Navigating the Museum Wing and Gathering Clues
Upon leaving the Sistine Chapel with Gina, your next destination is the Vatican Museum Wing. This area is under heavy fascist guard. There are several ways to approach the museum entrance, depending on your preferred playstyle. If you possess the Blackshirt Uniform Disguise, you can navigate the area with relative ease, avoiding direct confrontation with most guards. Otherwise, a stealthy approach is recommended.
Stealth Approach
- Crouch and hug the left wall near the guarded entrance.
- Follow the narrow passage past crates to the Museum Wing door.
- Avoid direct sightlines with patrolling Blackshirts.
Disguise Approach
- Utilize the Blackshirt Uniform Disguise if acquired.
- Walk past guards, but remain vigilant around Captains.
- Provides easier access but requires careful movement.
Once inside the museum, Gina will assist you in lockpicking doors. The main objective is to reach the stockroom, where Giuliana was last expected. The museum is a maze of clues, and diligent searching is key to progressing.
Enter the Museum Wing
Locate the entrance on the edge of Belvedere Square. Use stealth or a disguise to bypass guards. Gina will open a window for you to enter a lower level.
Reach the Stockroom
Navigate through the museum halls. Gina will lockpick a door leading to the stockroom. Be prepared for potential encounters with Blackshirts along the way; Gina can handle some on her own, but assistance is often needed.
Search for Evidence
In the stockroom, look for several critical clues. These include a bloody handprint, a piece of fascist uniform cloth, Giuliana's identification card, and a photograph of Dr. Jones. Each clue helps piece together Giuliana's situation.
The Museum Wing is crawling with Blackshirts. Be prepared for combat or employ stealth tactics to avoid detection. Gina can assist in fights, but prioritize your own safety and situational awareness.
| Clue Type | Location (Stockroom) | Significance | Fieldwork Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloody Handprint | Far wall | Indicates a struggle or injury | A Nun in Trouble |
| Fascist Cloth | Near handprint | Suggests involvement of Blackshirts | A Nun in Trouble |
| Giuliana's ID Card | On the ground | Confirms Giuliana was present | A Nun in Trouble |
| Castello Photograph | Small box (Gina's find) | Photo of Indy at Castel Sant'Angelo, implies surveillance | A Nun in Trouble |
| Footprints | Lower floor | Suggests someone was running | A Nun in Trouble |
| Blood Smear & Ring | Next room, near fascist hat | Evidence of a violent encounter; Giuliana's ring | A Nun in Trouble |
Rescuing Giuliana in Borgia Tower
After uncovering the clues in the museum, you'll learn that Giuliana has been taken to the Borgia Tower, accused of killing a guard. Your next mission is to head to the tower and rescue her. The Borgia Tower is accessible from Via di Belvedere. The easiest path involves returning to the Belvedere Courtyard and climbing the scaffolding behind the large stage construction.
Before ascending the tower, consider a quick detour. As you exit the room where you found Giuliana's ring, you'll pass a room with a safe. Flick the green lamp by the door to reveal a blacklight, showing the combination 7171. Inside, you'll find a Drinking Horn, a valuable Lost Artifact of Europe.
Inside the Apostolic Palace, Gina will rejoin you, opening a door on the right. The tower ascent will involve multiple encounters with Blackshirts, including Medics, making combat challenging. Utilize improvised weapons and environmental distractions to gain an advantage.
| Encounter Type | Strategy | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Two Blackshirts | Distract with bottle, use improvised weapons | Early tower ascent |
| Two Blackshirts + Medic | Prioritize Medic, use cover, melee attacks | Mid-tower, more challenging |
| Bruiser (Final) | Dodge powerful punches, heavy melee attacks | Interrogation room, rescue Giuliana |
Once you reach the top, Gina will assist in unlocking the final door, leading you to Giuliana's interrogation. You'll face a fascist Bruiser; quickly defeat him to untie Giuliana.
Giuliana will reveal critical intelligence: the Vatican has been spying on Dr. Jones since his dig at Siwa, indicating a high-level conspiracy. She will provide Giuliana's Information and Giuliana's Key, which unlocks a secret room in the tower, initiating the "Father and Son Mystery."
Borgia Tower Rescue Checklist:
- Locate Borgia Tower entrance (Via di Belvedere).
- Climb scaffolding from Belvedere Courtyard.
- Fight through Blackshirt patrols, including Medics.
- Utilize improvised weapons and environmental advantages.
- Defeat the Bruiser in the interrogation room.
- Untie Giuliana and receive vital intel and Giuliana's Key.
