Get ready to grab your iconic gear and dive into the exhilarating world of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, now available in early access for Xbox Series X|S consoles and Game Pass users. Just like in any grand adventure, having some handy advice can be a game-changer, so the Wire team is here to offer you some top tips and tricks that will help you navigate your journey without giving anything away.
Capturing the Action
In Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, documenting your discoveries is crucial, and your trusty camera will be your best friend. Once you reach the Vatican, purchasing this all-important tool will not only advance your adventure but also help you gain experience points that unlock new perks and skills essential for your journey.
Exploring Virtually
When you’re in locations filled with history or fascinating artifacts, a camera icon will pop up on your screen. This is your cue to pause, soak in the scenery, and take photos of notable designs or objects. Snapping these moments will add to your Adventure Points, which—when combined with knowledge from books you collect or buy—can upgrade your abilities, from improving melee attacks to boosting stamina. These upgrades will be especially useful for players who enjoy the vast array of melee tactics available in the game.
Assisting the Locals
As you wander through bustling streets, keep your ears open for NPCs talking about landmarks or people they want pictures of. Responding to their calls by providing the images they desire will swiftly accumulate those Adventure Points for you.
Stay Armed and Ready
Indy isn’t picky when it comes to weapons—he can make use of everything from shovels to flyswatters. But if you’re caught without anything, don’t worry. Your revolver might not come with a silencer, but it has a neat trick up its sleeve. Pressing X when the gun is out lets Indy flip the grip for a quiet yet effective pistol whipping. Just be cautious; the gun can get damaged after a few hits. Fortunately, Repair Kits are scattered throughout the game to fix it up.
Choose Your Battles Wisely
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle offers levels filled with secrets, puzzles, and treasures. It’s tempting to tackle everything head-on, but sometimes the smartest move is to walk away temporarily. Exploring the main storyline often opens new areas and even makes hostile territories less threatening as Indy gathers disguises. Characters along the way will alert you when tidying up loose ends is necessary, so enjoy the journey without worrying about what you might miss.
Brains or Brawn?
While Indy’s intellect is his sharpest asset, sometimes brute force saves the day. You might stumble upon locked wooden boxes—rather than hunting for a key, try smashing them open with a hammer. Similarly, a strong sledgehammer can take down fragile walls, so keep an eye out for signs of weakness in the environment.
We hope these insights help you embrace your inner Indiana Jones as you embark on your Great Circle adventure. Enjoy exploring, solving puzzles, and engaging in the thrilling action that awaits!
