Raiders of the Lost Ark – Bonus Level 4: Bantu Wind
True Adventurer: 22,000 studs
Bonus Level Characters: Indiana Jones, Sallah
Unlocks: Nothing
LEVEL ENTRANCE: When you complete the 4th Story Level and move on to the 5th, Captain Katanga's ship, the Bantu Wind, will reposition itself near the small island with the canyon at the bottom of the hub map. Use the ladder on the side of the ship to climb out of the water. Then drop through the open hatch to enter the bonus level. (See the Hub Maps and Bonus Level Intro for details and screenshots.)
Another Egyptian Tomb with a Pool
Smash the plants and collect some studs. Then dig up the sparkling patch of floor on the left to unearth a ladder. Use it to climb onto the ledge above. Be sure to smash the small plant and pick up the purple stud in the back corner of this ledge. Use the dangling rope to swing across the gap to the right. Turn the crank to open the gate down below.
If you like, you can drop off the right side of this ledge, grab the handrail on the wall and jump over to the ledge in the background. There are various plants there that you can break up to get more studs.
Then return to the area below the dangling rope, get on the bicycle and pedal through the gate you just opened into the next area on the right. Watch out for the flower bed with concealed spikes that pop up if you touch them. Drive over the big orange button to raise a bridge. Continue across the bridge, but watch out for more spiked flower beds on the other side. There's one straight ahead and another partially hidden along the wall in the foreground.
Pass under the archway on the right and dig some LEGO bits out of the ground. Use the bits to build a ladder. Then have Indy climb up onto the ledge and whip the orange ring on the back wall to raise the ramp down below.
Return to the bicycle and drive it up the ramp onto the big orange button. This activates the moving platform above on the left. Use the small steps on either side of the button to reach the ledge above. Then jump onto the moving platform and from there to the ledge with the Artifact. You'll probably need to tap the Jump button twice to make the leap from the moving platform to the last ledge.
