We'll also cover the optional journal notes and journal entries to ensure you don't miss a thing. So, grab your climbing axe, and let’s get started on this treasure hunting guide.
Chapter 10 Overview: The Lay of the Land
Chapter 10 is a semi-open area where Nathan and Sam drive a 4x4 through a muddy valley, searching for the next clue in their quest. The chapter is linear in progression but open in its design, allowing you to backtrack with the vehicle. This is crucial for our treasure collection strategy. There are a total of 7 Treasures, 1 Journal Note, and 1 Journal Entry to find.
Our approach will follow the natural progression of the chapter. We will locate each collectible in the order you are most likely to encounter them, ensuring a smooth and efficient collection process.
Treasure #1: Mughal Silver Bottle
Your first major stop will be at a broken bridge. You’ll need to use your winch to pull down a tree to create a crossing. Before you cross this tree, turn around and look behind you.
- Location: Facing the direction you need to cross, turn 180 degrees. You'll see a small, muddy slope leading to a lower area near the water. Drive or walk down there.
- How to Find: The Mughal Silver Bottle will be sitting on a flat, mossy rock right next to the water's edge, gleaming in the sun. This is an easy one to miss if you rush across the bridge, so make this your first priority upon arriving at this area.
Treasure #2: Persian Bronze Lamp
After crossing the fallen tree bridge, you’ll continue on foot for a short while, climbing up to a tower. Once you’ve explored the tower and solved the initial puzzle (lowering the drawbridge for your vehicle), you’ll be back in the jeep.
- Location: Immediately after driving across the newly lowered drawbridge, take your first sharp right. You’ll see a narrow, muddy path leading up a small hill.
- How to Find: Drive up this path. At the top, nestled amongst some grass and ruins, you’ll find the Persian Bronze Lamp. This spot offers a great view of the valley, making it a rewarding little detour.
Treasure #3: English Silver Skull
This treasure is located in the same general area as the previous one, but requires a bit more exploration.
- Location: From the Persian Bronze Lamp, look towards the main ruins ahead. You'll need to drive to the main central area of the ruins, where you'll see a large, climbable wall with a broken stone archway.
- How to Find: Instead of climbing the main wall, explore the base of the cliffs to the left of it. There’s a small, hidden crevice/cave entrance partially obscured by foliage. Squeeze through, and inside this damp little cavern, you’ll discover the English Silver Skull resting on a rock.
Journal Note #1: Letter from Evelyn
This collectible is tied to the main path and is almost unmissable, but it's always good to be sure.
- Location: After finding the English Silver Skull and climbing the main wall mentioned earlier, you’ll enter a larger tower. This is the first major puzzle tower.
- How to Find: Inside this tower, after using your winch to move the platform, you’ll climb to an upper level. Before exiting through the window, look for a small table or a wooden crate. The Letter from Evelyn will be sitting there, waiting to be examined.
Treasure #4: Nest of Boxes
Now, you’ll be back outside and need to use your jeep’s winch to pull a block from a second tower, creating a path to climb. Once you’ve done this and climbed up, you’ll be on a high ledge connecting several towers.
- Location: After pulling the block and climbing up, follow the linear path along the ledge. You’ll pass through a small, ruined room with a hole in the ceiling.
- How to Find: Instead of immediately moving forward, look to your left in this ruined room. On a dusty wooden shelf, partly hidden in shadow, sits the intricate Nest of Boxes. It blends in with the environment, so keep your eyes peeled.
Treasure #5: Hamsa Pendant
This treasure is found just after the Nest of Boxes and requires a short jump.
- Location: Exit the small room through the obvious path. You’ll come out onto a wooden scaffold walkway.
- How to Find: Turn immediately to your right on this walkway. You’ll see a lower, isolated platform you can jump to. Make the leap, and the Hamsa Pendant will be glinting on the floorboards.
Journal Entry #1: The Fort
This is another main-path collectible that advances the story.
- Location: After the scaffold walkways, you’ll enter another, larger tower. This one has a massive model of the fort in the center.
- How to Find: Interacting with this large, table-top model is part of the story progression. When you press the prompt to examine it, it will automatically be recorded as The Fort Journal Entry.
Treasure #6: Cintamani Stone
After discovering the model and realizing you need to find three bell towers, you’ll exit the tower onto a high, grassy plateau.
- Location: From the exit of the tower, turn hard to your left. Walk towards the edge of the cliff.
- How to Find: Peer carefully over the edge. You’ll see a very small, precarious-looking ledge below. You can safely drop down onto it. The Cintamani Stone, a large, carved gemstone, will be sitting there against the cliff wall. This is one of the easiest treasures to overlook in the entire chapter, so be sure to check those cliff edges!
Treasure #7: Bronze Shiva Figurine
This is the final treasure of the chapter and is found while pursuing one of the three bell towers.
- Location: After ringing the first bell (the one you can see from the central tower), you will have to swing across a gap using your rope. You will land on a stone platform with a doorway leading into a new tower.
- How to Find: Do not enter the tower immediately. Instead, once you land on the platform, turn all the way around to face the cliff you just swung from. Look down at the base of the platform you’re standing on. There’s a lower, smaller ledge you can drop to. The Bronze Shiva Figurine is proudly displayed here, overlooking the valley.
Pro Tips for a Smooth Treasure Hunt in Chapter 10
- Use Your Vehicle: The 4x4 is not just for getting from A to B. It’s your key to backtracking. If you think you missed something, don’t hesitate to drive back. The level is designed for it.
- Listen for the Cue: Nathan will often make a comment when you are near a treasure. If you hear him say something like “What’s this?” or spot a subtle glint, investigate immediately.
- Check Your Journal: Pause the game and check your progress in the journal. It will tell you how many treasures you have found in the chapter (e.g., 4/7), which is a great way to know if you need to backtrack before progressing too far.
- Explore Every Nook: As we saw with the Cintamani Stone and Bronze Shiva Figurine, Naughty Dog loves to hide treasures just off the main path. Always check alternative routes, look over ledges, and squeeze through tight spaces.
With this guide, you are now fully equipped to find every last piece of loot in Uncharted 4 Chapter 10. This walkthrough for collectibles ensures you won’t have to replay the chapter multiple times, saving you hours of searching. Happy hunting, and may your treasure trove be full
