Raiders of the Lost Ark – Treasure Level 4: Desert Dash
True Adventurer: 90,000 studs
Character types needed: Any
Unlocks: Nothing
LEVEL ENTRANCE: This is another vehicle level, so you can use any two characters. The entrance is located on the dark island with the dock on the right side of the hub. To reach it, cross the green bridge on the left side of the big island. Then enter the opening in the foliage marked with a gold arrow. (Check the Hub Maps and Treasure Level Intro if you need visuals.)
Village and Excavation Site at Night
This is another driving level, similar to the ones in the other hubs. There are 2 Jeeps near the entrance and more vehicles positioned around the level if you've unlocked them in the hub. You'll also find vehicle powerups here and there, as well as several caches of studs. (Be sure to drive through the tent to the left of the long wooden structure between the encampment and the excavation to find a purple stud. The walkthrough with screenshots shows its exact location.)
As usual for Treasure Levels with vehicles, the two main goals are to achieve "True Adventurer" status and to pop the 10 blue balloons hovering above the roads by driving or jumping through them. A counter at the bottom right corner of the screen shows your progress. When you pop all 10 balloons, the Artifact appears on the wooden ramp between the excavation site and the level entrance.
I've listed all the balloon locations below, but the screenshot version of this walkthrough may be helpful if you're having trouble locating any of them.
- Balloon #1 - Above the long wooden structure next to the excavation site. Use the jump boost to reach it.
- Balloon #2 - In the excavation site. The covered pits are safe to drive over.
- Balloon #3 - Hovering above the excavation site. Drive up to the cliff edge below the excavation and jump off the sloped rock to reach the balloon.
- Balloon #4 - Above the wide bridge at the bottom center of the map. Use a jump boost to reach it.
- Balloon #5 - On one of the village streets. The jump boost you need to reach it is right below it.
- Balloon #6 - Above the wide bridge at the top center. Use the same jump boost from balloon #5 to reach it.
- Balloon #7 - To the left of the village. Run up the rock pile to reach it.
- Balloon #8 - In the narrow alley just below and to the right of balloon #7.
- Balloon #9 - Just left of the wooden bridge at the bottom center. Use a jump boost to reach it.
- Balloon #10 - Hovering above the river near the top of the village. Drive through the alley above #5 and use the wooden ramp to reach it.
When you pop the last balloon, the Artifact appears on the ramp above and to the left of the excavation site.
