Indiana Jones Great Circle: The Vatican Interactive Map

On this page of our guide to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle you'll find an interactive map of the Vatican - the first major area of the game, visited during the main quest The Stolen Cat Mummy. You can explore Vatican City, Castel Sant'Angelo, the Fountain Underground, the Lower Necropolis, the Underworld, the Library, the Tower of Nicholas V, and the Vatican Museum. Using our map will allow you to learn the locations of adventures (main quests), fieldwork (major side quests), mysteries, discoveries, notes, lost artifacts, ancient relics, medicine bottles, fast travel points, merchants, books, keys, disguises, main and optional puzzles, restricted zones, points of interest, photo opportunities, and locked doors. All this will help you explore 100% of the Vatican.

Castel Sant'Angelo

Castel Sant'Angelo is the first location visited upon arrival at the Vatican. You'll have to go through it at night, finding your first secrets and puzzles. You can return to Castel Sant'Angelo later in the game after unlocking the main map - the passage is in the southeastern part of the Vatican.

Vatican City

This is the main, largest map of Vatican City. It includes the Apostolic Library (which also has its own map), the Belvedere Courtyard, the Apostolic Palace, the Excavation Site, and the Fountain of Confession (you'll later complete a puzzle unlocking its underground passage).

As you traverse the city you must watch out for enemy captains who can see through your disguise, as well as the Restricted Areas heavily guarded by the Fascists - we've marked those areas on the map. Not every area is accessible right away, some only becoming available after progressing through the main story.

Apostolic Library

The Apostolic Library is an area visited after completing Castel Sant'Angelo and meeting Father Antonio. You can explore the library's main rooms (which require a priest disguise and the clergal key). Together with Antonio you'll also get to explore the library's secret underground.

Tower of Nicholas V and its Underworld

The entrance to the tower is located within Vatican City and you'll need to explore it during the quest The Stolen Cat Mummy. The tower has its own, separate, smaller map. You can unlock a secret passage in the tower and go down to the sewers.

The Underworld is located under the Tower of Nicholas V and you will need to explore it during the main questline. It's home to puzzles (such as Sacred Wounds and the Tomb of the Warrior Giant), many clues and collectibles.

Lower Necropolis

This is part of the Underworld, which you'll visit after solving the Tomb of the Warrior Giant puzzle. You'll get to swim, treasure hunt and fight Fascists investigating the Necropolis.

Fountain Underground

The Underground below the Fountain of Confession can be accessed after solving its corresponding puzzle - this is the final area visited in the Vatican. You'll need to complete the Silver Trial and the Gold Trial to acquire two giant keys.

Vatican Museum

The museum can be explored during the optional quest A Nun in Trouble, alongside Gina. Together, her and Indy will look for clues, solve simple puzzles and fight more Fascists.

Fast travel in the Vatican

Vatican City features a fast travel system. It's limited to signposts located at different points of interests - you have to visit the signpost first to unlock it.

Fieldwork, mysteries, and discoveries

The Vatican features following activities:

1. 4x Fieldworks – these are larger side quests that may partially tie into the main plot;
2. 8x Mysteries – these are smaller optional quests, often tied to unique puzzles;
3. Discoveries – these are various smaller activities.

Secrets and collectibles

The collectibles at the Vatican include:

1. Field Notes – there are nearly 200 of them in total. Some notes are linked to specific quests and activities.
2. Ancient Artifacts - there are 10 of them in total.
3. Lost Artifacts - you can find 5 different artifacts.
4. Medicine Bottles - there are 15 of them in total and you can spend them on Books.

Keys and locked doors

Our interactive map will let you know where to find keys, used to open locked doors. We've also marked locked doors and gates - the markers' descriptions explain how to open them.

Points of interest and puzzles

Our maps will let you know of the Vatican points of interests that are worth visiting while exploring the area. We've also marked where to find puzzles - both mandatory and optional.

Books

We've marked the locations of books hidden throughout the Vatican - you can spend Adventure Points to unlock the skills hidden within them. Some books can also help you find collectibles from specific categories (e.g. missing artifacts).

Photos

Our maps also show unique photo opportunities in the Vatican. Taking photos is an easy way to get some more Adventure Points.

Shops - camera and other goods

We've marked both of the Vatican's primary merchants - they can sell you a camera and different books. You must pay for new equipment in lira (the local currency) or by delivering medicine bottles.
