Area 1: Mining Tunnel

(Click any of the screenshots below to enlarge.)

Short Round has been captured by the Thuggee slavers. You now control Indy and Willie. Use Willie's super jump to reach the ledge on the left. Then use the LEGO bits build a handrail so Indy can climb up. Pick up the box of bits on the right, behind the mine cart, and drop it on one of the green LEGO plates. Position Indy on the whip platform and use the whip to pull the ring above. This raises the wooden platform on the left.

Switch back to Willie and jump onto the platform, then the ledge above. Grab the second box of bits and carry it down to the other green plate. Use both sets of bits to repair the mine cart, which then rolls away, crashing through the barrier at the end of the tracks.

Move to the tunnel opening above the lava pool. Jump to grab the dangling rope and then jump from there to the small platform ahead.

Use the rope to reach the small ledge
above the lava.

FREE PLAY: While standing on the small platform above the lava, switch to a small-sized character and wriggle through the crawlspace to emerge on a higher ledge, where you'll find artifact piece #1. From here, you can jump directly down into the next part of the tunnel, skipping the handrail above the lava pool.

. . . to reach artifact piece (1/10).

Jump from the small platform to grab the handrail on the tunnel wall. Climb to the right above the lava and then jump down into the tunnel ahead. Several waves of Thuggees emerge from the high tunnel on the left. Smash them until they eventually stop coming.

Fight the Thuggees that slide down from above.

FREE PLAY: In the same section of tunnel where the Thuggees slide down from above, toggle to a Thuggee character and use the statue to open a vent in the floor. Step into the updraft to snag artifact piece #2.

Now move to the right side of the room, where you'll encounter 2 Thuggees with crossbows. When you've taken care of them, jump onto the platform and turn the key to lower the cage and free the slave child inside. He runs to the nearby crawlspace and goes through to reach the alcove above, where he uses a lever to open the exit.

FREE PLAY: If you like, you can speed things along a bit by switching to your own small-sized character to pull the lever instead of freeing the slave child. Of course, that does make you evil. ;)

Turn the key to lower the cage and free
the first slave child.


LEGO Indiana Jones screenshot
He will then open the door for you.

Area 2: Cave with Lava Pool [jump to top]

(Click any of the screenshots below to enlarge.)

Hop down onto the narrow ledge next to the lava pool on the right. Walk to the end to get artifact piece #4. Then climb the ladder to get back to where you started.

LEGO Indiana Jones screenshot
Artifact piece (4/10) is down below.

Have Indy whip swing across the smaller lava pool to the dead-end tunnel in the background. Smash the crate on the right. Take the LEGO part you find inside and place it on the green plate. Then turn the key on the left to move the conveyor across the lava pool to the other side, dumping the part on the ground near where Willie is waiting.

Place the LEGO part on the small, green plate near the edge of the lava pool. Have Indy jump over to the first wooden platform on the right. Face left and use Indy's whip to grab the LEGO part and pull it across the gap toward him. Set it down on the right side of this ledge, then hop over to the next ledge and, again, use the whip to grab the part and pull it across the gap. Repeat this to get the part all the way across to the cave on the right. Carry it around the corner and add it to the broken engine.

use the whip to snag the part again.


LEGO Indiana Jones screenshot
Repeat this twice to get the part across.
Then carry it to the machine.

Smash the tool barrel just to the left of the wooden door to get the wrench inside. Use it to repair the engine that runs the lift. Now break the other barrel under the ledge with the slave cage to get a shovel. Use it to dig in the sparkling area on the right to unearth a golden key. Use this in the mechanism under the ledge to raise a whip platform.

Have Indy jump onto the lift and ride it upward. Jump off onto the ledge and then work your way around to the whip platform on the right. Swing across the gap and smash the cage to free the slave child inside. The small boy squeezes through the crawlspace and pulls the lever in the alcove above to open the exit. A mob of Thuggees rushes in and you must fight them.

He'll then open the door for you.

PARCEL: In Free Play, after repairing the lift, return to the small, dead-end tunnel on the left, where you found the machine part. Toggle to a character with explosives and blow up the silver bars to get the parcel, along with a purple stud (worth 10,000) and some others.

Use the conveyor to move the parcel across the lava. Then bring it across the small ledges above the lava pool on the right using Indy's whip, the same way you carried the machine part. Carry the parcel onto to the lift and ride to the ledge above. Here you'll find the mailbox to send the parcel home.

Later, when you return to Barnett College, you can go to the Mail Room and pay the 100,000 studs postage due to unlock the "Character Treasure" Extra. (See Parcels & Extras for more info.)

Go through the door the slave child opened for you. In the next room, smash the stack of boxes near the right wall to find an orange button. Carry it across the room and place it on the green plate. Stand on the button to start the lift moving up and down. Then jump from the button onto the lift, ride it up and jump onto the wooden ledge with artifact piece #5.

and use it to blow up the bars.


Area 3: Slave Cage [jump to top]

(Click any of the screenshots below to enlarge.)

Fight more Thuggees just inside this large, open area. Then move to the right and break up the pile of planks in the round opening next to the broken engine. When the rubble disappears, you'll find a handle. Carry it to the left and snap it onto the green piece on the wall. Then pull the handle to extend a staircase. (Watch out for a Thuggee with a crossbow lurking over here if you didn't get him earlier.)

LEGO Indiana Jones screenshot
Break up the beams in the round opening
to get a handle.


LEGO Indiana Jones screenshot
Attach it to the green part on the left.

LEGO Indiana Jones screenshot
Pull the handle to extend a flight of stairs.

Climb the stairs and fight a few more Thuggees near the cage where the village children are being held.

If you no longer have the shovel from the previous area, you can get one by smashing the box in front of the slave cage. Dig up the sparkling area on the left to find another handle. Attach it to the green piece on the wall next to the cage and pull it to open the cage and let the children out.

Naturally more Thuggees come running to see what's happened. As you fight them, one of the freed slaves goes through the crawlspace at the top of the steps on the right and pulls the lever there to raise the 2 square platforms below. You'll use these to reach the exit soon, but there's more to do here first.

Dig up the sparkly patch on the left to find
a handle.

Use a small-size character to go through the crawlspace at the top of the stairs to the right of the slave cage. In the alcove above (i.e., where the escaped slave child is standing next to the lever), you'll find artifact piece #7, along with a valuable purple stud.

Now use Willie to jump up into the empty slave cage, smash the tool canister there and get a blue cog. Carry this over to the right side of the cavern and place it on the broken engine. If you need a wrench, you'll find one in one of the boxes near the right wall. Repair the engine to obtain artifact piece #8.

FREE PLAY & SECRET CHARACTER: Before you leave this area, there's one more prisoner to rescue. Move to the front right edge and you'll see a series of handrails on the wall below. Drop down here and follow the narrow ledge to the right. Switch to a character with explosives and blow up the silver bars blocking the tunnel.

Since your explosives guy should also be wearing an enemy disguise, you can use the same character to knock at the guard post and trick the guard into opening the prison cell door. Princess Leia is waiting inside and she's very happy to see you. Leia is one of five hidden Star Wars characters that will enable you to unlock Han Solo as a playable character. For more info, see the Characters page.

After rescuing the princess, return along the narrow ledge to the left and climb the handrails to get back to the main area.

Area 4: Rock Crusher [jump to top]

(Click any of the screenshots below to enlarge.)

In this area you face the level Boss: The Thuggee Slave Driver. If you're playing alone, he'll only go after the character you control. So if you need a break from fighting, or some healing, just hop down onto the ledge in the foreground. The slave driver won't follow, and you can take your time smashing boxes, barrels and rocks for studs and hearts.

If you still have a shovel from before, go after another artifact before taking on the slaver. Dig up 3 sparkling LEGO skulls buried in this area: The first is near the fence on the far left. The second is on the right, near where the mine cart tracks curve around toward the back of the area. The third is on the ledge in the foreground, beneath the rock crusher's huge roller. When you dig up the third skull, artifact #9 appears.

LEGO Indiana Jones screenshot
Dig up the first skull near the entrance.

LEGO Indiana Jones screenshot
The second skull is at the curve in the tracks.

LEGO Indiana Jones screenshot
When you unearth the third skull
artifact piece (9/10) appears.

FREE PLAY: If you didn't bring a shovel from the slave cage area, don't worry. You can use a character with the excavation ability to dig up the skulls and get artifact piece #9 when you replay the level later.

Now jump into the fight. Punch the slave driver a few times until he falls down. At this point, a cut scene shows the Maharajah throwing down a vial of some mysterious black substance, which revives the slave driver and heals any damage you've done. This will continue to happen as long as you fight the slave driver directly. So now you need to stop the Maharajah.

Begin by pushing the train car along the tracks to the end. Later you'll use it to jump across to the ledge on the right.

LEGO Indiana Jones screenshot
Push the train car to the end of the tracks
so you can jump across it later.

Next, grab a bundle of dynamite from the box below the ledge where the Maharajah is standing. Aim for the cage on the left, where Short Round is being held, and throw the dynamite to blow up the bars.

Switch to Short Round and go through the crawlspace to reach the ledge with the Maharajah. Hit him and he'll flee through a little hole on the back wall only to emerge on the next ledge to the right.

Grab some dynamite. . .

and free Short Round.

Have Short Round go through the crawlspace
and smack the Maharajah.

Before going after the Maharajah, jump over to the handrail on the left. Climb to the left and jump up onto the ledge with artifact piece #10.

LEGO Indiana Jones screenshot
Climb the railings to reach artifact piece (10/10).

Jump back down to the ledge where you just encountered the Maharajah. Smash the tool canister to get a wrench. Then jump onto the dangling bucket just to the right and use the wench to repair it. When it starts moving, ride it upward and then jump down to the next ledge on the right. (You don't have to jump onto the second bucket.)

Hit the Maharajah again and he'll scurry off through a tunnel leading to the next ledge. Even Short Round can't fit through that tunnel. In order to reach him, you'll need to jump across the top of the train car that you moved earlier.

LEGO Indiana Jones screenshot
Smash the canister to get a wrench.

LEGO Indiana Jones screenshot

LEGO Indiana Jones screenshot
Slap the Maharajah again so he flees to the
rightmost ledge.


LEGO Indiana Jones screenshot
Jump across the train car to reach him.

When you hit the Maharajah a third time, he snaps out of his trance and realizes Short Round is a friend. The Thuggee slave driver is not about to become your buddy, though. He jumps over the fence onto the conveyor belt feeding the rock crusher and starts hurling LEGO boulders at your people.

In order to beat him, grab another bundle of dynamite from either one of the boxes. The first is just to the right of the crawlspace; the other is near the curve in the train track. Run with the dynamite toward the fence between your characters and the conveyor belt. Target the slave driver and throw the dynamite at the fence. When it explodes, the slave driver takes damage. The dynamite will continue to respawn as you use it up. So just keep throwing dynamite until you defeat the boss.
