Escape the Mineshaft is the eleventh level in the Nintendo DS version of LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures. It is the fifth level of The Temple of Doom.

Story

Indiana and the gang escape into the mines behind the temple, where they find the village's missing children. The trio fight a Thuggee Slave Driver and crush him with a lifting crusher. The trio then free the children and escape in a mine cart. They embark on a hair-raising journey through the mines, pursued by a team of Thuggee, only to come to a stop at a dead end. Mola floods the mines with water in an attempt to flush Indiana out of the mines and into a river of crocodiles.

Walkthrough

You start in the Slave Cages. You will be fighting a Thuggee Slave Driver in a boss fight. Hit him several times until you remove his twelve hearts. After removing his twelve hearts, he will flee to the front door and a couple of Thuggees will come to attack you. Defeat them and destroy a barrel on the left to build a lever. Pull it to move a mine cart forward and drop a pile of pieces. Use the pieces to build a crank mechanism and turn the crank to make the mine cart turn. The mine cart will then roll to the right, but will stop at the edge of the lava pit. There's nothing else you can do here for now, so follow the Thuggee Slave Driver through the front door to reach the next area.

In the next area, the Thuggee Slave Driver will be waiting for you on the second conveyor belt. Jump onto the first conveyor belt and run to the right, carefully avoiding a rock crusher and giant scoop. Here it can be helpful to wait until the crusher goes down and then jump onto the conveyor belt next to it. Run in place to avoid falling. Then when the crusher rises, do a running jump to the right to get past it. Run forward a few steps at a time as the scoop descends. When it comes back up, run under it and jump to the stone ledge on the right. Repeat the same process to pass the crusher on the second conveyor belt. Keep moving to the right while hitting the Thuggee Slave Driver. After removing his six hearts, he will be knocked unconscious and crushed by the crusher, extending a stone ledge to the right. Cross the conveyor belt again and jump to the ledge on the right. On this ledge, build a dark blue pad and use Willie on it to slide down to the ledge below. Build a platform to return to the previous ledge and press a wall button to open the doors near the dark blue pad. Use the platform you built to return to the ledge and go through the doors you opened to reach the next area.

In the next area, two Thuggees will attack you. Defeat them and two more Thuggees will come. Defeat them as well, stand near the loose dynamite on the right and press the A button to place it on the nearby stone column. Then, hit a TNT detonator to blow up the column, forming a ledge that you can use to climb up to the higher ledge on the right. Jump on the ledges and go to the archway on the right to reach the other side of the first area.

In the next area, jump down from the ledge and when you approach the track on the left, two Thuggees will come through the archway where you came out. Defeat them and you will need to place three blue bricks on a blue pad on the right. To find the first blue brick, turn a crank in the upper left corner to lower the track and form a bridge over the pit. Then pull a lever to move the mine cart across the bridge. Said mine cart will stop on the far right and the first blue brick will fall from the ceiling. Note: If you do this before moving the mine cart on the left side of the area, then the cart will not move. Grab the brick and place it on the blue pad. The second blue brick is inside a pile of rocks in the lower left corner. Destroy the pile of rocks to reveal the brick, grab it and place it on the blue pad. The third blue brick is inside another pile of rocks in the lower right corner. Destroy the pile of rocks to reveal this brick, grab it and place it on the blue pad. By placing the three blue bricks on the blue pad, you will build a TNT detonator. Press it to blow up the rocks blocking the tunnel on the right and advance to the final area.

In the final area, you will be escaping in the mine cart. Use the D-pad to lean left and right to collect studs and avoid broken track sections (for example, if the right side of the track is broken, lean left to stay on the tracks). When you reach a wide gap in the tracks, simply release the controls and the mine cart will automatically jump out. After crossing a second wide gap, the level will end.

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. (F) Find three maps throughout the level to get this artifact:
     1. On the left side of the first area, use a digger character to dig up this map.
     2. From the second artifact location, go right and use a digger character to dig up this map.
     3. From the previous map location, use an character with umbrella on a dark blue pad to slide down to the ledge below. Then, use a character with bottles to throw a bottle into a burning brazier and destroy the grey bricks next to it to reveal this map.
  2. (F) On the left side of the third area, push a box to the right to reveal a glowing patch. Use a digger character on it to dig up some pieces and use them to build a hatch. Enter the hatch with a small character and use a character with whip on a brown pad to reach the ledge above. Stand on a fan and blow into the microphone to lift your character to the ledge above, where you'll find another brown pad. Use a character with whip on it again and use a character with Enemy Access on a military access panel to open the barred door to a special area. In that special area, use a character with whip once again to cross a gap and reach this artifact.
  3. (F) From the third map location, go left to reach the far south right side of the first area. There, stand on a fan on the left and blow into the microphone to rise towards this artifact. To get out of that place, build a bridge to cross the lava pit and reach the center on the right side. Note: Going to the center right side from the special area will cause two more Thuggges to come after you defeating the first two.
  4. (S) In the first and third area, there will be three Slave Childs locked in cells. Free them and then go to the left side of the first area, where a Slave Child will come out of the open doors and give you this artifact.
     1. The first two Slave Childs are locked on the left side of the first area. To free them, go to the right side and destroy a pile of rocks in the upper right corner to reveal a wooden torch. Next, go to the left side and approach a lit brazier in the upper left corner to light the wooden torch. With the wooden torch lit, approach the four torches to light them and free the two Slave Childs in this area.
     2. The third Slave Child is locked in the third area. To free him, go to the right side and push a box to the left to reveal a lever next to the cell. Pull it to open the cell and free this Slave Childs.
  5. (S) After freeing the right Slave Child in the first area, use a small character to enter a hatch and reach this artifact on the top bunk.
  6. (S) On the right side of the third area, destroy a basket on the right and place three blue bricks on a blue pad to obtain this artifact.
  7. (S) You can get this artifact after freeing the third Slave Child in the third area.
  8. (S) After crossing the first wide gap in the final area, keep leaning to the right to get this artifact, which will be just before the first broken right track.
  9. (S) In the final area, when you see a fork that always sends you left, keep leaning right to reach this artifact just before a broken right track.
  10. (S) Just before the end of the final area, lean to the right once more to obtain this artifact, which will be just after another broken right track.

• Beetle Platter Red Power Brick
  • (S) On the left edge of the lava pit in the first area, there is a small ledge with a pile of loose LEGO pieces on it. Use them to build a ladder that will take you to this Red Power Brick.
