Desert road
There is a blockade along the road that you cannot destroy for now. You must find a way to break through the blockade, but first you must find three crates and place them on the green spots around the broken down convoy. First things first, you must defeat the many enemy soldiers scattered along the road. A few of the Brotherhood members will help you to fight them off.

For the first crate, destroy every wheel on the lower-right truck to make it break down. Use the pieces from the broken-down truck to make the crate, then place it on the nearby pad. For the second crate, get to the very right end of the road. Jump into the horse, then leap to the ledge around the spire. Grab the crate there and carry it over to the green pad. The final crate is located on an alcove high on the ground. You must first destroy some wooden bars blocking a cave entrance to reach a new area.

Inside the cave, use Sallah to dig up some machine parts. Use the parts to rebuild the machine nearby, which operates the elevator that takes you to a higher level in the cave. Walk along the upper level of the cave until you see a tunnel, then go through it to return to the main area. Grab the crate and place it on the elevator to the right of the alcove to safely deliver it to the ground. Place it on the last green spot, then use all the pieces to construct a bulldozer. With the immense power of the bulldozer, you can now destroy the blockade on the road! Drive right through it to reach the next area.

Boss: Vogel's Tank
Indy and Sallah encounter Vogel once again, but this time he is equipped with a bazooka, as well as protected by the impenetrable armor of a tank. His bazooka shots are instant-death if you are hit, and neither fists nor shovel can dent the steel armor of the tank. Vogel will alternate between firing volleys of shots at you and driving around in the tank. You must build landmines and have Vogel drive the tank over them in order to damage the tank. For the first two landmines, simply direct Vogel's shots towards the two metallic carts to destroy them, giving you pieces to build two landmines.

The very last landmine requires a bit more work. Use the pieces by the left alcove to build a ladder leading up to it. Climb up the alcove, then jump across the two wooden plank bridges to reach a crate. Push the crate down to the ground, then use the pieces inside to build the landmine. Now you just have to wait until Vogel drives his tank over it to finish him off. With the tank severely damaged, Vogel drives it through the blockade at the back of the area to escape. You don't have to follow him immediately. With Vogel out of the area, you can now safely explore the rest of this clearing, collecting any studs remaining.

The tank battle continues
Vogel and his tank is still fit for battle, and his constant bazooka shots can make exploring the area quite difficult. You have to ride one of the horses to the lowest alcove, then leap off of the horse to land on the alcove. From there, jump to the ledges at the right, double-jumping the gaps bridged by the wooden planks that collapse if you land on them. Continue to the right to make Vogel crash through the boulders crash through some boulders and leave the area. Once again, you don't have to follow him into the next section. Stay and get any remaining studs or chests you have yet to collect.

Boss: Tanktop Vogel
Indy and Sallah make one more attempt at stopping Vogel, this time by jumping on to his tank and fighting him. However, to defeat Vogel, they must contend with his soldiers first. The boss battle is fairly straightforward. You are situated on Vogel's tank and touching the ground is instant death. Some trucks will frequently drive by, bringing soldiers to attack you. Simply defeat truck after truck of soldiers to make Vogel fight you directly. Instead of a bazooka, he will fight you with a pistol, so he is not as threatening now. Attack him a few times to make him jump back into the tank. Do this a few times to defeat Vogel!

With Vogel knocked out, the tank veers straight off a cliff. Indy narrowly jumps off the tank before it plummets into the ground. As Indy and Sallah celebrate their victory over Vogel, Henry angrily reminds them of the search of the Holy Grail.
