Unraveling the Secrets of the Fountain of Confession in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

This guide details how to conquer the intricate Fountain of Confession puzzle within the Vatican section of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, a challenge worthy of the silver screen. Solving this puzzle unlocks the mystery surrounding the giants.

Accessing the Puzzle:

After escaping the Vatican's underground and acquiring the scroll from the Giant's tomb, locate the Fountain of Confession using your in-game map. The entrance is accessible via a set of stairs in the outer courtyard (exit Antonio's office as you did in the Sacred Wounds mission). Remember to photograph all clues for Adventure Points!
