Completing A Savage Predicament fieldwork in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

This quest cannot be started until you have safely escaped the Nazi camp and returned to Nawal's tent as part of the main story. Additionally, make sure to have completed the "A Savage Discovery" quest in Vatican City beforehand. Once these steps have been completed, Nawal will mention a lost Englishman wandering the Gizeh markets.

Reach the area and speak with Savage. He will tell you that Sidney is being held captive by the Nazis at their detention center. Before heading to the detention center, consider acquiring the Wehrmacht disguise if you haven't already done so. This makes it easier for you to get around restricted areas.

From the main door, head left and straight to the lower floor until you notice a room with jail bars as its door on your right. Go in and find on the table a note from Gantz regarding Sidney's fate. If you wish to, head to the nearby room and pick up Sidney's letter addressed to his mom. Then, head toward the dig site marked on your map.

Head inside the marked green tent to find a note from Gantz. It is revealed that Sidney fell down a hole within the A1 shaft. Head outside, and go into the A1 shaft. You will notice a hole in the wall. Above you is a platform from which you can grapple and reach the lower level. Once down, a cutscene will play. When it ends, use the nearby weapon on the weak wall directly ahead to destroy it.

Head outside, and follow the tracks as they turn left. Keep following it as it turns right and go upward, toward the shining beam of light. Upon reaching the light source, turn right and continue heading upwards. You will eventually reach an area with a wooden piece blocking the way.

Interact with it to help Sidney escape before doing the same. Then, head to the market to speak with Savage and a very thankful Sidney. He will give you a Stele as a reward. You can also expect some Adventure Points for your troubles.
