Secret of the Queen Mother in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: how to start and complete

Secret of the Queen Mother is a side quest in the game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which becomes available when exploring the Giza region. In this quest, you will need to find an ancient artifact and deliver it to a scientist named Omar. However, the task is complicated by the presence of Nazis conducting excavations at the required location. In this guide, we will detail the quest walkthrough and discuss possible rewards.

You can start the quest by reaching the Nazi excavation site in the southwest of Giza. Here on the hill is a tent with a scientist named Omar. Talk to him to activate the quest.

Immediately after the dialogue, inspect the tent and pick up several documents, including the catacomb map.

In front of you is a large excavation site patrolled by military personnel. However, even if you are playing on the highest difficulty, they pose almost no threat, as you can deal with them either stealthily or in open confrontation. The only threat here is a dog, but it can also be temporarily disabled.

Descending into the quarry, in one of the tents you will find a medicine bottle and money. Next to the elevator, pick up two notes, burn the propaganda poster, and descend to the lower level.

To reach the tomb, you will need to activate the elevator, as falling into the shaft will lead to the protagonist's death. On the lower level, you will see two colored cables running to generators from the elevator lever. You can choose any sequence, but we will start with the red cable.

Reach the large hall, which is patrolled by about five Nazis. You can get rid of them or bypass them — it doesn't make much difference. You need to get to the far right corner of the room and find a staircase leading to the illuminated passage.

This will lead you to a room with a generator. Start the engine, take a photo of the fresco, and run back to the elevator.

Upon returning, you can inspect a small tent, take money, and a radiogram.

Follow the blue cable until you reach a locked gate. Turn around and run into the only open passage in this area. Get rid of two Nazis, then another one in the adjacent room.

Use the whip to swing to the opposite side of the hall, or jump into the water and swim to the adjacent room. This will lead you to another large hall with several Nazis. The generator is located on the scaffolding, on its right side. Once you activate it, the previously locked gate leading to the elevator will open, and several enemies will emerge from it.

Run back to the elevator and pull the lever. Down below, you will encounter another simple puzzle. Gather three tiles — fish, snake, and bird, then arrange them in the following order (from top to bottom):

Behind the hero, a wall in the corridor will crack, and it can be broken down using a sledgehammer, which is also nearby.

Take a photo of the tomb and pick up the Stela of Light, after which you need to return to the elevator and exit the excavation site. Return the stela to Omar. For completing the task, you will receive 375 adventure points.
