Prologue Walkthrough

Objectives
1 The Prologue is from the opening scene of Raider's of the Lost Ark and will orient you on the game's basic controls.

▶List of All Books
3 Once you reach the temple entrance, there will be a short tutorial for crouching to avoid traps. Make your way through the cave and crouch to avoid the light to prevent the spike traps from activating.

You'll eventually reach a small chasm where you'll need to use your whip to swing across to the other side.
4 You'll eventually reach a large open area where the Gold Idol is sitting in the center.

You'll need to press down on the floor tiles with a circle to disarm the trapped tiles which will allow you to progress safely.

Once you reach the altar, use your Sandbag tool and switch it with the Gold Idol.
4 A short cutscene will play where the trap activates anyways. Make a run towards the exit, and throw the idol at the guide.

The guide will unfortunately not throw the whip back, so you'll need to jump across the chasm.
5 Once you make it safely across, continue running towards the exit until the dream sequence ends.

There is another vase to the left of the lake, in the ruins, BEFORE entering the temple

There are at least three artifacts in the prelude. The aforementioned book, and then after the whip scene there is a bunch of ruins on the path to the left of the cave you need to enter. There are two rock arches you can crawl under. One has a star like artifact next to a skull, the one further down the path has a vase on the ground.
