When the battle is finished, follow the quest icon through the waterfall and into an outdoor area where a red river leads to a glowing portal. But before stepping through the portal, follow the river back upstream to find the second hidden seeker in a tree.
Each door leads back to its specific area in the main level. Use it as a dodge. Just duck back into a portal and zip away to a new, hopefully safer spot of the map.
Back in the main level, you now have a new path to travel. It is infested with demons, including a fire breather. But if you’re not up to battle, you can just run to the temple gate and it will open.
Once inside the temple, the fight to reach the bell begins. You’ll meet a new enemy here that looks like a skinny, furless dog wearing a mask. These are “beasts.” And the thing you need to know about beasts is that they explode.
Keep yourself healed, and when a scorcher gets close, either coordinate with the tiger for a finishing move, or just snipe it in the back of the neck. Eventually, only two scorchers guard the bell left. Take them out and the bell is yours to ring.
Mission #2: The Surrender To Paradise
To reach the thangka, start around x:553 y:455, where a small bell hangs mounted in front of a cave entrance. But ignore it for now; you’re here for the stairs and the climbable ledges off to the right. Scale them.
Follow the trail that goes up and to the left (north) until you hit a grapple point.
Grapple up, leap across to two ledges and a grapple swing, use the log to cross the gap, climb and leap across more ledges, and follow the trail north to a waterfall. This is Kalinag’s Descent.
Use the grapple point to go down into the hole the waterfall drains into (look for a lost letter in a cave part way down) or just dive all the way down into the pool at the bottom. There, swim through the underwater passage to the west and make your way into the thangka chamber.
Once in Shangri-La, you’ll learn to use a wingsuit of sorts. The swirls of red leaves boost your altitude, so you’ll need to aim for them if you want to stay airborne.
Through the door, either leaf swirl will shoot you on a wild path from spire to spire. You can go in either order, but we’ll take the left one first. You’ll eventually land in a demon-infested courtyard in front of a multi-level structure with a wobbly mani wheel on a high balcony.
Pace yourself and remember all the tools you have: the bow’s time-slowing power, two fire modes, your old-fashioned takedowns , and the tiger. Watch your health, don’t be afraid to retreat.
After the battle, check the right corner of the middle level (the one with the blood pools) to find the second hidden seeker. Then spin the mani wheel and head back to the wind spire, which will send you to the right-side swirl’s battle.
Same slaughter, different demons. This level is a positively Escher-esque maze of stairs and platforms, but that gives you a ton of hiding and even sneaking places. Also, note the red pots with flames on top explode when shot. When the battle is over, just before heading up the stairs to the wobbling wheel, turn around and drop down the ledge on the left to reach the third seeker.
Then head to the wheel, the spire, and a flight (through swift waypoints) to one last battle.
Start by teaming with the tiger to take out the scorcher right in front of you. Then head back and crouch behind cover. Several demons will charge you. Meet them all with takedowns. Once they’re out of the way, you can concentrate on the long-range enemies and get to that bell.
Mission #3: The Paradise Destroyed
You’ll start your search for this thangka piece on a boat, floating southeast along the river near Jalendu Temple and Ratu Gadhi fortress, landing on the western shore next to the gun nest.
Take the trail to the southwest, where you’ll see a grapple point up the cliff. Climb, then run straight west until you reach another cliff. Move just a bit south and you’ll find another grapple point and follow the trail to the caved-in mine entrance. Head to the miners’ lodge. Just past the building, you’ll find a short grapple near a stack of bricks.
This leads to a trail, a hanging grapple, and a log bridge with a breathtaking view of a high waterfall.
Cross the log, follow the trail. You’ll touch down in a Shangri-La.
When you round the bend and get your first good view of the level, you’ll come to a gaggle of beasts lurking near an archway. Kill them, but before continuing, turn left and take the uphill path to a gazebo, where you’ll find this level’s first seeker. Return to the main path, which will take you to a group of demons torturing an elephant. Rescue it and the benevolent giant will reward you by declaring itself your very stylish new ride.
Hop on and follow the path. When it splits, take the right fork but pause just past the fallen tree to climb the ledge. It’ll lead to a small shrine and the second seeker. To your right, you’ll see a burning tree and catch a glimpse of one of the battles ahead of you.
