Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: How To Solve the Fountain Puzzle

by

As a long-time fanatic of Indiana Jones, I must say that the Fountain Puzzle in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was a testament to my problem-solving skills and patience! This intricate challenge was reminiscent of the many real-life archaeological sites I’ve explored, where hidden treasures lie beneath layers of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Solving the Fountain Riddle within Indiana Jones: The Great Circle is undoubtedly one of the game’s toughest, yet incredibly gratifying hurdles to overcome.

As a gamer, I find myself standing before the enigmatic Fountain of Confession, where intricate puzzles await my wit and imagination. To unearth the hidden secrets beneath this fountain, here’s what I do:

How To Solve the Fountain Puzzle

To begin, you must manipulate two dragon statues on either side of the fountain.

Go to the statue of the dragon on the left side, you’ll see its missing claw there. Take a look around the nearby area to locate and retrieve it.

After affixing the claw onto the statue, adjust its direction so it points towards the fountain. Then, proceed to the right dragon statue and orient it such that it faces the other statue.

Activating this alignment will set the device into motion. Head towards the base of the fountain, then pull on the central lever using your whip.

Performing the action will unlock the water feature, unveiling the subsequent piece of the riddle. After you unlock the fountain, you’ll encounter the Baptism Puzzle.

You must organize statues and direct the water flow in this section.

Stepping into this freshly unveiled space, I came across an intriguing rotating stage adorned with two significant statues that caught my eye immediately. One depicted a man skillfully balancing a bucket on his head, while the other showed a charming child playfully holding a basin.

Begin pulling on the chain attached to a statue’s head using your whip, thereby filling its associated bucket with water due to the mechanism inside it.

As a gamer, I’d adjust the positions myself: Shift the kid’s statue towards the right side, and nudge the man’s statue towards the left. Once they’re set up just right, watch out – the man’s bucket might topple over!

As a fan, I can’t help but feel that the water will cascade upon the child’s head, much like a sacred baptism. Once the sequence concludes, the mechanism will activate, causing the fountain to whirl, revealing the final challenge.

The puzzle’s last part is about finding your way through the Ark of Bulrushes.

This section includes several overlapping rings blocking the path of a small boat.

You need to rotate the rings in the right order to get past these obstacles.

Initially, turn the outer ring twice in a clockwise direction, followed by a single rotation in a counterclockwise direction to bring the first section into alignment.

To change the central circle, move to the intermediate ring, give it a single clockwise rotation, followed by two more clockwise rotations.

With the path clear, give a tug on your whip to propel the boat forward along the chain. Eventually, it will arrive at its intended destination, and the process will come to an end.

When all the puzzle stages have been successfully completed, the angel statue at the fountain’s base will change position. This indicates that the puzzle is now resolved.

As I carefully explore this intriguing game world, my eyes widen at the sight of a concealed helix-shaped stairway! I nudge the nearby statue to make way and then descend the steps, unveiling a clandestine chamber hidden from sight.
