Once you reach the Hidden City, a side mission will become available - one of the rewards is unlocking a special Merchant who exclusively sells the Lockpick. To unlock this Merchant, refer to our guide on completing the Skill of the Player side mission. When you’ve purchased the Lockpick, you can begin your hunt for the treasure chests. A cutscene will play out and you'll meet the queen of the city, Unuratu, you'll find out that the boy is her son, Etzli, and that the hidden city is called Paititi. She'll tell you the place you're. You'll only find three tombs in The Hidden City. The first will be to the very south of the city in an underground water cavern. Completing this tomb grants the skill 'Haotzin's Hunger' The second. This part of the Shadow of the Tomb Raider walkthrough is devoted to the Changing the Weather challenge: destroy 5 frog totems.Warning, as it is normally impossible to use a weapon in Paititi, you will have to aim very precisely the support of the totem to use your bow.

Jump off all four high dives. The high dives look like makeshift diving boards. To swan dive, press [spacebar] followed by [C].
1/4 – As you first enter [], after completing the section where you have to grapple axe and swing.
2/4 – In the north west corner of the area with the abandoned huts, there is a wall you can scramble up. Shoot a rope arrow to the platform across the water, complete the climb to the high dive, and swan dive into the pond from it.
Note: There is a crypt here, the crypt icon on the map might help you find the right location.
3/4 – This one requires some serious exploration to find, but hopefully the images below will help you.
4/4 – When standing by the altar by the rice fields in the northernmost part of Paititi, you can see a barrier to your left. Break the barrier to gain access to the high dive. Note: This requires the enhanced knife which can cut braided rope.

Trial of the Jaguar: Go downstairs and dive into the water. Swim underwater, after a while you’ll have to swim through a very narrow space. After exiting the narrow space take a breath from the trapped air pocket and continue swimming forward. You’ll be attacked by an eel. After killing the eel you’ll come across the 2nd trapped air pocket just after which you can see light coming from a narrow space. Swim through the narrow space and surface to complete the trial of the Jaguar.
Trial of the Spider: Walk on the wooden platform until you reach the end, then jump forward to grab the ledge on the wall (which has carvings on it). Move right, grabbing the ledges, and at the end jump right to grab the craggy wall. Move up the craggy wall and climb the surface. After walking few steps climb up the ledge on the right (You can continue walking forward as well. Both paths lead to the same point) and crouch forward. Then jump, use grappling hook to swing forward and grab the ledge n front. Climb up and exit the cave to complete the trial of the spider.

- Destroy the debris in the way by using a Rope Tether and pulling. This will reveal a lever.
- Fire another Rope Tether at the lever and pull. A passage opens to the right.
- To the left of the “sail” is a coil of ropes; fire another Rope Tether at the lever and attach it to the rope coil so it does not close the passage.
- Rope Tether the “sail” to the rope coil at the central machinery.
- Begin climbing as before, making sure to avoid the mechanisms and waiting for opportune moments to climb.

Jump on the rod and swing-jump from it to grab the ledge in front. Continue walking to reach the outskirts of the hidden city. From here you need to cross the valley by swinging across it using the grappling axe (Note: Throw the grapple axe while jumping to swing across. While swinging, Lara will automatically leave the grappling-rope to jump forward. Throw the grappling axe again to hold on to the next hanging structure and swing forward).
