How To Complete the Path of the Chosen in AC Shadows

To begin, head to the end of the path and arrive in front of the water. From there, use your grapple hook to land on a nearby rock. Once you have reached the rock, hop from one to another until you find yourself in front of an attached rope. Carefully cross this rope and climb onto the tree in front of you.

Now, use your grapple hook twice to swing across a large gap. When you land, jump onto the tree branch and use your grapple hook again to reach a rock projection. Next, climb the rocks in front of you and look for a gap on your left.

Crawl through this gap and find another one on the other side. Sneak through these gaps, then swing across the waterfall using your grapple hook to land on a wall. Keep following the yellow markings and climb the tree ahead.

Use your grapple hook once more to cross a large gap, then crawl through a narrow gap beneath a rock. After passing through the gap, cross a waterfall and climb up to reach the cliff’s edge. Use your grapple hook to swing across this cliff.

For the final stretch, crawl through a narrow opening and continue moving ahead. Finally, you will spot the treasure chest between some wooden boxes.

After completing the Path of the Chosen (Hidden Trail), you will receive the following rewards:

• 1,100 XP
