- From the ruined bridge north of the map, look south and cross the bridge and wooden steps. Immediately to the right there is a sandy path: walk it westwards and you will see an opening on the ledge between two rocks. Go down towards the water from this opening. Use the arch to pull the two containers towards the east side of the rock column, near its scalable portion. Just south of the pillar there are some rocks you can climb on: use them to jump on the containers and then jump up and use the climbing ice axe to climb up the pillar to the top.

Continue south along the sand path and at the building turn southwest and follow the path over the makeshift fence with metal plates attached. At the end of the fence look west into the water to see the wreckage of a ship surrounding a rock. Near the edge of the disaster, south of the rock, the mine emerges from the water and disappears. Wait until it emerges to fire at it.

- Glide to the peninsula from the ruined boat on the east side of the wreck beach map. Continue south along the rock to the east after a waterfall near a metal ramp.
