Entering the Hidden Pyramid
As Indiana Jones and Gina steer their boat closer to the pyramid, the first challenge rears its head literally. A massive snake, Indy’s greatest fear, makes its presence known. Its lethality is unmatched; one wrong move and it’s game over. But fear not, strategy will ensure your survival.
How to Avoid the Snake
- Stay in Cover: Dive between hollow towers to avoid open water where the snake prowls. Equip your Rebreather to ensure you have enough air to make each dash count.
- Tower Maneuvering:
- Begin at the rightmost tower, accessible directly from the boat.
- Push aside a stone block inside the tower and wait for the snake to swim by.
- Carefully chart a course from one hollow tower to another, using sunlight and skeletal remains as markers.
- Finally, locate the underwater stairs leading to the pyramid entrance. Move a slab to slip inside, narrowly evading the snake.
Exploring the Pyramid’s Depths
Now safe from the snake (temporarily), the adventure intensifies. Begin by catching your breath and exploring the first chamber.
Discover Hidden Treasures
- Ancient Relic 1: Backtrack slightly in the flooded chamber to find a muddy platform hiding a relic.

The Giant Snake, an unrelenting foe, emerges for a final battle beneath the elephant skeleton. Armed with spears, you’ll need both skill and strategy to emerge victorious.
Tips for Victory
