Shadow of the Tomb Raider - Ancient Aqueduct

Shadow of the Tomb Raider - Ancient Aqueduct The Hidden City – Ancient Aqueduct In front of the base camp “Temple of Kukulkan” you can drop down a wall next to the river. There’s a cave entrance with yellow skulls on spikes in front of it. It’s just a few steps north of the base camp and then drop down the wall (do not jump over to the next wall, don’t climb over the river). Solution: First there’s an underwater section. Then you climb some rocks and you see a mini cutscene with Lara burying her gear in the sand. After that there’s a base camp and you come to the aqueduct challenge room. Puzzle #1: The first puzzle involves kicking a raft, tethering it to a floodgate, then filling the room with water via a lever up. This raises the raft and pulls open the floodgate. Swim through a cave and on the other side open another floodgate, kick the raft to this room and again fill the room with water so you can jump from the raft to an opening in a wall. (1) – Kick the raft towards the floodgate that has a rope attachment on it. (2) – Use rope arrow to tether the raft to the floodgate (3) – Fill the room with water via the lever at the top (where you came from). This will raise the water and because the raft is tethered to the gate it also opens the gate. Note: if you already filled the room with water you can dive and use your pickaxe on a second floodgate that makes the water go away. (4) – Swim through the underwater tunnel, remove the rubble at the end of it to get to the next room. (5) – In 2nd room, interact with underwater floodgate to drain the water. (6) – Kick raft from Room 1 to Room 2 (7) – Pull the lever again that fills the room with water (8) – Climb the raft in Room 2 and jump to the opening in the wall. Beware, a bunch of enemies spawn in the section that follows so keep your weapons ready and loaded. Puzzle #2: After defeating all enemies there is one more puzzle. You trigger it by pulling a lever that fills the room with water. This also reveals a raft in the water. Jump on the raft, tether it to the water wheel. Then tether the water wheel to the anchor hanging overhead (thus raising a hanging box), jump back on the raft and climb the wall in the water. This lets you reach the now elevated platform so you can cross over to the other side. (1) – After killing all enemies, pull lever to fill room with water. (2) – Get on the raft. Tether it to the water wheel via rope arrow. (3) – Tether water wheel to anchor hanging overhead. This raises a hanging box. Beware, enemies spawn. You must kill them to proceed. (4) – Tether raft back to the water wheel so it’s in jumping range. (5) – Tether water wheel to the anchor again. Now very quickly jump on the raft. Because it’s no longer tether it will quickly float away. (6) – Jump from the floating raft to the wall in the water. Climb up and hop on the now elevated platform to cross over to the other side. All done.
