Indiana Jones and his assistant, Gina, are deep in the ancient ruins of Sukhothai, a city rich with history and mystery. While exploring the temple complex, they stumble upon a challenge known as “The Great Game.” This is a great challenge that requires strategic thinking along with the precise positioning of the characters to unlock the secret hidden within the temple walls.
Highlights
- The Great Game Puzzle: This is an extremely intricate puzzle that involves strategically placing characters to line up stone pillars and open temple doors.
- Character Placement: The game needs the placement of certain NPCs and Indiana Jones on the board.
- Temple Exploration: After solving the puzzle, players can explore the temple, dive into underwater chambers, and swing across gaps to collect valuable relics.
How to Start the Great Game Puzzle
Okay, so Indy and Gina have found themselves in another abandoned temple, this time in Sukhothai. They’ve stumbled on a puzzle this time known as “The Great Game.” The Great Game is a big puzzle inside Wat Mahathat in the “The Blessed Pearl” adventure. You have to use people to solve it, kind of like moving pieces on a board. This game features four distinctive characters (NPCs). One can play with these NPCs and steer them toward the pressure plate.
The trick is that all four need to be on the plate, and the order makes no difference. However, before you can do that, you need to position these NPCs on specific spots on the game board. Once they are in the correct positions, the stone pillars within the temple will all align and face north, towards the entrance. Locate the entrance to the Hidden Temple at Wat Mahathat. Watch the cutscene until Indy comes back with more villagers.
How to Solve the Great Game/ Big Board Game Puzzle
The game “The Great Game” has four characters you can control. You need to guide them to specific spots on a board. Once they’re in the right places, they should face a certain direction – North, towards the temple entrance. The goal is to get them to stand on pressure plates, but it doesn’t matter who stands where or in what order.
Here’s how to solve the puzzle:
- First NPC: We placed the first NPC on the Second Column and the First Row of the game board.
- Second NPC: We placed the second NPC in the first column and the second row.
- Third NPC: We placed the third NPC in the third column and the second row.
- Fourth NPC: We placed the fourth NPC on the Fourth Column and the Fifth Row.
- Indiana Jones: Finally, we had Indiana Jones stand on the Fifth Column and the Fourth Row.
This specific arrangement of NPCs and Indiana Jones caused the stone pillars to all face north, successfully solving the puzzle! Once all five characters (the four NPCs and Indiana Jones) are standing on their designated pressure plates, the doors leading into the temple will finally open.
Once you enter the temple, you’ll see a body of water. Dive into it to find a treasure, the Sukhothai Relic. As you continue, you’ll need to swing across a gap to reach another relic. The last relic is in a pond full of leeches. Use your whip to cross the gap, then hop across the rocks to get it.
Tips
- Strategic Placement: The key to solving the Great Game puzzle is to place characters strategically on the game board. Try various configurations to align the NPCs with respect to the stone pillars.
- Temple Exploration Once the puzzle is solved, explore the hidden chambers in the temple, the underwater areas, and treacherous gaps for finding some valuable relics.
- Use Indiana Jones’ Skills: Utilize Indiana Jones’ iconic whip and acrobatic ability to overcome obstacles and arrive at hidden treasures.
- Pay Attention to Detail: Observe the environment for clues and hints that can aid in solving the puzzle and uncovering the temple’s secrets.
