Following the bark strips will lead you to an area with a dead horse and a ravine. You will need to cross this path to reach the mountainside where the thieves might be hiding.

After sliding down the slope ahead, look for a fallen tree and use it as a makeshift bridge to reach the opposite side. Then, climb the left wall and make your way across. You will have to hop onto a branch midway to reach the next platform.

Afterward, look to your left and find another set of handholds you can use to climb the cliff. Once you’re across the ravine, jump over, climb up, and cross the next fallen tree. After reaching the other end of the tree, leap toward the right-hand wall and shimmy along the path.

Once you climb up, look for nearby branches to your right. Hop across these branches until you reach the last one, where you need to use a grapple. Swing to the other side and head through a tunnel. Squeeze your way through a narrow gap at the end.
