Crystal Skull Part 3 – Bonus Level 2: Lake Crypt
True Adventurer: 20,000 studs
Bonus Level Characters: Indiana Jones, Mac
Unlocks: Nothing
LEVEL ENTRANCE: The entrance to this Bonus Level is found on the island in the lily pad pool just below the large UFO. You'll need a female character to high-jump onto the roof of the little building. Pick up the LEGO head and place it on the green plate on the side of the building to open the door. The Hub Maps show where the entrance is, and Bonus Level Intro includes screenshots.
Underground Crypt with Pool
(Click any of the screenshots below to enlarge.)
Carefully move past each of the spinning saw blades in the back left corner to get the studs between them, including a purple stud at the back.
Now use Mac's pistol to shoot the bull's eye target in the corner. This activates the 3 moving platforms in the pool. There's no need to try and jump across them as they move. Just have Mac swim out to the third platform, tread water above it and when it rises, it will lift him out of the water and he can jump over to the solid ledge on the right. From there, jump onto the platform moving from side to side, then to the long ledge on the far right.
There's an Ugha assassin on the next ledge in the background. If you use Mac here, you can shoot him across the gap before he can do too much damage with his blowgun. A second assassin is standing on the ledge in the left foreground, beyond the dangling rope. Shoot him from a distance as well.
Use the dangling rope to reach the ledge on the left, where the second assassin was standing. Grab a spear from the chest. Switch characters and have the second character do the same so both have spears.
Jump back to the ledge on the right. Then jump over to the ledge in the far right corner. Pull the lever to activate another moving platform in the pool. Swim over to it, ride it up out of the water and hop over to the ledge against the back wall. Have each character throw a spear into one of the sockets. Use these to climb to the top of the wall on the left. Take care of the Ugha assassin there.
Use Indy's whip to snatch the shovel from the rack in the back left corner. Dig up some loose tiles and use them to rebuild the checkerboard floor. Slide the box to the left. Then stand on top of it and jump over to the ledge with the Artifact.
