This is a place where death was worshipped. They find walls lined not with gold, but embedded skulls. A week later, deep in the Amazon, Nate and Sully enter an ancient pre-Incan temple at the coordinates marked in Drake's journal. With a prize this large at stake, Sully persuades a reluctant Nate that they should abandon the reporter - and their boat roars away as the furious Elena pounds along the dock in pursuit. Y'see, Drake discovered something on that voyage, Sully - something so secret, and so valuable, they couldn't risk it getting out." With unconcealed glee, Nate presents to Sully the final page of the journal: a meticulously detailed map of an area in the Amazon, complete with coordinates, and one location highlighted: El Dorado! The lost city of gold. But when he got back to England, Queen Elizabeth confiscated all of his charts and logbooks - including this one - and swore his entire crew to silence. He captured their ships, he took all their maps, their letters, their journals - and he recorded everything in this diary. "When Drake sailed into the Pacific," Nate explains, "he took the Spanish fleet completely by surprise. It confirms, to Nate, a longstanding belief that the explorer faked his death. At a dock on a tropical shore, Elena talks to her irate producer on a cellphone as Nate and Sully discuss Drake's journal. They are rescued from the ocean by Victor Sullivan: Nate's cigar-chomping friend and business partner. Though the onslaught is repelled, their boat is destroyed. Before the argument can develop, Nate is alarmed to spot incoming boats, and the pair are forced to fight off an attack by pirates. Though Elena's company paid for the expedition, Nate has no desire to share this prize ("The deal was for a coffin"), much to the reporter's annoyance. Inside, every page is covered with hand-drawn charts, illustrations and notes in a fine 16th-century script. Opening the box, he triumphantly retrieves a small, leather-bound journal.

Elena is surprised, but Nate clearly anticipated this. Nate, who claims to be a direct bloodline descendant of Sir Francis (a point Elena disputes - history documents him as dying without a heir), opens the lead casket to find not dry bones amidst the ballast, but a sealed strongbox. In a boat off the coast of Panama, reporter Elena Fisher records footage of Nathan Drake as he retrieves the coffin of legendary explorer Sir Francis Drake, believed to have been buried at sea some 400 years previously.The synopsis below may give away important plot points.
