Battle on the Bridge is the twelfth level in the Nintendo DS version of LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures. It is the sixth and final level of The Temple of Doom.

Story

Indiana and the gang barely manage to avoid their watery fate, but end up on a sheer cliff, with Indiana separated from Willie and Short-Round. Indiana and his friends climb to the top of the cliff, where they reunite and run through the jungle to escape. Approaching a giant rope bridge, Indiana and the gang spot Mola and his thugs on the other side of the bridge. Mola uses Black Sleep of the Kali Ma to neutralize Willie, similar to how he used it to neutralize Indy in the Temple of Doom. Indiana and Short, in a bold and desperate move, seek out a sword and use it to cut the ropes holding the bridge in half, sending the Thuggees to their doom. Indiana, his friends and Mola hang on to one side of the bridge. Mola attempts to grab Indy's heart, but Indiana retaliates and Mola falls into a watery grave. Indiana, Willie and Short-Round return the stones and children to the village. Indiana and Willie kiss, but are interrupted by Short-Round and an elephant, who spray water.

Walkthrough

You start at a cliff face. Enter a hatch with Short-Round and press a button on the wall to drop a pile of pieces. Use them to build two platforms so the other character can reach the ledge above. Next, stand on a brown pad and use Indy's whip on it to knock down a crate, which you can then use as a platform to cross the spear-filled ledge to the right. Climb the rope near the chessboard pieces and defeat two Thuggees on the ledge above. Then, jump across the ledges on the left, where you'll see three Thuggees throwing rocks at you. Enter a hatch with Short-Round to reach a high ledge. Be careful of the falling rocks, which land in the dark patch near the hanging rope. Wait for a rock to fall, then quickly climb up the rope and move to the right to avoid the next rocks. Turn a crank to lower another rope near the hatch. Return to the ledges on the left and climb up the rope you lowered. Again, stay out of the dark patch while you build a small platform. Use the platform you built to reach the ledge above and defeat the three Thuggees that were throwing rocks at you. Next, destroy four golden rocks to build four golden buttons and quickly step on them to reveal a hatch. Enter it with Short-Round and destroy a rock to build a rope for the other character. Next, stand on a brown pad and use Indy's whip to cross a gap. Use the whip on another brown pad to knock down a tall column and form a bridge. Push a yellow box with handles across the bridge to the end of the checkerboard floor. This will reveal another hatch that you can enter with Short-Round. As you enter that hatch, turn a crank to raise a bridge that connects this ledge to the one with four buttons. This will allow the other character to cross the gap. Have both characters step on a big yellow button to open the doors. Four Thuggees will emerge from those doors. Defeat them and go through the doors to reach the next area.

In the next area, go to the right and build a platform so you can climb up to the hanging rope. Build another rope on the ledge above and continue climbing. Then build an elevator and more pieces will fall up. Use them to build a yellow box with handles and push it towards the elevator you built. This will lower the elevator and raise another one at the same time on the right. Two Thuggees will come to attack you. Defeat them and go right. Build a yellow pad, stand on it and blow into the microphone to inflate a raft. Get on it, paddle to the right bank and jump. Another pair of Thuggees will attack you. Defeat them and go to the tunnel on the right to reach the final area.

In the final area, go right and cross a bridge to encounter Mola Ram, whom you will face in a boss fight. He will use Black Sleep of the Kali Ma to neutralize Willie and send four Thuggees to attack you. You'll see a cutscene that will draw your attention to a sword on a high ledge and show you two piles of LEGO pieces falling from above. If you try to approach Mola Ram, his magic will repel you. So instead, go back to the left. Defeat the four Thuggees at the end of the bridge and use the pieces near the right-hand wall to build a small platform so Short-Round can reach a hatch. Don't enter the hatch just yet, though. Instead, go to the far left, build another small platform, and defeat another Thuggee that comes to attack you. Jump on the platforms, defeat another Thuggee, and use Indy's whip on a brown pad to cross over the spears to the ledge with the first button. Step on it and since you can't reach the second button from here, jump down and go to the right side of the wall. Get on the small platform with Short-Round, enter the hatch, jump to the left ledge and build a rope for Indy to climb up. Then use Indy's whip on another brown pad to reach the ledge with the second button. Step on it and, having both buttons stepped, the blocks will descend so you can grab the sword. Grab it, head back to the center of the wooden bridge, and use it to hit the dark red sections where the two halves of the bridge meet and finish the level.

Collectables

S means that the collectible can be obtained both in Story and in Free Play. F means the collectible can only be obtained in Free Play.

• Artifact Treasures
  1. (S) At the start of the level, go left, build a dark blue pad and use a character with umbrella on it to slide down to the ledge below. Then, defeat two Thuggees and build a bridge for the other character to cross. Continue to the left and build a grey plug to cover a water leak. Then destroy a grey rock and build another grey plug to cover another water leak. To cover the third water leak, you will need to place three blue bricks on a blue pad. The first blue brick is where the first water leak was. Grab it and place it on the blue pad. The second blue brick is inside a yellow rock on the right. Destroy the yellow rock to reveal the brick, grab it and place it on the blue pad. The third blue brick is inside another yellow rock, this time further to the right. Destroy the yellow rock, grab the brick as well and place it on the blue pad. By placing the three blue bricks on the blue pad, you will build a third grey plug to cover the third water leak, allowing you to grab this artifact.
  2. (F) On the ledge where you fight the first two mandatory Thuggees in the first area, you'll find a glowing patch. Use a digger character on it to dig up some pieces and use them to build this artifact and obtain it.
  3. (F) Find three maps throughout the level to get this artifact:
     1. On the ledge where you fight the first two mandatory Thuggees in the first area, jump to the small ledge on the left and destroy a green bush to reveal this map.
     2. On the right bank of the high ledge of the second area, climb up to the ledge above and destroy a brown bush to reveal this map.
     3. After crossing the third water leak in the special area with the Red Power Brick, destroy a green bush to reveal this map.
  4. (F) On the lower ground of the second area, you'll find another glowing patch. Use a digger character on it to dig up some pieces and use them to build this artifact and obtain it.
  5. (S) After building the left elevator in the second area, use it to reach the ledge with this artifact. Caution! Don't build the yellow box with handles or push it, as it will cause the elevator to go down and you won't be able to reach this artifact.
  6. (S) On the high ledge in the second area, hop on the raft you inflate and sail towards this artifact in the background to obtain it.
  7. (S) On the right bank of the high ledge of the second area, go down the ledges in the foreground to the lower level. Then, go left, defeat two Thuggees and grab this artifact behind the waterfall.
  8. (F) From the ledge with the Red Power Brick, jump to the next ledge on the right to reach this artifact.
  9. (F) At the far right of the special area with the Red Power Brick, build a wooden raft and climb aboard to sail to the foreground. Then, jump to the small island in the foreground to reach this artifact.
  10. (F) On the right side of the final area, before the wooden bridge, you'll find a glowing patch. Use a digger character on it to dig up some pieces and build a dark blue pad. Stand on it and use a character with umbrella to slide to the distant ledge. There, build a mine cart, which will then enter a tunnel and emerge with this artifact. To get off the ledge you are on, build a series of platforms to get back to the ledge with the bridge.

• Regenerate Hearts Red Power Brick
  • (F) On the right bank of the high ledge of the second area, climb up the ledges in the background and use a BOTCS character on a BOTCS access panel to extend a rope. Then, climb the rope to reach the ledge above and use a character with whip on a brown pad to pull a box into the water, partially blocking the waterfall and revealing a set of stones in the river below. One of them has another brown pad. Jump down to the right and jump over the rocks until you reach the brown pad you just made. Use the whip on it to pull a distant lever and lift another set of stones into the river above the falls. Climb back up the ledges near the BOTCS access panel, jump across the rocks to the left side of the river, and use the whip on another brown pad to pull down another box. This will also partially block the flow of the river, revealing a cave and more rocks. Go down and enter the cave to reach a special area. In that special area, go right while building grey plugs to cover three water leaks (there will be two Thuggees that will die from the water leaks). When you reach the far right, use a digger character to dig up some red pieces and build a red pad. Stand on it with a character with monkey and press the A button to transform into a monkey. Then, climb up some green vines and jump to the right ledge with this Red Power Brick.

Unlockables

The artifact model in this level is a Crocodile. After completing the level, you unlock British Officer and British Soldier. In Barnett College you can buy Mola Ram. After collecting the Red Power Brick, you can purchase Regenerate Hearts.
