For the Indiana Jones Sanctuary of the Guardians fieldwork, you’ve got to complete several puzzles and traverse the collapsed hall to escape the sanctuary under the Great Sphinx. Although, your first job is retrieving a gold medallion from a Nazi compound to get into the Sanctuary of the Guardians.

To begin the Sanctuary of the Guardians fieldwork, you need to speak to Gina as she’s monitoring the Nazi radio frequencies in Nawal’s tent.She’ll uncover some information about the Sphinx dig site where you can find the sanctuary.Follow the waypoint on your map over to the Sphinx and then look for the tunnel on its south side – there will be Nazis about who will spot Indy, so stealth is the best approach here, unless you happen to have theIndiana Jones Wehrmacht disguisealready.

Once you get inside, you’ll bump into Gina, find the Digsite Outfit disguise, and realiseyou need some kind of medallion to get through the stone door blocking the way. So, your first job for thisIndiana Jones and the Great Circleside quest is getting that medallion. To ensure the rest of the quest goes smoothly,I’d recommend getting the lighter from the Gizeh Village merchant prior to returning to the sanctuary door too.

To get the gold medallion key in Indiana Jones, you mustsnatch it from a tent in the Nazi Recreational Area– this is a restricted areawest northwest of the Great Sphinx, so you must wear the Digsite Outfit to avoid getting caught, though you still need to watch for Captains as ourIndiana Jones and the Great Circle tipssay.

Head to large tent on the east side of the area and you’ll notice a group of Nazis playing a card gameat a table as you go in. One of the officers will ask you to bring him a bottle, so head around to the other side of the tent and pick up the bottle next to some shot glasses on a desk.

You’ll notice the gold medallion is right next to the bottle, but I recommend handing the bottle back to the officer first as taking too long can cause them all to get angry and start fighting you.Once you’ve handed over the bottle, nab the medallion and get out the recreational area. Now you can head back to the Sphinx and use the medallion to finally get into the Sanctuary of the Guardians.

With that, you can retrieve the gold mask, which Gina will then take and start goofing. Take a photo of her and a cutscene will play that leads you into the next part of the sanctuary, which involves avoiding a lot of scorpions using your lighter and some torches. Then you’ll eventually reach the mirror statue puzzle to wrap up this tomb raid.

The mirror statue puzzle in the Sanctuary of the Guardians is thankfully pretty easy and uses the same mirror reflection mechanic as the last puzzle. Here’s how it works:

This will complete the puzzle and open the way out of this chamber, letting you reach the final challenge – a small climbing puzzle where you’ve got to get across a collapsed hall and avoid some scorpions.

After completing the mirror statue of light puzzle, your final challenge is to traverse the collapsed hall with Gina’s help. You’ll notice this area has a beam of light shining at nothing in particular, but Gina will eventually ask that yougive her a leg up so that she can reach the mirrorand shine it at the scorpions to keep them away.

After that, you need toget onto the collapsed pillar and jump up to grab onto the ledge. Start climbing across to the right until you can’t move any further, then look up and right to spot apole you can grapple with the whip, letting you swing across. Once you land on the ground, run up the stairs to get away from the scorpions and reunite with Gina.

Now you can grab a torch and carry on through the dark corridors to reach the Protector Stele treasure and the sanctuary exit. Once you’re out the Sphinx and watch the cutscene with Indy and Gina, you’ve finished the Sanctuary of the Guardians fieldwork and will get 400 Adventure Points!

You can head back to Nawal to hand the stele over for the Idol of Ra quest or, if you’ve already handed over the four she requires, you can give them to the delivery boy for the Belongs in a Museum side quest.This is only a small part of Indy’s globetrotting journey, so be sure to read our Indiana Jones and the Great Circle reviewto find out what we think of the whole adventure.© GamesRadar+.
