A Savage Predicament is a Fieldwork side quest in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. This walkthrough will guide you through all objectives of the A Savage Predicament Fieldwork side mission.
- Starting Location: Gizeh / Gizeh Village
- Requirement: Speak with Professor Savage in Gizeh Village
- Reward: 525 AP
- Quest Description: Professor Savage said that Sidney’s likely held at the detention center in the Nazi Compound.
In the middle of Gizeh Village, you’ll find Professor Savage trying to solicit support from passersby. Speak with him to begin the Fieldwork assignment A Savage Predicament.
Before you go to the detention center, look to the left of the bench Professor Savage is sitting on to find a card.
Fieldwork Note #2: Hanged Man Card (25 AP)
Search the Detention Center
There’s an easy entrance to the Nazi Compound just north of the tomb from which you recovered the Sebek Stele.
Just climb up the railroad ties leaning up against the rocks and you can climb up and find a passage that goes directly to the detention center.
Inside you’ll hear two Nazis laughing about Sidney’s interrogation. On a nearby table will be a note.
Fieldwork Note #3: Savage’s Letter (25 AP)
Next head to the cells to find a note on the table.
Fieldwork Note #4: Gantz’s Orders (25 AP)
Looks like they’ve moved Sidney to the Mortuary Temple excavation. Before you leave, check the southwest cell for another letter.
Fieldwork Note #5: Sidney’s Letter (25 AP)
While you are here, you can now unlock the Wehrmacht Door that you couldn’t on your last visit, and grab a Medicine Bottle.
Medicine Bottle #4: Nazi Detention Center
Find Sidney in the Digsite
Head back out the way you came in, then head west to the dig site. Once there, the waypoint will lead you to a mess hall, but before you go that way there are a few collectibles to pick up along the way. First there’s money in the guard post by the entrance (60£). Just south of there is a Registration tent (Anmeldung) with a local map, a book, and a locked box with money inside (200£).
Adventure Book #17: Brawler III (Requires 700 AP)
Head to the mess hall waypoint, where you can find a note on one of the tables. The note will tell you that Sidney has been assigned to the A1 tunnel.
Fieldwork Note #6: Gantz’s Journal (25 AP)
Also in the adjoining barracks are a money pouch, roll of bills, a stack of cash (195£), in addition to a Medicine Bottle and a Radio Frequency.
Medicine Bottle #5: Khafre Excavation Site Barracks
Radio Frequency #2: Khafre Excavation Site
South of the mess hall, there are two more notes in a tent across the street.
Discovery Note #44: Excavation Plans
Discovery Note #45: Old Research Journal
Search the A1 Tunnel
Once you’ve gotten all the collectibles, head into the A1 Tunnel to find Sidney. You’ll hear him groaning from a hole in the floor, as though it collapsed under his weight. Latch on to the beam with your whip and lower yourself down to him.
Get Sidney to Safety
Sidney seems to be fine, but you can’t go out the same way you came in. Before you start looking for an exit, look to the east and take a photo of the Adamic Tablet on the wall.
Discovery Note #46: Adamic Tablet (45 AP)
Next pick up a metal rod, and smash the wall to the south. Head into the tunnel and head towards the path that heads west. Along the way you’ll have to knock out two Nazi bruisers so that Sidney can pass safely. Keep heading west, until you reach a beam that you have to lift for Sidney to pass under. Sidney will say he can make his way from there, and disappears.
Return to Savage
Head north after him but before you leave, stop by a planning table inside the dig to find a Medicine Bottle.
Medicine Bottle #6: Khafre Excavation Site Tunnel A2
After getting the medicine bottle, go to the east wall of the room and you’ll find a ladder to climb that leads to the surface. Head to the northwest to find a lookout tower, then climb up to the top. There’s a perfect opportunity to get A Little Tumble 
(push an enemy off a ledge) here if you haven’t already. In the tower is a money pouch (20£) but what you’re really here for is the photo opportunity.
Discovery Note #47: Funerary Temple Dig (45 AP)
Head south from there down the road to find a shelter that has a Medicine Bottle in it.
Medicine Bottle #7: Khafre’s Pyramid
Turn to the west and there’s another photo opportunity right here.
Discovery Note #48: Khafre’s Pyramid (45 AP)
On your way down, stop by tunnel B2 for a photo opportunity.
Discovery Note #49: Funerary Temple Tunnel (45 AP)
The last thing to do in this area is to head back out above ground, then head for the main entrance to the Funerary Temple, where there is supposed to be another stele.
Once inside, smash the breakable wall and head down the stairs inside. The way ahead is blocked by a gate, but near the ground on the left side is a crawlspace blocked with debris. Burn it with your lighter to clear the way. Crawl through and you’ll find a chain to pull to lift the gate in the previous room. Head back and go through the now open gate. In the next room is a large pit and a jar with torches. Not much use at the moment since you’ll be swinging from the bars soon, but you might want to light a couple and chuck them at the far ledge to light up the room a bit further down before you attempt this swing. You’ll have to release the first bar to whip the second bar in mid-air, so time your swing appropriately. Once you’ve attached to the second bar, look to your left to see an open gate. You’ll have to redirect your swing to jump to the platform safely.
Once there, go through the gate and into the next room to find the Ra Stele on the ground.
Stele 6/10
Now continue to whip across the pit to the northeast and once all the way on the other side, head up the stairs and burn the blocked door at the end to open it. From there you can unlock the gate from this side and continue on. On your way out of the Khafre Excavation Site, crawl up the large dirt conveyor belt. There’s a photo opportunity about halfway up.
Discovery Note #50: Conveyor Belt View (35 AP)
Now you can head back to Gizeh Village to meet up with Professor Savage. Before you talk to him, take a photo of him and Sidney together.
Discovery Note #51: Savage and Sidney (35 AP)
And for your trouble, not only do you get the 525 AP for completing the Mystery, but you will also get the Construction Stele from Sidney. Not a bad day’s work.
Stele 7/10
This finishes A Savage Predicament Fieldwork side quest in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
