Nathan’s lifelong dream of discovering the lost city drives them forward, but the journey is far from easy. The stakes continue to rise as Elena encounters new obstacles and dangers, putting her work, passion, and very life in jeopardy. Will she and Nathan be able to find Atlantis and unlock its secrets, or will the cost of their quest be too high? Only time will tell what sacrifices they will have to make, but one thing is certain: they will need to stay strong, focused, and united if they hope to survive the challenges ahead.

• 59 basic levels
• 1 mystery level
• 0 challenge levels
• Side objectives earn 300 points; completing them as part of normal play is usually necessary for 3 stars
• 0 impossible 3 star levels
• 0 hard 3 star levels
• A bonus is applied to the Excavations minigame. Sixty points is added to your score the first time you select a minigame in a level, regardless of the number of stars you receive. The second time you select the minigame, you receive 70 additional points; third time 80 points, etc.  This is flawed logic, unintended I’m sure, and can be used to the player’s advantage. A minigame only appears in each level a maximum number of times, except if you don’t play it or you get 0 stars. Six minigames appear in level 30 if you get 1 or more stars; 10 if you don’t play it or you get 0 stars. But you keep getting the bonus points for the 0 stars scenario. Therefore, by playing the minigames and getting 3 stars 6 times, you’ll get 870 points. Playing the minigames and getting 0 stars 10 times will earn you 1050 points.
