Purpose of the chapter
- Track down and apprehend intruder at college.
- The next day: Solve the exhibition puzzle at the museum, get the pendant (“Giant’s Pendant”) and continue the story.
The night of the break-in
From the office to the intruder
After the cutscene, you will start in a dark hallway near Indy’s office. Go straight through the door into the room with the broken window.
Take the stairs on the left to go upstairs, then turn right at the top into the large hall with a balcony.
Follow the balcony until you see the stairs at the end. Go down to the reception/museum level.
At the bottom left, a red carpet leads to closed doors—push through these doors, and you will encounter the intruder for the first time.
The first fight
- A fight ensues; whether you win or lose doesn’t matter—the story continues immediately and Indy is overwhelmed either way.
- So you don’t have to fight “perfectly” here; use the scene more as a combat tutorial.
The Next Day & Museum Puzzle
The actual exploration part of the chapter begins in the morning.
Get your bearings & pick up a map
You start again in the college, this time in daylight. Go forward into the room with the broken window and then up the stairs again.
Follow the corridor and enter the large museum hall. Downstairs in the reception area, there is a free information board with flyers—there is a college map there that you should take with you.
The map will mark your destination in the future, making navigation much easier.
Exhibition puzzle at the museum
Now you have to place exhibits correctly in the museum to advance the story.
- In the exhibition, you will see several empty spaces and display cases.
- Interact with the marked objects/artifacts and match them to the descriptions and panels (e.g., correct artifact to correct continent/topic).
- If everything is correct, there will be a short cutscene, and you can follow the next objective.
The bookshelf & the giant pendant
Go to the lower area of the student lounge/reception area with the large broken window and an overturned bookcase.
Interact with the fallen shelf to help put it back up.
Climb up the shelf – the Giant’s Pendant is hanging in the broken window, so grab it.
- The pendant is mandatory; without it, the story cannot continue.
Then follow Marcus into the office, where you will find a drawing/sketch (Temple Map) on his desk as another note. Enter the back room, pack your suitcase, and your journey to Rome can begin.
