This level features a large Olmec Valley. Several regions of the valley are connected with three
bridges. To activate the bridges you must position the corresponding Olmec Stone Heads onto the
proper pressure platforms. The goal of this level is to reach the pyramid at the end of the valley.
You will meet a giant Snake Quetzalcoatl inside there. After you defeat it you will get the third
Infernal Machine's part – Azerim's part, which allows you to levitate above the ground when
interacting with blue crystal of a strange nature.
Get down to the valley using the passage in the right wall. Cut through some green vines, kill the
snake and shoot a couple of times to scary off the leopard. You will meet more leopards later on.
They often attack from behind, you can't kill them. Run along the stream till you see a lake.
Notice the three massive pressure plates on your way. While you stand on any of them a
corresponding bridge above is activated. However, you can't stand on the plate forever – you'll
need to find some replacement. Dive into the lake and pick up some treasure in the underwater
cave. Get back to the first pressure plate and cut through the vines into the cave in the wall.
Avoid the leopard and look for a crack in the left wall. Use your Urgon's part to smash it and
claim an idol. Move up the stairs (note that from this location you can also reach the first bridge)
and use your whip to jump across the room. Push a block and Indy will fall into a dark tunnel.
Trigger the first Olmec Stone Head by stepping on the pressure plate in the floor and run to the
nearest alcove down below. The Stone Head will roll down the tunnel and land near the first
bridge's pressure plate. Pick up a treasure above the tunnel and get down to the valley to push the
Stone Head onto the pressure plate and activate the bridge. Make your way back to the cave and
get across the bridge.
The second bridge is close to you, behind the vines across the ledge but it's not activated. Get
down and pick up some treasure in the dark room at the far wall. Go outside through the doorway
and enter another one below. Kill some snakes and press a button inside the pool – it will open the
door to the next area. Kill more snakes and find a block behind the pillar. Push it inside the wall 3
times. You will see another tunnel with the second Olmec Head above. Trigger the Head and run
outside the tunnel or you'll be trapped (Hop down immediately when Indy automatically grabs the
ledge). Now push the second Olmec Stone Head towards the opening in the wall and it will fall
down to the valley near the second bridge's pressure platform. Get down there and position the
Stone Head to activate the second bridge. Russians will rush into the valley.
Make all your way back to the activated second bridge and kill some russians on your way. I
know what you're already thinking of: "When the third bridge is activated I will probably have to
make ALL THIS WAY AGAIN another time! Gush, it's so annoying!". Relax – you won't have to
return to the valley again. The third Olmec Head lands into position more accurately and activates
corresponding bridge by itself.
Cross the second bridge and use your whip to get across the chasm. When you land russians will
start shooting from your back – run for your life. In the next area you'll have to shimmy over a
wall and jump across the chasm to the other side, but before that get down to the floor, kill a snake
and collect some treasures: in the dark cave behind you, and on your way, behind the fallen pillar.
You will see a room with a waterfall. Inside the pool there lies the third Olmec Stone Head. Your
goal is to make the stream push it outside to the valley. Dive into the pool and climb atop the
waterfall using the passage and ledges behind it. Push the button on top of the waterfall – it will
drain the area. Get down and push the Olmec Stone Head towards the opening in the wall, until it
stucks there. Now push another block near the waterfall. You'll notice a climbable wall. Get on
top of the waterfall and push the button again – the water will push the Olmec Stone Head out to
the valley and trigger the third bridge. Continue to the next room, climb up the ladder and cross
the bridge.
On your way kill some snakes and collect money lying down below to the left of the pillar. In the
next area you'll have to use your whip to get across, but before that pick up a health leaf below on
your left.
You will soon get inside the cave with an Eagle-Headed Stone. Your goal is to get to the top of
the pillar-bridge outside. From there you can push its top edge and it will fall, turning into a
bridge across the chasm for you. Note the door above the ledges to the left, behind the Snake
statue. There's a button which opens this door for a short time – you will have to climb there fast.
Behind the door you will find the pillar edge you need to get to. Kill all the snakes below and
claim some money in the small room with a fire. Now press the button on the building's wall and
leave the cave. Press another button outside and rush to the door I already mentioned. Behind the
door look for some treasure and push the pillar's edge. Get back to the cave, Cross the pillar-
bridge and run into the next area.
Follow the passage to an area with some pillars. Drop down, use your whip to cross the gap and
crawl under the low pillar. You will find a treasure in the alcove above the first pillar. Climb to
the high girder in the room. Drop down and get some coins. Make your way back to the stone
stairs at the top. Kill some snakes and climb the stairs to see the stunning pyramid in the next area.
Another leopard guards it. You will find a health leaf near the basement of the pyramid's stairs.
Climb up and pick an idol.
You will find yourself inside the Snake cave. Remember your current position. Behind the large
doors in front of you there's a Snake Lair along with the Azerim's part. Behind the other doors on
your back there's a small room with a pressure plate in the floor.
[Kill The Snake:]To kill the Giant Snake you will
have to use four spikes in the room's floor. Each of them is triggered when Indy steps onto
corresponding pressure platform in the corners of the second floor's catwalk. To get to the catwalk
you'll have to use Azerim's part and levitate upwards (Position yourself under any blue crystal and
activate Azerim's part, then use cursor keys to go up/down and Alt key to leave the power
current). All four times you should step on different platforms and activate different spikes –
otherwise you won't hit the Snake. Start from the spike which is located behind you to the left,
then the one, which is in front of you and to the right, after it – behind you to the right, and,
finally, - the one, in front of you and to the left. Giant Snake can't damage you when you're
levitating or on the catwalk, but it can throw small snakes up there – you'll have to kill them.
When you're on the room's floor run quickly and avoid any snakes – don't have time to deal with
them. Just try to get back to the catwalk as soon as possible.
Hang from the platform and drop to the floor. Open the gate behind you and step on the pressure
plate inside (To open the gates you'll have to light the torches with your lighter on the both sides).
Run to the opposite door and release the Snake. You'll have to sneak past the Snake and get the
Azerim's part first. Then try to kill it.
When the Snake is dead a passage reveals on top of the room, above the first gate you opened.
Levitate up there using the Azerim's part under a crystal in the ceiling and finish the level.
Volodnikov somehow manages to entrap Indy and grab all his possessions.
