This Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Walkthrough and guide will help you find all the treasure, unlock all secrets, solve all forts and puzzles, collect all Hoysala Tokens and more.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy includes a medium-sized open-world area to explore in Chapter 4, The Western Ghats. In here there is a lot to find. In this Uncharted: The Lost Legacy guide we’ll be focusing on completing the main quest, which involves finding three forts, solving the puzzles within, and turning on three water faucets over a waterfall. This includes solving the Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Chapter 4 axe statue floor puzzles.

For more help, head over to our Uncharted: The Lost Legacy guide hub. You'll find loads of useful info, including how to find the treasure and the Hoysala Tokens.


Trident Fort in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Chapter 4

This is the simplest of the three forts to complete. The Trident Fort is found in the southeast corner of the area.

Take out all the enemies, then interact with the marked location on the floor, then the strange object on the wall.

Wander the area to find the switches, then head back to the strange wall object. Interact with it again and you’ll open a door through to a spinning puzzle. Rotate the rings to make a picture of a trident and you’ll be able to turn the crank and open the first water faucet and complete part one of the waterfall.


Axe Fort - How to Solve Axe Statue Puzzles in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Chapter 4

Of the three forts in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy’s Western Ghats area, the Axe fort is by far the trickiest due to its three Axe Statue puzzles. We’ve got solutions for them below, so follow our directions and you’ll breeze through them without falling off any of the platforms (and even unlock a Trophy).

The Axe fort is found in the far north of the map. The instructions below are based on looking at the floor grid from the starting position, and doesn’t allow for rotating the camera.

Complete the spinning puzzle (it’s not hard at all), then turn the lever to turn on the second water faucet.


Bow and Arrow Fort in Lost Legacy Chapter 4

Drive over the bridge shown north of the location on the map. Take out any enemies and then use the grapple on the front of the jeep to pull open the door to the Bow and Arrow fort ahead.

A lot of this section is just making your way through the area and taking out enemies, rather than solving puzzles. Once you get close to your target you’ll have to use a wheel to open a door, and then you’ll be clear to head to the spinning puzzle.

Solve the spinning puzzle and turn the lever to activate the third water faucet.

Open the Waterfall in Lost Legacy Chapter 4

With all three faucets opened, it’s time to open the door at the waterfall and leave the area. It’s worth noting that you will not be able to return (unless you load a previous save or access a chapter from the main menu), so if you want to get the Queen’s Ruby to help find treasure in the latter half of the game, do so now.

Head to the North West corner of the map, to the location marked with the red arrows. You’ll trigger a cutscene and the chapter is complete.
