Exploring the Eye of the Serpent to locate the silver box of Ix Chel, I encountered creepy skeleton structures and a mystery mask. After making a high leap into a crystal-clear cenote, I looted a sunken treasure chest, dug up hidden points on shore, and discovered an archivist map.
Arriving at the Eye of the Serpent to locate the silver box of Ix Chel, the path ahead immediately turned sinister. The walkways and structural supports were built entirely out of human skeletons. Even Lara paused in surprise, questioning what unknown culture could have constructed such a morbid shrine.
Moving deeper into the complex, I discovered a human skull encased inside a massive, ornate mask. Examining the craftsmanship, Lara noted that it belonged to neither the Maya nor the Inca civilizations, hinting at the presence of an undiscovered ancient tribe.
The trail led directly to a sheer drop overlooking a deep cenote. Despite the extreme height, Lara confirmed she could make the jump so I launched off the edge and landed cleanly in the basin below.
Surfacing in the clear water, I marveled at the spectacular underground cave system. Before pushing toward the main objective, I decided to explore the depths of the pool.
After spotting a submerged chest underwater, I dived down hoping to avoid any piranhas, and pried open the container to claim sunken treasure.
After returning to the surface for air, I noticed a faint glitter along a nearby shoreline. Wading ashore, I dug up the glowing spot to collect some free experience points buried in the dirt.
While a cavern entrance marked the primary route forward, I detoured to swim over to an unexplored corner of the cenote.
Clearing away a pile of wooden debris blocking a small alcove, I uncovered a hidden archivist map to reveal nearby points of interest across the area.
