The Opening of the Ark is the sixth level in the Nintendo DS version of LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures. It is the sixth and final level of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Story

Indy disguises himself as one of the submarine's crew members and eliminates a guard who distracts Marion at the submarine's secret base, allowing her to escape. Later, Indiana and Marion are captured by Belloq and others, despite their attempts to remain unnoticed. Indiana and Marion attempt to defeat Belloq before he can open the Ark, but are discovered by Colonel Dietrich and Major Toht, and are tied up. However, when the Ark is opened, ghosts fly out of it and bombard Belloq and company until they finally break apart, having broken God's laws by looking at the Ark's contents. Indiana and Marion look away during the ceremony, so they are free to take the Ark home, where government agents take it to an abandoned warehouse, while Indiana takes Marion to dinner.

Walkthrough

You start at the submarine dock. Go right, down two steps and you will be attacked by a couple of Enemy Soldiers. Defeat them and pull a lever to extend a bridge. Cross it to reach the submarine and head to the right of it. Build another lever and pull it to extend another bridge. Cross it to reach the ledge on the other side, where you will be attacked by another pair of Enemy Soldiers. Defeat them and build a yellow pad on the right. Then, stand on it and blow into the microphone to inflate a raft. Jump onto the raft, move to the right and jump onto a green box to reach the right ledge. There, you can pull a lever to make three boxes fall and you can return to the left ledge, although this is optional. Use Indy's whip on a brown pad to climb up to the ledge above and push a green box to the left so it drops down the first floor so Marion can climb up. Parked trucks prevent you from reaching the other side of this ledge. To cross them, go down a ramp and push a green box from the ledge into the water. Jump on the floating boxes to get to the other side of the trucks. When you reach the other side, go up the ramp and you will be attacked by a group of three enemies. Defeat them and have both characters pull two levers to open the door that will take you to the next area.

In the next area, pull a lever on the right to extend a bridge. Cross it to reach the next ledge, where two enemies will attack you. Defeat them and use Indy's whip on a brown pad on the right to reach the ledge above. There, defeat an Enemy Officer and pull a lever on the left to extend a rope so Marion can climb up. Then, pull another lever on the right to extend a bridge. Cross it to reach the top of a submarine. Jump to the right side of the submarine and pull a lever to extend another bridge. Cross it to reach the other side of the ledge. There, use Indy's whip on a brown pad on the right to lower a bridge. Use the bridge you lowered to cross the water and use the whip on another brown pad to reach the ledge above. Get off the large green boxes and push a small green box to the left so that it comes off the ledge and Marion can climb up. Go to the right and you will be attacked by another group of three enemies. Defeat them and have both characters pull two more levers to open the door that will take you to the next area.

In the next area, go right and push a box of dynamite forward and then left along the squares on the chessboard. When the crate reaches the end of the squares, move away from it as it explodes, destroying the torpedo stack and knocking down the metal tower to form a ramp you can use to reach the ledge above. Upon reaching the ledge above, you will see Belloq and an Enemy Radio Operator notice you and then escape from you with the Ark. Chase them to the next area.

In the next area, you'll face Belloq in a boss fight. He will shoot you from the ledge ahead. He will also send two Enemy Soldiers to attack you. Stay behind a rock to avoid Belloq's shots, defeat the two Enemy Soldiers and build two electric generators. By building the two electric generators, you will activate a button on the high ledge on the left. Go left, stand on a red pad with Marion and press the A button to transform her into a monkey. Climb up a net to reach the ledge and step on the button you activated to electrocute Belloq. After this, the discharge will remove a heart from Belloq and the generators will be destroyed. Belloq will send two more Enemy Soldiers to you. Defeat them and he will send another pair of Enemy Soldiers towards you. Stay behind the rock to avoid the shots, defeat the pair of Enemy Soldiers and rebuild the two generators quickly to reactivate the button. Climb back onto the net with the monkey and press the button to electrocute Belloq again and take another heart. After this, Belloq will flee into the passage on the right, while fallen rocks will clear the way to the right. Use the red pad again to turn Marion back into herself and head to the clear path to reach the other side. On the other side, you'll need to push two boxes of dynamite towards Belloq, but since he keeps shooting at you, this may prove difficult. If Belloq's shots hit the dynamites, they will explode before they get close enough to damage him and you will have to start over. Push the dynamites forward. For now, the stone pillar protects it from Belloq's shots. Move to the right side of the dynamite boxes and wait for Belloq to stop firing for a moment while he reloads. Then, push the boxes a little to the left so that the next stone pillar protects them. Wait for the next pause and push the boxes as far to the left as you can. Go around behind them again and push them forward as far as you can. Once again, a stone pillar will protect them from Belloq's bullets. Go to the left side of the boxes, wait for a break in the shooting and push the boxes to the right as far as you can. Finally, push them towards Belloq and step back. After pushing them, they will explode and take another heart from Belloq, causing him to flee into the passage on the right. Climb up the ledges and through the passage Belloq fled through to reach the final area.

In the final area, Belloq will be in front of the Ark of the Covenant. Approach him and hit him to take his last heart and finish the level.

Collectables

• Artifact Treasures
  1. (S) On the right side of the left ledge, build a fan in the upper left corner and stand on it. Then, blow into the microphone to raise your character to a platform with this artifact.
  2. (F) On the platform with the previous artifact, use a small character to enter a hatch and reach the high central ledge. There, pull a lever to extend a bridge. Cross it to reach the top of the submarine and go through the hole to enter a special area. In this special area, build a lever and pull it to lower a periscope. Look through the viewfinder to see an artifact outside. Go through the round trapdoor on the back wall to exit the submarine. Then, play the level as you normally would until you get to the part with the boxes floating in the water. At that part, instead of jumping to the ledge, jump on three white boxes to reach this artifact.
  3. (F) On the high center ledge where you find a lever for the previous artifact, use a character with whip on a brown pad to the left to reach a distant platform. On that platform, build a BOTCS access panel to the left and use it with a BOTCS character to open the door to a special area. In that special area, defeat an Enemy Officer and destroy a brown box to build a hatch. Enter it with a small character to reach the scaffolding above and enter another hatch on the right to reach the left scaffolding. There, jump onto the central shelf to reach this artifact.
  4. (F) After climbing the first ledge on the right side of the first area, climb up the boxes and use an character with umbrella on a dark blue pad to reach this artifact on the roof of a truck.
  5. (S) Find three maps throughout the level to get this artifact:
     1. At the far right of the first area, destroy a white box to reveal this map.
     2. On the ledge before the submarine in the second area, destroy a white box to reveal this map.
     3. At the end of the second area, destroy a green box to the left of the left lever to reveal this map.
  6. (F) After crossing the water for the first time in the second area, use a digger character to dig up a brown pad. Use a character with whip on it to reach the platform above and enter a special area. There, go right and use two moving platforms to reach the upper ledge. Defeat two Enemy Soldiers on that ledge and grab this artifact.
  7. (S) When you reach the top of the submarine in the second area, go through the hole to enter a special area. There, destroy a control panel in the upper right corner to reveal this artifact.
  8. (S) In the submarine in the second area, go to the far left and destroy a machine gun to reveal this artifact.
  9. (F) On the high ledge in the third area, push a box of dynamite to the left and walk away from it. The dynamite will explode and destroy the torpedoes, causing another metal tower to fall. Use it as a ramp to reach the higher ledge and use a character with book on a school access panel to open the door to a special area. In that special area, destroy a box on the left to lower a rock so you can reach the ledge with a blue pad. Next, you will need to place three blue bricks on the blue pad. To find the first one, build a target in the top right corner and use a character with a gun to turn it green. This will cause a ceiling panel to fall and destroy, revealing this blue brick. Grab it, climb up to the ledge and place it on the blue pad. Destroy a control panel on the right to reveal the second blue brick. Then grab it and place it on the blue pad. The third blue brick will be found buried on the left. Use a digger character to dig it up, grab it, and place it on the blue pad. When you place the three blue bricks on the blue pad, a box will appear near you. Use it to reach the ledge with this artifact.
  10. (S) At the far right of the third area, destroy a green box to reveal this artifact.

• Fast Build Red Power Brick
  • (S) After making Belloq flee for the second time in the fourth area, go to the far right corner of this area, on the lower level, not on the ledge. There, destroy a small box to reveal a wooden torch. Grab it and carry it to a burning barrel in the center to light it up. Then, climb up the ledges, but instead of chasing Belloq through the passage on the right, go into the passage on the left. Going through the passage on the left, you will reach the ledge where Belloq was during the first phase of his boss fight. Use the wooden torch to light a barrel and then use a character with bottles to throw a bottle into the barrel. This will destroy the grey rocks next to the barrel, revealing this Red Power Brick.
