Last update: 15 April 2020

On this page of our guide to Uncharted Drake's Fortune you will find a detailed walkthrough of Chapter 13 - Sanctuary. It's a long chapter during which you have to explore vast ruins. Our heroes will encounter another waves of dangerous bandits. Some of them will have better equipment. In the final part of the chapter you have to solve a puzzle - you have to turn four statues to proper sides of the world.

Nate led the way to the ruins, and from there, he climbed the little steps up and left. Behind the next corner, they opened the door and encountered some bandits. After defeating all enemies, they've entered the bridge - right at the beginning of the bridge, Drake paused for a moment and looked to the left. At the bottom, towards the direction of the destroyed wooden waterwheel, there was a Golden Turtle.[1] After collecting another valuable treasure, they moved further towards the wall and an iron fence. Nate kicked the gate and they started climbing the ruined stairs. Upstairs, they found a trap and a dead body. The next path led through heavily ragged stairs over the stream. But underneath the stairs was a treasure - Silver Inca Cup. Nate jumped into the water to get it.[2]

After climbing the stairs above the stream, the duo encountered some enemies - Nate quickly eliminated the opponent on the right, and then killed the commando (equipped with a laser sight) on the left by evading his attacks (Circle + Left Stick). When Nate defeated his enemy with a few powerful strikes, he hid behind a small wall. Two enemies appeared in the front and then, at the top of the stairs, another enemy with a laser sight has spawned.[1] Nathan had only 3 seconds to kill him. Once he killed all enemies, our heroes went up the stairs until they reached the buildings and eavesdropped on the soldiers' conversation[2].

After killing them, Drake jumped down and two more bandits have arrived - the hero dodged their attacks and defeated them with his bare hands. Together with Elena, they moved on to the room that had a statue in the middle. As soon as they heard the explosion, they hid in such a way (in the side from which they came), that their left flank was covered. The first enemy appeared on the right at the top(1), the second at the top on the left(2-3), [1] and the next one on the left at the bottom, in the area where a passageway with stairs leading upwards was visible [2].

Later, after elimination of the first wave of enemies, more opponents have arrived from the above-mentioned entrance (the tunnel with an arch) - a guy armed with a laser sight was the primary target. After Nathan ran out of bullets, he circled the courtyard, running along the right wall, so he was able to surprise enemies who were guarding the tunnel.[1] When the situation became calm, Drake ran through the stairs in the tunnel and stopped at a landing near the passage to the right. At this spot he saw the stairs down and an enemy standing on them.[2]

After the bandit was defeated, the hero made his way to the other side of the demolished floor (to the balcony, and from there to the next columns).[1] In the opposite corner of the room, he smashed the gate by kicking it and returned to the yard with a statue, this time being at the top. He turned left and jumped down. After turning by 180 degrees, he saw the door blocked by barrels - he fired his weapon at them, and opened a passageway for Elena.[2]

Before they moved on, Nate spotted a treasure in the corner of the room.[1] In a small alley, near the exploding barrels (to the right, if we stand in front of them), there was a Jewelled Silver Cross.[2]

After collecting another valuable item, the two heroes went to the opposite part of the room - there was a gate and an opening mechanism. Together they managed to get through the gate (Elena triggered the mechanism, Nate held the falling gate).[1] On the other side, they had to take part in a fierce battle with a large group of opponents. They both ran to the wall(1) and Nate picked up a sniper rifle that was lying there - he killed two enemies equipped with laser sights(1-2). He managed to eliminate the one on the left by standing on the right side of the curtain.[2]

After defeating those snipers, it was time to kill other enemies. Nate and Elena stayed at the same position, killing more enemies and guarding both sides. When the hero ran out of bullets, he moved to nearby crates and spots where he could take cover or looted dead enemies to get more equipment. After the first wave of enemies, more of them have spawned - including two opponents armed with grenade launchers. The easiest way to kill them was by using the last bullets of sniper rifle.[1] After killing all bandits, Drake started looking for treasure. He returned to the entrance to this square - the first treasure was behind the railing on the right. Nate jumped in there and picked up a Silver Toothpick that was lying just around the corner.[2]

To get to the second treasure he went back to the entrance again. This time he walked left and was sticking to the wall. He passed another stairs leading to a closed passage and already noticed the treasure in the corner from this spot.[1] The Gold Spanish Chalice was lying in front of the rubble.[2]

The third treasure was hidden on the opposite side of the square (from the point of view of the entrance). There was a tunnel with a ruined ceiling.[1] After passing it through, the heroes found themselves in a small courtyard with lush vegetation. On its left side there was another 40th treasure - Silver Coatimundi. [2]

We returned to the main square and went to the front door of the library (large building). They were closed, but it was enough to find a way around by using the stairs with a railing to the left - there was a breach in the wall.[1] Inside, we saw Sullivan and many bandits, who quickly spotted us too. Firstly, Nate defeated the enemy at the top right(1) and hid behind the nearest cover(x). The next target was a guy on the left(2) and one enemy at the top who was standing on the opposite side of the room (he was equipped with a laser sight)(3). Then Drake threw a few grenades at enemies below and finished off injured opponents.[2]

After talking to Sully, the puzzle had to be solved - Nate checked his recovered diary. He found out that he had to turn the four statues on columns in the right directions of the world - he turned a statue of woman's face to the north, cow's statue to the south, lion's statue to the west, and the eagle's statue to the east (the directions were indicated on the painting on the floor).[1] This combination unlocked the passageway. There was a treasure in this room. It was hidden behind the penultimate left column (Golden Cup and Cover).[2] Now you only had to turn two extinguished torches on the opposite side of the room.
