LEVEL ENTRANCE: Once again, you'll need a character with explosives, so either the Russian Officer or Russian Grenadier, plus Oxley and his Crystal Skull. The entrance is in the same place as the Dovchenko Duel Story Level: Follow the road leading out the bottom of the campsite, turn left and go past the ant swarm, then continue forward through the archway made of branches. (See the Hub Maps and Treasure Level Intro for screenshots.)

Clearing with Anthills

(Click any of the screenshots below to enlarge.)

It's nighttime now on the plateau where you fought Colonel Dovchenko. A huge swarm of ants still covers the ground, so you'll want to use Oxley for most of the level, since his Crystal Skull keeps the bugs away. You'll want the Russian Officer or Grenadier at the start though. Use his weapon to blow up the silver crate. Then switch to Oxley, wade through the ants and use the leftover bits to build a fan. Then take a few minutes to run around gathering studs. You should be able to achieve "True Adventurer" even without treasure multipliers.

Now use the soldier's bazooka or grenades to destroy the silver chest on the raised platform on the left. The Artifact is inside. Now it's just a matter of getting to it.

Switch back to Oxley, return to the right, step on the fan and ride the breeze up onto the first in a series of trampolines. Now you'll need to jump from one trampoline to the next, all the way across to the Artifact on the left. If you miss any of them, you must return to the beginning and try again. I found that once Oxley is bouncing on one of the trampolines, you can hold the Jump button to continue bouncing and then very gradually use the left control stick or direction keys to move him toward the edge. He usually jumps higher on every third bounce. So try to maneuver him into the corner that is closest to the next trampoline. Then, just as he takes off into a high bounce, push harder on the stick or keys to make the longer jump to the next trampoline. It's difficult at first, but you'll get a feel for it with practice. As usual, when you reach the Artifact, the level ends.
