Judge’s Gaze | Challenge Tomb Guide

Start from the Plane Wreckage Base Camp in the Peruvian Jungle. It’s located just north, and requires the ability to pry open barriers. You’ll need to traverse deep into the cavern to find the puzzle room.

1. Find the cart on the left and pull it back to release the counterweight. Move other left cart back to the far front-left corner, then move the first left cart to the barrier.
2. Use the second-left cart to place it under the counterweight. Attach a rope-ladder to the statue on the left side, and connect the fallen barrier.
3. Climb up and hang from the counterweight. It will lower and snap onto the second left cart. Now you can continue to move the first left cart to the right side of the room. If the barrier is connected to the statue, it will lift up.
4. Push the first cart all the way across until it snaps open. Connect the barrier to the hanging statue with a rope arrow. Climb up to the right-side counterweight and lower it into the other cart.
5. With both counterweights snapped into the carts, with both sides of the barrier connected, it will rise up all the way to the reward. Climb the barrier (now ladder) to get your prize.

Reward: Caiman’s Heart – Health regenerates more quickly.
