Quick Links
Like the Strange Inscriptions in the Vatican, the Gizeh section ofIndiana Jones And The Great Circlehas ten Stelae to collect, with cryptic clues to the mysterious Nephilim Order. Nawal needs four to smuggle safely to the Cairo Museum, but if you’re feeling adventurous (and why wouldn’t you be?) you can track down all ten to keep them safe from the Third Reich.
Side quests, locked doors, and hidden chambers all stand between you and these carved treasures, so if you need help completing the collection, never fear; this guide will lead you to them.
Quest Stelae
Three Stelae can be recovered asrewards for completing quests. See our walkthroughs for those individual missions, linked below:
Sanctuary of the Guardians
Gizeh Village
A Savage Predicament
TheProtector Steleis obtained as part of the main storyline; the other two Fieldwork missions are optional, but strongly recommended. You can’t start A Savage Predicament until after you’ve infiltrated and escaped the Nazi Compound.
Vehicle Depot Stelae
The Vehicle Depot is therestricted area closest to the center of the map, west of the Recreation Area. Approach from the north toenter a large tentwithout having to pass through the fence or a checkpoint.
Harvest Stele
Inside the tent,check the back of the large truck in the centerto find a chest with a combination lock. Thetable to the left of the truckhas a note with the combination:0805.Opening the chest will allow you to take the Harvest Stele from inside.
The table with the note, as well as another to the right of the truck, each have cash boxes that can be broken open with a hammer, wrench, or other tool, and contain 100 Reichsmarks each.
Sebek Stele
Leave the tent by the north exit, the same way you came in, andtravel straight east.You’ll come to a sealed tomb entrance. Take one of the sledgehammers lying outside the entryway andsmash the wallto reveal the tunnel beyond.
At the end of the tunnel,use the lighterto burn the straw barrier blocking the door, thenuse your whipto lower yourself toward the pit of spikes. From here, you’re able to see ahidden platformbelow where you came in; swing to it andpull the lever on the wallto open the gate above.
Climb back up the whip and swing to the open gate; the Sebek Stele ison the left in the room beyond.
Sphinx Temple Ruins Stelae
The ruinseast of the Great Sphinx- directly between the Workers' Area and the Village - hide two Stelae that you’llneed the Lighterin order to retrieve.
Death Stele
The southern part of the ruins consists ofseveral square chambers, with a few guards patrolling. Make your way to the back, where you’ll find astaircase leading to a dead-end.Look at the floor near the wall on the left side of the room; there is somestraw that you can burn with the lighter, revealing a narrow passage to crawl through.
On the other side is atricky swinging segment. You need toswing across the chasm, thenquickly latch the whip onto the rafter ahead of youbefore you fall. This will allow you to reach the far side, where theDeath Stelewaits to be collected.
Yes, you have to do the swinging trick again to get back to the entrance.
Giant Stele
Head northeast from the lower ruins until you see alone guard seated. You can ignore him if you want, or knock him out and steal his cookies. Behind him and to the northeast is ashaft that you can climb down using the whip.
There are some pillars around the shaft that make it easier to spot amidst the rest of the sand and rubble.
In the chamber at the bottom,look for another bundle of straw to burn, letting you crawl through a tunnel. The Giant Stele is within easy reach on the other side.
Khafre Excavation Stelae
Two Stelae can be found at the Khafre Excavation Site on the west side of the map and the attached Mortuary Temple Ruins.
Ra Stele
Don your disguise of choice andgo to the Khafre Excavation Site. There are many tunnels to explore here; the one you want isa large sandstone entrancewest of the main tent.
Go inside anduse the sledgehammer leaning against the wallto smash the loose stones to the right. In the chamber beyond,use your Lighterto ignite the oil lamp on the right and the straw to the left.
Crawl through the tunnel that the straw was blocking andpull the chain at the end of the corridorto open the locked gate by the lamp. Crawl back through the tunnel and pass through to findanother double-rafter swing challenge.Once again, you’ll need toquickly whip the second rafterwhile you’re in the air to catch it before you fall.
This pit requires you to swing in from the side before you’re in position to actually leap across;eat fruit to fill up your staminaso that you may take as much time as you need to get your jump right.
Once you’re on the other side, you cango up the stairsto unlock a door that leads back to the surface, but you don’t need to do so right away; you still have a Stele to collect. Move out onto thenarrow ledge to the right of where you landed.With a running start, you canjump across the chasmto reach the open door on the other side. The Ra Stele ison the floor in the sunlit room beyond.
Victory Stele
Go to theMortuary Temple Ruinsat the southeast edge of the Khafre digsite. You’ll see an unguarded tomb covered inwarning signs in German.If you can’t read German, you’ll find out what the signs are about upon stepping inside;the tomb is infested with scorpions.
Take a torch from the basket just inside the entranceand light it. Swing the flame at the scorpions whenever they get too close until youhave a path to the straw barrier at the rear of the chamber. Burn it and crawl through the tunnel.
Amon Stele
The final Stele is in Voss' possession - he keeps it in alocked room below his office.You’ll need the Wehrmacht Key in order to get it, which is only obtainableafter you’ve infiltrated the Nazi Compound once.That means you’ll have togo back for the Amon Stele, since you won’t have the key on your first visit.
How To Get The Wehrmacht Key
The Wehrmacht Key is in a guard tower at thecheckpoint east of the compound, where you emerge after escaping the collapsed tunnels. You can get in byclimbing the back of the tower with your whip, then making your way to the open window at the front. There’s only a single guard inside, and you’ll get the key when youpick up the Wehrmacht Uniformon the first floor.
Where Is The Amon Stele?
Return to Voss’s Office in thetower of the Nazi Compound. Having the Wehrmacht Uniform will make this much easier. You can enter by the main gate to the west, orunlock the gate near the eastern checkpoint’s washing areato get in near the Detention Center.
The storeroom ison the first floor, all the way to the rear. Once you use the Wehrmacht Key to get in, the Stele will beon a shelf to your left.Don’t forget tocollect the Medicine Bottle and other pickupsin the room before you leave.
If you need a hasty exit, there’s an open window in the storeroom that you can escape through. It’s a bit of a drop, but not enough that you’ll take damage as long as you jump to the scaffolding below first.
Once you have all ten Stelae,put them in the box by the delivery truck outside Nawal’s tent.Her agent will reward you with an Ancient Relic.
