Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has a ton of hidden temples and rooms with head-scratching puzzles around every corner, and perhaps the most difficult are those found in the Khmer Cogwheel Puzzles discovery mission.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: 9 Hardest Achievements and How To Get Them
The most difficult achievements you can snag in your adventure around the globe.
What makes these puzzles more difficult is the fact that you have tocollect the cogwheels from other locationson the map before completing each puzzle (of which there are six, and we have the solutions!).
Grab Extra Cogwheels
To start, you’ll need to grab some extra cogwheels to start out with. Go to the entrance to theHidden Pyramidand grab some cogwheels from the wall. You can’t take the large ones with you, but the small ones can be added to your inventory by pressing Y.
Find and Solve the Six Puzzles
The site of each puzzle will be marked by a thin totem (which can be photographed for a Journal note) and a medium-sized statue, as well as a hole in the ground in the center of a square of stone tiles. Jump into the hole to enter the puzzle room.
The goal of the puzzles is to connect enough cogwheels together in the correct layout for the two stone wheels on the board both to spin when the lever is pulled. If the lever doesn’t pull, you may be stuck on a broken cogwheel. Once completed, you need to put the cogwheelsback into your inventorybefore moving on to the next puzzle.
Waterfall Ruins
The first puzzle is near the Waterfall Ruins, and is the simplest of the puzzles. You only need four cogwheels for this one, and the solution is provided above. Remember to collect all of the small cogwheels before you leave, otherwise you’ll need to go back and get them.
Wat Mahathat
The next puzzle is a short walk from the West Wat Mathatat fast travel location (or a shorter boat ride from Wat Mahathat East). Go up onto the hill to find the totem, then jump into the puzzle room and solve using the solution in the second image above.
South of Village
Head to the location on the map above and look for the stone wall in the water (we recommend turning on assistive visuals to highlight interactive objects). Equip the underwater breathing device and move the large wooden plank blocking the gap in the wall, then continue through to the entrance.
The puzzle can be solved with five of the ten total cogwheels, so you’ll need to wait until you’ve collected enough from the other puzzles before attempting it. See second image above for the solution.
North of Village
Head to the location on the map above and look for the stone wall in the water. Equip the underwater breathing device and move the large wooden plank blocking the gap in the wall, then continue through to the entrance.
The puzzle can be solved with seven of the ten total cogwheels, so you’ll need to wait until you’ve collected enough from the other puzzles before attempting it. See second image above for solution.
Wat Si Siwai
The fifth puzzle is located near the Wat Si Siwai temple, and can be found by going around to the back of the temple using the path heading left from the entrance camp.
This puzzle requires eight cogwheels to complete, so do not attempt it until you have enough cogwheels to do so. See second image above for solution.
Voss' Camp
Take the boat up to the river to the left of Voss' Camp on the north end of the map (see map above for location). It will be on the opposite side of the island, so take the boat outside of the camp and around to near the Hidden Pyramid entrance area.
The final puzzle requires you to have all ten of the cogwheels in your possession, and the solution is in the second image located above.
Be sure to grab theAncient Relicthat unlocks after each puzzle is solved, as collecting all six is how the mission is marked as complete in your journal.
