Nintendo DS - Raiders Level 3: Cairo Street Fight

Area 1: Cairo Street

Begin by clearing the Area of enemies. Move down the street to the right and 4 goons emerge and start shooting. When you've dealt with them, 3 more men come in from the left. Take them out as well.

There are a few things you should not break at first so you can use them to reach more studs: Just to the left of the stairs with the Thuggee access panel is a pile of green-and-yellow melons. Use them for a boost onto the cart to the left, where you'll find a bunch of blue studs. Jump onto the urn near the cart in the middle of the street and from there to the palm tree. Now you can reach the studs floating in the air.

Head for the right end of the street and use the loose bits to build a box with handles. Slide it along the checkerboard tiles and use it to climb onto the ledge with the red pad.

Stand Marion on the pad and press A to change her into the pet monkey. In monkey form, hop down, head to the left and climb the bright green vines to the roof above, where you'll find the red brick.

Now run to the left end of the street and climb the vines there. Move the monkey onto the fan and blow into the microphone to lift the monkey up to the higher roof. Step on the button to lower a rope so Indy can climb up. Smash the boxes and gather the studs.

Smash the crate and urn to the left of the cart near the 2 palm trees to receive a scimitar and some studs. Use the unbreakable box to climb onto the cart. Jump over to the nearest palm tree, then to the next tree. Grab the blue brick (1/3) and hop down. Carry the brick to the right end of the street and drop it on the blue pad.

Return to the starting Area , pick up another blue brick (2/3) and bring it to the pad as well. Then break the containers to the left of the stairs with the Thuggee access panel to get one more blue brick (3/3), as well as map piece (2/3). Carry the brick to the blue pad and use the bits that appear to build a lever. Pull it to open the exit.

Area 2: Street with Swordsmen

When you enter the new Area , 3 swordsmen attack. If you need a weapon, run to the back wall and smash the crate to get a machine gun. As the movie teaches, guns beat swords. ;)

Then have Marion toss bottles at the bull's-eye targets on the wall. Hitting both opens the doors between them. Pull the box with the handles out along the checkerboard tiles and then push it to the right as far as it goes. Use it to jump onto the stacked boxes. Jump from there to the palm tree, then over the wall to the right.

Another pair of swordsmen attack. Deal with them and then move to the right to draw out 2 more goons.

When the coast is clear, head back to the left and climb the stairs near the fruit stall. Run around to the front of the building and smash the lattice doors to get artifact piece (4/10).

Some of the Area s described in the Free Play section below are partially accessible in Story Mode. You won't be able to go everywhere, but if you smash everything you see and go through every open doorway, you can gather quite a few studs.

When you're ready to move on, go to the top of the stairs near the fruit cart near the dividing wall between the two halves of this Area. Pick up the wooden torch at the top of the stairs and light it on the flaming barrel at the right end of the street. Use the torch to light the powder keg near the truck. The explosion clears the way to the next Area.

Area 3: Open Square with Army Truck

Enemy soldiers continually respawn from the truck parked across the exit. So you'll need to fight soldiers—or avoid them—as you do the necessary business here.

First, build a whip pad near the entrance but don't climb up yet. Bust up the crates in the middle of the square and use the leftover bits to build a pedestal. Then build a fan out of the bits on the far right. Now you're ready to go.

Run to the left and use the whip pad to climb to the ledge above. Approach the wardrobe and press A to make Indy put on a military disguise. Hop down and run to the far right. If you stay toward the foreground as you go, the soldiers won't be as likely to attack. Use the fan to lift Indy to the room above. Use the military access panel to call for an airdrop. A plane then passes overhead, dumping a crate of bits in the middle of the square. Jump down and use these to build a machine gun on top of the pedestal you built earlier.

Note that if Indy dies, he loses the disguise and can't use the access panel. So you'll have to go back to the ledge with the wardrobe to get another.

After building the machine gun, return to the military access panel and use it again to call for another shipment of bits. This time the plane drops 2 piles. Use both of them to build a lever and a crank. Turn the crank to point the machine gun at the truck. Then pull the lever to fire. No more truck. No more soldiers.

Exit through the opening where the truck was parked.

Area 4: Swordsman Showdown

The level's Boss: The Cairo Swordsman appears on the ledge above. At first he sends 2 henchmen down to fight for him. When you smash the two swordsmen in white, a pistol appears on the ground below the swordsman. Grab it, move back a bit and start shooting. When the boss has taken a little damage, he'll jump down so you can punch him. After a few solid hits, he jumps back onto the wall and the process begins again.

Fight the 2 swordsmen in white to make the pistol reappear. Grab it, step back and shoot the boss. When he jumps down, punch him. After doing this two or three times, the boss will fall and the level will end.
