Underwater Exploration
Certain sections shift underwater, presenting crevasses and deep tunnel systems that extend vertical exploration and challenge navigation.

- Look for distinct rock formations that indicate safe routes.
- Pause at air pockets when visible to conserve breathing.

- Practice traversal moves in open areas before entering a new tomb.
- Take notes on recurring puzzle symbols to reduce trial‑and‑error.

- Explore side alleys for optional lore items that expand the story.
- Use the hub as a waypoint when planning routes back into the jungle.
