This page contains walkthrough for the secret crypt in Mission of San Juan. Lara must examine this place during Via Crucis, one of the main missions in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Here, you will have to solve a few puzzles related to rooms that symbolize the way of the cross' stations.

• The puzzle at the second station of the way of the cross
• The puzzle at the third station of the way of the cross
• The puzzle at the fourth station of the way of the cross
• The puzzle at the sixth station of the way of the cross

The puzzle at the second station of the way of the cross

Move the cart towards the hole in the ceiling, the one through which the light comes in. The light must reflect in a such way that it would shine on the circular hole in the wall (presented in the picture above). This unlocks further passage.

The puzzle at the third station of the way of the cross

Approach Jonah and press the conversation button. Jonah helps Lara to climb up. By doing that you are able to redirect light on the Virgin Mary's statue. This unlocks another passage.

The puzzle at the fourth station of the way of the cross

Approach the device with the spinning wheel. You can turn it to change the place where the light is being casted. You have to direct the light on the fresco of a woman.

Approach the fresco and pull the lever. This unlocks another passage that leads to the next station (the fifth one has no puzzles).

The puzzle at the sixth station of the way of the cross

The room with the giant cross has two spinning wheels. Start by reaching the one located on the left from the entrance to this room. The light must be casted on the scene that depicts crucifixion - the scene in the middle presented in the picture above. Approach the lever near that scene and pull it.

Reach the spinning wheel located on the right from the entrance to the room with the cross. The light must be casted on the scene that depicts Jesus' crucifixion - the scene on the left in the picture above. Approach the lever and pull it.

This is the end of the puzzle. Cast light on all the scenes correctly to reveal a passage near the large cross (the picture 1). Ix Chel chest is in the next room. This also unlocks The Chosen One trophy.

You are under water. Hurry up, otherwise Lara will drown. The path that you have to follow is linear - Lara will have to squeeze between rocks and remove obstacles. Watch the arrival of Trinity forces in San Juan and the encounter with Dominguez. You also receive new photo - Andres Lopez.
