Indiana Jones Great Circle: Tips and tricks
- Do not run in guarded locations and stun enemies with surprise attacks. You can use any melee weapon for this purpose or, as a last resort, even the grip of Indy's revolver.
- Buy skills from the books you acquire. You can find new books during exploration or purchase them in stores. Look for the best books, for example those that allow you to extend your health bar.
- Photograph objects and characters in your surroundings. You can unlock the camera in the main storyline while you are in the Vatican - you can use it to receive Adventure Points and solve new types of puzzles.
- Look around for places to use the whip. They may be above your head because the locations in the game are vertical. The whip will allow you, for example, to reach a high ledge or balcony.
- Be careful in locations with dogs. German Shepherds may deal severe damage to Indy. You can scare them with gunshots and by using Indiana's whip.
- Use the hero's journal. As you play the game, the hero may mark places for optional activities or locations with collectibles. Browse through its different tabs.
