Temple of Doom – Bonus Level 5: Princess Rescue

LEVEL ENTRANCE: You'll need a character with a sword to access this level, so either the Thuggee or Pankot Assassin. (See the Characters page for more info.) To the left of the Pankot Palace entrance is a cable supporting a box of LEGO bits. Use a sword to cut the cable and drop the box. Then build a ladder with the loose bits. Climb up and jump over to the ledge on the left. The Bonus Level entrance is around back, behind the big cooking pot. (Check the Bonus Level Intro if you need screenshots.) There's no actual princess to rescue here, but I guess the climb up the castle tower reminded the designers of a fairy tale.

Outdoor Area with Pool

Smash the plants around the starting area and gather the studs hidden along the wall in the foreground. This should get you the 9,000 studs need for "True Adventurer."

Have each character grab a spear from one of the racks near the middle of the room. Throw the spears into the 2 sockets on the right wall. Then use the spears to cross the water to the ledge on the other side. Pull the lever to raise a set of platforms in the pool, making it easier to cross next time.

Have Indy climb the ladder behind the lever and use his whip to pull the orange ring on the left side of the alcove. This opens the gate off to the left. Climb up and get the shovel inside the little room. Use the shovel to dig up the silver boulders below. Use the British Commander's bazooka to destroy them. Gather the loose studs that pour out when the boulders explode. Then pick up the wrench left behind. Use the wrench to repair the generator, which activates a set of moving platforms off to the left.

Return to the ledge in the foreground, either by hopping across the platforms or swimming over to the right side, where you can climb out of the water. Then head to the left and hop across the moving platform to the ledge with the flames. Climb the handrails on the left wall to reach the ledge above. From there, throw water bottles down onto the flames to douse them. If you're in a hurry, you really only need to put out the flame directly in front of the lever. Just be careful of the others.

Hop down (or switch characters) and pull the lever to open the gate above on the right. Have one character climb up to that gate by using the handrails on the left to reach the ledge with the water bottles. Then jump to grab the rail on the back wall, climb to the right and then leap over to the ledge on the right. Step on the red button in the alcove and have the other character step on the other button below. (If you're playing by yourself, when your character steps on the upper button, the other character should automatically move onto the lower one.) When both buttons are pressed, the platform just to the right begins to move up and down.

Swim over to that platform and use it to reach the alcove above. Take the Artifact to end the level.
