Heading Upriver is the twelfth chapter of Drake's Fortune. Nathan Drake and Elena Fisher navigated the river by jet ski to reach the monastery in search of Victor Sullivan, all while fending off persistent attacks from Eddy Raja's pirates.
Completing the chapter in under 5 minutes in Drake's Fortune Remastered unlocks the bronze trophy "Up a Short Creek Without a Paddle".
Walkthrough[]
Players once again control Nate on a jet ski, though Elena provides support this time with a 92FS - 9mm having unlimited ammunition. Navigating the river is a challenge, as the strong current frequently hinders steering. Explosive canisters also pose a constant hazard as they float downstream toward the player; it is best to slow down and shoot these from a safe distance. Elena’s ability to blind-fire allows players to eliminate barrels and enemies while maintaining forward momentum.
The two encounter pirates along the river.
Groups of Eddy's pirates are stationed along the riverbanks, often positioned near explosive barrels. When approaching these enemies, prioritizing the explosives is more effective than targeting individual pirates.
Midway through the chapter, the jet ski must be driven up a series of small waterfalls. It is vital to choose a path carefully, as the camera angle may obscure barrels floating directly into Nate's path. After defeating the final group of enemies, continue through the tunnel to reach the monastery and approach the drop-off point ahead.
