Desert road

Chests No. 1, 2 and 3

For the first chest, ride one of the horses on the road to the alcoves next to the blockade. Leap off the horses and on to the alcoves, then jump up to the top ledge reach the first chest. Additionally, go left after you get the chest and use Indy's whip to pull down a machine. This will make R2-D2 drop down, one of five hidden Star Wars characters you must find to unlock a secret character in the game. The second chest is in the cave. Place the object lying by the entrance on to the statue to make the chest appear. The last chest requires you to destroy three metal objects with the bulldozer. The first is located right near where you start out. The second one if unfinished, and you must destroy one of the items nearby to complete it before it can be destroyed. The final object is buried along the road. Have Sallah dig it up to break it. The chest appears after all three are destroyed.

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

Chests No. 4, 5 and 6

Two of these chests require you to make Vogel aim at where you are standing, then quickly duck out of the blast. While going for the last landmine, make Vogel destroy the cart and cylinder with his bazooka, then use the debris to build an oil drill. The drill will not only spew out studs, it will also eventually cause a chest to burst out, covered in black oil. The second chest must be obtained by first having Vogel destroy the two cylinders at the north section of the area. Use the parts from the destroyed cylinders to make a sprinkler that causes plants to grow nearby, as well as causing the chest to appear. For the last chest, go up to ramp with the rails and have Sallah dig on the glowing spot at the top to unearth a box. Place the box on the green pad, then use the pieces inside to complete the mine cart. Push the mine cart down the tracks to have it crash into a mine entrance, letting you collect the chest hidden inside.

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.
