Ready to step into the shoes of one of adventure’s most iconic characters? Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are calling you—and they’re accessible now on Xbox Series X|S and Game Pass through early access. As much as life’s grandest adventures don’t come with a handbook, a bit of savvy advice can go a long way, which is why the Wire team has put together some useful, spoiler-free hints and tips to help you dive right into your adventure-packed journey.
Capturing the Action
In Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, unraveling great mysteries isn’t just about snapping your whip, but also about snapping photos. As you start your journey at the Vatican, buying a camera becomes an invaluable move. Not only will it help you progress through the storyline, but it will also earn you experience points unlocking handy new perks and skills.
Time for a Virtual Voyage
Whenever you find yourself close to historical treasures or key landmarks, your screen will prompt you to fire up your camera. That’s your cue to halt, take in the scenery, and capture any intriguing objects you find. Snap photos of these notable items to boost your Adventure Points, which you can use alongside various knowledge books found or bought throughout your travels. Upgrading skills such as melee abilities or stamina is critical, especially if you’re keen on exploring the array of melee options on display.
Lending a Hand to the Locals
As you wander through bustling settings, keep your ears open for NPCs chatting about noteworthy sites or individuals they want to remember. Pay attention, snap those photos, and share them with locals who asked. Doing so racks up those all-important Adventure Points.
Never Without a Weapon
Indy is famously resourceful, meaning anything around can turn into a weapon—whether that’s a shovel, dustpan, or even a wooden spoon. However, sometimes you find yourself with empty hands. But fear not! Pressing X will see Indy use his revolver as a quick and quiet tool, swinging it to fend off adversaries. Just keep in mind, too much use will bend it out of shape, but repair kits are abundant to fix it back up.
Know When to Walk Away
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’s levels are treasure troves of secrets and mysteries. While it’s rewarding to uncover them all, sometimes you hit roadblocks—locked doors or befuddling mechanisms. If you’re stuck, proceed through the main narrative; new routes may open up. As you advance, donning disguises helps you blend in where Indy’s signature fedora sticks out, so let the flow guide you and don’t fret about missing out.
Choosing Brawn Over Brain
While Indy is sharper than most, sometimes sheer force triumphs. Encounter padlocked boxes? Forget the key; smash them open if the reticle turns red. Similarly, sledgehammers aren’t just handy for combat—they can batter fragile walls, revealing hidden paths.
We hope these pointers enhance your experience as you embark on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, available in early access now. Happy adventuring!
