To begin the Fortune's Reach mystery, progress through the main storyline until you arrive in Gizeh. Gina will prompt you to find a blue tent where the story continues. Inside, you will meet Nawal, who provides a detailed map of Gizeh. This map is highly recommended as it makes navigating the city’s intricate streets much easier.

After leaving the blue tent, turn around to face it and look to the left. You’ll see a shack nearby. On it, you’ll find a wanted poster depicting two Frenchmen disguised as diggers. The poster describes them as artifact thieves, and Indy takes it upon himself to track them down, officially starting the Fortune's Reach mystery.

The primary objective of this mystery is to follow the thieves’ trail by examining clues and footprints scattered throughout Gizeh.

Begin by heading to a nearby shack marked by a spilled red paint bucket surrounded by footprints. Take a photo of this scene, and Indy will deduce that the footprints belong to the thieves. This marks the start of their trail. Initially, the trail is easy to follow due to the red paint, which leads you around a bend toward the road.

However, the paint quickly fades, and you’ll need to carefully observe the environment to spot faint footprints in the sand that guide you across the street and deeper into Gizeh. Be attentive, as the sandy environment can make the footprints challenging to see.

The footprints lead to a dark, foreboding tunnel. To proceed, crouch and enter the tunnel, which ends in a collapsed section of rubble. Here, you’ll find a pair of legs sticking out from the debris, indicating that the thieves perished during a tunnel collapse. Nearby, you’ll also find a document titled Graverobbing Plan, detailing the thieves’ methods and the purpose of their heist.

At the right-hand side of the tunnel’s dead end, you’ll discover the True Grit Adventure Book. This valuable reward reduces damage taken when Indy’s health bar is critically low, significantly improving survivability in intense combat situations.
