Uncharted 4 - Chapter 10: The Twelve Towers
Lots of treasure locations and journal entries to find as Nate and friends explore Madagascar by car in Chapter 10 of Uncharted 4.
Now the action switches to Madagascar, and we've got a new kind of gameplay for Uncharted: open exploration of the countryside by car. There are alternative routes and secrets galore to find in this section, so we've got lots of treasure locations, journal notes, and optional conversations for you below.
Follow the dirt road forwards and then round to the right. Crest the small slope and head for the ruins, get out, and take a look around before returning to the vehicle and rejoining the road.
- Treasure: Sawasa Ware Tobacco Box - On the winch handle on top of the far wall.
Cross the lake and head under the bridge. Turn right, drive up the slope and make your way across the bridge.
- Journal Note: There's a cave behind the waterfall on the left side of the lake. Head inside, pull the box down with your rope, and use it to climb onto the wooden platform at the end. The note is on the table.
- Treasure: Eroded Flintlock Pistol - On a barrel to the right of the table.
Drive up the wet slope - you'll need to stick to the rocky areas to get any traction, so stay right on the first slope then turn sharp left and take the long way around. Drop down at the end and drive into the river - to your right about halfway along is a rocky slope with tire tracks on, so head up there and follow the path round. Keep the lake on your right hand side and drive to the small stream at the far side and up another stone ramp. The road takes a couple of sharp hairpins here, so drive carefully as you follow its winding course.
Drop into the next area and park the truck in the puddle. Get out and head up the steps to the tower, climb inside it, look around, and then examine the nearby tree. Return to the truck, grab the winch hook, wrap it around the tree, and then drive the truck to the top of the slope before detaching the winch and heading onwards.
- Journal Entry: On the floor in the middle of the tower.
- Treasure: Mughal Ivory Powder Flash - On a box on the wooden platform in the tower.
Head up the hill and admire the scenery as you reach the top, then head down into the valley below. It doesn't really matter which road you follow as they all end up in the same place, so take your pick and keep following the tire tracks.
- Treasure: Parchment Scroll - On a box in the small ruins to the left of the area.
Drop down into the next area, head up the slope to the left and keep following the path - there's trouble ahead!
- Treasure: Ancient Fertility Idol - When you first enter this area, you'll come across a big puddle with a road looping behind some large rocks. Head to the middle of the loop, get out, and climb through the gap in the rocks - the item is on a crate to the left.
There are lots of ways to tackle the combat here - but by now you probably have a preferred tactic, so just do that thing that you do to clear out the area.
- Journal Entry: At the base of the tower is a wooden door with explosives on it. Shoot them from a safe distance (or use the plunger elsewhere in the ruins) and examine the floor inside.
When the area is secure, drive across the bridge. It'll collapse, so get out, grab the winch and wrap it round both supports, then reverse to make a ramp allowing you to get to the other side. Keep following the trail - again, all roads eventually end up in the same place, so the actual route is up to you, just aim for higher ground on the far side of the area then head right.
- Treasure: Pocket Celestial Map - Keep to the left-hand path immediately after the bridge/ramp and you'll find a small ruin. The collectible is on a windowsill upstairs.
- Treasure: English Ale Bottle - After the brief cutscene when you crest the hill, head for the ruin in the far left. Park the truck in the corner and jump from the bonnet to the handhold on the building, blow up the barrels near the small raised area, and drop inside. The item is on a table in the main room.
- Journal Note: In the far right of the area across the shallow lake is a well. Head inside and the note is on a body just to the right.
- Treasure: Pewter Letter Cylinder - Position the truck so that it's facing the collapsed bit of wall on the edge of the well and then take the winch cable down with you. Wrap it round the pole on the raised area at the rear (being careful not to wrap it round anything else) and then use the collapsed beam to reach the area above the water.
- Treasure: English Musket Bandolier - In the cliffs below the tower there's a large cave. Drive through, take out the enemies on the other side, blow up the barrels next to the small wooden area in the middle and climb down.
- Treasure: Antique Tea Tin - Take the left-hand route up and when the dirt road curves right towards a pair of stone posts, turn left instead and drive along the raised rocky path to find a ruined building. Fight off a few mercenaries and then blow the explosives planted on the door. The item is at the rear of the building.
- Treasure: Mughal Box - As you're along a narrow rock ledge, heading from the open area towards the tower, you'll come across a tree on the left with two trunks. Drive to the left of the tree and up the slope ahead to the left. The treasure is on top of a barrel in the small ruins.
- Journal Entry: When you reach the small stone tower, get out and examine it from just in front of the steps.
- Optional Conversation: Speak to Sam at the tower.
- Optional Conversation: Speak to Sully at the tower.
- Treasure: Scottish Two Pence Coin - In the brazier at the top of the tower.
When you arrive at the large tower, get out and explore the area. It's safe now, but you will be under attack later, so getting a feel for the lie of the land is helpful. Once you've got your bearings, cross the moat and head for the drawbridge control, then cross back and climb the tower - there are handholds at the back, then shimmy right and jump through the first window, jump across to the wooden struts, climb to the top and then over to the outside, climb left, and then up to the top. Give the crate a shove, and when you reach the other side use it to climb to the drawbridge controls.
- Journal Entry: In the base of the tower.
When the drawbridge is half open, enemies will start pouring into the area in waves. Your vantage point is reasonably safe, but you may need to cross to the other side of the moat to deal with them. Once order is restored, open the bridge, return to the truck, and move out.
Follow the trail up the hill, and get out when you reach the stairs. Grab the winch and wrap it round the tree - you may notice it's hard to do without also running it round the rock, and, predictably, when you return to the truck and start moving, things go a little sideways. (It's a scripted event and happens even if you avoid the rock, so don't waste your time trying.)
When the truck is dangling precariously and you're hanging off the back, climb up and resume your seat and hoist the vehicle out of danger. When you're safe again, untie the winch and head for the bridge - you'll need to hit it at speed to clear the gap, so don't spare the horses.
When you reach the other side, you'll be saying goodbye to the truck for now, so climb out and head on on foot. Climb the steps and examine the blocked entrance, then get Sam to help you smash open the door on the building to the left.
- Treasure: Scottish Snuff Mull - On a crate to the left of the tower entrance (behind the small building).
Head inside and turn to your right. Push the suspicious-looking bookcase out of the way then grab a powder keg from the far corner of the room. Toss it over to the blocked-up doorway and shoot it to clear a path. Head through, up the stairs, and open the portcullis.
- Treasure: Brass and Ivory Tankard - After opening the portcullis, head for the crates on the left-hand wall. The tankard is at the back behind a small box.
- Treasure: Muff Pistol - There are three crates in the corner. Shoot the closest one to reveal the treasure inside.
Make your way down the spiral stairs and follow Sam to the map room. After the cutscene plays, you'll have to take on a handful of enemies, then talk to Sam to end the chapter.
