The Ancient Caves section of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle follows the Chamber of Resonance in the Gizeh mission. To progress, redirect light through the Light Chamber and Three Eyed Gate, cross the broken Bridge Cavern, then activate the temple’s pressure plates. The Ancient Relic slot puzzle in the cavern is optional.
Enter the Ancient Caves
Before you reach the caves, finish the Chamber of Resonance. Photograph the restored tablet, then enter the translated words in this order:

Correctly entering the phrase opens the underground route. As you follow it, light braziers and photograph murals if you want the related journal notes; these are collectible observations, not the central solution to the mirror puzzles.
Open the Light Chamber door
Direct the available beam into the dish beside the door. In the next room, take a photograph before moving on to the larger mirror puzzle.

Solve the Three Eyed Gate
Route light to the gate
Photograph the gate and inspect its symbols. Each lock is opened by directing light to reproduce its symbol. Use a mirror to send a beam into the dish associated with a nearby door, then follow that passage to find another reflector and redirect light back toward the gate room.
Bring back the brass mirror
Continue along the route until a collapse blocks a reflector path. Carry the brass mirror back to the gate room and install it on the northeastern mount. It provides an additional beam. The angled beam from this mirror cannot reach every reflector on the right side, so use the available paths rather than expecting it to serve every dish.

Match the three lock symbols
For each lock, arrange the three beams so their reflected portions reproduce the symbol shown on that lock. The written walkthrough describes this matching mechanic, but its extracted text does not show the solution-image layouts; there is no reliable left-to-right mirror configuration to give here. Compare the visible symbol with the light pattern at the gate and adjust the reflectors until the pattern matches.

Optional: solve the Ancient Relic slot puzzle
This detour is for a collectible, not main-story progression. Find the lower levels off the broken-bridge area and place Ancient Relics into the puzzle’s slots. Rotating a relic left ejects adjacent slots. Rotating it right ejects relics in a horizontal or vertical line, stopping where the layout has no supporting slot.
You can try arrangements with the relics you have, or solve the puzzle using four relics. Completing it opens a nearby stone door and awards a Gizeh Ancient Relic.

Activate the temple and continue
Let sunlight into the room
In the large temple room, step on its three pressure plates to open portals in the ceiling and admit sunlight. Once the statue is illuminated, interact with it to advance.
Survive the giant encounter
During the fight, reopening the light can help you navigate. Crouch to avoid noisy debris, use metal rods for heavy attacks, and retreat between strikes rather than staying close to the giant.
Open the onward path
After defeating the giant, take the Guardian Pendant and place it in the matching slot in the statue. This opens the path to the Idol of Ra.
Source and scope
This route follows PowerPyx’s The Idol of Ra Walkthrough, dated June 26, 2025. Game8’s Gizeh Guide and Gameranx’s Chamber Of Resonance Puzzle Guide corroborate the mission and cave relationship.
