A big thank you to fellow PS3T Member GlennThomas for producing the banner above. Exceptional work!

If you found this guide through a search engine such as Google and you have yet to become a member of this forum, then do so and be sure to give me (Dr.HelmutMarko) a referral upon joining. Click here to Join The Forums!

 

This is a written/visual guide on how to complete Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on the game's hardest difficulty i.e Crushing. It is impossible to 'become lost' in this game, purely because it has a linear structure; therefore it is fairly easily to complete in that respect. Essentially this guide will school you on what kind of tactics to employ when dealing with the waves of pirates. You will notice that this guide has been broken down into sections. Each banner represents a section and it is advised that you complete that particular section then have a break from the game. For example: The first section consists of Chapters 1, 2 and 3 so upon completing those, take a break. Like I said this is just advisory, the reason why I offer a plan is because playing the game on Crushing can be really frustrating and it is beneficial for you to have some kind of plan when attempting to complete the game.

 

As mentioned before, this guide will offer you a strategy in order to deal with the enemies. However as a rule of thumb when in battle with the pirates, sometimes things just do not go to plan and therefore you may have to improvise.

 

Should I go for Melee Attacks?

It depends on the situation but as a rule of thumb I would not recommend using Melee Attacks as your first attack. The problem is when entering hand-to-hand combat, you are vulnerable to being shot and killed whilst you are beating someone up. Having said that, Melee attacks are good when there is only one enemy nearby as it keeps you safe and conserves ammo.

 

You mention 'Running Pirate/Guard', what does this mean?

It means that when you are in a battle with an adversary, one pirate/guard will attempt to run right up to you and enter arms battle. If unaware this can be a bad thing but if you are aware then you can use this to your advantage by either, shooting blind or launching your own Melee attack, soon as they approach.

 

What do you mean by Shooting Blind and Shooting from the Hip?

Basically it is shooting without aiming, you just press :r1:. In a sense it's quite unreliable because you do not know where your shots are going to land so in that respect it can cost you a lot of your ammo but it is very good in close combat situations. When I say 'Shoot from the Hip' it means you are running and shooting at the same time.

 

Why does some cover keep breaking and leaving me expose and other covers are immune from breaking?

Because there two different kinds of cover; ones that breaks and ones that do not. The ones which do break are usually boxes and the small stoned walls, they can sustained heavy fire but if a grenade was to be tossed nearby then the blast will result in the cover being broken.

 

Is there a difference between Guards and Pirates?

Yes but it isn't significant. The Guards tend to yield much stronger weapons and they are also dressed in armour so it takes much more to kill them. Apart from that they are the same.

 

Why do you not guide me on how to climb the game's ledges?

Because it is really simple, it is all one-way and it is virtually impossible to get stuck. However if you seriously need a guide on how to negotiate the game's ledges and pillars, then refer to the videos below as I show how to do them in there.

 

Are there any spoilers in this Guide?

I have edited out all of the game's cutscenes in the videos so this helps significantly in having a spoiler free guide. My commentary focuses on the there and then, however you can not prevent certain reunions with certain characters. Lastly, the plot takes an interesting turn from Chapter 16 onwards and there is nothing I can do to avert this. You have been warned.

Your boat is about to be ambushed so quickly take cover behind the crates at the centre of the boat but not on the side where Elena is. Two boats will pull up, in your own time shoot the barrels on them then kill any of the survivors. As soon as they have been dealt with, head left and take cover behind the crates again. Directly in front of you are more pirates who will board the boat from the top right, soon as they board run over and melee kill both of them. Next, two more pirates will board the ship but this time from the top left so run over and melee kill both of them. Now another 2 pirates will board the ship from the top right of the boat so run over, shoot from the hip and melee kill them both then quickly turn round to see the two pirates will have boarded the boat to your right. Run over, shoot from the hip then melee kill them both. As soon as they are dead you will come under attack from a gun turret, it will circle around your boat and there is nothing you can do to thwart this enemy. Take cover behind the crates at the centre of the boat and just keep moving under cover away from the boats gunfire. After about 20 seconds a cutscene will begin and that will conclude Chapter 1.

 

Follow the one-way path until you reach a cutscene, after walking for a bit and then Sully will say 'Now this is what I am looking for'. Head left and you will be able to climb onto a pillar, once at the top jump from pillar to pillar until you are able to jump onto a wall's ledge. Quickly shimmy around until you can jump back onto another pillar. On this pillar will be a large rock which Drake can push to make it fall to the ground, thus opening up an entrance. Drop back down onto ground level and enter the cave, keep moving until a cutscene begins. After this keep moving until you reach a pit then look up and shoot the barrel which will then make a bridge across the pit. Go across the bridge and keep moving till you come across a big door. Attempt to use the chain to the left of the door and after failing, Sully will open the door for you. Whilst it is open go inside and to your right there will be a cart, push it so that it will trap the door open and allow Sully to come into the room in just a nick of time! In this room Drake will prompt you look at the diary, do so then he will immediately ask Sully to light the brazier. Now look up and shoot the lantern, this will then open up the next room. In here look to your left and you will be able to climb up onto the wall. Now the trick is to keep jumping from ledge to ledge but you have got to be quick though because some of the ledges will crumble and if you were to fall, you would die. As soon as you reach a vine, slide down to the floor then look for a barrel then shoot it and it will allow Sully to join you. Enter the next room and Sully will automatically light the brazier which will then open up another door. Continue through the passage until you reach a big room.

 

Wall Puzzle

 

In this room there are 4 big wall switches and you will have to press them in a specific order for it open a large circular hatch in the middle of the room. Each switch has a picture imprinted on it and if you check your notebook it will have all of the 4 images with a number next to it. The number tells you what order you have to push the switches in, for example if a picture has the number '3' next to it then this is the 3rd switch you have press. Here is the exact order in relation to the room:

 

3

1

2

4

 

After completing the puzzle, a big circle hatch will open so climb down the ladder then jump from ledge to ledge and head left. Climb up then head inside a small room, push a cube and this will raise the water. Now you can jump into the water, then climb ashore and proceed forwards. Climb up onto the platform and then jump from ledge to ledge, eventually you find yourself on a vine. Climb up it and you will enter a small room. Look for some barrels, shoot them and this will reacquaint you with Sully, proceed through the corridor and open up the big door via pulling the nearby chain. Start walking on the precarious wooden flooring and it will then start crumble. Run before it catches up with you and then make a jump to the other side. Once you are safe on the other side, run up the steps and a cutscene will begin. After this head right, through a doorway and simply follow the tracks on the floor which will lead you back outside. Simply proceed forwards until you find a massive boat, head to your right and climb a couple of ledges then a cutscene will begin which will draw an end to the Chapter.

 

Jump into the water and swim briefly to your right. You will see that you can climb ashore on your right, then start climbing the ledges and vines. Keep climbing this one-way path till you find yourself beneath the Submarine, which you will be able to drop down onto then find the hatch and drop down onto the boat. Again, everything is linear so keep moving through the boat until a cutscene begins then after that, progress forwards until another cutscene starts. Now runaway from the gun fire, you can't afford any screw-ups whatsoever. Drop down the ledges and you will encounter a pirate, melee kill him and take his weapon. Keep running until a cutscene begins and you will be reunited with Elena. Now run a bit further and take cover at the front of the cave. From cover you will have a free shot at the pirate who will be walking away from you. Kill him with a headshot, then this will alert more pirates. Stay behind cover and patiently kill off all the pirates. Enter the cave and stock up on weapons and ammo. From where the pirates were, take a right and run through the passage. At the end, climb up onto the ledge and pirate will be directly above you. Shoot whilst hanging then climb up and head into the big room. Take cover behind the pillar on your left, a pirate will run up to you from your left, wait for him to arrive and melee kill him then deal with the other pirate. Run to the steps but do not go down them, just go down a couple and then aim shoot at a pirate who is just bellow. Jump across 3 or 4 ledges, then a pirate will appear and open fire on you. Immediately take cover behind a pillar and kill him before proceeding to the end of the room.

 

Run through the room which had the wall switch puzzle, head up the steps then soon as you reach the top you will come under attack. There will be pirate pretty close to you, try to kill him with your AK by shooting from the hip then take cover to your right. There are 2 more pirates down the corridor and up the stairs, do not go to them but stay where you are and pick them off with your pistol. Collect all the ammo before running up the steps, continue running until a grenade is thrown in your path. Quickly take cover on a pillar to your left and wait for the pirate to come out, as soon as you have a clear shoot open fire on him. Keep moving through the ruins, till you reach a circular room, climb the ladder on your right to the next level. Proceed into the next room, you will see some red flares on the floor, which will highlight your next covering position. Take cover behind the 2nd wall and pirates will open fire from the next room. Kill the first pirate with your AK and the other one with your pistol then head into the next room. Keep moving until you come under attack then take cover behind the wall to your left, kill both of the pirates who are down bellow then head down to their level and continue past the red pot and take cover by the wall in front of you. There are four pirates to deal with here and you will have to be incredibly patient, stay where you are, do not move from your covering position, otherwise you will die. When they are all dead, collect all of their ammo and climb up onto the steps.

 

Keep moving till you are back outside, take cover by the big pillar to your right, then kill the solitary pirate to your right. Quickly run passed his body and head towards the Jeep. You will get shot at so do your best to avoid getting hit by rolling and jumping. Once you are at the Jeep, let your health recover, then head back to the pillar to where you previously held cover. This time make sure you are on the other side, shimmy to the right and pick off the pirate further down. Hopefully Elena will say 'Over here I think' and will run to the Jeep, follow her to complete the Chapter. If do this final part any other way, you will have to kill about four pirates, by running to the Jeep soon as you exit ruins, Elena will surprisingly go on a killing spree and mop up most of the pirates; needing you to only kill two.

Shoot the lock off the nearby gate from your starting position, proceed forwards till you reach a waterfall. On your right you will be able to climb up onto some pillars, keep climbing till you find a stream, follow it and look out on your right for some more pillars to climb. At the top, walk across the tree trunk then immediately take cover behind a stone wall because you will come under attack. Stay where you are and patiently kill off the pirates on the other side. Once they are all dead, proceed to the other side. Climb the vine and immediately take cover as you will come under attack by a another pirate. Once he is dead, head right towards a passageway, immediately take cover behind a pillar and kill off the three pirates who attack. Continue through the passageway and climb up onto the banking. On the last bank, hang from it's ledge, aim and shoot the pirates below and try to get some kills if you can. As soon as they run off head down to their level via the ledges which are directly opposite the bank that you are stood on. As soon as you drop down, head left passed the wall that you climbed down then take cover behind the second wall on your left (see the picture below):

 

QeP4oWh.gif

 

Remain in cover as you are now going to get pirates running towards you one by one, wait for them to arrive and then melee attack them from cover then quickly return to cover. I had 5 individual pirates running towards me but you may have more or fewer. Once they are dealt with, patiently pick off the remainder of pirates on the other side. Now pick as much ammo that you can from the dead pirates and then return to cover. There will be a brief pause of silence, then couple more pirates will drop down so aim from cover and kill off the pirates who should be to your left. As soon as they are dealt with, make a mad dash across the battle zone and take cover by a small brick wall (see the picture below) you will incur heavy fire but you can make it.

 

Z9P7gFi.gif

 

You will now have to deal with another wave of pirates, be efficient and do not exit cover as you will die. Pick them off as they drop down, one pirate has a shotgun and he will try to walk right up to you and blast you away. Deal with him soon as he is inbound. Throw all of your grenades blind in hope that you will get some kills as soon as the pirates reach the ground. Once the pirates are dealt with on the ground, look up and there will more than likely be one or two pirates on the next level. Once the area is clear, make your way up onto the next level through climbing onto the pillars which are located on the other side of your covering position. Hop over to the other ledge and kick down the gate. Take cover to the right of the gate, and kill off the two pirates that drop down. Soon as they have been dealt with, quickly enter to where they were and more pirates will arrive, soon as they open fire, backtrack through the gate and take cover behind the crate (see the picture below):

 

HWL951d.gif

 

Now from here, kill any pirates that you can see and eventually two pirates will exit through the gate and head towards you, kill them quickly then wait for while as more pirates will foolishly run out through the gate and into your firing path. Once they have stopped coming, collect the ammo and head through the gate, turn right and take appropriate cover. There should only be 2 or so pirates left and they will be well away from you. Once it is quiet, stock up on any ammo that is left and head through the doorway where the pirates were coming from. As soon as you enter there will be more pirates, immediately turn round and head backwards through the doorway and then take cover behind the furthest pillar. As soon as the pirates approach the doorway, kill them with your AK as you should have plenty of ammo. You are going to have to kill about 7 or 8 pirates, this is easily doable if you remain in cover, just be robust when dealing with them for when they enter your firing range. When they all dead then enter through the doorway and head left, right to the end.

 

Now climb up onto the pillar then jump from pillar to pillar, until you can hurdle over the locked gate. Drop down and continue through the passage until you come across a small green pit. Drop down and hang from the ledge, aim with your gun through the open doorway. You will see two pirates walking by, kill them from your position. After they have been dealt with more will arrive, if they do not not then climb up and head towards the doorway. As soon as you hear them, backtrack to the pit and hang from the ledge because from this position you are immune from being shot at. Afterwards deal with the remaining pirates, there should only be 2 or 3 left. Now go round collecting ammo then head right towards a large waterfall. To your right there will be some ledges for you to negotiate, this will lead to the middle of the of river. You will then be attacked from above by the pirates, climb up and take cover, kill off the pirates who are firing at you. Once the area is clear, walk along the bridge and you will find more pillars to jump onto and ledges to negotiate, do so and it will lead you to the other side of the bridge. Drop down to the pillar bellow and on it's edge it will start crumble, jump off it and you will grab onto a ledge. Jump across to the next pillar and you will come under attack from some pirates in Jeep. Reach the top of the pillar but remain hanging and shoot the barrel on the Jeep, this will conveniently make a bridge for you to gain access to the next pillar. Jump across from pillar to pillar and on the third one you will come under attack. Quickly drop down so you are hanging from the ledge and kill off the two pirates who are ahead.

 

Now head up stream and climb onto the banking to your right. Be sure to take the grenades from the crate, continue climbing, make the jump onto the tree trunk, then head towards the vines, climb up them and you will see a brief scene depicting your plane. Drop down and take immediate cover, now throw a grenade towards the group of pirates. Sometimes you will net a few kills sometimes you will not but this will alert them of your presence and some pirates will run towards you, if so then open fire on them first. Allow the pirates to come to you, if they are too far away then briefly progress forwards and take cover in order to deal with but always backtrack to your first covering position. You are going to have to deal with 2 or 3 waves of multiple pirates. Most of them will come to you, however some will hang back. Once the area is clear scavenge for ammo, now before you climb up into the plane. Look at your AK, if it is low then change to the shotgun. Once you have seen the plane wreck, return to ground level and pirates will start dropping down from where you first entered the area. Run all the the way to that area (next to your 1st covering position). Time you get there two pirates will have already fallen down. Kill them via shooting from the hip. Now, stand right where they drop and melee and shoot from hip to deal with the waves of pirates. You may not do this first time but once you have got it, it is an efficient way to deal with this latest ambush. The pirates will drop down in twos, keep moving and look out for them, as you will have limited time to kill them. Once they are all dead, pick up their ammo and you will now have do with one last ambush. More pirates will now arrive from the other side, take cover where you stood and let them come towards you. They will just run in the open area heading towards you, deal with them. One or two will hang back, if you do not have a clear a shot then progress forwards and take cover in the middle of the battle zone. When they are all dead, head towards where they were coming from. You will see a pirate walking, do not worry he will fall into a booby trap and die. Continue along the pathway, you will have some ledges to climb across in order to reach the next area.

 

Once you are in the next area, melee kill the pirate who is walking away from you then head forwards and melee kill the pirate who has his back turned against you also. Where that second pirate was, take cover and shimmy to the right, aim from cover and you will see a pirate in red napping. Get him with a headshot, now this will alert all of the other pirates, quickly run back past the first pirate that you killed. To your left there will be an embankment which you can take cover behind (see the picture below):

Now let the pirates come to you, kill those who come the closest first and once they are all dead continue forwards passed the second pirate that you melee killed. Immediately take cover as you will be ambushed by 3 more pirates, they are pretty close so blind fire with your AK and kill all three of them. Continue round the corner and lookout for another wave of pirates who will drop down and as soon as you see them, run back to the bank and take cover. Again, let them come to you then kill them all. You are going to come under attack from about 7 pirates, try to deal with them quickly otherwise they will surround you. If they do, blind lob some grenades and this should fend them off. Once things quieten down, run back round to if you see any more pirates then head back to the banking. Once the area is clear continue forwards, be careful of the tripwire and continue forwards till you find the Fortress which draws to an end one of the most difficult Chapters of the game.

Climb onto the exterior of the Fortress and jump from ledge to ledge, everything is linear so there is no chance of getting lost. You will then find yourself inside the Fortress but only briefly, exit via the window to your right. Continue jumping from ledge to ledge and you will find yourself back in the Fortress by crashing through a window. To your right is an open doorway, take cover and you will have a free shot on a pirate, be quick and make the headshot. Stay in the same cover and deal with the all of the grounded pirates, some will run through the doorway, when they do act quickly and melee kill them. After a few kills you will more than likely be low on pistol ammo, scavenge around where you are and there will be a micro Uzi near where you originally broke through the window. Now run through the door out into the open and take cover behind the brick wall (see the picture below):

 

2sNvgD0.gif

 

Now look up and deal with the pirates who are directly above you, they are well hidden and there should be around two or three of them. As soon as the area is clear, stock up on ammo and make your way up the ramp to the next level. At the top turn right and jump down to the other side. Head up the steps and take cover by the tunnel, launch an attack on the nearby pirates. Try to get a kill then quickly head back down the steps. On your far right there will be an open doorway, go through it and take cover by the doorway. Wait for any pirates to come down the steps and kill them from your covering position, now head back towards the tunnel and shoot from the hip if there are any in sight then take cover by the tunnel. Look through the tunnel and there will be a truck, just behind it is a barrel so try to shoot it if you can as this will deal with a pirate who lurks there. Now take cover behind the first set of crates and deal with all of the pirates who are in your firing line. Once it is clear wait for the gun turret to briefly stop firing, now run out into the open and take cover behind the first set of crates. Now blind throw a grenade towards the turret to deal with the pirate who is using it. Now look up to the next level and kill the pirates who are there from your current covering position. There may also be an additional pirate underneath the archway so be wary of him. As soon as the area is clear, look round for ammo and then head through the open door on the far left. Watch out for the pirate who jumps out from the open door near the steps (deal with him by shooting from the hip) then proceed up the steps, turn left and head up some more steps which will lead you to Elena's parachute. Climb up this half broken tower and use the zipwire at the top.

 

After the cutscene you will come under attack from some more pirates, first of, pick up the Wes and take cover behind the table. Now look to your right and shoot off the lock from the gate. Now charge over to the gate and break it down. Once outside take cover, equip your Wes and it is one shot kill with this weapons. Pick off any visible pirates from down bellow. A turret will open fire to your left, throw a grenade blind and this will deal with him but if you do not have any grenades then return to the room and there will be some there. Now as soon as no one is around drop down and there will more than likely be one last pirate who is just underneath you, kill him by shooting from the hip. Now make your way into the water tunnels, a gun turret will open fire on you, keep to the right and take cover till it briefly stops shooting (see the picture below):

 

s140UxV.gif

 

As soon as it stops, run down and on your right you can climb up into a safe area. Now a pirate will go commando and try to ambush you on his own so kill him. Search the room for an RPG, then pop your head out when the gun turret stops firing and blow up the turret. Proceed down the tunnel to where the turret is and climb up. Now in the next chamber you will be ambushed by numerous pirates, however there is a nice little exploit you can use to deal with this latest attack. Hang on the ledge but do not drop down to the next chamber, then climb back up and backtrack back to the outside. Shoot at the truck which is in the middle of the yard. Now the music should change and you will hear some pirates, those pirates are now occupying that water tank. Backtrack to the tank but do not drop down, instead take cover and kill all of the pirates who are down bellow. There are around 10 pirates to kill, so be mindful of your ammo, there should be some additional ammo in the room where you got your RPG. Once the area is safe, drop down and your climb up onto one of the pillars in the centre of the tank. Once on top, jump to the far side of the chamber and active the chain in order to open the gate to the next chamber. In the next chamber, drop down into the water and swim to the far left corner where you will be able to climb up onto a ledge. These ledges will subsequently lead you to another chain, pull it and it will raise the water. With the water raised you can make your way to the other side and climb up to another chain. Pull it and it will raise the water further, now drop back in the water and you can climb a ledge at the opposite of where you entered the chamber, climb it and this will you back outside.

After a short cutscene you will be ambushed by two pirates, take cover and deal with both of them. As soon as they are dead more pirates will open fire from above you, be patient and remain where you are. Kill them and this will make the area temporarily safe. There are some steps to your right but before you climb up them, there is a small room directly in front you and inside there will be some ammo. Now head up the steps and you then come under fire from some more pirates. Take cover behind the boxes, however bear in mind these will break after a few rounds get fired at them so be quick to react when or if this happens. Once the area is clear of pirates make your way down to where they were and to the left of the tower is a chain switch, pull it to open the gate which is just below you. Walk through the gate into another small yard, you can climb up onto pillars. Navigate your way from ledge to ledge until a small cutscene starts, whereby the structure breaks and you will return to the ground floor. Now climb onto the freshly fallen debris and you will be able to climb onto the ledge on the other side to where you was originally climbing.

 

After climbing a few ledges you can now make your way onto the tower. Shimmy around until you can climb through the tower's window, make a jump across to return the tower's exterior and then continue climbing the ledges till you can climb back inside the tower. Raid the skeleton for a key then slide down the rope to the ground floor. Now you will want to make your way back through the gate and head to the far corner to a door which you can now unlock. Head through the rooms, stock up on ammo and head outside. As soon as you enter the courtyard you will come under fire from a turret and a handful of pirates, backtrack to the archway and take cover. There is nothing you can do about the turret just yet so first off you are going to have to deal with all of the grounded pirates. Whatever you do, do not open fire on any pirate whilst the turret is firing as this will kill you. A few pirates will run to your covering position but do not melee kill them as you will be in the turret's line-of-sight so if anyone runs towards you, you are going to have to kill them with blind fire. Take your time with this, because this is a difficult battle and one you will lose if you're too impatient.

 

Once the grounded pirates are all dead and as soon as the turret briefly stops firing, run out and take cover behind the nearby boxes and there should be an RPG so use it to deal with the pirate who fires the turret. Now on your left will be chain switch, pull it to open the nearby gate and head up the steps. Along the narrow corridor more pirates will attack, as soon as they get close they should be in a group so use a grenade if you have one spare and this should deal with most of them. Now kill the remainder by shooting them, be careful though as one pirate will be hidden to your right so be for sure to kill him whilst shooting from the hip. Once the area is clear, head down towards to turret. Use the turret and more pirates will appear just bellow in the yard, clear the area before moving on down the steps. Once at the bottom, head to a table where the game will prompt you to check and a short cutscene will begin and soon as it ends you will be ambushed by a pirate, deal with him by shooting from the hip and exit via the door where he came from. Go up the steps and it will lead you back outside, you will then come under attack by some more pirates. Just to you left there will be a good covering spot (see the picture below):

 

DsgoYGs.gif

 

As soon as you see the pirates, blind throw a grenade and hopefully you will get lucky then open fire on the remaining pirates. Once the area is clear, make your way to the far left and you will be able to climb up onto the next level. Next you will have some more climbing to do, again everything is one-way and eventually you will be able to enter a room inside, followed by a short cutscene. After this you will have to quickly shoot a pirate below, once you do this, this will then draw an end to the Chapter.

For this next Chapter you will have shoot and blow up any incoming vehicles. This is quite a tough Chapter to conquer but the only tip I can give is that through repetition, you will learn where the vehicles are and how and where they come from. It is also advisable to not let go of the firing button which fires you car's turret. Furthermore you can also have a grenade launcher but firing is limited as you have to wait 3 or so seconds before you can fire again. Now onto the next Chapter.

 

Quickly climb ashore and ignore the pirates who are shooting at you from above. Make your way into the next area and take immediate cover directly in front of you. You can pretty much deal with the first wave of pirates in the cover position where you are now but the next wave will remain hidden so soon as you can not make a clear shot, quickly proceed forwards and take the next suitable cover. Once the area is clear make your way to the nearby chain switch to open a gate, go through the gate and you will then have to jump onto a Jet Ski. You will then have to drive the Jet Ski through the deserted town however, pirates will appear on the houses in order thwart your attempts of progression. Drive very slowly and as soon as you come under under fire, seek out where it is coming from and deal with them. Soon as you are back on land run round the corner and you will hear some pirates from a distance, they are on the other side so stay where you are and take cover (see the picture below) and deal with the pirates from this distance:

 

1eXNzWc.gif

 

Thankfully none of them will run over to where you are. There are a few barrels where the pirates are situated, if you can blow one up then this will indeed help your cause. Once the area is clear, run to where they were and more pirates will come out. As soon as you hear them, run back to your covering position and deal with them then return to where they were. Round the corner are more pirates and as you go round, aim your gun and look slightly above for a pirate with a red shirt. He wields a RPG so deal with him first and then take the nearby cover and deal the rest. When the area is clear, head round the corner and run towards an open doorway. A pirate will appear and as soon as he does, take cover. What ever you do, don't enter the doorway as you will you be outnumbered and will more than likely die. Instead you are going to have to deal with these pirates whilst you are outside. Some may run out and most will look near the doorway. Keeping running near the doorway, this will tease out some more pirates, be wary of the big hole to your right of the doorway, as some pirates will be there. Once you have dealt with most of them and it quietens, enter where the pirates were coming from but through the hole. Take immediate cover and there will be one or two pirates on the other side who will be well hidden. Deal with these two and then head to the far left corner to where there will be some steps. Up these steps you will have some climbing to do, only to be interrupted by a single pirate so kill him whilst hanging from the ledge then climb to where he was. Once there, pull the chain switch to open a gate then Elena will arrive and you will return to the Jet Ski. Again I am embarrassed to say that there is not much guiding I can do for this part, drive cautiously and deal with any inbound pirates. As soon as you are back on shore, take immediate cover and deal with the nearby pirates. Once they are all dead, there is small alleyway made up of water and on the other side are some more pirates wanting your blood. Do not drop down into the water just yet but take the cover directly in the front of the alley and try and kill one or two pirates, if you can do this then it will be a great help. As soon as you have no clear shot at any pirate, quickly jump in the water and swim across. On the other side hang from the ledge and soon as you do, one or two pirates will run towards you, kill them whilst hanging. When the coast is clear, climb up and take immediate cover. There will be two or three pirates left, deal with them as quick as possible because your cover is liable to expose you after a few gunshots. When the area is clear, climb up the steps to your left and start jumping from pillar to pillar until you reach the top of the gate.

Drop down and take immediate cover, you will now have a real battle on your hands. Kill the pirates who appear, then once it is quiet, run down to the open doorway to your right. Soon as approach this doorway, more will attack, quickly backtrack to your first covering position and kill those who are in your sight. Unfortunately, only one or two pirates will fall for this trap so you will have to go back to the door and take cover. Pop your head round the doorway and kill the pirate who is slightly above you, it is important you kill him quickly because has an RPG. Once he is dead, kill the nearby grounded pirate and there should be one other pirate to your far left but you may have to exit cover and stand and aim in order to kill him. Now have a quick look where the pirates were, there should be one last one who just runs around. Kill him and quickly collect some ammo before the next wave of pirates arrive and then return to your first covering position. The pirates will scatter at the opposite end of where you are hiding. There should be about 3 or 4 pirates to kill and they can easily be dealt with from where you are. Once the area is clear, run over, picking up ammo and take cover underneath the archway (see the picture below):

You will now have to deal with one last wave of pirates. If you have grenades launch them all down to where they are and hopefully you will get some kills. Stay where you are and do not exit cover, you should be able to deal with them from where you are. Finally when the area is clear, head down to where they were coming from and head inside. Be alert as a pirate will run up behind you and will attempt to kill you, turn round and deal with him. Now you will have some climbing to do in the next room. Once you reach the top and head up the stairs, you will be greeted by a pirate, kill whilst shooting from the hip. Passed him there will be a zipwire, which you can use to gain access to the Customs' House. Once inside, shoot the padlock and kick open the door to let Elena in.

Head up the stairs and continue through to the next room by dropping down, when you enter the following room you will be greeted by a cutscene. As soon as it ends, head up the stairs and into the next room. Make sure you are aiming with your gun, as pirate will spring out of nowhere. Deal with him and then take cover by the doorway where he entered. Peep out and kill both of the pirates who are on the stairs opposite. Once they have been killed, stand underneath the doorway and take cover to the left (see the picture below):

 

ZMLZfIb.gif

 

You will now have to kill 2 pirates on the ground and there will be some more above them. Once the area is clear, exit cover and proceed to where they were. Make sure you are aiming your gun and head just round the corner. Scout out the pirate who is on the stairway, kill him quickly as he's armed with a RPG. Once he has been dealt with that should be it for pirates, head up the stairs where he was and use the chain switch. It will open a door to your right. Head through and shoot the lock on the double doors, then kick them down. After the cutscene you will now have pirates shooting at you from inside, ignore them and jump from platform to platform. When you reach a set of double doors at the end, shoot the lock off and jump inside. Use the chain switch to open the next door and this will conclude the Chapter.

 

Head down the steps and take the cover which is right in front of you. There will also be some weapons which you can pick up from here. Watch out for the pirate who will try and walk towards you on your right side, kill him via blind fire. Pick up his Wes if you can and then look to your left and pick off any pirates who are visible. From your covering position look all the way down to the far side of the room and there will be pirate stood on a high level. Kill him and stay in cover. Keep scanning left to right, more pirates should advanced towards you. Ideally you are going to need to perform 4 or 5 kills before you can move forwards yourself. Once you have killed few, head back to the steps and just behind them is a sniper rifle, pick it up and run to the cover point just to the left of the one where you was originally stationed (see the picture below):

 

LTEZrcB.gif

 

Now from this position you should be in the viewpoint of the gun turret. Wait until he stops firing and then aim with your sniper, you should be able kill him by firing a bullet into his groin or leg. Now soon as he is dead, providing there is no one else visible to kill, dash down the left side and take immediate cover by the pillar (see the picture below):

 

G8AOHZX.gif

 

There should be one solitary pirate near the stairs, kill him then run up the stairs to the turret ready for the next wave of pirates. Take over the turret and keep firing, kill all of the inbound pirates who appear from stairs where you entered the room. The music will come to it's climax, this will indicate that the area is clear, stock up on ammo and then use the chain switch near the turret to gain access to the next area. Continue until you are reacquainted with Elena and then head up the stairs to your right. A pirate will jump out, act quickly and kill him whilst shooting from the hip. Where that pirate was take cover and try to kill some pirates, your view will be obstructed but you can see some pirates moving about (see the picture below):

 

QrmudZ6.gif

 

If you look up there will be some some stairs, throw some grenades where the pirates are firing from and if well placed, this should deal with them and therefore clear the area. Beware of the pirate who lurks near the second set of steps as he is armed with an RPG. Just be patient and either throw a grenade or shoot to kill him whilst in cover. As soon as the area is clear, head up the stairs and take a left through the open doorway. Continue across the bridge, then head through some rooms till you can climb back outside. Keep running forwards and you will catch up with a patrolling pirate who is walking with his back turned. Run up behind and kill him then head up the nearby steps and halfway up you'll see a pirate kill him by shooting from the hip and proceed forwards through an open door leading you back outside. Take a right through as open archway and kill the solitary pirate whilst shooting from the hip and then take immediate cover by the open door to your left (see the picture below):

 

JgJGnSp.gif

 

There will be three more pirates for you to kill, one is well hidden on your left but you can easily make all of the kills from your current covering position. Now you have got to make your last trip on the jet ski and there is an easy workaround. All you have to do is to go full speed ahead and just continuously shoot blind as you power through the river. Furthermore do not bash into the sides or any rocks, as this will cause a delay and may result in your death. You will indeed come close to death but I can assure that this works and it is no fluke. Take breaks in the quiet areas for your health to recover and as long as you do not relent from firing and keeping your foot on the throttle, then this will work indefinitely.

Head up some steps and continue forwards until you reach a big door then kick it down, there will be a batch of pirates who have been waiting for your arrival. Do not hesitate and take the cover which is directly in front of you. There are pirates to your left and right, deal with them all starting with the one which is closest to you. As soon as the area is clear, run across the bridge and up the steps. At the top kick the gate down and the game will force you to walk, leading you to another cutscene. After that walk up another set of steps but make sure you are aiming as you walk. Keep your eyes peeled as there will be a guard at the top, kill him then run back down the steps. Wait for a second though as a guard may run down them, if not continue back up the steps and there will be one more guard to kill. As soon as he is dead, take immediate cover to the right of the stairs because more guards will enter the area. These guys are harder to kill and are much more accurate with their aim than the pirates are, plus they wield more powerful weapons. From your covering position, deal with all of the guards and be patient when doing so. Now head up a couple flights of steps, until you reach the end where you can drop down to a lower level. There will be a short cutscene, after this do not drop down just yet but take the cover to your right and open fire on the two guards below. Kill them both and then drop down but soon as you drop down you will be greeted by two more guards. One of them will be quite close to you and he will be on your left. Deal with him first by shooting from the hip and then run right up to him and finish him off with a melee attack. Now take cover by the pillar which is nearby your current position, the last guard will loitering near the doorway. Pause for a second then open fire, you really need to be sharp when dealing with these guards because if they shot at you with their laser sighted guns, it is a one shot kill scenario. Now enter where the guards were coming from, head left and then take a right. Run all the way down and take cover near the boxes (see the picture below):

 

3IGcJjX.gif

 

Guards will now be flooding in but because you are in a secluded area, they will thankfully go for Elena who is right in no man's land. Look through the open window and open fire on the guards who appear at centre of the court, get as many kills as you can. Also, feel free to exit cover from the boxes and take cover underneath the open window for a better view of the courtyard. Keep wits about you because sooner or later the guards will latch on to where you are and will surround the area where you previously ran down. When this happens take cover behind the crates but this on the other side so you are free from being shot at then deal with the guards who surround the area. Once it is clear, take cover on the wall just opposite the crates and look round the corner. Just above there will be one more guard who is well hidden but he is always there, deal with him before he spots you. Now backtrack up passed the crates and about halfway up, take cover on your right. Up the the stairs there will be two or three guards at the top, from your cover point, deal with them. Now there are probably more guards in the courtyard, be a man and let Elena deal with them. Head up the steps and on right is another room. In it there will be a guard waiting for you down the stairs. You can either run in kill him with a shot whilst shooting from the hip or you can get his attention by running in and out and then taking cover and killing him soon as he heads towards the door. Elena will return when once he's dead so go to the right from where you entered the room, you will have some climbing to do. Once you make your way to the other side there will be gate, check to see if there is a guard stood there, if there is then kill him before kicking down the gate. Proceed forwards and take the first left, drop down to ground floor and underneath where you were stood are some barrels so shoot them to give Elena access to where you are. To your right try to use the chain switch but you will fail, then Elena will do it as you sneak under the door to hold to it. Now into the next area, you can easily avoid the showdown with the next set of guards by running down the steps and taking the cover in front of you. Behind this cover there will be a sniper rifle, pick it up and snipe the sniper who is straight ahead of where you are, you can not miss him as his laser will be beaming towards you. Once he is dead, exit cover and head towards the steps on your right. At the top continue forwards, you should be safe from any attack, continue all the way round till a cutscene begins and you then have completed the Chapter.

 

Inside the library take a immediate cover which is directly in front of your starting position. From your cover, kill the guard who diagonally across from where you are and then quickly kill the guard who is just on your left. You are going to have to do your shooting in short bursts because you will have guards with laser sighted weapons surrounding you. Have a look down on your left to the next level and there should be a guard in open view, kill him. Now still in the same covering position, you will see a number of guards running about down bellow, it is a bit of a cat and mouse game here, you are going to have to be patient but try and kill as many as you can. Also be careful of the guard who has a RPG, if you can identify and kill him early then do so. As soon as it is impossible to make any more kills from where you are, make a move to the next corner of the room and take cover. Have a scout round and see if you have a clear shot on a guard, if not move to the next corner of the room. Keep doing this until the area is clear then when it is, a cutscene will begin.

 

Library Puzzles

 

The statue puzzle is really easy. Simply look at your notebook and it will display 4 pictures, these will be deliberately faced a certain a way. Now on the opposite page you will have a compass and under North, East, South and West is name which corresponds to the pictures. To complete puzzle you must turn all statues so that they are facing the correct position. For example the statue of John is facing East. Find the statue of John and turn it so it faces East, furthermore you have a giant compass imprinted on the library floor which will aid you when turning the statues in the correct position.

 

After completing this puzzle you will move into the next room and in this room on your right are two switches, turn them both round in order to open a secret door which will take you into the next chapter.

Run down the steps and head through the ruins, you will be able to climb up onto a pathway and run down it see a massive pit. Look to your right and you will be able to shimmy across the ledge. Navigate your way round the pit to the other side, climb up the nearby stairs and grab the gun on the crates. As soon as you pick up the gun, guards will ambush you, quickly run back down the stairs and drop down the ledge. Now the guards will lurk at the top of the stairs or near the waterfall. Pick them off as you hang from the ledge, this is the safest way to clear the area. Soon as it is safe return back up the stairs and there will be a chain switch on the other side, pull it to open the door which will then lead you inside the Church. Take immediate cover near the seating, now pick off a guard closest to you and try to kill him with a headshot. As soon as you fire, the Church will now become a battle zone. One or two guards will immediately surround the area where you are hiding in cover. Deal with them first through shooting blind from your covering position, you can pop your head out and kill them but beware of the snipers! Once the nearby guards have been dealt with make a move down the Church and take cover behind some seating, your movement will tempt more guards to run towards you so kill any who dares to surround you. Now to deal with the snipers, you going to have fire at them in short bursts as they are unfunny accurate and one shot from them will kill you. Once the area is clear, run halfway down the alter and another wave of guards will surface. As soon as they appear make a dash back up the church and take cover. A few guards will surround you so kill them by shooting blind, if you happen to have the shotgun then that is quite handy as it is one shot kill providing they are close enough. As soon as the wave has been dealt with, head down the Church and to your left and right there will be a bell. Shoot both quickly to unveil a secret door and through this will be a ladder, climb down the ladder to start the next Chapter.

 

Now through these ruins you will be greeted by guards but do not run right into the battle zone, just take cover by the doorway and fire in. Kill anything that moves before you enter, you may not get everyone but it makes things easier to deal with anyone who is left as you enter the ruin. In the next ruin there are only 3 guards so just run in and shoot from the hip. Two guards will be in plain sight, kill them and then head to the far right of ruin and there will be one more guard hiding. Now climb up where he was and you will find yourself in a massive ruin. Here you have got to jump from platform to platform till you enter a small cave and a cutscene will begin. Once it has finished proceed forwards through some more ruins, you will encounter a door, just in front of it is a chain switch pull it to open the door leading you back outside and to start the following Chapter.

 

Head up the steps, take a left and there will be a ledge for you to grab onto. Navigate around the Church's exterior till you climb through the window. Soon as you drop down you will come under a attack, it advisable to die just so you can restart the checkpoint which in effect will give you more time to launch some mode of an attack. Take the cover on your left and keep a beady eye on the the doorway. Guards will appear, act quickly and kill them from your covering position. Now you can't kill everyone from where you are but when it is partially safe, exit cover and advance through the doorway and take cover by the crate which is directly in front of you. Your movement will interest more guards and they will come running out into the open, kill them before advancing forwards. At the end there will be a hole in the wall, enter and you will find the room very familiar. Here you will want to exit through the doorway on the far left, upon exiting head up the adjacent steps and take an immediate right. Here look out for some ledges to your right which you can climb onto, navigate these quickly till you come across a vine, climb up it and jump through the window leading you back inside the church. Once inside take immediate cover by the seating in front you as two guards will greet you, throw a grenade blind and this should deal with them. Now head where they were and to your left you will be able to jump to a ledge. Now you are going to have to navigate your way to the other side of the Church through jumping from ledge to ledge and from platform to platform. Once you reach the other side of the Church you should find yourself at the centre on a chandelier, there are two large keys which you will need hang from in order to open a secret door. One key will be on the far left and the other is on the far right. Make your way to the one on your left first and then head towards the one to your right. After pressing down the key on your right, you can make your way to the open door, by climbing onto the ledge just to the left of the key. Shimmy round and jump to the chain, then leap to a small ledge. Once you are on the ledge you can be jump backwards onto the door. Head inside and to your left will be a heart-shaped glassed window which has some significance. As soon as you approach it a cutscene will begin and you will return to the Church's exterior.

 

Make you way back down to ground floor and pick up the sniper rifle on the crates. From the crates aim with your sniper rifle and if you look just down to your left there will be a guard stood still with his back turned. Snipe him in the head and now the whole place will explode with gunfire. Take cover behind the crates and use the scope on your sniper rifle. You will see a sniper's red laser beaming out from the other side of the graveyard just on top of the steps, kill him. There is also another guard who runs down the steps, kill him if you able to get a clear shot at him. After making these kills, pause for a second and look to the right of the crates. One or two guards will try to sneak up on you, kill them before they get the chance. Now aim your sniper rifle directly through the railings which are in front crates. Scan through these railings and you should be able to pick out a guard on the other side. Now just head towards the railing and you will be able to take cover just to the left of them. Have a look through your scope for some more guards and if there are any then kill them, I manage to get one more kill. Now proceed past the crates towards some steps, do not go down them but instead take cover to your right of the steps (see the picture below):

 

oaKOrLf.gif

 

Some guards will spot you and surround the bottom of the steps, there will only be one or two guards so deal with them by blind shooting. Now this should be everyone dead for now, head down the steps, but approach with caution, just in case if there is anyone left. Pick up a shotgun if there is one and make your way over to the steps on the far side, head up them but soon as you reach the top, go straight back down and take cover (see the picture below):

 

fj5kS1c.gif

 

As soon as you see guards at the top of the steps, through a grenade up there and hopefully this will deal with a large portion of them. Now some of the guards will head down the steps and advance towards you. Kill them with your shotgun, hopefully the grenade did most of the killing so you should only need to make one or two more kills. Once the area is clear, head up the steps and run through the graveyard and enter the building at the end.

 

Picture Puzzle

 

Now for another simple puzzle. On each coffin there is a picture of something which you can rotate. The game will prompt you to check your notebook, when you check it, it will display all of the pictures that are featured in this room. To complete this puzzle, study all of the pictures in your notebook carefully and look to see what picture is facing where. For example if your notebook shows a snake and it's head is pointing upwards, then you will have to rotate the picture of the snake in the room so that its head is facing upwards. Once all pictures are facing the correct way a secret door will open and this will conclude the Chapter.

Continue down the steps with Elena by your side and you will find yourself in a massive room. Head down the steps, the game will force you to walk, keeps moving till you can make a jump down to your left. You will now be right in the centre of the room, from here head up either of the two sets of steps which are side by side. At the top turn left and keep running until the the end. You will reach a small set of steps, head down them and right in front of you, you will be able to climb up the wall. At the top head straight on and up some more steps. Move further forwards and the game will prompt you to rotate this large wheel. In doing this will light up and activate all of the lanterns. Turn round and head back down the steps, on your right you will able to climb a chain to the next level. Up here proceed forwards, bypass the lantern but be sure to time your movement correctly otherwise you will get hit by swinging lantern which will result in your death. Pass the lantern and head underneath the archway, look to your left and you will see some steps so drop down to them then run up. Head right to the end where you can climb up onto platform, wait till the lantern swings to the right then quickly climb and make jump to the left onto another pathway.

 

Continue along this pathway all the way round until you reach some more steps, run up them and then continue briefly forwards, then go down some more steps. Lookout to your left you will be able to jump down to another pathway. Continue forwards and you will reach another batch of swinging lanterns, bypass them all with perfect timing then a short cutscene will begin afterwards. Once you have fallen down, hop over to the nearby platform and head towards some more swinging lanterns. It's quite tricky to time this one but bypass them and head left, continue forwards till you reach an elevator. As soon as you stand on it, you will drop back down to ground level. Exit the elevator and head up the stairs to your right, climb up the ledges to make your way to the newly opened window. Drop down on the other side, now to your right is a chain which you can climb, at the top head onto another elevator and this drop back down to the ground. This will now open up the big gate which will grant Elena access to where you are. Head up the nearby ramp and continue moving till a cutscene begins. You will be greeted by an old foe and subsequently ambushed by some fearsome pirates. Immediately take cover to your left, you can deal with around 80% of the pirates from this covering position. Look just up the steps and there will be a pirate stood in the open, deal with him first. Now on your far right, look and there will be a pirate on a higher level, kill him as well. Look at the top of the steps again where you killed the first pirate and there should be another one there, kill him. The easy kills have been made, now it is up to you to move up and down along your covering position and scout out any pirates who are on the other side and kill them. Like I said, you can not kill everyone but you can make significant inroads. Once you are content that you have made all of the kills possible from you covering position. Head up the steps but whilst you do, aim with your weapon and soon as you get to the top there will more than likely be a pirate diagonally to your left so kill him. Hopefully that will be everyone for now, run straight across the room and head down keeping to the far right. You will now come under attack from two pirate who wield RPGs. Keep to the wall to ensure that you are safe and once you reach the corner take cover (see the picture below):

 

R5KnLIJ.gif

 

Take out out both of the pirates who have the RPGs but be careful as they can kill you in an instant, you may have to run back to the wall to the far right in order to be 100% safe so you can restore any health loss. When the area is clear, you can jump to the ledge to the left from where they were stood. As soon as you encounter some steps, be wary of the pirate who will jump out in front of you, kill him quickly whilst shooting from the hip then climb up the steps. Up here you will be able to activate the ladders which will reacquaint you with Elena, after this you need to turn round and climb up the following ladder to the next level. You now come under attack from some pirates who are on the other side. Immediately take cover and kill them all and then head up the spiral ramp, until you come across some more pirates. There will be one to your left on a lower level, kill him then look to your right to scout out another isolated pirate who will be firing rockets towards you, kill him before you proceed to the lower level. Take a right, heading up the spiral ramp and continue until a cutscene begins; you will then have completed the Chapter.

 

Now you are going to have to deal with a new enemy, these zombie creatures are evil to the core and if if they hit you, you will die. The only tip I can give when dealing these beasts, is to never aim and shoot, always shoot from the hip. The creatures are very quick in regards to movement so you simply don't have the time to aim and shoot. For this first encounter you will have to survive until Elena can position a rope at the centre of the room for you to climb, you will roughly have to endure around about 5 minutes of this attack. Furthermore the creatures will keep on spawning, you can not kill them all as they will keep on coming so soon as you can climb the rope, the better! Next you are going to have to do some running but do not worry it will only be for a brief period. The creatures will be following you so run and shoot to thwart their advances then after 20 or so seconds of running a cutscene will begin and you will then start the next Chapter.

 

Peep out of the large window and you will see a pipe which you can jump to, now you will have some ledges to negotiate. Do so and you will be able to make your way to the other side of the bunker. Next you will enter some darkened tunnels, which are very scary indeed. Keep moving through these, there are one or two dead ends but sooner you later you will find a large room with a projector in the middle. This is no use to you, well not yet but be sure to pick up some ammo which lies on the floor and exit through the open door to your left. You will now come under attack from about 4 or 5 creatures, kill by shooting from the hip. Now move through these tunnels till you find another large room which has generator in it, turn its handle to complete this Chapter.

 

You will come under attack from a new batch of zombie creatures. You are going to have to act like a man possessed and run round the room like a headless chicken, killing everything that moves. As soon as the room is clear, there are two rooms; one to your right and the other is to your left. Pick one and quickly use the switch and as soon as you press it, return to the main room as quickly as possible because there will be a new wave of creatures. If you stay too long near the switch they will quickly flood the narrow corridor, which make things incredibly tricky. Back in the main room, kill all of the creatures till it is clear then make your way to the next side room and repeat the process which you did for the first switch but when you return to the main room, you do not have to kill all of the zombie creatures, instead, you can just exit through the newly opened door and Drake will automatically close it. Now head through these zombie-free tunnels and make your way back to the room which has the projector. As soon as you enter, a cutscene will begin and then afterwards you will have deal with another ambush from the zombie creatures. Once the room is a clear, there is a door which you can open by turning it's valve. This will return you back to the tower, approach the large window and a cutscene will begin. After this you will come under attack from some guards at the top of the steps. Take cover behind the container just opposite them and throw a grenade towards them, if it is well placed then this will deal with them.

 

Proceed down the stairs and about halfway down another guard will jump out, kill him by shooting from the hip. Then take immediate cover and you will see at the bottom of the stairs there are a mixture of guards and zombie creatures fighting each other. Open fire on them and clear the area before you head down. Be on high alert as there may be one or two zombie creatures lurking about. Stock up on some ammo and head left and take cover on the corner. Look round there will be tower to your far right which is occupied by a sniper, kill him before proceeding forwards. As you draw nearer to the large crates, more creatures will come running towards you so kill them whilst shooting from the hip. Once through the crates more creatures will appear, deal with them and make your way to some steps. Head up them and you will be thronged into a battle, shoot from the hip and kill the creatures and guards who are near you. If you are close to dying, quickly retreat back down the steps. Once the area at the top of the steps is clear, take the sniper rifle which is lying on the nearby crates and head back down the steps. Aim your sniper rifle through the steps and you will be able to kill the remainder of guards who are on the other side of the room. After they are all dead or if you run out of sniper ammo, head back up the steps and kill anyone who is still there. Head forwards and look to your right where there will be some crates, behind these crates will be more enemies but hang back and wait for them to come to you.

You can kill some of the guards whilst their backs are turned but just have your wits about you, as some of the zombie creatures will spot you and they will try to run right up to you and attempt to kill you. Last thing that you will not want to do is to start running around through the crates, as there is a sniper present and you will then be within his range. You can hide behind some of the crates and out of his range in order to kill some of the guards who are further down but as a rule of thumb try to kill everyone whilst not in the battle zone. Once the area is clear then deal with the sniper but if you are short on ammo, you may want to consider running past the crates and on the other side there is another sniper rifle lying on some smaller crates to your right. Once he has been dealt with proceed beyond the crates and take right. Two more zombie creatures will great you deal with them and then climb over the wall. On the other side to your left there will be a ladder, climb it to return back outside and you will begin the next Chapter.

Now we are coming up to a real tough part, head forwards and drop down to the square. Now proceed towards the square of the church, take cover to your right, peep round and kill the nearby guards – there should be two of them. Quickly head to where they were and pick up their ammo, then quickly backtrack to the small square where you dropped down to at the start of the chapter. Wait here for a couple of seconds and keep an eye out for some guards who will be trying to find you, surprise them and start shooting from the square. Once it is safe, go over to one of the guards and pick up his RPG, then take cover on the same corner again. Peep out and you see some guards trying to kill Sully. Fire the RPG at them then once they're dead, swap your weapon for a M4 and head back through the passage. A new wave of guards will greet you at the end so if you can kill them then brilliant but more than likely you will die, if you do then don't worry as your hard work will not have been in vain as you will restart with Sully and you will only have to deal with the last wave guards. Now quickly take cover by the nearby squared stone, stay in cover on the side where the sniper is and pick it up. Now look straight down, there will be two guards, deal with these ASAP. The others will be occupied by trying to kill Sully. Now there are two snipers which you will need to deal with and their lasers will be hovering near you, deal with them and at the same time you should be able to get a shot on another guard from where you first entered the main square. When doing this keep a lookout on the other side where you killed those two guards, as one or two more guards will make their way there. You really need to be on your game for this battle, because not only are there two snipers but there are guards who you will have to kill from two possible directions. The quicker you are at dealing with this threat, then the more chance that you will survive. If you open fire and miss them, then this will draw even more guards towards you and this will inevitability result in your death. Once the area is clear, scavenge around for ammo and grenades and then head up the steps to enter the church. As soon as you enter, you will hear some guards, immediately exit the church veer to the right and jump off the steps. Head towards the nearest cover and hold station (see the picture below):

You will see a guard exiting the church, kill him before he approaches you and then change cover so that you are directly facing the steps. You will be able to look up the steps and into the church. You will see one of the sniper's lasers. Kill him with your handgun, now just hold for a minute and wait and see if any more guards come out, sometimes Sully will kill them from inside the Church, hopefully he will do that for you. Once you think it is safe, head up the steps and into the Church and take cover behind the bench to your right where Sully is. This is a precaution just in case there are some guards still about but if there is just the snipers aiming with their lasers from above, exit cover and run to the pillar on the far left. Propped up against it will be a sniper rifle, use it to deal with the snipers. Once they all dead, quickly search for some more ammo and exit the church immediately and take cover. More guards will surround Sully and soon as you see them, launch a grenade up the stairs. This will draw out the guards, act sharply and kill them before they reach you. Some of guards will just stand still on the steps, you may want to throw a grenade at them, because you will more than likely be low on ammo. After killing a couple, run to the nearest dead guard and take his weapon. Fire towards the church's doorway this should draw out another guard, deal with him before climbing back up the steps. Re-enter the Church and dart over to the right and take cover with Sully. There will be one or guards left who will be hiding in cover near the seating area of the Church, kill them both and proceed down the alter. Now you are going to be ambushed by another wave of guards, they will be coming from the front of the Church. By all means try to deal with them but I would recommend dying because you will restarting in an advantageous position which is right at the back of the church so soon as you restart, pick up the handgun bullets off the floor then turn round and take cover behind the pillar. About 3 or so guards will be advancing towards you, be brave and kill them as they approach. Be careful of the snipers with laser sights and one or two guards may get right up close to you, this can easily be dealt with by shooting blind. Once all of the grounded guards have been dealt with, kill the sniper who is above and now that the area is clear, head directly behind you to a stoned table which will then activate a cutscene. Onto the next chapter, head down the hole and head through the empty ruins till you encounter another cutscene. After this, run down the steps to your left and on the lower level you will need to head to the far right and up some more steps. On your travels, you will encounter zombie creatures and guards, shoot from the hip but by no means should you stop to kill any. You must keep on running, once you make your way to the top of the steps, you will see a giant coffin which is being lifted up into the air, jump off the stairs and the game will cut to another scene and you will then have completed this Chapter.

 

Immediately take cover behind the fragile crates. It is impossible to kill Navarro until the very end of the game so do not bother and lastly, after a few shots at the particular crate which you are taking cover behind, it will will break so be quick to react if it does. One final important tip for this final stage, never try to shoot when Navarro is shooting, as you will die with one shot because he rarely misses. Now patiently kill off Navarro's henchman but wait till he reloads before you make your move. If you take too long one of them will make a charge towards you which is not too problematic if someone does, just shoot blind when he comes near you. Once they are all dead Navarro will run off, pick up the ammo from the floor before moving off to the next area. Climb over the crates but then quickly climb back over them and aim with your AK, kill anyone who you see then climb back onto the crates to pick out some more henchman. After you have killed 2 or 3 then a another group of guards will come charging out and shoot at you, quickly drop off the crates as you will incur heavy fire. Now stand back onto the crates and there should be two other guards which you can kill who are taking cover on a crate on the other side. After you have killed them, that is pretty much all you can do from here so run out into the open take cover behind the next set of the crates. The little trick of standing on the set of the crates is very helpful, because what it does is that it will protect you from Navarro. Now you should only have one or two guards left to kill, in order to make Navarro run away again. Onto next part, after the cutscene, immediately take cover and you will see a guard running down the steps and out into the open looking for cover. This provides an excellent opportunity to kill him whilst he is vulnerable. Another guard will run down the stairs, do the same for him if you can. After the second guard has been killed, look above Navarro and a guard will suddenly appear, who will be armed with an RPG so deal with him ASAP. Now there is one guard left so kill him to advance to the final showdown of the game. This is the easiest bit of the Chapter, take cover behind the crates and slide to the right ready to roll to the next set of crates. Allow Navarro to shoot at you then soon as he reloads, that is when you will need to make your move and the same again. Allow Navarro to shoot at you, then soon as he reloads it's time to jump over the crates to the next set. When Navarro shoots at the third set of crates, the final will break the crates. As soon as this happens run right over to him and punch him to activate a short QTE. As soon as this ends, be ready to make another charge towards him and punch him to activate the final QTE.

Wow, those are some impressive walls of text.

It looks like you've got a lot of excellent info in there, but it didn't take me long to get sick of reading it. Might pay to chuck one or two paragraph breaks in there maybe, it looks like it'd be hell to follow if you were using it as your guide the way it is now.

 

Don't mean to offend you, you've obviously put in a lot of effort :o

just trying to offer some constructive criticism.

 

Keep it up :applause:

Fair comment. I was conscious of this, but I thought by having the pictures, banners and videos it would break up the text adequately.

Thanks to your guide, Dr.HelmutMarko, I was able to finish the crushing mode and obtain my plat months ago. However as I played the mode, I figured out few things that could help make the walkthrough bit easier.

 

 

Chapter 8

During the bridge ambush, kill two pirates but DO NOT DETONATE the explosive red barrels. Then run across the bridge, but instead of backtracking to cover as suggested in the guide, run all way to the side of the building in front of the bridge and aim at the explosive red barrels and wait. As soon as you see a pirate appear, shoot the barrels. The resulting explosion will wipe out almost everyone in the group, leaving only one in the back to deal with.

 

After dealing with RPG guy and pirates around the corner, hang off the ledge of the block where the RPG guy was that's un front of doorways, and kill the pirate that's lurking in the left doorway. Then jump and cover behind the barrier, and kill the pirate crouching behind a barrier below. Now grab the RPG weapon left behind by RPG pirate earlier and tease-run the doorway. A pair of shotgun-toting pirates will appear (they can one-shot you at close range) so use the RPG on them both to save yourself time and ammo. Now tease the door once more again and go back to the block ledge and hang off it once more again to kill two pirates hiding behind the doorway.

 

 

Chapter 11

During the battle in staircase in chapter 10, make sure to grab RPG launcher. Now as soon as you get to chapter 11, use it to kill the machine turret guy, leaving you free to focus on enemies on ground.

 

Chapter 13: Before knocking down the door at the beginning of the chapter, you can shoot through gap in the door and kill pirate standing in front of the door, and another one to far left before knocking it down. Aftewards, knock down the door an eliminate any pirates that's left.

 

Chapter 14: Upon entering church from ruins, do not start firing or enter the battlefield. Instead, hop across the first set of bench and hide behind the column. Wait for the soldier in front walk deeper into church with his back to you, and for the soldier to left walk toward the column directly to your left. Sometimes he will briefly loiter among the benches, other times he will contiune walking past the column- either way, as soon as his back is turned to you, run around the column towards him and silent-kill him from behind. Now wait for the first soldier to walk back towards the columns while keeping out of his sight. As soon as he passes through both columns, quickly silent-kill him from behind. Make your way to the column that's behind the sitting soldier who has his back to you. Keep eye on the laser-sight soldier that's on the far right and wait for him to turn his back to you; as soon as he does, quickly round the bench from right to force the soldier to stand up. At this point you'll either silent-kill or melee-kill him. Depending on your luck, you may be able to do this without alerting rest of soldiers. Either way, you'll have 3 less soldiers to deal with, conserving your ammo and health.

 

Oh by the way, the second set of columns from the front of church is the trigger point for next wave of soldiers.

 

Chapter 15

In graveyard, another way is once clearing the intital group and instead of climbing up the staircase to trigger next wave of soldiers (especially if you have no grenades, which was in my case), climb up the gap in fence along the wall to right of the staircase and quickly hang down and try to kill as much of soldiers with your handgun as you can. You'll be mostly safe from that position unless one of them goes down the staircase and flanks you- which is why you need to kill as many as you can because you can then climb up and take shelter with good vantage point of the staircase where you can pick them off as they climb up.

 

Chapter 16

"Head right to the end where you can climb up onto platform, wait till the lantern swings to the right then quickly climb and make jump to the left onto another pathway. " Easier way, don't do that and just jump across the chasm and latch to ledge, then scuff along until clear of double lantern.

Great guide, the water room was one of two places I had trouble on hard so for crushing I checked t see your way and it worked like a charm. I have no clue how people figure these things out though, seems so random to back track and shoot a truck. But anyway thanks.

 

Thank you. The Water Room tip is pretty awesome and it does make you wonder how someone found that out, must be a coincidence!

 

Well done if you got your (P)

Thanks, finished up last night. Was also a very good tips in chapter 20-22, they are just tough I thought with so many guys coming from everywhere but ended up doing those easier than I did on hard before reading the guide. Now for Uncharted 2.

 

What chapter did you find hardest?

For me it were chapter 4, that was a bitch!

Great guide. Finished the game twice on crushing and no trophy... Anyone have an idea why?

 

That must be really frustrating!

Erm, the only things I can think of, is the basic stuff like: did you start a New Game or during your playthrough did you do some chapter selecting under an easier difficulty. Apart from that, I dunno what it could be, because I have not known this trophy to glitch ever before.
