Abandoned Mines - Revisiting This Area Later in the Game

When revisiting this level later in the game, everything on the north side of the canyon is still accessible from the Pantheon Corridor Base Camp. There are no major collectibles on the south side of the canyon, so the most you might miss are a few coins and some salvage near the giant statue.

This page shows how to get back to each area from the base camp. If you need additional help locating specific items, check the Abandoned Mines Collectibles Guide and the main walkthrough.

This brings you back to the RUINED CHANCEL WITH THE SHALLOW POOLS. There are a few items in this area. The ladder on the east wall leads up to the last few collectibles, and the circular pit leads down to the DARK TUNNELS and, farther on, the ROOM WITH THE CHANDELIERS.

To get there, carefully climb down the ice wall inside the circular pit. Don't let go; there are spikes below.
