Instead, he went and found the thing and the whole world was in danger. It's not like the thing's going anywhere! Then, later after the war when the Nazis are gone and there's no more threat, thengo dig it up. Hopefully, Hitler will have a few of them executed for their failure. Then just sit back and laugh knowing that Belloq and the Nazis will be up to their eyeballs in sand with nothing to show for it because they don't have the right location. Instead, having the amulet in his pocket, he should have gone the fuck home and made sure that thing got locked up where nobody could ever get to it. You know how Raiders of the Lost Ark should have ended? When Indy figured out that the Nazis were digging in the wrong place because they had only half of the information needed from the amulet and thus the staff was the wrong length and the sun laser pointed to the wrong spot on the map, he should absolutely have not gone to dig up the Ark at the correct coordinates.
Absolutely do not retrieve it, because the moment you do the villains will thank you for doing the work for them and steal it from you". It's so frequent in fact that if there is ever a list of shit to not do when you're a hero akin to the Evil Overlord List, this should be right near the top: "If the evil villains need something to complete their plan and it's at the end of a difficult gauntlet or inside a deathtrap or has an elaborate and mind-melting puzzle to find it or something similar, leave it where the hell it is. I call this a pet peeve because similar plot points show up so often. Isn't it safer where it is than anywhere we could take it to? Why in the hell would they even do that? If it's that difficult to extract it, and she's well protected by soldiers and our heroes, why not leave it there? Removing it is just asking for the enemy to steal it, we're doing their work for them. I've hit the part where the last Fragment is in the Waterspirit and they want to go through this elaborate and difficult process to take it out of her. I don't want to sound too critical of this extremely well-developed game, but I've come to a pet peeve in the story.
