Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is full of all kinds of puzzles, exploration, and intrigue. But it’s at its best when those experiences collide. Wat Mahathat, the ancient Buddhist temple in Thailand, is perhaps the best example of this. Once you reach it by boat (after you discover the entrance to the secret passage), you’ll be confronted with a familiar configuration: a room built to resemble the Nephilim game.
How to Solve the Blessed Pearl Puzzle in Wat Mahathat
After obtaining access to Wat Mahathat in the mission “The Blessed Pearl,” your path forward will be blocked by another Nephilim puzzle, like the one you found in the Hidden Temple.

This time you’ll have the villagers standing in for pieces. But even though the game board is much bigger, it operates just the same. Each time you place a piece down on a spot next to a tall, immobile totem, the totem will rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise.
To start, look at a villager and have them stand on the spot in front of the totem on the right side. Next, have one stand to the right of the same totem.
After that, have one stand behind each of the two totems in the back of the room. Next, walk onto the board yourself and stand on the left side of the totem furthest back (which you just placed two villagers next to).
Once you take your spot, the final totem will face the statue, solving the puzzle and allowing you to reach the innermost parts of the temple in search of the Blessed Pearl.
It’s not over yet, Indy. While you’ve gotten past this obstacle, you still need to outmaneuver Voss. Good luck!
