I have decided not to allow websites other than Gamefaqs (www.gamefaqs.com),
IGN (faqs.ign.com) & Gamespot (www.gamespot.com) to host my FAQs from now on.
Please don't ask, because I will not grant permission. It's just that too many
sites don't keep their version of my FAQ up to date which makes for a lot of
hassle in my mailbox.
So if anyone sees this FAQ on any site other than those mentioned above, please
let me know and I will take care of the situation, thanks.
Just to make things crystal clear for some people, this FAQ is not to appear

Select - Begin a Wave, or hold and press dpad to change weapons.
###############################################################################
(D) ITEMS
###############################################################################
----
Whip
----
The whip is Indy's main weapon. You can use it to attack in 8 directions and
swing across gaps by whipping special swing targets.
-----
Sword
-----
The sword is a close range weapon, but it's better used to open up the spots
that hold bombs during your adventure.
---
Gun
---
Guns are very useful since they can kill your enemies at long range. They also
need to be used on small skulls to reveal swing targets.
----
Bomb
----
Bombs can kill multiple enemies with their blast, they can solidify lava pools
so that it's safe to walk, and they can reveal hidden doors.
---------
Map Piece
---------
There are 25 Map Pieces hidden in the first nine Waves of the game. You don't
need them to finish the game but it does make Wave 10 MUCH easier to finish if
you do.
---
Key
---
The first eight Waves of the game have two Keys hidden. The Key that you find
in the Cave section unlocks the exit door in the Cart section, and vice-versa.
Which means that you only need one Key to finish these Waves.
---
Gem
---
Each Gem that you find will add xx seconds back to the timer for the current
Wave.
----------
Extra Life
----------
These look like a hat and help you survive longer.
-----------
Special Key
-----------
The Special Key can be found in Wave 7 in a hidden door. Once you have it,
then you can unlock one door with the Special Key, without needing to use a
regular Key. I highly recommend saving the Special Key for Wave 9, because
it allows you to skip about half of the stage and save lots of your weapons in
the process.
----------
Magic Idol
----------
The Magic Idol can be found in Wave 8 in a hidden door. Once you have it, then
you will find Wave 10 much easier. The Magic Idol shows you the exact location
of the hidden exit in Wave 10, so that you know where to bomb.
--------------
Sankara Stones
--------------
The Sankara Stones are found at the end of Wave 9. As long as you have all 3
in your inventory, then you will find the exits to Wave 9, 10, 11 and 12. If
you lose a life on any of those Waves, then the Sankara Stones are placed on
top of three large skulls. You need to then collect the Sankara Stones again
before attempting to exit the Wave.
###############################################################################
(E) ENEMIES
###############################################################################
Always stay near the top edge of a ledge or conveyor if posible. This way if
an enemy stuns you, then you are less likely to fall off of the ledge and lose
a life.
------
Guards
------
Guards jump down from ledges above and approach you before attacking. If they
punch you, then you just get stunned for a moment and spin around. This can be
deadly if you get stunned on a conveyor belt and get dropped to your death on
some lava.
If the Guard uses a sword, then you need to strike first or run like hell
because the sword kills you.
You can't jump into a cart if there is a Guard inside it already. Also these
Guards like to throw bombs to stun you from their cart.
----
Bats
----
Bats emerge from black holes with two blinking eyes. They move fast and try to
stun you by flying into you. If you can find a green bat pot and whip it, then
the bats will be stunned. Be careful with your bombs, because they can remove
a bat pot and get the bats moving again.
-----------
Snakes/Bugs
-----------
Snakes and bugs fall from above and move towards you to stun you. Attack them
quickly to get them out of your way.
-----
Rocks
-----
Rocks get pushed down on you from above so watch for some hands in the walls
before the rock gets pushed. They also stop conveyors for a few moments if
they land on one.
------
Spikes
------
Spikes move up and down on the spot. You want to run across when they're down
or use a bomb to get rid of them.
----------
Lava Pools
----------
These squares of lava on the ground will kill you if you step on them. Either
avoid them or use a bomb to get rid of them.
-------------
Lava Monsters
-------------
These enemies show up in the lava in later Waves of the game. They are immune
to your Whip, but if you use the Gun, Sword or Bomb, then you can turn them
into platforms in order to cross the lava.

The door where you begin the game is also one of two Exit Doors for this Wave.
Once you have the Key from the Cart section, you can use this door. Walk left
to rescue your first Child and get two Swords for your trouble. The Children
are optional in the game, but they give you a better score (including 10,000
points if you rescue all Children on a Wave) and a lot more items and weapons
if you find them.
Hold Select and press Right on the Dpad to select your Sword, then attack the
boarded up section beside the Child to get a bomb. You will always find bombs
in these types of spots and they can only be revealed with swords.
Try pausing the game to see how may of each weapon you have, your current Wave,
time limit, lives, score, how many Children are left to find in the Wave and
how many Map Pieces are left in the game.
Take the gun on your left and climb the ladder for more Swords, a bomb and the
Red Key. This key unlocks the Exit Door in the Cart section. Use the swing
target with your whip to swing across the gap, then rescue the last Child in
this section to see an Arrow pointing up. These arrows are clues to where you
can find hidden doors.
In this case you can find a hidden door by throwing a bomb straight up from
this spot. The door leads to Wave S2, which is a more challenging special Wave
that allows you to warp to other Waves in the game. The hidden doors in any
Wave that leads to a special Wave will always be found in the same locations.
If you take the other door on your left instead, then you will reach the Cart
section for this Wave.

Try leaning up and down in the cart as this will be useful as the game goes on,
then jump up from the cart to a conveyor. Head right for an Arrow, Bomb, Key,
Sword and the other Exit Door in that order. Jump down if you want a Gun, Bomb
and Sword. Return to the Arrow on the top conveyor and bomb left if you want
to reveal the other Hidden Door. This door also leads to Wave S2.
It's up to you if you want to go to Wave S2 to skip some Waves, or continue on
normally to Wave 2. I recommend going through all Waves normally as you get
more weapons that way and the Magic Idol and Special Key, which makes the last
Waves of the game much easier.

Start by taking the Sword, Gun, Bomb, and two Map Pieces up here. If you take
the door, then you will warp to Wave 3.
If you drop down instead and use the swing target then you can collect the Gun,
Sword, Extra Life, Bomb and six more Map Pieces. The door leads to Wave 5 if
you decide to take it.
Just right off the swing target you can jump down to the third ledge in between
the lava. Take the Sword and Gun before collecting eight Map Pieces on the
right. Bomb the lava pools as you take another Bomb, Extra Life and Gem, then
take the door if you want to warp to Wave 7.
Otherwise go to the bottom right corner of this area to see a conveyor below.
Run left and jump left to land on it between the lava, then do a careful jump
right to the next conveyor. Take the Gun and drop down for a Sword and some
Bombs. Shoot the skull to get a swing target, then swing (swing a bit lower so
you don't land on the spikes) over for eight more maps and the door to Wave 9.

of this ledge. If a door appears, then you've found the Hidden Door for this
Wave and can collect some Bombs. If the door doesn't appear, then you'll find
it in the Cart section.
Take the Bomb from the boarded up section and jump down, then grab another Bomb
and Sword before heading to the Cart section through the door down here.

Jump into the cart below and jump up to the next conveyor after the lava. Get
some Bombs and Swords before jumping down to a smaller conveyor. Take the Key
and swing to the small conveyor with the Exit Door.
If the Hidden Door didn't show up already in the cart section, then turn left
and throw a Bomb at the right end of the conveyor to your left. If the Hidden
Door appears, then you can collect some more Bombs before using the Exit Door

For a little while now I've had a paypal link in all my FAQs at the very bottom
here. Mainly as a small experiment since a few other FAQ authors have also had
the same idea.
I had a few people email me before I put this link in because they wanted to
send money, so it's here for those people.
For the record I've received about $87 (which works out to a bit more in
Canadian lol) last I checked, so I've been getting cases of pop and making some
excellent progress on a few FAQs.
If you don't want to send money or can't then send me an email, it's nice to
hear what people thought about my work and there's always room for improvement.
My email address is fecalord (AT) gmail (DOT) com, and the paypal address is
listed below.
For those that want to contribute, you can use paypal at the following address:

Many thanks, and I hope you continue to use my work!
