Indiana Jones Great Circle: How to avoid the sand trap inside the Gizeh pyramid

by

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has its fair share of nail-biting moments. The Idol of Ra quest is one such instance where you’re racing against time to escape an ever-filling sand trap.

In the concluding phase of “The Idol of Ra” adventure in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, our hero Indy will uncover the main artifact within one of the pyramids. Regrettably, grabbing the statuette will activate a sand trap, making it simple to be entombed there and meet an untimely demise. Our guide shows us how to escape the pyramid before it is engulfed by sand.

Reaching the Idol of Ra and activating the trap

  1. You will reach the pyramid chamber with the Idol of Ra at the end of your visit to Gizeh, as part of the main storyline. This will happen shortly after solving the Cave of Darkness puzzle and dealing with the blind giant; we described it on a separate page of the guide.
  2. Indy will grab the Idol of Ra only to learn a few moments later that it has activated a trap: sand will start flowing into the chamber and you will have to get to the surface before the pyramid fills up completely.

How to avoid the sand trap and escape from the pyramid?

  1. Initially, remain still and allow some sand to flow into the room. Head towards the upper opening shown in the screenshot above.
  2. It is very important to keep pressing the jump button regularly: this is the only way Indy will stay on the sand and will not be pulled inside (this would mean instant death).

  1. Once you get to the opening, start sprinting. The escape path is linear, but you’ll need to use the whip along the way (see the screenshot). If you’re having trouble getting the whip button to appear, try activating it while jumping.

  1. Indy will slide down, thanks to which you will return to the surface and this sequence will come to an end.

Just moments after exiting the pyramid, it will be crucial for you to safeguard Indiana Jones from potential scorpion assaults. For information regarding how to ward off these creatures, please refer to our guide titled “Avoiding Scorpions.
