The longest path in which Indy survives is twenty pages, but even then, it ends with a Nazi spy recovering the Eye of the Fates, intent on using it as a German super-weapon. The page sequence for this path is:
- 1 → 2 → 3 → 19 → 58 → 103 → 60 → 61 → 63 → 87 → 67 → 108 → 69 → 84 → 85 → 99 → 118 → 100 → 101 → 122
