Our packed Indiana Jones and the Great Circle guide has tips and walkthroughs on all sorts of puzzles and mysteries found throughout the game, covering the Vatican, Gizeh, and Sukhothai. Each of these regions is filled with side activities, secrets, and collectibles to complete, and while many of them aren't essential to the main story, getting as many as you can done will help a lot during Indy's escapade.
Below, we've got guides covering the basics, such as beginner tips we wish we knew before starting and how to get some of the first keys, as well as Indiana Jones guides covering the more complex puzzles found later in the game.

How long is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle?
Want to know how long it takes to beat Indiana Jones and the Great Circle? We've got some rough estimates in our linked guide, though the length of Indy's adventure varies a lot depending on things like your difficulty options, combat proficiency, puzzle-solving, and how many side activities you undertake.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle basics
Before starting your adventure, you'll need to choose which Indiana Jones and the Great Circle difficulty options you want, helping you set the right level of challenge for combat and puzzles. Soon after getting started, many core mechanics are thrown at you, so our Indiana Jones and the Great Circle tips will help you make sense of it all and get off to a great start.
Once you're past the tutorial, your first notable challenge is solving the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle museum exhibits puzzle in Marshall College.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Vatican guides
The Vatican is the first major stop on Indy's Great Circle journey. It's also absolutely packed with puzzles and side activities involving collectibles, codes, and even more puzzles. Here are the main roadblocks you'll face as you search for the Cat Mummy stolen from Marshall College:
- Finding the Indiana Jones guard house key is the first challenge when it comes to reaching the Vatican properly.
- While not mission-critical, getting the Indiana Jones Blackshirt key and uniform helps a lot when navigating the Vatican, so it's well worth having.
- Much later, the Indiana Jones Sacred Wounds puzzle blocks the way into a tomb.
- After, you'll need to solve the Indiana Jones Fountain of Confession dragon statue puzzle to reveal even more Indiana Jones Fountain Puzzles.
- Descending into a secret monastery, you'll then need to prove yourself by completing the Indiana Jones Silver Path and Indiana Jones Gold Path puzzles.
That takes you to the end of the Vatican section of the game, but there are plenty of side activities to check off your list. You'll undoubtedly come across many of these as you explore the Holy See, but you can always revisit the region to complete these later:
- Indiana Jones Bulls of Blood puzzle
- Indiana Jones Ticket Stub code
- Indiana Jones House of God puzzle box
- Indiana Jones Snake in the Garden bookshelf puzzle
- Indiana Jones Secret of Secrets safe code
- Indiana Jones cellar box code
- Indiana Jones torch puzzle
- Indiana Jones A Date to Remember code
- Indiana Jones Father and Son safe code
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Gizeh guides
The next stop is in Gizeh, having pursued Voss and his Nazi forces to the pyramids of Egypt. There they search for the Idol of Ra across several excavation sites, so it's up to Indy to find it first:
- The first part of the Gizeh leg involves Indy helping Nawal gather several stelae, which are scattered all over Gizeh. There are 10 to collect, but she needs only four for now. The Indiana Jones Sanctuary of the Guardians dig under the Sphinx and the Indiana Jones Secret of the Queen Mother fieldwork both end with you collecting a stele and other rewards, so they're worth doing.
- Much later, after infiltrating the large Nazi compound, you should collect the Indiana Jones Wehrmacht key and uniform.
- Closing in on the Idol of Ra, you first need to get through the Indiana Jones Chamber of Resonance.
- Soon after, you need to open the way through the Indiana Jones Light Chamber, and you'll eventually reach your goal.
- Taking a quick detour to the Himalayas, you'll have to solve the Indiana Jones cipher machine code to proceed.
The sands of Gizeh hold plenty of secrets and mysteries waiting to be discovered, and the nearby Nazi encampments have plenty worth stealing too. Here are all the guides we've got on side activities, puzzles, and codes in Gizeh:
- Indiana Jones Cloud Atlas code
- Indiana Jones Seat of Eternity puzzle
- Indiana Jones discarded key
- Indiana Jones Haunted Crypt key
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Sukhothai guides
The race to unlock the secrets of the Great Circle ends in the Sukhothai, the final major region of the game. The dense jungles, waterways, and unique architecture mean there are plenty of unique challenges and puzzles in this area as you near the end of Indy's adventure:
- Your first main task is to buy the rebreather, but you need to gather the local currency, baht, first. I recommend heading to Voss' camp to grab both the Indiana Jones Royal Army key and uniform and decipher the Indiana Jones A Game of Wits code to unlock a safe full of cash.
- Now you can investigate the pyramid and solve the Indiana Jones cogwheel puzzle to get inside.
- This leads you to the Indiana Jones game room puzzle where you need to move some pegs around before you can proceed to the next area.
- Finally, the Indiana Jones Great Game puzzle, which requires the help of several of your companions, gets you to the end of the Sukhothai area, and very close to the end of the game!
Sukhothai's waterways hide many secrets and mysteries for bonus items and rewards. Here are the ones we've found while playing:
