Lego Indiana Jones Hints

Pursuing the Ark

  • 1 of 8: You'll need Explode and a lot of patience for this one.
  • 2 of 8: Remember the crane at the beginning of the level? Did you realize you can use it on people?
  • 3 of 8: After you use the crane to move the huge cylinder, swing it around to grab your partner and drop him/her on the platform behind the crane at the left.
  • 4 of 8: Toggle over to the guy on the ledge and smash stuff for studs, then grab the parcel and drop down to the ground. You can see the mailbox on the upper level behind a gate; now we just have to find a way to get up there and raise that gate.
  • 5 of 8: Drop the parcel for now and toggle to a guy with Explode, then take out the silver bars below the mailbox to reveal a lever. Pull it to open the gate to the mailbox and raise a set of stairs -- but don't cheer yet.
  • 6 of 8: The stairs and the gate are on a timer (which you can see above the mailbox), and a really short one at that. As soon as you can move again after pulling the switch, grab the parcel and head up the stairs. You might find it easier to get up the steps if you jump and stop, jump and stop, rather than pushing constantly, which seems to hang you up. (Incidentally, I tried to drop the parcel on the spot that's going to turn into the stairs before pulling the switch, but the game won't let you. Blast it.)
  • 7 of 8: When you finally get to the top with the parcel, give a little yip of satisfaction and bolt over to the mailbox. If the gate closes before you get there, don't freak; just drop the parcel on the top ledge, then go down and pull the switch again, bounce up the stairs, grab the parcel, and mail it. It's a lot easier to get up the stairs without the parcel, believe me
  • 8 of 8: This one gives you Fast Build, so it's worth all the effort.
