The Indiana Jones Light Chamber puzzle unlocks the Three Eyed Gate by moving light beams to create different symbols. It’s the last and most complex light beam puzzles in the Gizeh area that started with the Indiana Jones Sanctuary of the Guardians puzzles, testing everything you’ve learned about them so far and adding in a shape-making mechanic.
It means there are a lot of moving parts to this puzzle, so it takes a while to figure it out and solve, but I can help you get through the Three Eyed Gate puzzle in Indian Jones and get closer to the Idol of Ra nice.
Indiana Jones Light Chamber puzzle explained
Getting past the Three Eyed Gate involves solving a multistage light puzzle after completing the Indiana Jones Chamber of Resonance puzzle. In short, you’ve got to recreate the shapes on the three discs in the middle of the gate by shining beams of light onto the surrounding shapes.
However, you’ll notice in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle that this main room has only one beam pointing at the gate at the start, which means your first goal is to get more light beams to work with, so here’s how the entire Chamber of Light puzzle works in Indiana Jones:
- Start by shining the central mirror at the top shape on the right. This opens a door on your left which leads to another mirror.
- Use this new mirror to direct a beam of light through the gap in the collapsed rocks and onto the mirror on the right in the main room.
- Go back to the main room and direct the central mirror onto the top shape in the left column, then move the right mirror to shine on the middle shape in the right column. This opens the door on your right which has a symbol made up of the two you've just highlighted.
- Head through the door and then the corridor on the right to find a loose brass mirror.
- Pick up the mirror and carry it to the other open door on the right side of the main room, where you’ll find a shining pedestal but with no mirror.
- Place the mirror on it, and the beam will hit the mirror on the left, back in the main room. So now you have three mirrors in the main room you can use to recreate the symbols on the Three Eyed Gate.
Indiana Jones Light Chamber Three Eyed Gate symbol combinations
- For the top symbol of the Three Eyes Gate, direct the left beam to the bottom-left shape. If you haven’t moved the other two beams, they should already be in the correct position, so this will solve itself. It should look like this:
- For the middle symbol of the light puzzle, move the central beam up to the top-right shape and the right beam down to the middle-left shape so it looks like this:
- For the final symbol at the bottom, move the central beam down to the bottom-right shape and the left beam across to the middle-right shape, which looks like this.
Once all three locking discs have moved away from the middle you will have solved the Light Chamber puzzle and The Three Eyed Gate will open. You can now go much deeper into the ancient caves beneath the pyramid and continue on with your adventure as it nears the end of the Gizeh leg.
These tactile puzzles are what make this Indy game one of the best adventure games you can play.
