A Sunstone was a stone disc of Atlantean technology featuring four solar symbols: rising sun, noon sun, setting sun and 'darkness'. It was used as part of combination mechanism for several Atlantean outposts. For the Greater Colony or the entrance of Atlantis, other stones were required.[1]
Sophia Hapgood had one such stone although could not remember if she bought it from Alain Trottier or Omar Al-Jabbar, until Klaus Kerner robbed her office. On his search for Atlantis, Indiana Jones found and used another.[1]
Professor Sternhart possessed another. However, following his death in the ruins of Knossos, his Sunstone was accidentally crushed by a primitive lift and destroyed.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Sunstone appears in the video game Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and the place it is found differs between the plot branches.
- In the "Team" path, Alain Trottier possesses a Sunstone, and the couple lure him in the Monte Carlo hotel in order to acquire it from him. It is shown to Al-Jabbar to convince him to help Indy and Sophia; later it is used to open a secret door in the Atlas Mountains dig site to free Sophia.[1]
- In the "Fists" path, the Sunstone is found in the dig site, and then is used to open the secret door and causes Rolf to approach Indy.[1]
- In the "Wits" path, Trottier again possesses a Sunstone, but drops it in a random location when the Nazis abduct him, and Indy then has to find it. The Sunstone is used in Thera.[1]
