If you have already reached The Lost City and you have returned to the Path of The Deathless to get collectibles, then you are not supposed to be able to go back through there and you need to turn back and go to a base camp and fast travel out. If this is your first time there, it's a glitch, if it's not your first time, it's not.

Yeah, this is my first time going through this part. There is no fast travel camps that I have found other than the one behind me. My bad, I thought it was titled "Into the Hidden City".

Im wondering if maybe I should try going to my second farthest save and loading that and trying again. I should probably delete this save as well. But if the second furthest save doesnt work then Im not going back and replaying the whole game

I think into the hidden city is the objective name, not the map name. Your best bet would be to use an old save

Turn around, go back the way you came...you missed something or didn't trigger something...I come across little "glitches' all the time...first one I encountered was in the Lost City after you open the first gates...Lara cannot access the camp there as it is "unsafe" however, there's nothing left to kill & I have gone back each of the dozens of times I've played to kill any Deathless ones left...I never trigger any more Deathless, so now when I get there, I automatically exit to the main menu, then continue the game. Lara can then access the camp as it's safe. Yesterday I encountered a "glitch" in Geothermal Valley that I've never encountered before. I got to the camp on the other side of the valley, where the tower is...Jacob asks you by radio to light the bonfire on the tower to your right. It always triggers as I go up the stairs to the right of the camp...yesterday it didn't trigger, so I exited to the main menu, then continued the game. It placed me at the camp, I started up the stairs to the right & bingo, Jacob asked me to light the fire. Why these "glitches" happen I can't tell you. I have also experienced freezes (every other day, sometimes), crashes, etc., but I honestly believe that is the age of my graphics card. I did have to lower my resolution in the game from 1900x1200 to 1900x1080 and that stopped all the stuttering, etc., first experienced in the game. Although more than capable of handling this game, it is over 3 years old & I am a heavy gamer. It's not my computer as it was built specifically for these types of games.
Hope this helps some.

Thanks man. I actually was thinking the same thing. And so far Ive tried to trigger everything. Im thinking that Maybe its linked to something I missed in that first part of Kitezh (the one with all the buildings and the guards walking around) Because in the actually are where Im stuck, I cant find anything else to do to get something to trigger

Have you tried going back to the previous check point...the game will allow you to do that...to be honest, I think you will have to restore a previous save...if memory serves you've reached the check point, which is the blocked "entrance" to Kitezh.
I did have another "glitch" yesterday. It was created by game/Steam as I got a server message & when I restarted the game, my files were out of sink.
I'm going to try & recreate your problem & see if I can achieve your "glitch"...if so, I try to figure out why this happened. I don't offer you much hope though as I've not seen anyone else with your particular glitch.

Ok, so check this out. I went back to my earlier auto-save with no luck and then I went to my manual save (which goes back to the first gate of Kitezh). So Im going to completely clear that area 100% before breaking the gate with the Trebuchet.

I should note that the other auto save was just a little before the part where I was stuck. There are still some of the Deathless to defeat; the blue fire blocking the gate was still active. So when I got thru that, it again was unpassable (is that a word?). Hopefully going back to the first gate of Kitezh will allow me to procede as normal.

Can you post a screenshot of where this is on the map?

Which part? The one I came back to with the manual save?

[Craig]

Where you got the glitch, where you couldn't get past and it was blocked off..

Although I'm not a programmer, it sounds to me like that was an actual "glitch" created by you & the game...YOU DID ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong...something didn't trigger & that's the game, not us players. I did try to create your glitch by things that I knew would "confuse" the game & couldn't recreate it.
I hope that manual save got you through...I would like to know if you did, please

Look at his original post, I believe that is what you're asking for ;)

No, that is in game, I want it on the map

[Craig]

Anyway...here is the same place on my game - http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/499147520054102391/8DEEA14B1FC56A274E3BAECD649B1EEFA14E21E4/

It is also blocked off, from what the OP said in the comments was that they were already in the Lost City, they have already went through here and the path is supposed to be blocked. So it's not a glitch.
