** The Knights of the Grail have protected their treasure with a series of tests, each more fiendish than the last, to ensure that no unworthy man may pass. The tests are multi-layered: to be proven worthy, one must find the clues to the tests elsewhere, interpret them correctly, and successfully act on the interpretation. Without the clues (which Indy's father found in his decades of research into Grail lore) it would be considerably harder, if not effectively impossible, to figure out the traps before they killed you. ThoseWackyNazis try to beat it with [[TrialAndErrorGameplay Trial & Error]] -- but they've already lost ''over a dozen people'' '''to the first trap''' by the time Indy shows up, with Donovan shouting: "Get another volunteer." The final test, is simply of picking out the real Grail among all the dozens of fakes. No physical trait would give any advantage in figuring this one out. [[spoiler:The correct one would be the cup looks completely unlike all the rest made only out of wood rather than gold. Also, anyone who is knowledgeable about Jesus would know he was the son of a humble carpenter and thus would likely not be able to have own a golden cup.]]
** Even Indy has a brief bout of IdiotBall and almost falls victim to the second trap. He realizes how it works - you step on the letters on the tiles on the floor to spell out "Jehovah" - but momentarily forgets at first that in the original Latin the name starts with an "I". After nearly falling to his doom, he gets it right.

* ProlongedPrologue: The movie has what seems like an interminably long prologue set just before World War I, when Indy is a teen boy.

Also, the city of Petra (used as the grail temple) is in Jordan.
* ReadingIsCoolAesop: The way {{Book Burning}}s are handled comes off as this trope, showing a mass burning of Jewish literature as a collective KickTheDog for the participating Berliners. The elder Dr. Jones later references this in a minor Awesome Moment:

** The HolyGrail. First of all, the term "Holy Grail" originally referred to an object, not clearly defined, probably a bowl, but definitely not a cup, that was wholly (no pun intended) fictional, purely a literary device. At some point, it somehow became conflated with the Holy Chalice, the cup that Christ drank from at the Last Supper, which was offhandedly mentioned in the bible, but as nothing more or less than what it was: a cup. The Christian religion has no significant tradition regarding the Holy Chalice, merely saying that it is Holy by virtue of the fact that Christ handled it, so in the same sense that Christ's sandals could be called "The Holy Sandals".
** The "Holy Grail as granter of eternal life" plot is not based on the Bible or later Christian tradition either. The writers came with it after toying with the idea of having Indy find the Holy Grail in the ActionPrologue and then go to look for some version of the FountainOfYouth in the movie proper. Somebody suggested mixing the two, and the rest is (movie) history.

* WorthlessTreasureTwist: The HolyGrail is real enough treasure, but it can't be brought out of its resting place without bringing the whole place down around it.

Plus, now that they know where it is, it becomes more important to escape alive so that they can return to set up a proper dig site and recover it.

* ImpossibleTask: A visual version of this trope is the third challenge. The bridge across the ravine doesn't seem to be there at all until you do what you think is impossible and have enough faith to step off the ravine. It's then that you discover the bridge ''was'' there all along, just painted so subtly you couldn't tell it from the far ravine wall. There's also a very powerful metaphor for faith in that visual riddle: faith is sometimes described as jumping off a cliff and landing safely in midair.

Part of the risk is the Nazis think the only relevant pages (the Map to the Canyon of the Crescent Moon) are with Marcus; they don't know Henry Sr. recorded clues on the Grail Temple's defenses. So, if the Joneses get caught, the Nazis are rightly going to wonder why they risked braving the heart of Hitler's domain to retrieve a now-worthless Diary -- especially as one would've expected them to flee Germany to try and hook up with Marcus (as they didn't know he'd been captured when they escaped Castle Brunwald).

* KansasCityShuffle: Downplayed when the Joneses go to Berlin to retrieve the Grail Diary. Part of the risk is the Nazis think the only relevant pages (the Map to the Canyon of the Crescent Moon) are with Marcus; they don't know Henry Sr. recorded clues on the Grail Temple's defenses. So, if the Joneses get caught, the Nazis are rightly going to wonder why they risked braving the heart of Hitler's domain to retrieve a now-worthless Diary -- especially as one would've expected them to flee Germany to try and hook up with Marcus (as they didn't know he'd been captured when they escaped Castle Brunwald). To disguise the true motive, Indy intentionally misdirects Elsa (who is shocked that he came back for the Diary) by playing up his father's sentimentality and making her think Henry Sr. didn't want it incinerated.

* LiquidAssets: The knight guarding the Holy Grail explains that "The true Grail will give you life, and the false Grail will take life from you." When Donovan drinks from the wrong Grail, he ages rapidly until he dies, his body decomposes and turns to dust. Notable for the fact that Donovan grows a considerable amount of hair during the ageing process, and may well have died of starvation for all we know.

** Tank goes off a cliff, Nazi dies, Dr. Jones mourns for Indiana who seeming went down too, Indy climbs up a vine behind him and sneaks up during his eulogy.
** Elsa Schneider finds herself dangling from a cliff created by the earthquake she caused when trying to leave a temple with the Holy Grail. In a pure TakeMyHand scene, she attempts to recover the Grail resting just out of her arm's reach. Her persistence is her ultimate undoing and she falls to her death. Indiana then tumbles over and finds himself in the exact predicament, but his father is able to act as the voice of reason.
* LiteralMetaphor: Indy and Henry Sr. argue over traveling to Berlin to get the Grail diary or going to Iskenderun to save Marcus, they're at a literal crossroads, with the road sign shaped like a cross.
