Temple of the Sun | Challenge Tomb Guide

The second Challenge Tomb is south of The Hidden City, very close to the Village Caves Base Camp. Climb up to a house with a pool of water inside. Dip into the water and you’ll find a lengthy passage. Continue through the caves until you reach a giant room with mirrors of light.

1. Point the first mirror all-the-way-left to activate the platform, allowing you to cross and reach a second mirror.
2. At the second mirror, point it at the activator in the far back-right corner of the chamber. Basically, move the mirror just slightly left from it’s starting point. The far green light should activate once you move the light off the central pillar.
3. Go back to the first mirror, then move it all the way right. Now it will activate a platform on the right side that lets you move forward. If you aimed the second mirror just right, you’ll be able to continue back-right, until you reach the back-right mirror.
4. Move the back-right mirror until it’s all-the-way left, and activate the platform. Now you can quickly return back to the first mirror, move it left, then reach the second mirror.
5. Go to the second mirror, and point it at the platform you just used to reach the second mirror. Go back to the first mirror, and point it almost directly diagonally to the back-left platform in the chamber, straight in the middle of the ossuary in the center.
6. Return to the second mirror (again) and move it all-the-way left so that it activates a walkway on the left side this time. Now, finally, we can reach the back-left mirror. We’ll call this one the fourth mirror.
   • Use the fourth mirror to activate a platform in the back-center, between the third and four mirrors.
7. Now that the last platform is activated, we can actually use the center ossuary platform to reach it. Jump past the final, center-back rectangular beam to get a reward.

Reward: Hoatzin’s Hunger – Increase the number of natural crafting resources gathered from each source.
