Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings - A Gamer's Walkthrough (Part 1)

Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings contains Fortune Artifacts and Glory Moves as you're playing the game. If you miss one of these items don't worry. After reaching a checkpoint, you can always redo that level later by selecting it in the "Journey Onward!" menu. The globe symbol allows you to scroll through completed levels and the footprint symbol to select specific checkpoints. The game executes an auto-save (shown as a flipping book with an exclamation mark on screen) immediately after you find an Artifact or achieve a Glory Move, so you can exit the game at any time without fear of losing your reward.

When the level begins, turn around and take the path along the rock wall. Climb up the ledges and you'll see your first artifact, the Nubian Bust. Use your whip to clear the vegetation blocking the path ahead of you and you'll find a cave. Pick up the handy torch on the ground and light it, but remember that every time you use your whip you'll have to pick it up again. Burn the cobwebs in front of you with the torch. On the second wall of webs just before you enter the bridge, you'll find the Limestone Tablet artifact.

On the bridge you'll be attacked by spiders, just light them on fire with the torch. The bridge will collapse at this point, so quickly grab the ledge with both hands. Light another torch you'll find lying on the ground. Light the two torch spots on either side of the ram symbol and the gate will open.

Push the ram statue and then hug the wall and shimmy across the gap in front of you. Swing across the next gap using your whip. Stand up on the block and use your whip to sling the idol into your hands. The room will begin to come down around you and you'll need to dodge the falling debris and statues. You'll have a brief encounter with Magnus at this point and then the game will take you into a fight tutorial. You'll also find the Gold Ram's Head artifact in a tent just around the truck after you defeat the second guy, during the tutorial.

The Brute in the last brawl is a tougher fighter than the other opponents you'll face. You'll need to use the counter attack tactic since you want to keep trading blows with this guy. The whip doesn't work very well against this fighter, but a weapon will be very effective against him. This is provided you can hang onto one long enough, since every time you're hit you'll drop the weapon. You can achieve the "Shelved" Glory Move during this phase if you manage to bring a shelf down onto three enemies at once.

The next part is an airplane mini-game, focus on controlling the planes movements. You don't need to shoot down all the enemy planes during this part, but if you manage to destroy four of them, you'll receive the "Hot Shot" Glory Move.

Indiana Jones heads to San Francisco. At the start of this level, turn around and climb the wood fence to find the Gold Bowl artifact. A fight will start in the alley as you chase Suzie's abductor. You'll be slightly outnumbered, but fortunately, there are a lot of objects lying around that you can use to your advantage. Use your whip to make the platform fall on the guy throwing bottles. A Brute will appear at the end of the street. Use the counter attack/dodge maneuver to fight him. Pull the crate back away from the window, and then attach your whip to the top ledge. Set your feet on the window and kick it in to enter the building.

 Instead of heading upstairs, go all the way to the back room to the counterfeit printing press and grab the Ceramic Figures artifact. Bust down the door on the second floor and a brawl will break out in the lounge. The aquarium tank can be broken by an object and doing so will allow you to complete the "Octopus Wrestler" Glory Move. This fight can be a little tough. Make sure you duck when a pool cue is thrown your way. Again, use the counterattack move and try to use objects as much as you can.

You'll get tossed into an alley where you'll confront a Brute. Bust through the gate, find the Bronze Flask artifact behind the pickup truck and then enter the fireworks factory. If you lure the enemies under the sprinkler pipes and jump up and swing-kick them, you'll be able to accomplish the "Rain On Me" Glory Move.

At this point in the Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings walkthrough listen to the instructions and learn how to shoot the revolver. You won't be able to shoot the guy on the rafters, no matter how hard you try. Instead, shoot all the dynamite boxes lying around to bring the structure down. Once you bust through the gate, climb up and go all the way to the right to find the Bronze Horses artifact. Head to the left, use your whip to cross the gap and bust through the window.

Out in the alley; grab the Gold Censer artifact you'll find inside the fence. Head down the alleyway and hop the small fence to find an area where you can climb. Swing to the other side and grab the Dog Statue artifact sitting on the billboard.

During the roof shootout, one pesky gunman will refuse to go down unless you use the environment to your advantage. Shoot the large hanging lantern over his head to take him out of cover. At his next spot, take out the panel on the water tower and then shoot down another large lantern. Destroy the second water tower and put him out of commission once and for all by shooting the crates. Finally, help Suzie get across.

After pushing the bookcase, it will slide back to its normal position when you head down the staircase. Go back and grab the hidden Ming Vase artifact that was hiding behind it. Once you enter the next area, move to the left and shimmy across to the next platform. Instead of pushing down the barrel, keep walking right and you'll see the whip symbol on the chandelier, which will let you achieve the 'Lights Out" Glory Move.

The next brawl is pretty tough, so grab as many weapons as you can and use the counter attacks on the final Brute. Find the elephant statue in the room, attach your whip to its nose and yank it to open the secret chair rail.

Use your whip and take down the two poles holding up the mermaid figurehead on the front of the boat. Climb up the large post on the right and use your whip to take down the figurehead. Before you go back down, hug the wall and shimmy across to grab the Earthenware Jar artifact. Roll the figurehead down to the ship's hull to proceed.

Once you come to the next shimmy spot, don't get off when you pass the gap. Instead, keep shimmying along until you reach the Ancient Bank Note artifact. You'll be ambushed on the deck of the boat. Once this is over a shoot out will start, take out the shooter on the right first. Shoot the ropes on the right to create a swing spot.

The cable car shoot out is relatively easy so long as you guard both sides of the cable car. Once an enemy car catches up to you, however, it's game over.
