log will roll a little and you will have to tilt the Vita twice to keep your balance. Run forward and jump across the gorge using the rope hanging from the wall. Climb up the wall in front of you by the emblem, using the statue’s beard as a handhold. As you proceed upwards, Dante will ask you to investigate a mysterious shimmer coming from the right. The path will branch off, so follow it and jump across the waterfall to find a treasure. Reach into the statue’s mouth to collect it, then rejoin Dante and climb the rest of the way up. As you climb, look for an offshoot leading to a ledge on the left. Drop down to the ledge and climb up a series of indentations to the left to find a second treasure hidden in the mouth of a statue.

As you climb to the top of the cliff face, you will reach a raging river leading to a waterfall. Falling into the river means death. Luckily, a series of rocks forms a path across. Jump to each rock, and then to the side of the cliff. Climb up and shimmy on the ledge over the river. When you reach the other side, climb down the vine that hangs there to reach a small platform in the river. Jump over the rocks here to get back to the other side again. Climb up the ledge here and go forward. Keep going as the path gets smaller and smaller, eventually forming a crevice for Drake to crawl through. As you emerge from the end of the crevice, a cutscene will begin to play. This marks the end of the first chapter.
