SHIPWRECK BEACH
CHALLENGE: CAIRN RAIDER
FIND 5 CAIRNS
1: As soon as you enter the beach, there’s a platform that will be in front of you with a cairn on top of it. Simply hop up onto it to reach it.
2: To the north of the northern tomb entrance, there is a large rocky hill that you can get up by using the path around it. Follow it and you will come to a small platform that you need to jump over to and you can find the cairn there.
3: To the south, on the other side of the water that blocks the beach, you can climb the structure there and use a pole to swing over to the rocky platform. The cairn will be at the end of the platform beside a large tree.
4: To the east of the southern tomb entrance on the map, there is a path along the edge of the ocean that has a wooden fence. Follow that path and you will find the cairn at the end of it.
5: For this final cairn, you will need to use the brown cylinder that is wrapped in rope near the camp where the others are. Pull the buoy to the platform island in the center of the water and then climb up it to the climbable rock. Climb up it to reach the cairn at the top.
CHALLENGE: MINE SWEEPER
DESTROY 10 MINES
1: Go to the east of the camp where your friends are and you will find this mine sitting in the sand out in the open right next to the northern tomb entrance.
2: Make your way along the water line to the west and follow it south and you will come across this mine in the water near the shore.
3: When you are on your way to the large ship across the long wooden dock, stop half way across and look to the east to see this mine sitting in the water below it.
4: When you cross the mast that collapses on the wooden ship and reach its front, look in the water to the east and you will see the mine floating there.
5: When you head to the south of the beach area, you will hop across a few structures and platforms. When you reach the large set of brown metal pillars, look down in the water there to the south to see the mine.
6: To the southern beach area, there will be a broken walkway on a couple pillars near the south set of water. Look past the walkway from the beach and you will see the mine in the water there.
7: To the west of the southern tomb entrance on the map, there is a path along the edge of the ocean that has a wooden fence. Follow that path to the center and then look out in the water to the right. You can see the mine floating there on front of a sunken ship.
8: When at the southern section of the beach, go south as far as you can along the ground and you will come to the mine there in the sand.
9: Much like the previous mine, go south as far as you can but this time stick to the west side and follow the water line. Look out in the water to the west and you will see the mine bob up and down in the water, making it visible for only part of the time.
10: When you are on the ship at the end of the long wooden dock in the western part of the beach, before you cross the mast on the upper deck drop down and go to the left side where the ship is broken open. Here you will see the mine in the water to the west.
