The Last Crusade Level 4: Trouble in the Sky

Area 1: Zeppelin Cabin

Pull the lever on the right to open the curtain across the balcony, revealing the Boss: Colonel Vogel. He begins throwing chairs at your characters.

Meanwhile, enemy soldiers attack, including a few officers armed with grenades. They continue to respawn as long as you remain in this area. Deal with them as they appear but concentrate on Vogel.

To hit the colonel, grab one of the glass bottles from the tables on the left. Target Vogel and press Use to throw the bottle. Make sure you're not standing too close to the balcony or your bottle will smash against the rail instead of hitting its target. Continue pummeling Vogel with bottles until he's down to 2 hearts. At this point, he'll jump down to face you directly and you can finish him off.

Area 2: Barnyard

In an action-packed cut scene our heroes crash land at a small farm. Smash the airplane wreckage to get the motor. Drop it on the green LEGO plate nearby and use the parts to build a fan. Jump into the updraft and ride it nd over the fence to the left.

Stand Indy on the whip platform on the right and use his whip to pull the gate off its hinges, creating a ramp.

Move onto the other whip platform near the building and pull the ring to lower the ladder. Climb up and jump to grab the curved railing running around the tower roof. Climb around to the right and jump onto the roof of the next building. Smash the clock and rebuild it to get studs and a white cog.

Grab the cog and jump off the roof. Carry the cog up the ramp on the right (i.e., the one you made by pulling down the gate with your whip) an across the farmyard to the gate near the building next to the crashed plane. Use the cog to repair the lever and pull it to open the gate leading into the next yard.

When you enter the yard on the right, bombs begin to fall from above. When they land, you'll have a few seconds to leap out of the way before they detonate. Shortly after each bombardment, a squad of paratroopers drops in and you must fight them. These attacks continue as you explore this area.

Go around or over the various low walls to the water tower on the right. Stand on the whip platform under the tower and use Indy's whip to open the valve, spilling water, studs and a blue handle onto the ground. Carry the handle to the shed on the left and use it to open the door. Inside you'll find artifact piece #3.

NOTE: You may be able to get this treasure chest without opening the door, just by standing close to it. You'll miss the extra studs from the water tower and inside the shed, though.

Go through the archway into the next yard to the right. Punch the door on the small, wooden tool shed to open it and get the shovel inside. Use it to excavate the sparkly patch of ground nearby, unearthing a lift platform. Pull the rope to start the lift moving and then ride it up to the roof.

Go around to the right edge of the roof. Jump to grab the dangling rope and swing over to the brown platform. It collapses almost immediately after you land on it; so quickly jump onto the wall on the right. If you don't make it the first time, just rebuild the brown platform, use the lift to get back up to the roof and try again.

When you drop down in the orchard on the other side of the wall, more enemy soldiers attack. Fight them and then explore the ruined building on the far right to find more studs. There's a ladder on the wall in case you missed anything and need to return to the farmyard on the left. The exit is through the archway in the background.

Area 3: Second Barnyard with Car

As you move to the right along the road, more bombs and paratroopers continue to fall from the sky. Flee and fight when necessary as you explore this area.

The fancy car near the edge of the cliff needs repair before you can drive it out of here. Use the pile of LEGO auto parts nearby to partially fix the car. Smash the little cart in the foreground to get a steering wheel, which you can then add to the car as well. Now you'll need to find a wrench to finish the job.

Locate each of the 3 blue tractors in this area and smash them to get 3 LEGO machine parts. One of the tractors is near the fancy car. One is in the yard near the farmhouse. The third is a short distance along the road to the right.

Carry each of the 3 parts into the yard near the farmhouse and place it on one of the green plates to rebuild the button. Then stand on the button to extend a ladder so you can reach the wrench on the balcony. Use the wrench to repair the car. Now you can leave if you like, or take a few more minutes to retrieve some treasure chests.

Artifact piece #5 is in the shed near the farmhouse. To get it, grab one of the blue handles on the small cart near the barn and pull/push the cart to the right. When it is positioned beneath the small grain silo, it begins to fill with grain.

Move the cart back to the left. Now that it's full, you can use it for a boost to reach the upper floor of the barn. Pull the lever to open the shed door so you can get the treasure chest.

Now return to the left, but instead of following the road back to where you entered this area, take the path that runs along the base of the cliff. Soon you'll come to a hieroglyph puzzle. Use Jones Sr. to solve the puzzle to extend a handrail that will enable to you to reach the higher rails above. Climb to the right and jump to reach artifact piece #6 hovering nearby.

When you're ready to move on, get into the car you repaired and drive along the road to the right. Bombs continue to fall and more soldiers parachute down to try and stop you.

When you come to the broken bridge, get out and have Indy whip swing across the chasm to the other side. Smash the pallet and use the leftover bits to repair the bridge. Then drive the car across, crash through the fence and continue into the tunnel that leads to the next area.

Area 4: Beach

The icons at the top of the screen indicate bird strikes. In this area, you must find 3 flocks of seagulls and startle them so they fly away and get tangled up with the enemy aircraft that are dropping the bombs and paratroopers. Each successful bird strike brings down one of 3 enemy fighter planes.

You can no longer use the car, so follow the road on foot. As you descend to the beach, you'll meet 2 squads of enemy soldiers. Take care of them and continue downward.

The first flock of seagulls is sitting at the bottom of the hill. When you approach, the birds take flight, and a brief cut scene shows them bringing down one of the airplanes.

There are still 2 planes in the air. So watch out for bombs and paratroopers as you make your way along the beach to the right. Climb the ladder and jump to the stone ledge protruding from the cliff face on the left. Then climb to the right along the higher set of handrails to reach artifact piece #7.

After getting the artifact, your character should land on the ledge below. (If you fall, you can use the lower set of handrails to reach this same ledge.) Jump to grab the dangling vine on the right. Climb the vine and jump to the handrail on the right and from there to the next ledge. Smash the pallet for studs if you like. Then jump to the next handrail. Climb to the right and jump onto the next ledge, where you'll find the second flock of seagulls. The birds will fly off, causing the second fighter plane to crash.

Hop down from the ledge and go around to the right to find artifact piece #8 hidden behind a boulder near some brown shrubs.

There's also a half-buried plastic sand castle here, but you must find a shovel to dig it up. Head back along the beach to the left, watching out for enemy bombs and soldiers as you go. The first rickety, wooden shack you come to is empty. The shovel you need is leaning against the second shack. Grab it, return to the right and dig up the sand castle (1/3)—the first of several that will enable you to get artifact piece #9.

Go back to the left, past the wooden sheds, to find and dig up the next sand castle (2/3).

Now continue along the shore to the left. Dig up the next sparkling patch of sand to unearth a small treasure chest. Smack it to get the golden key inside. Use the key in the mechanism on the left to turn the wooden ramp into steps you can use to climb over the rock wall.

You may want to have the character who isn't digging pick up the key so the other character can hang onto the shovel. Otherwise, after using the key, go back to the right to get another shovel.

Dig up the sand castle (3/3) just beyond the rock wall. If you've found the other castles as well, artifact piece #9 appears here.

Now wade into the sea and follow the small stepping stones away from the castle toward the left foreground. (You can hop across the stones or just swim alongside them.) The stones lead to a rocky cove with small ledges running up a sheer cliff wall. Hop up these ledges to find artifact piece #10 on top of the cliff.

Jump down and head for the shipwreck in the background. Use the handrail on the side of the ship to reach the dangling rope. Climb to the top and jump into the crow's nest, where you'll find 2 purple studs (worth 10,000 each).

Then jump down onto the deck on the left, startling the third flock of seagulls. This causes the last enemy plane to crash and ends the level.
