The Indiana Jones Silver Path Trial requires Indy to move some stone tablets around to avoid getting incinerated by the flames. However, if you evade the fire and place the tablets correctly to unlock the exit, you get to forge a Silver Key of St. Peter, which you need to unlock the secret Nephilim Order monastery’s inner sanctum. This, along with the Indiana Jones Gold Path, is one of the final hurdles of the Cat Mummy mystery, so there's no way to bypass this puzzle if you want to progress. If you need help crossing the Silver Path with flying colors, here’s what you need to do.
Indiana Jones Silver Path puzzle walkthrough
To complete the Silver Path Trial in Indiana Jones, you have to carry and deposit two stone tablets, all the while avoiding deadly flames. Doing so will unlock the exit gate, letting you reach the final area where you can ignite the forge to create the necessary Silver Key, getting you one step closer to wrapping up this leg of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
The Silver Path room is symmetrical, consisting of a central area with a stone receptacle and an archway ahead, which leads to the exit gate, as well as two small side paths with metal bars. On either side of the central area, you’ll see another stone platform with a receptacle on it separated by a fire pit – there are wooden beams high above the fire pits that you can use to swing across with the whip. Furthermore, while there is a sense of urgency, there doesn’t seem to be a timer for this trial, so you can take your time. This is what you need to do:
Article continues below- Head through the archway ahead and then go left to find a skeleton on the floor clutching a stone tablet.
- Collect the stone tablet and take it back to the way you came, then deposit it into the stone receptacle. This causes a gate to shut, separating Indy and Gina.
- From the receptacle, turn left and swing across to the fire pit to reach the receptacle on the right.
- Pick up a second stone tablet from the receptacle, then hand it to Gina through the metal bars.
- When you try to swing back to the middle area, the wooden beam above will break, so you can instead walk up the collapsed pillar on your left and then climb across to the middle. However, depending on your health and the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle difficulty level you’re playing on, you can quite easily just sprint and jump across the fire pit to take minimal damage.
- Use the whip again to swing across the other fire pit, then wait for Gina to appear at the metal bars and hand the stone tablet back to Indy.
- Place the stone tablet in the nearby receptacle. Gina should then tell you that the gate is open.
- Swing back across to the middle, then run out the gate.
- Carry on down the path to reach the Silver Path Forge (which you can take a photo of) and then ignite it by pulling the chain all the way down. With that, a door will open that leads back into the room you started in.
- Head over to the mold which molten silver is flowing into, then look up and use the whip to yank the metal ring attacked to the stone above the mold. Doing so releases water to cool the metal, leaving a perfect Silver Key behind.
Having hopefully avoided some third-degree burns, you’ve just completed the Indiana Jones Silver Path and have forged the Silver Key. Now you can take it down the steps and place it on the door you’re trying to unlock.
If you’ve not already done it, you now need to complete the Indiana Jones Gold Path to forge the Gold Key, but otherwise you can wander into the monastery and begin looking for clues on what this secret Nephilim Order is all about.
Uncovering the Nephilim Order in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a thrilling time, making this one of the best adventure games you can play right now.
