Lego Indiana Jones Hints

Phobias

  • Indy's fear of snakes, Willie's fear of bugs, and Elsa's (and Henry's) fear of rats can be annoying. The way it works in play is that the person with the phobia goes into a trembling crouch when they get near the thing they're afraid of. This, as you might imagine, makes them pretty well useless -- they can't fight, run, or do anything at all except whimper and hide their face in their hands, until they either wander away or someone else destroys the "threat."

    Luckily, the solution for you is pretty simple. All you have to do is toggle to your partner or (in Free Play) switch to someone else who doesn't have the same problem. If you're in an area where you have to get a phobic character past the object of their fear (for example, when you have to get Indy to a ledge on the other side of a snake pit), use the non-phobic (or differently-phobic) partner to find a way. Snakes, bugs, and rats are all afraid of fire, which means you can use torches or other flames to drive them away.
