The Secret of Giants is one of several Fieldwork Quests in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, wherein you need an eye for several Strange Inscriptions and your trusty camera. After snapping four shots of Inscriptions as part of The Stolen Cat Mummy main story quest, there will be some extra ones to find in The Secret of the Giants quest. However, tracking down all Inscription locations can be tricky in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, with several only being discoverable during other quests and via unlocking areas around the city.

Taking photos of all Inscriptions is also worthwhile, as it rewards you with the Path of Junia achievement and another Ancient Relic for your collection. Here’s how to find all Inscriptions as part of the Secret of the Giants quest in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

How to Start Secret of the Giants
Close
After getting the camera and taking photos of the four compulsory Inscriptions during The Stolen Cat Mummy quest, you can take photographs of six additional Strange Inscriptions from Crescenzo’s map as an optional Fieldwork mission.
Of course, the order you find all 10 Inscriptions may also depend on what quests you tackle first, as some require specific ones to be completed in order for players to gain access to them. Father Antonio is also interested in seeing all 10 Inscription photographs, which you can find and photograph around Vatican City, as detailed below:

First Inscription
The first Inscription is found in the small garden of the Via di Belvedere map area, as pictured above. You can spot the Inscription in the corner near the scaffold structure, a location you might have spotted when searching for the missing cat during A Free Spirit Mystery. Take a photo of it using the camera to snag the first Inscription.
Second Inscription
The second Inscription is pretty straightforward to locate, as you can find it in the fountain located in the Belvedere Courtyard. Providing you don’t get too close to the patrolling Blackshirts, you shouldn’t have any trouble running across the Courtyard and snapping a quick photo of the Inscription on the fountain.

Third Inscription
Close
The third Inscription involves a bit of climbing and parkour directly above the Belvedere Courtyard. To reach it, climb the scaffold structure behind the stage in the Belvedere Courtyard and use your whip to climb to the top to get to the Belvedere Courtyard balcony. Follow its black-and-white check floor around to find the third Strange Inscription on the wall and use your camera to grab a photo.
Fourth Inscription
Close
The fourth Inscription can be tricky to find, but you can reach it more easily by starting at the third Inscription’s location. Beginning at the Belvedere Courtyard Balcony, climb up and through the window into the Apostolic Palace.

Look out the opposite window and use Indy’s whip to get to the rooftop overlooking the Borgia Courtyards to take a photo of the fourth Inscription showing three graves, as pictured on the map above.
Fifth Inscription
Close
You can find the fifth Inscription immediately to the left of the Fountain of Confessions puzzle, located at the top of the stairs to the southwest of the map in an area called the Vatican Gardens. Snap a photo of the Inscription, which depicts two figures.
Sixth Inscription

The sixth Inscription is discoverable in the Blackshirt camp, which is where you get the Blackshirt disguise to the south of the map, as pictured above. It can be a tricky area to find, as it requires progressing through the main story in The Stolen Cat Mummy, where you meet Gina for the first time.
After speaking with Gina, you can use the nearby zip line to reach the balcony opposite and duck through the hole in the wire fence. Use Indy’s whip to carefully drop to the camp below, where you’ll have to fight three Blackshirt enemies to get the Blackshirt uniform and key. After the fight, you can safely snap a photo of the sixth Inscription in the corner by the door, as pictured above.
Seventh Inscription

The seventh Inscription is located in the Museum part of the map, which you can reach when playing through Gina’s ‘A Nun in Trouble’ side quest. When you first arrive at the Museum, you can find the seventh Inscription at the top of the steps in the external gardens surrounding the Museum, as pictured on the map above. Snap a photo of it to mark the seventh Inscription in your Journal.
Eighth Inscription
Close
You can find the eighth Inscription in the far right corner of the Excavation Site. It’s not necessarily the easiest to find from the Inscription map markers, which seems like it could be below the Site or in the rubble. However, you don’t need to dig to find the tenth Inscription, as you can find it at the top of the Excavation Site in a corner, as pictured above. Grab a photo to tick off the eighth Inscription.

Ninth Inscription
To get to the ninth Inscription, you need to get the Sewer Key to travel through the Sewers underneath the Tower of Nicholas V. You get the Sewer Key during the ‘Mad Priest’ Fieldwork quest after speaking with Sister Catherine and Antonio. You’ll need to use the key to open the locked gate in the Tower of Nicholas V.
Follow the white paint markers on the surrounding pipes and use your whip to climb up and travel through the Sewers. Once you are close to the end of the Sewer pathway, you can find the ninth Inscription on the wall, as pictured above, before proceeding into the Apostolic Palace.
Tenth Inscription

Lastly, you can find the tenth Inscription in the Cellar, which you can find down the steps next to the Vatican City Post Office. However, you’ll need to get the Cellar Key to access the Cellar, which you can only get during the ‘A Savage Discovery’ Fieldwork quest, which involves searching for a missing Stone Tablet.
During ‘A Savage Discovery,’ you’ll eventually reach an objective that involves searching for and fighting a worker called Giuseppe. Once you defeat Giuseppe, search his body to grab the Cellar Key, which you can use to open the Cellar and access the tenth Inscription in the corner of the room while completing the rest of the ‘Savage Discovery’ quest.

Once you’ve photographed all 10 Inscriptions, return to Antonio at the Apostolic Library and add all the photos to the nearby noticeboard to complete The Secret of the Giants Fieldwork quest. There’s also an Ancient Relic to grab from the table as a reward.
Shortly afterward, you should get a notification indicating that you’ve unlocked the Path of Junia achievement, which is awarded for returning all 10 Inscriptions to Antonio.
