Summary
Indiana Jones and the Great Circleis a mix of different genres. While it’s a linear action-adventure game at times, there are three open areas for you to explore at will. Therefore, you won’t have seen or completed everything you can in the game by the time you’ve beaten the story.
Once the credits roll, you’ll be able to jump back in and head to any of the locations you’ve been to before. Whether you’ve got collectibles to find or side quests to complete, you’ll be back to where you were before starting the game’s concluding mission.
7Beat The Story On A Harder Difficulty
To make things more accessible, difficulty is split into two in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. You can choose different settings for both combat and puzzle solving. Therefore, if you’re looking for an easier time when it comes to puzzle solving or you don’t enjoy fumbling around with the combat, you can simplify things.
Once you’ve beaten the game, you can jump back in to try the game on more challenging difficulties. The enemies can hit harder and the puzzles give you fewer hints; you just need to tinker with the settings a little.
6Defeat All Of The Boxing Champions
There arenine boxing championsto beat across the three open areas. By finding a disguise in The Vatican, Gizeh, and Sukhothai, you can get into an underground boxing ring to try and earn some money.
In each boxing ring, you face off against three enemies who get increasingly powerful. You can’t use any weapons, relying solely on your ability to dodge and parry in hand-to-hand combat. They’re definitely worth completing because you’ll get a lot of money to do so and there are some great books on offer there.
The disguises in each open location also mean you won’t be noticed in the nearby restricted locations.
5Unlock All Of The Achievements
This is a simple one that applies to any game. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has45 achievementsyou can unlock, and some will require some clean up once the story is over.
While you’ll probably unlock half of them by simply playing the game normally, you’ll need to find all the collectibles too. Also, you’ll need to do some silly things like hit an enemy with an apple or knock an enemy out with a flyswatter. There’s a fun mix of stuff for both completionists and players looking for something silly to do in their action games.
4Find All Book Upgrades
Unlocking skills and upgrades works a little differently in The Great Circle. Rather than levelling up and getting skill points, you only get access to upgrades when you find the specific books tied to them. Once you’ve found a book for a skill you want to have, you need to spend Adventure Points to buy them.
That means you have to put some work into getting all of the books and all of the abilities in the game. Scattered throughout quests and the three open locations, you’ll need to do some hunting to find the best books. Interestingly, some of the best books are the most hidden.
You should complete all side quests before searching for the remaining books. Some Fieldwork or Mystery quests will reward you with books that add the location of other books to your map.
3Complete All Fieldwork And Mysteries
If you’re a fan of the puzzles in The Great Circle, the Mysteries will be some of the most fun you’ll have. Whether it be using notes to figure out safe codes or finding hidden items, the challenge is always really well-designed.
Fieldwork questsare more substantial, often involving new characters to meet and multiple parts to complete. Also, they generally tie into the main story, so they’re worth completing to learn more about the central conflict. You can head back into the open world to complete all the side quests once the main story is over.
2Find All Collectibles
There are hundreds of collectibles to find in The Great Circle. There are photo ops, ancient relics, books, radio frequencies, and notes, all of which are kept track of in your journal.
If you’re able to complete all of the side quests and buy all of the books from each location’s vendor, you’ll have the locations of all collectibles jotted down on your map. All you need to do is head out to get them. The main collectibles, Ancient Relics, tie into the final thing there is to do after beating the game.
Some of the collectibles are also tied to the Fieldwork and Mystery quests, so you’ll be finding some as you complete side quests.
1Open The Secret Vault In Iraq
In the game’s final section, you may have stumbled across a massive wall with holes in it. This is actually a puzzle that requires you to find all the Ancient Relics first.
Once you have done so, you need to place all the relics into the holes in the wall. However, placing them just anywhere won’t do the trick. You need to place the relics in the right holes so that all the holes are filled in by the moving objects. Once you’ve done that, the doors will open for some exciting rewards. It’s likely the final thing you’ll do after completing everything else in the game.
