Shipwreck Beach - Temple of the Handmaidens Challenge Tomb - Part 1

If you're going for 100% completion and want to explore the second Challenge Tomb, head away from the Survivor's Camp to the northeast. The tomb entrance is between the tall rock formation and the metal pole anchoring the zip line near the beach. You probably passed it earlier but was unable to get in without the rope ascender.

Use it now to open the reinforced door.

Enter, take the shotgun shells if you need them, and then go through the low tunnel on the left.

Follow it until you come to a rushing stream. Move to the end of the dock, stand near the anchor post and shoot a rope arrow into the rope-wrapped arch on the other side of the stream. Use the line to cross the water and then continue along the passageway to the tomb itself.

Here you'll find the Temple of the Handmaidens Day Camp, which is set up on the bank of another underground stream.

As usual, the treasure chest is on a high ledge on the far side of the cave. The puzzle you must solve in order to reach it involves a floating buoy and a few other movable objects. Here's the sequence: Start by cranking the wheel on the left side of the dock with your climbing axe.

This raises a cage out of the water, allowing the buoy to float underneath it to the left.

As soon as the buoy moves under the cage, stop cranking and climb onto the ledge on the left.

Wait for the buoy to float past below.

As it moves, it rotates an armature, causing the horizontal pole on top to move around in front of you.

Use it to jump across to the next ledge.
