LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures - Artifacts
Printable Version
The Artifact Room in Barnett College
Each of the game's 18 main levels contains 10 artifact pieces, which look like golden treasure chests. Some of these are sitting out in the open; some are cleverly hidden. Some can only be obtained in Free Play mode. So, in order to collect all 10, you'll need to replay each level at least once, using characters with the necessary Special Abilities.
When redoing a level in Free Play, once you've found all the artifacts (and the Parcel) you don't have to finish the level. Just go to the Pause Menu, select 'Barnett College', then choose 'Save and Exit'. This only applies to Free Play, though. In Story Mode you must complete the level to get credit for the items you found.
NOTE: If you are replaying a level any treasure chests you've already found during previous play-throughs will be replaced by blue studs (worth 1,000).
All of the artifacts—both partial and complete—that you've collected so far are on display in the Artifact Room at Barnett College. The level selection screens (at the Bulletin Boards in the college) also show how many artifact pieces you've found in each level.
Collecting all the artifacts contributes to 100% completion. It also unlocks bonus levels. Completing all six artifacts in the Raiders of the Lost Ark storyline unlocks the Young Indy level. Similarly, completing the six Temple of Doom artifacts unlocks the Lost City level, and the six Last Crusade treasure chests unlock the Warehouse. (For more info on accessing these, see the Bonus Levels page.)
