Lego Indiana Jones Hints

What skills do the different characters have?

  • These are the extra skills characters can have and who has them. Note that not every enemy soldier has the disguise ability. Also, any character who picks up a dropped item can use it to perform that skill; for example, anyone who picks up a book can decipher a hieroglyph.
