Area 1: Lava Pool
Hop across the lava to the little island with the button on it. This raises another island with a button just to the right. Jump over to that button to raise another small island, but before continuing to the right, hop across the islands in the foreground to find artifact piece (1/10). Return to the last button and continue to the right to the solid ledge.
Switch to Short Round to go through the crawlspace. Push the box off the ledge above and use the bits to build a whip pad. Use Indy to swing across the gap and turn the crank to raise another island so Willie can cross the lava.
Move to the right and fight the 2 Thuggees that jump down from the ledge above.
FREE PLAY: Before climbing the ledges, go around to the right and dig up the sparkling area. Build a scholar access panel and use it to open the door.
Inside use the whip pad to pull down a bridge. Fight the Thuggee and Thuggee Priest on the other side.
Move to the front edge of this rock formation. (There's a zip line just to the right but ignore it for now.) Jump toward the foreground, following the floating arc of studs, to land on a small island in the lava pool below. Hop onto the next island on the right, smash the rocks and use the leftover bits to build artifact piece (2/10). Hop back to the previous island, wait for a moving boulder to float past and jump onto it. Ride it to the left and jump over to the ledge in the background. Climb the rope to the ledge above.
Go to the right, cross the bridge you lowered earlier, and continue to the right. Use the next whip pad to pull a block out from the far wall and drop a pile of bits on the ledge below. Backtrack to the left and then follow the rock steps down to the zip line. Use the bits there to build a gray pad. Toggle to a character with an umbrella and slide down the cable to the right.
Fight another Thuggee, build a small ledge and use it to climb up to the block you just pulled out of the wall. Jump from the block onto the ledge above on the right. Use the golden bits there to build artifact piece (3/10). Then return to the protruding block and jump across the gap to the ledge on the left. Return all the way to the left and exit back to the main area.
Pull the handle out of the wall and jump on top of it to reach the ledge above. Stand both characters on the large square button to open the exit.
Area 2: Lava Pool with Wide Pillars
As you explore, be sure to blow out every torch you see in this area. Extinguishing all of them will enable you to get artifact piece (4/10).
Head to the right and jump onto one of the moving platforms as it passes to the right. Jump from the moving ledge onto the solid ledge protruding from the front of the huge column. Blow out the torch (1/4). Stand on the right side of this ledge, wait for another moving platform to pass, ride it around to the right and jump onto the next solid ledge. Press the wall button to raise a stepping-stone in the lava so the other character can cross on the level below.
Wait near the button for another moving platform to emerge on the right. Jump onto it and ride it around to another small ledge with a crawlspace and torch. Blow out the torch (2/4). Then hop down on the right.
Fight the 2 Thuggees here. Smash the boxes on the left to get a scimitar if you like. Now round up 3 blue bricks for the blue pad in the foreground. One blue brick (1/3) is lying on the floor near the back wall.
Send Short Round through the crawlspace onto the ledge above. Fight a Thuggee and Thuggee Priest. Push the wall button to extend a ledge decorated with an elephant's head off to the left. Then grab the blue brick (2/3), jump down on the left and place the brick on the pad.
Return through the crawlspace. Stand near the wall button you pushed earlier and jump onto one of the moving platforms as it passes. Ride around to the left to another small ledge with a crawlspace and torch. Blow out the torch (3/4). Ignore the crawlspace; it leads to the ledge below, where you've already been. Instead ride the moving platform to the left and jump onto the ledge with the elephant's head that you just extended. Jump from there to the next moving platform. Ride it around to the small solid ledge on the right. Blow out the torch (4/4) there. If you've blown out all the other torches in this area, artifact piece (4/10) appears below.
Before jumping down, ride the moving platform around to the left and jump onto the small ledge in the left corner. Smash the jar and grab the blue brick (3/3) in the alcove behind it. Hop down off the front of this ledge and return to the right. Drop the brick on the pad and use the bits to build artifact piece (5/10).
Don't forget to retrieve artifact #4: Go through the crawlspace near where the blue pad was. Ride the moving platform around to the left. Jump onto the ledge with the elephant's head and step off the front edge to land near the artifact. Grab it and hop down onto the small island below. Return to the right.
Stand both characters on the large square button to open the round door. Go through.
Area 3: Lava Pool with Giant Skull Door
Hop across the lava to the island in the background. Pull the lever to raise a small island to the right. Hop across to the next solid ledge. Send Short Round through the crawlspace and push the wall button on the ledge above to raise another small island in the lava.
Return to the island with the lever and pull it once more to raise a little island to the left. Hop over to the left ledge and climb the rope. Use Willie's umbrella to slide from the gray pad down to the ledge below. Push the wall button to raise another stepping-stone between the lever and the skull door.
Jump down on the right, following the arc of floating studs. Step on the button to raise another stepping-stone just to the right. Before jumping onto it, smash the gray rock next to the button and build artifact piece (6/10).
Jump across the stones to the big island on the right, then to the island with the lever. Pull the lever twice to raise a third stone just ahead. (If this doesn't work, just keep pulling the lever to reconfigure the stones until there are three in a row.) Hop across the stones to the door resembling a huge skull.
Area 4: Cave with Alcoves above Lava
Use Indy's whip to smash the 4 lanterns on the wall of this alcove. (In Free Play you can also shoot or throw bottles at the lanterns.) Switch to Short Round to get through the crawlspace. Fight 2 Thuggees in the next alcove. Then break the boulders on the left and build a wall button. Press it to raise a series of stepping-stones in the lava pool so the other character can cross.
Smash 4 more lanterns here as well. If you've also broken the lanterns in the first alcove, artifact piece (7/10) appears here in the second alcove. Stand both characters on the large square button to open the exit.
Area 5: Large Room with Many Ledges
When you start across the wooden bridge on the right, it collapses, dropping your characters onto the ledge below. Fight 2 Thuggees and then move to the left side of the ledge.
Hop down the small, square ledges to the area below on the left. Just take care not to fall into the lava pool below. Smash the vases to get map piece (1/3) and turn the crank to extend a ledge on the left. Jump over there, switch to Short Round and go through the crawlspace. On the ledge above, pull the handle to raise one of the carved blocks back on the large central ledge.
Hop down from the ledge with the handle, return to the right and jump up the square ledges to reach the large central ledge.
This time, head to the right. Climb down the rounded ledges above the lava pool to the area below on the right. Have Willie stand on the gray pad and umbrella-slide down to the ledge below. Press the wall button to drop a heap of LEGO bits near the gray pad. Use the loose bits to build a ledge so you can get climb back up. Then use the new bits to build a dangling rope. Climb onto the ledge above and pull the handle to raise the second carved block back on the large central ledge.
When the second block rises, the two blocks explode, leaving behind a pile of yellow LEGO bricks.
Return to the left and climb back up to the large central ledge once more. Use the yellow bricks to build a lift and handle. Pull the handle to start the lift moving. Hop on, ride upward and jump off on the right.
FREE PLAY: Before riding the lift upward, dig up the sparkling area on the left. Use the bits you unearth to build artifact piece (8/10).
After riding the lift to the ledge above, use the military access panel to open the door next to it. Inside, pick up the wooden torch, light it on the burning brazier and use it to light the 4 wall torches. This causes map piece (2/3) to appear.
Use the bits on the right to build a wall button. Push it to get a blue box with handles. Maneuver the box along the checkerboard tiles onto the small blue square in front of the blue statue. (Blue box = blue statue.) It sinks into the floor and he button pops back out. Push the button again to get a green box. Move the box in front of the green statue until it also sinks into the floor. Push the button once more to get a red box. Move it in front of the red statue. When you've used all 3 boxes, artifact piece (9/10) appears nearby.
Climb the ledges on the left to get back to the main area.
When you're finished here, exit through the doorway on the right.
Area 6: Kali's Temple
The cut scene shows a few points of interest, including poor Willie suspended above a lava pit about to be barbecued, as well as the crank you'll need to turn to raise her out of the pit. The purple swirls around Indy's head show that the Boss: Mola Ram has enchanted him with the black sleep. Short Round must now rescue his friends.
Begin by taking care of the 2 Thuggees. Then pick up the wooden torch on the floor at the back left. Carry it around to the right and light it on the burning brazier. Then use the torch to light the 6 torches on the walls to obtain the red brick.
Lighting the 2 torches where Indy is standing snaps him out of the black sleep so you can control him once again. Two more Thuggees appear. Fight them quickly if you can, or just switch to Indy and dash to the back right corner. Use the whip pad to climb onto the ledge. Then turn the crank to raise Willie's cage a partway out of the lava pit.
Mola Ram will soon hypnotize Indy again, leaving you in control of Short Round once more. Fight the Thuggees if you didn't do so before. Then run to the back left corner and build a crawlspace. Crawl through onto the ledge above. Grab map piece (3/3). If you found the other pieces earlier, you'll get artifact piece (10/10) now. Pull the lever to drop a boulder on Mola Ram. This stuns him but only temporarily.
Another pair of Thuggees appears. Again, if you can avoid them rather than fighting, you'll have more time before Mola Ram revives. Repeat the process: Use Indy to climb onto the right ledge and turn the crank to raise Willie's cage. Then use Short Round to climb onto the left ledge and pull the lever to stun Mola Ram. After three successful repetitions, Willie is saved and the level ends.
