Chapter 27
Carving 1: Emblem of Natucohuatli
As soon as chapter 27 begins, simply turn left and walk over here to the waterfall.
Charcoal Rubbing 1
Face the waterfall, then turn around and run past the flood light and up the stairs, then turn to face the nearby column. Notice Drake’s position in relation to the waterfall in this screen.
Photo 1: Temple of Teochicatol
Walk back down the stairs and make an immediate left. Take a few steps into this corner and a photo prompt will appear.
Carving 2: Emblem of Imtaysoyunna
Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more
Proceed with the chapter until you reach the section where Drake swings from beam to beam (pictured above). Pull yourself up at the end of this section and walk a few feet to the right to find a carving.
Charcoal Rubbing 2
Take out the chapter’s first group of enemies, then look for the doorway with a floodlight next to it (near where the fight begins). Pass through it and walk until you hit the wall. A rubbing prompt should appear.
Carving 3: Emblem of Atiahuatli
From rubbing 1, turn left and climb up the short ledge. Move forward to where the corridor turns and check the ground for a carving.
Charcoal Rubbing 3
Cross the bridge you likely fought on and turn right. Run up the stairs and look for this rubbing opportunity on a column.
Charcoal Rubbing 4
Head back to the bridge and head in the direction opposite rubbing 2. This rubbing opportunity lies just underneath a set of handholds.
Photo 2: Gateway to Mitzican
After using a rope to swing across the wide gap, kill the enemies, then walk over to the box of grenades. A photo prompt will appear.
Charcoal Rubbing 5
As you make your way from the grenade box to the next rope, look to the right for a chance to rub.
Carving 4: Emblem of Amnalatua
Climb up the rope and run around left side of the staircase instead of going up. Cut through the bamboo patch here to find a carving.
