To unravel the mystery of the Serpent’s Chest in Indiana Jones & The Great Circle, players need to acquire a vital piece of equipment known as the Rebreather. This device enables Indiana to breathe while submerged underwater, but it comes at a steep price, significantly higher than most other items available for purchase. As a result, players must strategize to gather enough resources to buy the Rebreather before they can utilize its benefits.
Throughout your journey, you’ll come across various currencies. The Rebreather specifically requires Bones, which are a scarcer form of currency compared to Pounds or Euros, and they can be used to make purchases from different vendors. Completing more mysteries and side quests within Indiana Jones & The Great Circle will help you accumulate this currency as you advance through the storyline.
Where to Purchase the Rebreather
Find the Right Vendor
The Rebreather can be located in Sukhothai Village, an area you can access naturally as you progress in the game. When you reach this village, seek out the vendor named Tongdang. After a short cutscene, he’ll present you with the option to purchase the Rebreather for a hefty sum of 798 Bones, touted as a generous discount.
You might either have enough Bones saved up from completing missions or discovering various treasures, allowing you to buy the Rebreather right off the bat.
If you encounter Tongdang and find you still lack sufficient Bones, consider selling off unnecessary items from your inventory. However, keep in mind that you may need to save as many Bones as possible for that coveted Rebreather.
Ways to Earn Money in Sukhothai
Canvassing for Cash
If you find yourself short on funds for the Rebreather, you can engage in an optional side quest titled "Steal Voss’ Gold." Voss, a notorious villain in Sukhothai, has been wreaking havoc on the village, so his loss would not disappoint anyone. Following this particular line of work can yield enough Bones to not just buy the Rebreather but also additional items from Tongdang.
Preparing for Your Heist
Before diving into this side quest, rest assured that Tongdang will hold the Rebreather for you once you express interest in it. Completing this mission ahead of main quests can significantly increase your earnings in any region.
To collect Voss’ gold, head to his camp and locate the safe where he stashes his loot. Be prepared, as this area is heavily guarded, requiring careful strategy—either fight your way through or sneak past the enemies monitoring the vicinity.
Ironically, Voss’ camp is also where you’ll find the Serpent’s Chest, making this journey rewarding even if you already have enough Bones for the Rebreather. The Serpent’s Chest is linked to one of the biggest mysteries in Indiana Jones & The Great Circle, offering some fantastic rewards. To access it, you’ll need to find three specific keys:
- The Ancient Vatican Key
- The Ancient Gizeh Key
- The Ancient Shanghai Key
Once you successfully obtain Voss’ gold, head back to Tongdang to acquire the Rebreather. This device guarantees you can dive into any body of water, unlocking new gameplay mechanics and secrets that were previously inaccessible.
However, proceed with caution—while the Rebreather significantly increases your air supply, it’s not limitless. You’ll still need to monitor your breathing as you explore deeper waters that come with new challenges, including hostile underwater creatures like snakes.
You won’t receive hints about the locations of the Ancient Keys upon acquiring the Rebreather. Therefore, it’s essential to keep exploring various regions, as some areas will only open up as you move forward in the main storyline.
Once you possess the Rebreather in Indiana Jones & The Great Circle, you’ll find a wealth of opportunities for discovery and adventure awaiting you.
