Guide to The Ancient World in Tomb Raider: Underworld, including how to defeat spiders, find treasures 26, 27, and the relic, and solve wall puzzles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As you enter the area, kill the spiders that emerge from the pit and drop from the right-hand wall.
  2. 2
    Head towards the tree.
  3. 3
    Grab hold of the wall and move right to open the entrance to the next area.
  4. 4
    Climb down at the end of the area; the wall will glow.
  5. 5
    At the bottom, take hold of the wall and move it as far right as it will let you.
  6. 6
    Jump over the gap on the left and grapple the hook on the bridge.
  7. 7
    Wall run across to the other side.
  8. 8
    Grab the wall and pull it back as far as it will go, leaving a small gap to allow you to get out.
  9. 9
    Go around the other side and push the wall as far as it will go.
  10. 10
    Grapple the hook and wall run back to the center.
  11. 11
    Climb back up and shoot the mass of bats that attack.
  12. 12
    Grab the base of the wall once more and move it right; a short cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) will show the bridge is now aligned with the exit.
  13. 13
    Climb up.

Treasure 26:

  1. Turn and face the way you came in.
  2. Latch onto the hook on the right and jump down.
  3. Land on the platform below and collect the treasure at the end.
  4. To get back up, grapple the hook again and then jump off at the top to grab the ledge.

Treasure 27:

  1. When you've moved the wall (as described in the main walkthrough), find the small alcove hidden behind it and collect the treasures inside.

Treasure 28:

  1. Assuming the bridge is in the correct place after manipulating the walls, it should lead you to a platform with the treasure on.
  2. Climb back down when you are done.

Relic:

  1. Face the exit and hang off the left side.
  2. Let go and quickly grapple the hook, swinging to the outer platform.
  3. Grab the wall and pull it back, leaving a gap so you can go around the other side.
  4. Do so, and grapple the hook.
  5. Wall run to the other side and climb up to the top.
  6. The bridge should be just off to the left of the exit.
  7. Run along it and jump to the platform on the left side; the relic will be lying around.
  8. Head back and jump to the exit to continue.
Tips
  • When hanging off ledges, let go and press the grapple button quickly to swing to safety or grab onto lower ledges.
  • Remember to leave a small gap when pulling or pushing walls to ensure you can still maneuver around them.
  • The relic and Treasure 28 are dependent on correctly aligning the bridge using the wall mechanics.
