The treasure vault is a location that appears in Drake's Fortune. It is a large labyrinth within the underground cavern in which the Spaniards hid El Dorado. It consists of many stone staircases and wooden platforms, many of which lead to dead ends or drop into the water that covers the floor of the vault.

History

Nathan Drake, Elena Fisher, and Victor Sullivan discovered the treasure vault, which was accessed from a secret passage inside the mausoleum within the monastery. Nate and Elena explored the vault, while Sully stayed behind. By following the clues Francis Drake left on his map, they were able to find their way through the maze. They were soon, however, confronted by Eddy Raja and his gang of pirates. After fighting through them, the two eventually reached the heart of the vault, where they found Francis Drake's corpse.

While Elena searched for a way out of the vault, Nate encountered Eddy and Prakoso running from the descendants, who soon began swarming the room, with one of them killing Prakoso and soon Eddy, after he and Drake tried to fight them off. With Elena's help, Nate was rescued from death by the descendants, and they both managed to escape the creatures and make their way out of the vault.

Geography

Overview

The vault is a large labyrinth of paths divided into two sections, separated by a large wall. Placed throughout the area are gold Roman Numerals engraved into the ground. They are used to help explorers navigate through the vault. Three of these symbols (II, V, VII) are drawn on Francis Drake's map, indicating that those are the correct symbols to follow.

The layout of the vault overall consists of narrow passages, featuring several staircases, deadly, rocking lanterns, ancient pottery, wooden walkways, and a few contraptions. Most paths have railing, which is mostly worn out.

First section

The first section of the vault is accessed by a tunnel passage stemming from a small circular room that revealed when Nate solved a symbol puzzle in the mausoleum. This tunnel leads out into a large, open space, with a path on each side. The one on the left is completely destroyed, but the one on the right is where one will find the first Roman Numeral, which reads V.

Section incomplete

This section is empty or needs to be expanded. You can help the Uncharted Wiki by writing it.

Second section

The second section contains no traps, but while there, Drake encounters Eddy's Pirates. The path in the second section is much more linear, winding upwards to The Heart of the Vault.

The heart of the vault

This is a room towards the top of the vault where the treasure was hidden, but when Nate and Elena arrive it is already gone, taken by the Germans years ago. The heart of the vault, however is the final resting place of Francis Drake, as Nate and Elena find his body there. This is also where Nate first encounters The Descendants. There are two exits from the heart of the vault, one leading back to the main vault, and another leading to the German Submarine Bunker.
