Rescue the Ark is the fifth level in the Nintendo DS version of LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures. It is the fifth level of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Story

Indy and Marion comically dispatch soldiers who attempt to stop them and then fight their way through the German camps to retrieve the Ark. They find the Ark aboard a transport plane, but have to fight off a tough Enemy Boxer who blocks their path. The boxer is decapitated by one of the plane's propellers, and Indiana and Marion discover that Belloq, Major Toht, and the German military strategist Colonel Dietrich have loaded the Ark onto a truck and left. Sallah appears in time with his own jeep to help Indiana reach the German truck, board it, finally recover the ark, and stop Belloq, Major Toht, and Colonel Dietrich's car in the desert. Indiana and Marion bid farewell to Sallah as they board a cargo ship captained by Captain Katanga, who has agreed to transport the Ark. The ship is stopped by a German submarine. Enemy Soldiers board the ship and take the Ark and Marion, while Indiana hides in an air vent and then swims aboard the submarine, while being cheered on by Katanga, who salutes the archaeologists' efforts.

Walkthrough

You start at the exit of The Well of Souls. Go down the southern slope and go right to begin a battle against the Enemy Boxer. You will see three blue bricks on top of each of the three watchtowers. Those three blue bricks will have to be placed on a blue pad near the Flying Wing. Take three hearts from the Enemy Boxer and he will flee to the west tower. Enemy Pilots will spawn in the huts near the towers. Fight them off while you do the rest of the work here. First, move to the base of the west tower, build a TNT detonator and press it to blow up the tower. When the Enemy Boxer lands next to you, remove three hearts from him and he will flee to the center tower. The first blue brick can be found on the left, which also fell when the tower exploded, but don't do anything with it yet. Go to the base of the central tower. Defeat the Enemy Pilots while you build another TNT detonator and press it to blow up the tower. Remove the last three hearts from the Enemy Boxer and he will flee to the east tower. Don't do anything with the second blue brick yet. Go to the base of the east tower. Build one more TNT detonator and press it to explode the tower and make the third blue brick fall to the ground. When the Enemy Boxer falls, he will be invulnerable to your attacks. To defeat him, grab each of the three blue bricks that were on the tops of the towers and place it on the blue pad. You'll need to move quickly, as the Enemy Boxer will continue to fight you. By placing the three blue bricks on the blue pad, you will build a propeller on the Flying Wing and move on to the next area.

In the next area, Sallah will replace Marion, while you will have to catch up with Belloq's car in a convoy of trucks. Jump from the first truck to the one next to it. Move to the front of the second truck and use Indy's whip to destroy a lever and open the back door of the third truck. Jump onto the third truck and enter to reach the next area.

In the next area, defeat three Enemy Soldiers and jump over a barrier of black blocks to the right. Next, defeat an Enemy Officer and climb a rope to reach the top of the third truck in the previous area.

On top of the third truck in the previous area, you will see two motorcycles positioned ahead. Use Indy's whip to smash them and wait for the truck in front to get close and then jump on it. Defeat two more Enemy Soldiers and then jump onto the truck in the foreground. As the truck you jumped onto approaches the next two, you'll see two enemies, including one with a machine gun. Jump into the truck with the two enemies and defeat them. Then jump onto the next truck, move forward and jump onto the next truck in front of you. More enemies will start shooting at you from the adjacent truck. Quickly destroy the boxes and build a machine gun and a lever to operate it. After building them, pull the lever to fire the machine gun and destroy much of the truck. Jump towards it and finish off the enemies. Then wait for the truck to approach the next truck in the foreground and jump towards it. Use Indy's whip to destroy a lever and open the back door of the next truck. Jump onto the next truck and enter to reach the next area.

In the next area, climb the rope to the roof of the eleventh truck from the previous area.

On the roof of the eleventh truck in the previous area, jump diagonally to the next truck in line. Then, climb up to the front and jump onto the next truck in the foreground. There, defeat two Enemy Soldiers and destroy three boxes to build a brown pad. Use Indy's whip on it to pull a lever on the adjacent truck, causing the rear of the truck to tilt. Then jump onto the previous truck, wait for it to get close to the adjacent one, and then jump onto it. Get in front of the truck, wait for it to go ahead and jump to the next one. Then, wait for the truck you are on to approach the next one in the foreground and jump towards it. Finally, go to the front of the truck to finish the level.

  6. (S) After destroying the central tower, use its pieces to build a box. Jump on the box to reach the ledge above and build a brown pad to the left. Use a character with whip to reach the ledge above and use the whip again on another brown pad to pull a box off the ledge on the right. Drop down from the ledge and use the pieces from the box you just knocked down to build a fan. Stand on the fan and blow into the microphone to raise your character to the right ledge. There, destroy a green box to build another fan. Stand on it and blow into the microphone to raise your character to the ledge with this artifact.
  7. (F) On the right side of the first area, build a red pad and use a character with monkey on it to transform into a monkey. Climb some yellow vines and step on a button to extend a rope. Then, drop down from the ledge and use the red pad again to transform back into a monkey. Climb the rope and destroy a green box to build a school access panel. Use a character with book on it to open a door to another special area. In that special area, go down the steps and jump to the right to find this artifact behind a cell. Press a square wall button to the left of the cell to open it and grab this artifact. To exit and return to the first area, build a brown pad and use a character with whip on it to reach the ledge above. Then, destroy a green box on the left to build another brown pad and use a character with whip again to reach the platform on the left. Use another brown pad to reach the platform on the right and use another one to reach the platform above. Destroy another green box to build another brown pad and use it again to knock down a green box on a high ledge. Use the pieces taken from the box to build a rope.
