Quecha Murals refer to multiple special collectible murals that are found in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Birth[]
- Location: The Hidden City
- Collection: Rebellion of Paititi
Born to famine, raised in rebellion, orphaned but never alone. He rises as the sun.
Chuki, the Weaver[]
Inside the Challenge Tomb
- Location: The Hidden City
- Collection: Resting Places
May Chuki have woven us each a tunic of the finest wool, by the time we reach the afterlife.
Civil War[]
- Location: The Hidden City
- Collection: Founding Paititi
Maya and Inca stood should to shoulder against their brothers, on one side, those who wished to retreat, and start fresh, and those who wish to expand, and conquer neighboring territories.
Coniraya[]
- Location: Kuwaq Yaku
- Collection: Pantheon of Gods 2
Coniraya. the Incan god of the moon. He was relatively low in status, so he didn't have a mate. This tells the story of how he reshaped his sperm into the form of a fruit, which impregnated the goddess Cavillaca when she ate it. This pregnancy came as quite a surprise, since Cavillaca was a virgin.
But when her son was born, the boy immediately solved the question of his paternity by crawling right toward Coniraya. Cavillaca was so humiliated by Coniraya's low standing that she fled with her son to Peru, where they turned into coastal rocks.
Golden Days[]
Complete the Trial
- Location: Trial of the Eagle
- Collection: Founding Paititi
Paititi flourishes under the watchful gaze of Yskar Yaway and his council. The city grows. Temples are built. The people are peaceful, prosperous and content.
Huascar, the Syncretist[]
- Location: Mission of San Juan
- Collection: Resting Places
May Huascar's knowledge of the two afterlives be sufficient to guide us, if we arrive in either.
Inti[]
- Location: Kuwaq Yaku
- Collection: Pantheon of Gods 2
There's no mistaking that bright, golden disc. Inti, the most important god of the Inca. He was the god of the sun, protector of the people, and the provider of warmth and light. Some legends also credit him with teaching humans the ways of civilization. And the Inca emperors were either considered his lineal descendants, or the physical incarnations of Inti on earth - depending on which emperor you asked.
Kon[]
- Location: Peruvian Jungle
- Collection: Pantheon of Gods 2
This depicts the Inca god Kon. He was the son of Inti the sun god and Pachamama the moon goddess. Kon was in charge of the wind and the rain, although in some legends he was only in charge of the weather that came from the South, while his brother Pachacamac was in charge of weather that came from the North.
Mama Zara[]
- Location: Porvenir Oil Fields
- Collection: Pantheon of Gods 2
This must be Mama Zara. I always thought her forms of worship were a fun tradition. She was the Inca goddess of grain, and her name means "maize mother." So if ever a farmer found a strange maize plant, they would dress it up like a doll, in honor of her.
She was also the goddess of willow trees, so sometimes the farming communities would hang one of their maize dolls from a willow tree, and dance around it for her.
Ollanta, the Potter[]
- Location: The Hidden City
- Collection: Resting Places
May Ollanta find the clays and metals of the afterlife suitable to her craft.
Pachamama[]
- Location: Kuwaq Yaku
- Collection: Pantheon of Gods 2
A dragon. This must be depicting Pachamama, the Inca goddess of motherhood, earth, and time. She presided over fertility, the harvest, and planting. Her body was the mountains, and she was also the cause of earthquakes.
People used to make miniature pieces of clothing, with highly intricate designs, solely for the purpose of burning them in dedication to her. That would account for the scorch marks on the floor. And those brown stains must be llama blood - another popular sacrifice.
Qispi, the Merchant[]
In the Crypt
- Location: The Hidden City
- Collection: Resting Places
May Qispi have acquired a surplus of foods, supplies and comforts by the time we meet him in the afterlife.
Rimak, the Storyteller[]
Access Crypt by climbing tree
- Location: Peruvian Jungle
- Collection: Resting Places
May Rimak's be the first voice we hear in the afterlife, and may her stories comfort us.
Suppay[]
Crawl under tree trunk
- Location: Kuwaq Yaku
- Collection: Pantheon of Gods 2
This is a dedication to Suppay, god of death and ruler of Ukhu Pacha, the Incan underworld.
It entreats him to come forth, with his legions of demons, and to converge on this site, where the local people will do him honor, with written poems extolling his greatness, or offerings of food and drink.
By paying him the respect he deserves in this way, the local people pray he will only take those he must, and not harm any others of their community unnecessarily.
The Peasant Savior[]
- Location: The Hidden City
- Collection: Subjugating Paititi
This shows a pilgrimage from a great city... This must be Manko, leading the Priestess' ancestors out of Cuzco.
Unuratu's Uprising[]
- Location: The Hidden City
- Collection: Rebellion of Paititi
This seems to represent Unuratu leading a group in rebellion, and there is a near-total eclipse in the background.
Urcuchillay[]
- Location: Kuwaq Yaku
- Collection: Pantheon of Gods 2
This is a little bit unusual. It shows herds of sheep, llamas, and goats. But one farmer wouldn't usually tend three distinct herds like this.
That one llama, alone of the hill. That must be Urcuchillay, the Incan god who watches over animals. Urcuchillay was often depicted as a llama. This is a dedication from all the local herders to the one who protects their flocks, thanking Urcuchillay for the preservation of their livelihood.
Urqu, the Scout[]
- Location: Peruvian Jungle
- Collection: Resting Places
May Urqu be the one to chart the path from this life to the next, so that we may all travel safely.
Uturunku, the Ferryman[]
- Location: The Hidden City
- Collection: Resting Places
May the rivers of the afterlife be calm, and Uturunku's boat sturdy to ferry us across them.
Viracocha[]
- Location: The Hidden City
- Collection: Pantheon of Gods 2
This depicts the story of Viracocha, the father of all creation. He formed the heavens, the earth, the sun and stars, the moon, time itself, and all living beings, including the other gods.
At first, Viracocha was considered to be the supreme god of the Inca, but with time that honor passed to his son, Inti, the god of the sun. Still, Viracocha retained his link to the sea. His name literally means fat - or foam - of the seas.
Wayta, the Tyrant[]
Inside the Crypt
- Location: Kuwaq Yaku
- Collection: Resting Places
May Wayta's desire for power be sated, by the time we follow him to the afterlife.
