Oh please, NO sucker-punches were used in this LP. Apart from Arnold there was one other kind-of-hard opponent, but generally they weren't that hard. My cunning strategy was to continuously deliver upper-cuts, no blocks or other faggotries. :smug:

Of course fighting is easy if you use the keyboard. If for some reason you try to fight with the mouse, you're dead meat.

Let's inform the port official that a famous archaeologist is on the island.

2nuluhi.png


n8011.png
You don't say. Make this quick, I'm a busy man.

30ww307.jpg
Are you in charge around here ?

n8011.png
Mmm.

30ww307.jpg
Do you know anything about Atlantis ?

n8011.png
You mean about Thera being a colony of the Lost City ? There's an archaeological expedition in the mountains... but other than that, sorry, can't help you.


On to the mountains we go.











Alternate History - WITS : Divine Retribution.










Let's walk to that cleft in the mountain.

ob08wl.png



We've arrived at the dig site, it seems.

rsvic3.png

2ivkuth.png



Let's head in.

2nu1sie.png

70c552.png



Is there a passage here ?

2uonb6q.png



Nope. But if we close the door, something interesting happens...

2zxuiwz.png



Some kind of panel opened... huh ?

:RUMBLE!!:

wbqasw.png

synt45.png



Great, just great.
Let's see what we can make of that panel. The susntone seems to fit perfectly in there...

2m2stwo.png

1qie6e.png

2i1grd3.png



Hmm ? Something clicked inside, let's check it out.

29vhx7n.png



We can't read the inscription, but apparently we can take the plate with us, so that's what we'll do.

e5k19h.png



Now, is there anything interesting in these boxes ?

6iwcw2.png



Fuck yeah ! Maybe we can use this to dig ourselves out !
The tool is folded, so we should open it first-

29vhqfn.png


30ww307.jpg
There's a NOTE wedged in here !


"Indy, I know you'll find this sooner or later. The Nazis have kidnapped me."

"They must have found something, because it looks like we're leaving soon."

"Hurry! I need your help!"



30ww307.jpg
It's signed, "Sophia."


NO ! The Nazis have Sophia !
We can't let the filthy Nazis get their hands on that sweet ...necklace of hers !


339qems.png






...MEANWHILE :




xe4i89.png


33bo7l3.jpg
Oh no you don't ! I've had enough !

2i0y0x.jpg
Please, Madame...

nywsia.png


2d9sl09.jpg
Kerner, don't shoot her ! We may need her in the Lost City.

2i0y0x.jpg
Don't tempt me, Fraulein. Now, move !

sg714h.png






DAUM ! We just missed them.

bhcb6g.png


iliuso.jpg
...and now he's got Sophia !


Indy is mad. But before we go after them, there's one crucial thing to do here. We close the lid of the box, to find...

2lnwnr.png



You can easily miss this invoice and as you can guess, we need it.
Time to head back down to the harbor.

2r23mf9.png


n8011.png
Not a one. Sorry.

4t96bc.jpg
Any sign of a German U-boat ?

n8011.png
In these waters ? Not in my lifetime !

Yeah, right.

30ww307.jpg
Can you book passage for me on the next boat ?

n8011.png
Bad news. No boats, no planes, until next week.

30ww307.jpg
Isn't there ANY way off this island ?

n8011.png
Unless you grow wings like Icarus, I'd say you're stuck.


Well, if we had a magnifying glass, some wax and a couple of wings maybe we could pull off that Icarus thing...

shadow260.jpg


But we can't unfortunately. :(


Hey, don't we have an invoice for a balloon bladder ? It must be somewhere around here !

1z4v9jb.png



Found it ! Let's pick it up.

n8011.png
Pardon me, I don't think that belongs to you.

30ww307.jpg
I'd like to claim my balloon.

n8011.png
You have the invoice, of course.

4t96bc.jpg
Of course
2mr9tg1.jpg


n8011.png
Hmm... everything seems in order. The balloon is YOURS.


Awesum ! But this is just a balloon bladder. We'll need more things to make a real balloon. What's that here ?

2me5vfr.png



Let's grab it, it could come in handy. And that basket here seems perfect for our purposes...

2ag6ety.png


n8011.png
It belongs to the store, and the store belongs to me.

30ww307.jpg
What do you want for the basket ?

n8011.png
Hmm... I'd be grateful for a little souvenir from the archaeological expedition. After all, I AM a scholar, and this IS my island.

good thing we "acquired" that plate.

30ww307.jpg
Would you accept this ancient sign for the basket ?

n8011.png
Well, let me see ! My, my ! This IS a find ! A perfectly preserved inscription in Minoan Hieroglyphics !

4t96bc.jpg
Never heard of them.

n8011.png
Lucky for you I'm completely fluent.

:roll: REALLY ? Lucky for us we've come across the only man who can read these hieroglyphics, since no one else --up to date-- has managed to decipher them.

n8011.png
Listen :

72gal5.png


30ww307.jpg
That's it ! The Greater Colony ! Kerner's on his way to CRETE !

CRETE ! This comes as a shock.

n8011.png
My friend, the basket is yours !


Good. So now we have a balloon bladder, a fishnet and basket. Let's put the fishnet around the bladder and harness the balloon with the fishnet.

i210df.png



MacGyver would be proud of us. But how on earth are we going to inflate it ? Hey, what about that natural gas fissure in the mountains ?

2iqipe8.png


Thank god we still have that hose from the Algerian Dig site...

2eantsn.png

2hs508i.png

344r2af.png



o10neu.jpg



Let's fly into the sunset !

33w2vjk.png



Well, we're airborne, but Crete is still far away. We can land on some of the small islands though...

25kmtfo.png

2lmb0p2.png



Damn, let's try going all the way south. We should reach Crete eventually...

colqg.png



Great. Updrafts won't let us proceed any more to the south... what now ? Well, if we search a bit around the area we'll eventually come upon something very interesting :

2rhsjsl.png



Yup, it's the submarine. You know what we'll do now, right ?


WE'LL FALL ON THEM LIKE FIRE FROM THE SKY !
...LIKE DIVINE RETRIBUTION !!
...LIKE ANGRY CUNTS ON WHINY DICKS !!!

Damn, these puzzles are a little bit EXTREME indeed.
Assembling a baloon from spare parts and intercepting a submarine using it = common sense 101. Well, in adventure games...

tl;dr

MOAR!

Yeah, but it's not totally inconsistent with the over the top situations of the movies, I remember that the last crusade, especially, had some crazy stuff. And of course it's more believable than indiana jones escaping a nuclear explosion by hiding in a fridge, but let's forget that bullshit.

Yep, in the last chapter Indy actually intercepted a Submarine with a hand-made balloon. The man does... what the man has to do. But he sure knows when he should be cautious :

25oxf80.png


I mean you have to be crazy to try and steer the submarine all by yourself... right ?










Alternate History - WITS : LIKE A HOMING TORPEDO.










Let's use our newly acquired stripes and question the crew. I'm sure no one will mind our thick American accent.

2rc22ra.png


2mxmw6t.png
Some idiot crossed up the wires on the aft torpedo controls. Better stay clear until I get them uncrossed. You could start a fire.

aowck8.png
Do you know where Ubermann's keeping his stone disk ?

2mxmw6t.png
Stone disk ? That's a new one on me.

aowck8.png
Why are there so many ARMY men on this NAVY sub ?

2mxmw6t.png
Orders from Berlin. The scuttlebutt is, Ubermann and his thugs have friends in high places.

aowck8.png
Carry on, sailor.

2mxmw6t.png
Aye, sir.


Maybe we should have a look at the aft torpedo room...

25iot9i.png



And what about the torpedo control panel ?

aowck8.png
It's too complicated to figure out.


Hmm, better check out the rest of the sub... Hey, the whole gang is here !

66j2ig.png



Let's eavesdrop.

24liw5v.png


2d9sl09.jpg
And soon we'll have it in our grasp !

2i0y0x.jpg
Now, Miss Hapgood, it's time to share your knowledge...

33bo7l3.jpg
Not on your life, jerk !

2i0y0x.jpg
It's YOUR life we're talking about, Fraulein. So...


Typical Kerner-Sophia dialogue. I wonder if we can talk to her through the wall...

207q4p3.png


2ufu936.jpg
...

aowck8.png
I guess she doesn't dare talk to me.


But at least now she knows that the valiant hero has come for the rescue. Furthermore to the right we find another torpedo room, but we're not welcome here.

2wq4vh5.png


34yxnic.jpg
I'm reprimanding these men.

aowck8.png
Aye-aye, Captain.


There's one more soldier for us to speak to.

mrgwj.png


5wkqwh.jpg
Can you believe it ? Kerner's got me guarding a rock. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, but I should have gone off-duty hours ago.

A-HA !

aowck8.png
I'm here to relieve you, soldier.

5wkqwh.jpg
I could use a lunch break... unfortunately, I can only be relieved by Kolonel Kerner himslef.


Lunch break huh ? Let's visit the kitchen and make a sandwich.

vrwwbc.png


aowck8.png
It's a sandwich worthy of Danwood Bumstead.
2mr9tg1.jpg



Now, we have two ways of approaching the sailor. We can either offer him the sandwich, which he'll decline, but he'll then go make one himself... or we can tease him by eating it in front of him :

1zq9dgy.png


5wkqwh.jpg
What are you doing ?

aowck8.png
Just... eating *gnaw* a sandwich, corporal.

5wkqwh.jpg
That's not very polite !

aowck8.png
*chomp* *gnaw* I know. Why don't *gulp* make one for yourself ?

5wkqwh.jpg
I really shouldn't leave my post...

aowck8.png
*chomp*smack*gulp*

4h9l3b.png


aowck8.png
I thought he'd never leave.


2mr9tg1.jpg
Let's grab the moonstone.

1taqmo.png



Great ! Hmm, there was something else underneath the moonstone...

fokwwn.png



We grab that too, of course.






WHEN SUDDENLY:






10wmxhg.png

jtbdsj.png

15x7jw2.png

30df5w2.png


2i0y0x.jpg
Relax, Herr Doktor. We'll find it. We can't allow petty theft among this scurvy crew to stall our expedition.

2d9sl09.jpg
And if Fraulein Hapgood fails to find an alternative ?

2i0y0x.jpg
I'm not worried. She'll come through.

33bo7l3.jpg
You should live so long !

2i0y0x.jpg
She can't help herself. She wants to find Atlantis as badly as we do.

33bo7l3.jpg
Hmph !


Uh-Oh.

2dv7sx2.png



Damn right. Let's get out of here...

28sye55.png


1zob1ix.jpg
Kerner's orders.

aowck8.png
Stand aside, soldier. I'm an officer.

1zob1ix.jpg
I have orders to shoot.

aowck8.png
Oh... my mistake.


DAMN ! we must find another way to leave the sub.

34ep5rd.png


2mxmw6t.png
Sir ?

aowck8.png
How's that wiring problem coming ?

2mxmw6t.png
Not so good, sir. We still can't risk using the aft torpedoes.


Is that so ? Maybe a little fire could distract them enough for Indy to make an escape... Let's use those torpedo instructions we have.

1pfr5h.png



And now let's push that level.

wjt6if.png


aowck8.png
Whoa, sparks !


Only sparks unfortunately... but sparks can make a fire
2mr9tg1.jpg
Let's search the sub for other useful things.

2crn5ux.png



We take it, naturally.

aowck8.png
I'll just dump these wet clothes on the floor.


Another subtle hit that we manged to make to Nazi morale. And what's that door here ?

att8w2.png



Ah, it's the loo. Let's continue onward to find an even more useful thing :

6fmjrp.png



An oily rag ! Extremely flammable, I may add. Time to set this joint on fire. We put the rag on the wires and...

4q3n7k.png

10crbzb.png

9gwtty.png

2dv3i1l.png



2mxmw6t.png
FIRE !!


243hu1d.png


aowck8.png
That oughta hold them for a while.


It worked like a charm. Unfortunately the guard on top of the sub is still in his post. We'll have to think of something else, but first let's slip into our real clothes...

mr4x2t.png



Aww, he's shy. We'll have to change in the wc.

24dr8lt.png



AHH, now we're talking. I feel that in these clothes Indy is ready for some XTREME actions.


===============================================================================

Actually, if we make an extremely foolish move, we could die:

6tn3h1.png

ev29so.png

mv27br.png

29nf7zm.png


===============================================================================


Hmm, we'll need to be XTREME in a more witty way. Why don't we meddle with the other torpedo controls ?

2nlfw3p.png


:PUSHES LEVER:

2wfl9uc.png


6p9cfr.jpg


:shock:

Thankfully, the tube was empty. :M
But this gives X-TREMELY witty Indy an idea ! Let's tie the rope on the lever...

1zgal3c.png



...enter the tube...

21kjb0x.png



...and pull the rope !

1mc6c.png

ju90s0.png

vwzli0.png




It's settled. Witty Indy is the definition of X-TREME.



28v9com.png
WOW ! This chapter is strong in the *POW* factor !



Damn right it is.

Well, that makes perfect sense, creating more logical puzzle was clearly impossible...

After torpedo-ing ourselves out of a submarine, we've finally reached the ruins of Knossos in Crete. But we're late. Someone has already uncovered the statues, and an empty hole in the ground tells us that they have already uncovered the other moonstone.

25psqab.png



That bastard, Kerner, still is one step ahead.










Alternate History - WITS : Hitchhiker's guide to Atlantis.










We shouldn't fret though, since we already have the two key-stones required for opening the way to the Greater Colony.

2nla1kz.png

2ez2ovl.png

35k6h5w.png




And we're inside the Labyrinth.

9tfrbq.png


30ww307.jpg
I'll bet the last stone disk, and Atlantis, are waiting for me beyond that door.


Well, I wont bet against that. Let's pick up the 3 statue heads and thus, seal the way we came in. Now there's no way to go back, we can only march forward.

2nktj81.png



We reach the room with the minotaur statue and use his head for ballast to activate the ancient elevator.

11sk1dz.png

npmgkn.png

2j0o3f6.png



Underneath we find our old pal, Sternhart.

2zgya6d.png


30ww307.jpg
Looks like he starved to death.


There's a note in his hand:


"I am convinced the Map Room is somewhere among the upper chambers."

"I believe that static electricity will respond to orichalcum..."

"...but since I'm trapped down here, I'm not sure I have all the pieces for a makeshift detector or not."


30ww307.jpg
Too bad for Sternhart. He came a long way.


A makeshift detector, eh ? Let's search the area, there's a staff here:

ehu9l.png



...a scarf...

29qnsyg.png


30ww307.jpg
Hey, there's a rubber comb in here !


And the last key-stone !

2cfpb4h.png



Too bad that sternahrt didn't examine the waterfall more closely, to see the chain behind it. A chain that leads to the upper chamber.

30l29sm.png

mlrxqv.png


30ww307.jpg
Brrr ! That water's cold.


After a bit of wandering we reach the central chamber. The pedestal here screams for heads to be placed on it.

biunpe.png

rcrqdv.png



This passage leads to another chamber. A gold box is shining on the other side, but we can't pass the shaft.

2hp4ow6.png



We'll have to release the block from the counterweight using our staff...

vnf6dk.png


30ww307.jpg
The counterweight is free !


And go to the chamber below to activate the lift via oral insertion.

mq52t.png

29lgwuo.png



Finally, we get our hands on the box.

2vukbwj.png


30ww307.jpg
There are two orichalcum beads underneath it ! I'll take them too.


Ok we have the box, but where should we go now ? Let's head to that room over here. In the the previous paths it was empty, but now...

16ivdjq.png



There's some kind of machine here !

6r2hpj.png



Let's examine the panel in the back.

30ww307.jpg
It looks like there's a part missing.


A part missing, eh ? Why don't we try to insert that statue we have, in there ?

2lm2rya.png



Great. Now we need to power it up. That's what orichalcum is for
2mr9tg1.jpg


126a1au.png



WHOA!


wujggi.png

33vdtfq.png

slr51x.png



The ancient drill did it's work. Now, we'll have to crawl into that hole...

311maz9.png



...through a passage that leads to the MAP ROOM !

2cx9bog.png


30ww307.jpg
Laid out just as Plato described it, in three concentric circles !


You know the drill people (pun intended). Let's use our three stones.

qnso4j.png

25sszfn.png



A-HA ! another door this time... There's a waterfall here :

2vvuob9.png



...And a dead end. What now ?

35kk0ee.png



Hmm, Sternhart spoke of a makeshift electrical detector, right ? Let's see if we can make one with the stuff we have in our inventory.

29mrh2f.png



Ok, now we have a comb tied to a string. How about creating some static electricity by rubbing it with the wool scarf ?

2zgg0lw.png


30ww307.jpg
The comb's charged with static electricity.


Great ! Now we should hide the orichalcum we already have inside the gold box, and use the detector.

2555ro7.png



Let's have a closer look.

30ww307.jpg
There are two orichalcum beads in these bones !


Two more beads... nice! We put them both inside the box and go to the previous room to use our detector again.

16blbop.png


30ww307.jpg
It seems to be crumbling a bit...


This is obviously a job for our sturdy ship-rib.

i6zi44.png

24ay7tw.png



A passage ! Let's see what awaits in the other side.... WHOA ! the Atlantean metro ?

5mmn1h.png


4t96bc.jpg
She's a beauty...
2mr9tg1.jpg



And there's something shiny on the floor, too.

hwloc6.png



Another bead for our collection. Now, how do we use this thing ? Well, since it has a mouth, I guess we should feed it. Atlantean machinery usually likes orichalcum beads...

optzfd.png

k46qki.png

4hz82a.png

r0ef48.png

qpml9w.png






No my friend, it's entirely possible. We've finally reached ATLANTIS !






10xelmu.jpg








And now we've seen all three paths. Yep, I actually went through all the three long, hard, unforgiving paths just for your enjoyment and amusement. I expect eternal gratitude, preferably of the monetary kind.




Next time we'll unlock the incredible secrets of Atlantis !

Prepare yourselves.

Since there are tiny variations for each of the 3 paths in atlantis as well, I suggest you go with the wits path through atlantis. I think there's 2 or 3 extra puzzles in there if you do.

I can't remember any difference in atlantis sections in the different paths.

I believe those differences may be related to the Items you collected through your chosen path, like how many orichalcum beads you have.

But the stone disks reminded me of the old copy protection system this game had on the floppy disk version.

Each page of the manual had a specific position on a stone disk, earth, moon or sun.

Old DRM...
