Whipping out the iconic whip of Indiana Jones is a fantasy come true in The Great Circle. The whip can be used as a part of combat and traversal. Throttle focuses on Combat.

Throttle doesn’t increase boost power or damage. Instead, it allows players to knock out unsuspecting light or medium-weight enemies with a whip pull. You will have to complete the mystery in the Vatican labelled “A Nun in Trouble” to attain the book. You will find the book inside an office in Borgia Tower.

Lucky Hat is an intriguing Survival Skill that can give Indiana Jones the ability to pick up his legendary fedora and attain a second chance in a fight. Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean you can spam it incessantly. There is a cooldown period.

Moreover, you can only use this ability if you are equipped with his adventuring outfit. So, be wary of efficiently using your disguises in specific areas. The book can be found in the Captain’s Room in the Castel. This book is also cheaper than most books, as it only costs around 125 Adventure Points, so it’s a no-brainer.

4) Brawler I
