The Golden Idol
Welcome to Indiana Jones and the Golden Idol! This is the latest adventure game on Xbox and PC, and it’s actually pretty good! Along with Indy’s usual bullwhip and wise-cracking wit, there’s also a slew of puzzles and some pretty decent action too.
This guide will walk you through the game, give some general tips around combat and best practices for handling objectives, along with all the puzzle solutions too.
The game throws you straight into the action, offering minimal handholding, so lets get cracking!
You’ll begin in the Peruvian jungle, accompanied by two guides. After a brief introduction, you simply need to follow the linear path
Continue along the path and you’ll come to some vines. Approach them and press the X button (on Xbox) or [E] (on PC) to clear the way. Indy will automatically reach out with his hand, prompting you to press another button to swipe the vines aside.
Keep following the guide, turning left at the stream and making your way to the outdoor tent, There, you’ll find “Warrior of the Clouds” Book which you can collect. Approach the book and interact with it to collect this important item.
Continue on the trail, then interact with the tree marked via a white marker. After the cutscene, lift the tree
Next, you’ll need to lift a fallen tree blocking the path.
Doing so initiates a brief cutscene with an button prompt to use your whip. Simply press the corresponding button.
Before heading up the steps with your remaining guide, turn around and follow the shore of the nearby lake. Move through the weeds, sticking close to the water.
Head forward and you’ll find a wrecked structure. Inside, you’ll find the Chachapoyan Urn Artifact. Once collected, backtrack to the steps and proceed upward with the guide. Don’t worry about deviating to the right, there’s nothing there.
The Cave
At the top of the steps, you’ll uncover a hidden entrance, triggering another cutscene. Once it ends, you’ll regain control of Indiana inside a dark, foreboding cave. You can run ahead if you like, and soon you’ll come to a spiderweb. Press X to clear the path forward and another cutscene will initiate.
During the scene, Sapito will be swarmed by spiders. Follow the on-screen prompts to remove the spiders and then “Touch Light” by moving upward when prompted.
Once the path is clear, you’ll encounter your first trap. Simply crouch under the beam and hug the left wall. Next, use your whip to swing across the chasm by attaching and swinging across.
The Temple
Inside the temple, you’ll be greeted by your first puzzle. The room is filled with traps, and you’ll need to tread carefully to avoid triggering them.
This is a simple enough puzzle, you basically just need to press the stone tiles with a circular mark on them. If you hit the others, then you will be injured by darts so pay attention to where you place your market down.
Next, approach the podium and swap the idol with the sandbag by pressing A and swiping left to adjust the weight.
The moment you claim the Idol, the temple begins collapsing around you. Turn around and rush to the exit. However, wait at the edge of the gap where you swung over with your whip. If you go too fast and jump right away, it’ll make you repeat the section.
After waiting for the cutscene with Sapito to end, continue sprinting to escape. As you do, this chapter will come to an end and the prologue (at least part 1 of it!) will be over.
Congratulations, you’ve completed the prologue and claimed the first treasure of the game!
