All Strange Inscription photo locations in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

“Collect photographs of inscriptions” is an objective you’ll get in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle as part of “The Stolen Cat Mummy.” These are the four Strange Inscriptions that were marked on Crescenzo’s Map.

Our Indiana Jones and the Great Circle guide will show you how to photograph the inscriptions and where to find all four Strange Inscriptions.

Finding the inscriptions scattered around the Vatican is one thing, but actually getting the picture Indy wants is a whole other challenge.

When you get close to an inscription (or any photo-worthy scene), you’ll see a camera icon pop up in the upper left corner of your screen. Pressing up on the D-pad equips your camera, and then holding the left trigger brings it to your eye.

From there, you just have to frame the photo the way the game wants. Luckily, you’ve got a guide. Unluckily, the game doesn’t explain that guide.

When you’re looking through the viewfinder, you’ll see two sets of brackets: one thin and solid white, and the other fuzzy. Your goal is to get them both lined up.

If the fuzzy brackets are inside of the solid ones, that means your subject is too small and you need to either get closer or zoom in. If they’re outside, that means the subject is too big and you need to back up or zoom out.

Once you get the brackets aligned, you’ll get a take picture prompt on the screen.

With the camera in hand, Indy’s map will change to include the rough locations of all four of the strange inscriptions you’re looking for. The numbers in the image above correspond to the descriptions below.

Once you buy the camera from Ernesto, leave the post office and take a right. Follow the road through the big doors to the next courtyard.

Head through the second door on the right — it’s got a gate you can push through. Inside, you’ll see some hedges that are being trimmed.

Head all the way to the back of this area and look to the right to find the first Strange Inscription.

Head back out of the hedge area and take a right (heading west). Go through the doors to return to Belvedere Courtyard. Straight ahead of you, there’ll be a fountain. Loop around to the right side of the fountain to find the next Strange Inscription.

In our experience, this one is the trickiest to get framed correctly. You’ll probably have to zoom way in, and then take a couple of steps back to get it lined up.

From the fountain, head to the south end of Belvedere Courtyard. The Blackshirts are building a stage of some sort there. Head to the right side of the stage and sneak around to the back.

Use your whip to climb to the top of the scaffolding.

When you reach the balcony, turn to the right and follow it over to find Strange Inscription 3.

Turn around from Strange Inscription 3 and head to the far side of the balcony. There’s a Blackguard to deal with — if he’s sitting on the railing, you can always just click the right thumbstick to push him off (it’s super satisfying). Use your whip to climb the scaffolding.

At the top, turn to the right to find an open window. Hop into the hallway there — this is where you’ll find the “House of God” mystery — and continue out a window on the other side.

This will bring you to the Borgia Courtyards. Turn right to find more scaffolding to climb.

Climb that, and the final Strange Inscription will be a little to the left.
