Coastal Forest

All collectables for this area are at the bottom of this page.

When starting off in this area, you will be looking for shelter . Work your way on a mountain path and come across a deserted fire. After the cut-scene follow the trail and you will come across a body hanging with a bow on it. Press the instinct button, a yellow beacon will show up underneath the corpse. This is an indicator of where to climb up. Before you do this you can find a GPS Cache (53N 712351 UTM3416071) to your right on a rock formation, next to the one with the tree limb where you would be grabbing for the Bow.

When you climb up to get the bow wait for the body to swing toward you before grabbing for it. Once you have it you will smack to the ground... again. After you have the bow, there is a Skull hanging from the other end of the tree shoot that to start Ghost Hunter. That's one of the ten totems down.

Next, you will have to shoot a deer (Aim for the body not the head). After approaching your kill collect your meat. Before heading back to the camp fire look around the perimeter for some bushes with fruits on them to salvage, I believe there are at least 2 (you will need it in a bit) Now head to the back of the forest where you found the GPS Cache look up and use survivors instinct you should see another totem skull. Now make your way back to the campfire. When you upgrade, I recommend the 'Advanced Salvaging' or 'Bone Collector' skill first, Bone Collector will make it easy to farm XP and salvage as well.

After you get to the campfire and watch the cut scene before you head to where you saw the hanging body turn around and head down the path along the cliff, now look to the right if you can't see it use your survivors instinct and shoot another skull totem. Now head towards the bunker and You will hear music coming from the inside, so go ahead and inspect it. You will see a manmade tunnel leading down under the bunker; the door will slam leaving you down the only way to go.

Make your way through the water and into a room with chalk drawing and gear. Go into the joining room to find a manmade sickle stuck in some meat (flesh?). After taking it out use it to pry open the door behind you, before you pry open and head down the door to your left you can head back to the door that closed on you earlier and pry it open, when you do you'll notice that some of the arrows have respawned you can collect them if you're low. Then head back to the other door down the manmade tunnel. But before you head through it you can find the HANNYA MASK Relic on the desk to the right of the door & some salvage by opening the red box on the floor to the left of the door. Now that you are through the door make your way toward the dead end and then look right and jump up to the ladder. You will emerge and hear familiar voices...

After meeting up with Sam and a stranger, Metheus, Lara will fall asleep and awaken to her friend and the stranger gone; she will go and look for them and then be caught in a bear trap. If you familiarized yourself with the shooting mechanics this part is simple. Three wolves will jump out of the bushes at different times. Each one is preceded by bushes rustling or bird flying out of the spot where they will leap from. After killing the wolves you friends will find you and help you escape the trap. The team will split up and go look for your friend.

After falling asleep... again, you will have to go look for Whitman, who had stayed with you to help find Sam. Before you do anything press square at the fire and one of Lara's Journals will be added to your collection. Once you are up and around look on the table adjacent to you, there will be one of Sam’s Endurance Crew Documents (53N 712365 UTM 3416101). From here go to the lamp behind you and light your torch, then set the hanging bunch of junk ablaze to salvage some things. Now, you will see two sets of arrows in front of you, but before you jump up on the ledge turn the camera to the left to see a big silver container (you cannot open it until you upgrade your axe with salvage) now follow the path where the arrows were, jump to the next rock and look left to find another GPS Cache.(53N 712375 UTM 3416100). Drop off the rock and you will hear Whitman's voice. From where you dropped off the rock keep going straight to the right side of the bridge ahead and there will be another
Endurance Crew Document (53N 712386 UTM 3416100).  Next to the other bridge will be a wooden box to salvage from and another by the stream.

Want a treasure map? Who doesn't? If you look up you will see a zip line type thing coming from a platform, follow it up to an area where a bridge is split in two, (when you get under the bridge look up if you're close enough and you should see another skull totem) you need to get on the rocky embankment. Start of on the ground and climb up, there will be a crate at the part you need to jump from, jump to the beam over the bridge and make your way to the platform with another jump. Pick up the treasure map and it will tell you where all of the items in the area are i.e. GPS Caches & relics.

Head toward Whitman and some wolves will appear, you can easily outwit them and get to higher ground, if they get to close roll out of their way. Once you meet up with Whitman you will have to salvage 1 or 2 more things to make a stronger tool to crank the mechanism. You can find one box next to a shrine leg and out by where you saw the wolves, find another box with a little fruit bush next to it to complete the amount of salvage needed.

You can make your way to another shrine, it's easily identified next to a cherry blossom tree by a headless statue with more salvageable stuff hanging to the left of it, there will be another one of Sam's Journals (Endurance Crew Document 53N 712364 UTM 3416118). Before you leave the shrine look up and there will be another skull totem hanging down.

Follow the perimeter north around to the fire and upgrade your weapon to the 'pry axe'. And then head back to where your original fire was in this area to pry open a chest and get a bit more salvage. Now, when you're crossing the bridge in the middle of this area you will face two wolves after you kill them look at the tree to the left next to the fire, use your survivors instinct and there will be another skull totem. You can pick off a few more wolves and get the "Big Game Hunter Trophy" if you wish. 

Head back over to Whitman, and off to the right you should see another skull totem on a wall you can use survivors instinct if you can not see it, you can also pry open the other chest if you want but I would wait until you had the Advanced Salvaging skill, this goes for all the other crates in the area. 

Once you are at the other wheel start cranking.
