Uncharted 3 Body Part Puzzle Guide

====================================================

Introduction

---------

The body part puzzle in Uncharted 2 was a challenging and mind-bending challenge that tested even the most experienced players. Fortunately for fans of the series, Naughty Dog has brought back this classic gameplay mechanic with some exciting twists in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.

In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through each step to solve all three body part puzzles found throughout the game’s campaign mode without giving away any spoilers!

What is a Body Part Puzzle?

--------------------------

A body part puzzle in Uncharted games involves finding and reassembling scattered human remains. These puzzles are often hidden within environments that players must explore using various tools such as grappling hooks, rope swings, or simply by walking around to find them.

The goal of these challenges is simple yet challenging: collect all the missing limbs (head included), place them in their correct positions on a skeleton or mannequin-like object before time runs out. Failure results in respawning at an earlier checkpoint with lost progress – making it essential not to miss anything!

Body Part Puzzle #1 Location and Solution

----------------------------------------------

The first body part puzzle can be found after completing the 'Cursed Coast' chapter, near where you encounter a large wooden shipwrecked on the beach. To access this area:

1. After reaching land from swimming ashore using your grappling hook or by following along the coast line until reaching a small cave entrance above water level with vines hanging down over it - enter inside!

2. Once inside, look for some broken crates near walls; interact with them all (even if nothing happens). You'll hear creaking sounds when opening one particular crate containing key items needed later on.

3. Search around this newly revealed space until finding an old chest buried beneath pile of sandbags under wooden beams supporting ceiling above ground level.

Inside the Chest:

- A map showing location markers for other puzzle pieces

- A compass with red X marking direction towards next objective

Body Part Puzzle #2 Location and Solution

----------------------------------------------

The second body part puzzle can be found after completing 'A Descent into Madness' chapter, near where you encounter a series of ancient temples deep within an underground cave system. To access this area:

1. After navigating through narrow passageways filled with traps and puzzles, reach the end of one long corridor leading towards large chamber ahead.

2. In the center of the room is an empty pedestal surrounded by several smaller ones; interact with them all (even if nothing happens). You'll hear clicking sounds when pressing a hidden button on floor beneath your feet - revealing secret passage below.

Inside this new area, you will find yourself in another large room filled with ancient artifacts. Search for:

- A broken statue near the far wall

- An old-fashioned clock hanging from ceiling beam above ground level

Inspecting these objects closely reveals small details:

* The statues left hand has missing fingers on middle and index digits.

* Clock face shows time as 3:45 PM with hands pointing towards XII o'clock position (12 o'clock).

Body Part Puzzle #3 Location and Solution

----------------------------------------------

The third body part puzzle can be found after completing the 'A Place to Call Home' chapter, near where you encounter a series of ancient ruins on an island. To access this area:

1. After navigating through narrow alleys filled with traps and puzzles, reach the end of one long corridor leading towards large central courtyard ahead.

2. In the center of the room is a large stone statue depicting a figure missing its head; interact with it (even if nothing happens). You'll hear creaking sounds when turning a hidden wheel on floor beneath your feet - revealing secret passage behind nearby wall.

Inside this new area, you will find yourself in another large room filled with ancient artifacts. Search for:

- A broken statue near the far wall

- An old-fashioned organ sitting against one corner of the room

Inspecting these objects closely reveals small details:

* The statues left hand has missing middle and index fingers.

* Organ keys are labeled A to G on white ivory surfaces.
