The Egg Poacher challenge requires you to find five Bird Nests in the Mountain Village region. It is easier to locate these after you have unlocked the Rope Arrow, which improves vertical mobility in the area.

Egg Poacher 1

Egg Poacher 1 is atop the waterfall that leads to the four areas of the Mountain Base and Communications Tower. Check the shack above the "left" guardhouse. Lara requires a short run-up from the building to reach it.

Egg Poacher 2

Egg Poacher 2 is on a large building located midway between where Lara finds Roth (at the bottom of Base Camp) and the start of the waterfall. Use a combination of running jumps, scrambling, and platforming to reach the rafters and then the nest.

Egg Poacher 3

Egg Poacher 3 is on a building rooftop near the tail end of the crashed plane, northwest of the lower Base Camp. You must have the Rope Arrow and Firestarter to access this building, as it is unreachable before the plane crash.

Egg Poacher 4

Egg Poacher 4 is on the cliff tops, where Lara uses a Rope Arrow to reach the Chasm Monastery and Captain Jessop. The nest is the "south" nest on the same spire that holds a document and a wooden post used to cross a windy chasm.

Egg Poacher 5

Egg Poacher 5 is also on the cliff tops leading to Captain Jessop. This nest is on a ledge beneath an Illumination statue, positioned across from a log bridge.
