Object

Perfectly Form-Fitted Temple Boulder

A colossal boulder, shaped to seal the temple's inclined passage perfectly, bursts around the corner in pursuit of Indy. It obliterates stone walls, sends stalactites flying as shrapnel, crushes his hat flat, and slams into place at the exit, trapping the inner sanctum behind an impenetrable barrier as he dives to safety.

Boulder Chase — Temple Sealed

The colossal, perfectly form-fitted temple boulder is the active trap: it crashes around the corner in pursuit, obliterates stone, crushes obstacles, and ultimately wedges itself at the passage entrance to permanently seal the chamber and block Indy's re-entry.

Before: Concealed within the temple mechanism, poised to roll when triggered; stationary but primed within the inner sanctum's launch channel.

After: Locked into place at the passage entrance, forming an impenetrable barrier and having crushed debris (including Indy's hat) beneath it.
