Found The Box at San Juan. Shadow of The Tomb Raider.

in Hive Gaming9 days ago

Hello, Everyone.

Previously, I shared a crazy battle scene and how I was able to rescue Jonah from the enemies. And after that, we both were on our way to San Juan in search of the box, as we figured out that the box might be in some church after solving a riddle that the missionary left in the tomb of the last emperor in Paititi.

After reaching there, we found Abi. Our good old friend who may or may not be Jonah's future girlfriend. She gave me some information about the many stone-faced people and introduced me to one of her friends who has been researching those for many years. And from that friend, I learned that there is a library full of information, aka riddles, about a secret church, and there might also be a 400-year-old crypt. After hearing 400 years, I was kind of sure that this was the place, as the box was also stolen around 400 years ago.

We entered the library and started to search for riddles or clues. The riddle and puzzle solving in this mission were quite interesting. You can see it in the gameplay video. And the first riddle was, "The sun will be darkened and under His wings you may seek refuge". It was a verse from the bible, I guess, and it led me to a painting that I saw earlier on the wall. And I found out that the wall was a false one, and after breaking it, I found another painting inside, which gave us our next clue.


Station One: Jesus Takes Up The Cross

We found a cross and followed the riddle. And after pushing the cross up, the roof opened and a beam of light fell on the floor, which unlocked a door, and a tunnel appeared on the floor.

The tunnel was deep and we reached the station two, "Jesus falls for the second time". And after solving a puzzle, we were able to unlock the door. It was another narrow tunnel full of crosses and religious symbols. But, still, it looked like a horrible place, as, along with the cross, it was also filled with skeletons and skulls of humans.


There were many traps and many puzzles I had to solve to finally reach Station Five. And it was the church I learned about earlier. And now I was sure I was in the right place. I found the many stoned faces, found the library, found the underground hidden crypt, and now, finally, found the church too.

But there were many puzzles that needed to be solved before I could access the door, and I died doing that many times. As the puzzles had traps included, which means every time I took a wrong step, I fell into the trap and died.

And after all that, we finally found the tomb of Andres Lopes, aka the missionary who took away the box 400 years ago. His mummified body was still holding it, and there was a prophecy written on his tomb saying something like this, "Only the righteous hands may take my destiny from me". We were extremely happy to finally find the one thing that we've been looking for so long, fought so many battles for it, lost so many innocent people, and so many loved ones for it.

But suddenly there was a foreshock, and everything collapsed, and we fell into an underground waterpath. Looked like an underground lake or something like that. It shows that there might be some huge danger and twist coming, so let's see what happens in part 2.

I uploaded the gameplay video to my YouTube channel and shared it below from there. I hope you are going to love the adventure, cinematic scenes and the puzzle-solving moments. And most importantly, the scenes inside the videos. They are really thrilling.

I hope you liked the gameplay and the summary post. Have a good day.

I don't remember that church location in the game. Is this an optional quest or the main storyline? I played it a long time ago, maybe I forgot it. But it looks so cool.
