Peruvian Jungle – Underworld Gate Challenge Tomb (part 3)

The puzzle that will allow you to reach the altar involves a few moving parts: A wooden mechanism with a handle and rope coil attached, a rope-wrapped beam, and a separate crane-like mechanism with a dangling box off in the distance.

Start by grabbing the handle...

...and pulling it to rotate the wooden mechanism.

Stand under the rope coil...

...and shoot a rope arrow into the rope-wrapped beam on the other side of the gap.

Use the rope line to cross the gap and drop down on the other side. Climb up into the area on the right.

Pick up some salvage and black powder on the other side of the wooden handle, then return to this side. Grab the handle and pull it...

...to swing the crane around, bringing the dangling box close to the wooden ledge on the right. The handle moves back to its original position, but the box stays where it is until you pull the handle again. If you try doing this now, the box will move back too fast for Lara to get on top of it, so you'll need to find a way to anchor it.

Jump on top of the box, then back down onto the ledge where you started.

Push the first handle back the other way to snap the rope line you made before and reorient the rope coil.

Stand underneath the coil and shoot a rope arrow into the rope coil on the dangling box. This will anchor the box temporarily when you move the second handle.

Move up the wooden ramp and scramble back onto the box.

Then jump down onto the ledge with the second handle.

Pull the second handle again. This starts the box moving back to where it came from. The rope line you made will only hold for a few seconds, so as soon as you've pulled the handle all the way, let it go...

...run to the wooden ramp and jump onto the box before the rope snaps.

Then ride it around to the south.

When the box stops moving, jump down onto the ledge below.

Gather some resources here. Then head down the steps to find a mural (5/7) in an alcove. It is Underworld Gate (Mam Dialect/Trials of the Gods Story).
