The Last Crusade Level 3: Motorcycle Escape

NOTE: If you've unlocked the "Disarm Enemies" Extra by finding and purchasing the parcel in the last level, "Castle Rescue," it would be helpful to enable it. There are no enemies in the first area, but you'll encounter many soldiers later on. Note that this Extra doesn't protect you from explosives, just gunfire.

Area 1: Garage/Boat House

Smash the green-and-silver cabinets along the back wall, as well as the crate between them. Grab the wrench from the left cabinet and use the leftover LEGO bits to repair the lever. Pull it to lower the motorcycle on the lift.

Break up the crates on the right and use the bits inside to build a handle for the small crane. Push the green side of the handle to swing the crane around and drop a box of LEGO bits on the floor. Pick it up and place it on one of the green plates in the middle of the room.

You can also smash up the remaining crates and hit the other green cabinet to obtain a couple of guns, which your characters can use later.

Now pull the lever next to the conveyor belt to dump a second box of bits on the floor. Place it on the other green plate and use the parts to build a second motorcycle. Drive both motorcycles onto the orange buttons to open the exit. When you're ready to go, drive through to the next area.

Area 2: Country Road

It's a beautiful day but there are enemies and hazards to watch out for here. A squad of soldiers on motorcycles is waiting just down the road. You can zoom past them if you like or dismount and fight.

As you make your way along the road, watch out for the steep drop-off in the foreground and the mud puddles. These only slow down the bikes, but if you step into them while on foot your characters die.

When you round the first curve and come to a broken bridge with barricades set up in front of it, smash everything in sight. Among the shrubs near the base of the wooden ramp is a special plant (1/3) that blooms when you hit it. This is the first of several flowers you'll need to find to obtain artifact piece #3.

Run the bike up the ramp to jump over the stream. Then watch out for the rolling boulders ahead. You may want to drive past them and park the motorcycles near the guardhouse and dismount to fight the next group of enemy soldiers.

Notice the enemy officer among the others. He's the one wearing black. When you smash the soldiers, they'll drop pistols, which you can take if you like, but the officer also drops his hat—like the one in the previous level. Try and pick it up before it disappears. If you don't succeed at first, just wait for another group of soldiers to appear and try again.

With one of your characters wearing the officer's hat as an enemy disguise, knock on the guardhouse door and trick the guard into raising the barrier.

Before driving on, move up the hillside at the back, where you'll find one of the special plants (2/3) you must smash to get artifact piece #3. It's between the two boulder ramps nearest the guardhouse.

Now drive or run past the guardhouse and turn the key mechanism to raise the wooden ramp so you can then jump the motorcycles across the rushing stream.

Just beyond the opposite ramp, smash the foliage on left, including the final special plant (3/3) that blooms when you hit it. If you've found all three, artifact piece #3 appears. (If you missed the other two flowers, you can still go back for them.)

Continue along the road, avoiding the red land mines and the large mud hole if possible.

A bit farther along there's a barn with an open door. Inside you'll find artifact piece #5.

Just beyond the barn is another guardhouse. Park your bike and wait for a squad of soldiers on motorcycles to approach. Fight them and take the officer's hat, just as you did before. Use the disguise to fool the guard in the hut into raising the barrier. Drive through the archway to the next area.

Area 3: Barnyard

As soon as you enter this area, look to your characters' left. Artifact piece #6 is hidden between the outer wall and the stone barn.

As you move farther into this area, more enemy soldiers attack. They continue to respawn as long as you remain here, so watch out for them and fight them as they appear.

Go to the well in the middle of the area and turn the key to raise the bucket. Artifact piece #7 is inside.

Pull the 2 levers on the Quonset hut to open the green doors and release still more soldiers. Again, watch out for the leader in black and grab his officer's hat once you've defeated him. If you don't get the hat the first time, just pull the levers again and another group of soldiers will come out. Now head to the right and knock on the guardhouse while wearing the enemy disguise. The guard will then open the shed door on the left.

Grab the shovel inside and use it to dig up the patch of sparkling earth near the barn on the left. Use the trampoline you unearth to reach the railing running along the broken edge of the barn roof. Climb to the left, drop onto the ledge and follow it around the corner to an opening where you can enter the barn.

Inside use Indy to whip swing over to the ledge on the left. Smash the crates to get a box of bits. Grab it, jump down and place the bits on the green LEGO plate. Use the pieces to build a handle and push it to open the cage. Step inside and grab a bazooka. Climb the ladder to return outside.

Use the bazooka to destroy the 2 large spotlights near the bridge at the far right. Among the goodies that rain down when these lights explode is a purple stud (worth 10,000). Use the leftover LEGO bits to build a mechanism with an orange handle. Pull the handle to raise a bridge so you can cross the chasm.

NOTE: If the enemy soldiers engage you in combat and your bazooka runs out of ammo and disappears, you can return to the barn to get another one.

When you're ready to go, drive across the bridge. Position a motorcycle on each of the orange buttons to open the gate.

There's a short road with a roundabout between the gate and the next open area. Here you'll meet more soldiers on motorcycles. Watch out for the land mines and mud holes as you fight. There are no special items to find here. (This is technically a separate area, but I've included it in Area 3 since it's so short.)

Area 4: Paved Yard with Gun Turrets

The final area is swarming with enemies: More soldiers in green uniforms swarm out of the little sheds, while others fire at you using the gun turrets. When you've dealt with the first group, the garage on the right opens. Another squad of soldiers emerges, but inside you'll find a case of bazookas your characters can use.

Target each of the 3 gun turrets. It takes 4 rocket blasts to destroy each one. When you run out of ammo, just return to the shed to get another bazooka. When each turret is destroyed, the bazooka troopers inside emerge and you must fight them. Bazooka troopers continue to respawn from the small sheds as long as you stay here.

NOTE: If you're playing a co-op game, you might want to have one player concentrate on fighting the soldiers and the other take care of the turrets and treasure chests, or take turns doing both.

After you've blown up all of the turrets, the gate opens. If you're not interested in getting all the goodies, you can leave now and finish the level. Otherwise, during the brief breaks in the action, go after the remaining artifact pieces:

When you destroy the gun turret on the right, the green door in its base opens. Artifact piece #9 is inside.

Use a bazooka to blow up the 2 manhole covers. This causes little green LEGO seeds to spill out over the ground. Plant the seeds (by approaching each one and pressing the Use button) to grow a lovely flower garden. When all of the seeds have been planted, artifact piece #10 appears.

When you're ready, drive or run through the gate in the back wall to finish the level.
