What you need to do to get the secret ending in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Find all the relics to get the ending (Image via Bethesda Softworks)

To get the secret ending, you need to collect all 50 Ancient Relics scattered throughout the game. You can find 49 relics while exploring the three major zones of the campaign. Try to find relic books in each region to acquire the items. The final relic is located on the last level, specifically inside Voss' tent.

Entering Voss' tent will automatically trigger a cutscene leading to the final confrontation and the base game ending. After the end credits roll, you'll be returned to the cavern/dig site and can continue exploring. At this point, revisit Voss' tent to retrieve the 50th relic.

Before proceeding, make sure to have collected all 49 relics from the earlier zones because, after the scene in Voss’ tent, you won’t be able to go back to the previous regions. Without all 50 relics, you cannot complete the secret ending puzzle.

Locate the Iraq wall puzzle

Once you’ve completed the game and collected all 50 relics, you’ll find yourself back outside the final area in Iraq.

Head to the Ziggurat of Ur, the area you visited during the last chapter. After exiting the elevator with Gina, look for a large tunnel to your right. Enter it to reach a cavernous room containing a wall puzzle. You will see four shapes on the wall that represent the puzzle.

Solve the Iraq wall puzzle

The goal of the wall puzzle is to use all 50 relics to activate all the indentations/slots on the wall. Here's how the mechanics work:

Relic placement mechanics

• Turn a relic to the right: Activates all prongs (nodes) in the vertical column and horizontal row of the placement point.
• Turn a relic to the left: Activates all prongs directly adjacent and diagonal to the placement point.

What is the secret ending of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle?

Once you successfully solve the Iraq wall puzzle, the secret ending cutscene will play. The camera focuses on Noah’s Ark, abandoned in a snowy, mountainous region (likely the Himalayas or a similar location). Large footprints in the snow are revealed, implying that Locus survived and possesses the power of the Great Circle.

That said, many players have complained that the ending feels underwhelming, considering the amount of work it takes to unlock.
