Uncharted: Golden Abyss 02

Nice view, on the greenish Mountains...
Drake and his accomplice Chase, will be fighting their way through, till they reach the escape point!
Chase, is a young woman, who was working with Dante; and now, she is working with Drake; and so far, only danger persists, on their joined trails of discoveries.
No life-threatening situations, in our gun fight; we do hide well...
And of course, Chase won't be using a weapon; maybe she has some bad memories about guns...
These two will fall easily!
That was a long jump; a run is required, to make a long jump.
The two gunmen had handguns, and Drake already has his; Drake needs a more powerful gun, like a rifle...
Hanging on a ledge, and firing; no time for this!
And this time, a rope; Swaying from one side, to the other; these pink buds greet on the landing...
A Photo with the Barrels missed, somewhere up high in the distance; poisoning the fauna, in this case, the Trees.
A log crossing; could be dangerous, unless handled right, without the excessive flinching; the most important, is to turn to the opposite side of the fall.
This log didn't hold any dangers, phew.
Climbed higher, and ended up near a big waterfall, and the squeaky bridge...
The squeaky sound accelerated, and the bridge, got loose; its old, ancient ropes didn't hold.
Chase was ahead of Drake, so she got across; as for Drake, he slided with the other half of the bridge, which nearly fell into the river below.
With only a few bruises, Drake begins his climb back, to the top, to find the way round the bridge; to do that, he needs to make his way higher up the waterfall.
Some treasure, just right from the hanging bridge; what's left of the bridge...
A Turquoise Glyph, that represent the Aspect of Temopichlitec; it symbolises an eagle, and the wonders of flight.
And of course the waterfall, has lots of vapour; the faster it goes, the smaller it gets, most time...
The jungle vines are plentiful here; now, to move across...
And Drake got across the waterfall, by finding the thinnest stream possible.
Jumping from a higher edge, to the lower, to increase the reach.
Drake found a Sniper Rifle; and just in time too, as Chase is being shot at, by the gunmen!
Drake waved hands, to warn Chase about the gunmen, that were standing right behind her; luckily the gunmen, did not notice Chase right away, so Drake had time to get the message across...
And the battle with the gunmen, has just begun; using the Sniper Rifle!
So far so good; one of the gunmen tried to make it higher and closer to Chase, and that made him wide-open, for a sniper shot.
The other two gunmen were hiding; no problem, when the Sniper Rifle is set on maximum Zoom!
A small walk, a narrow path...
There is some Bamboo to cut, on the right side; maybe something is hidden there...
After Bamboo, a climb, and then more Bamboo; and there is a stone engraving there, to copy.
The Picture obtained, is the Graffiti: Nueva Galicia; it is a sixteenth century mark, that could have been left by the conquistadors.
The Odessa Land Deed was found laying around, just after a very long jump from above...
The Deed was torn into pieces, and to put the paper back, need to start from the sides...
The Land Deed shows a map, it reads "Concesion de Sierras" and was an official form, which approved the use of the Land, by the Odessa Mining Company; the Panama's government took charge of the deal; though the Deed became useless, once IOA came.
We nearly made it; a little more to the Jeep...
A climb down the wall, to the camp; grab tight, and find the footing!
This Gunman was unlucky, and fell from a cliff; looking around can help, avoid surprises.
Four gunmen with handguns, are no match, for a Sniper Rifle; the one that was swinging on the rope, did close up on Drake, and Drake already had a handgun reloaded and ready for him!
Quite uncomfortable, to aim through the grass; yet sometimes, there is just not much choice.
Chase runs somewhere fast...
Right, Dante's Jeep is gone; Chase has her own Ride though, although we need to reach it first.
More gunmen, taken care of.
The Sniper Rifle, is nearly out of bullets; should save up, unless in danger.
This gunman, had a Moss 12 Shotgun; with little ammo.
We are near the camp; and it's too quiet...
And just before the camp, there are crates with equipment; Drake needs to take a photo of those!
This equipment belonged to the mining company; it was hard to bring all this equipment, this high onto the Mountain, and it's all for nothing now, since the mining company doesn't operate here anymore; the IOA took everything...
There were trucks parked at the camp; Chase's Ride wasn't there.
As we entered the camp, Dante showed up, with his hands up; Drake said calm down, to Dante, and then...
Dante says, he is not saying take it easy to Drake, rather; three men show up behind Dante, Guerro and two of his henchmen.
General Guerro is not pleased, that Dante did not tell him about Drake, nor about Chase.
Suddenly it's Drake who is taken hostage, and now he joins Dante and Chase...
Gunman searched Chase, and found a medallion; it was hidden, even from Dante's eyes.
Guerro turns away for a second, to look more closely at the medallion; he wasn't pleased about Drake taking the Glyphs, and this...
Drake got his chance, and quickly arm-wrestled the two henchmen; while Dante shouted, and complained loudly, what is Drake doing?!
Guerro sneaked up on Drake, while Drake was being busy with the henchmen, and knocked him at the back; Drake fell unconscious...
And when Drake woke up, he found his bag taken, and a heavy smell of smoke surround him.
It's the building, it is burning; Drake needs to get out of the burning building, and fast, or it may collapse!
How was the building set on fire though?
And the music plays...
