The Vatican Relics and Riddles of the Ancients is one such task that requires patience and strategy. Your journey begins by locating the Vatican Relics guidebook. This essential item will mark the relics on your map, simplifying your hunt.

From the Apostolic Library, head south to the Belvedere Courtyard. Spot the scaffolding at the construction site, climb the ledges, and reach a section between the Apostolic Palace and the Borgia Tower. Inside, a puzzle box awaits. Solve it to unlock the guidebook.

Start by sliding the lever to the right. A compartment on the left will open, revealing a disc. Move the lever left to open another panel on the right, then place the disc inside. Collect the chalice, set it on the central base, and retrieve the guidebook from the box.

Once you have the guidebook, follow the instructions given below and grab all ten Ancient Relics.

Your first two relics are conveniently located in the Apostolic Library.

  1. Relic 1 in the Crypt: Beneath the library, the crypt houses your first relic. This area is accessible during the main quest with Father Antonio. Acquiring this relic initiates the Riddle of the Ancients side quest.
  2. Relic 2 in Father Antonio’s Office: This relic requires completing the Secret of Giants quest. Photograph all ten Strange Inscriptions and assemble them on a board in Father Antonio’s office. The artifact becomes yours after completing this task.

  • Relic 3: Near a pit, use your bullwhip to rappel down and swing to a ledge. If you fall, reload the autosave to try again.
  • Relic 4: Burn wooden boards blocking a passage. Light a torch, throw it through a small opening, and retrieve it to clear the path.
  • Relic 5: In a chamber with a murky pool, find a marble bust and place it on the pedestal along the right-hand side to open a metal gate.
  • Relic 6: Use your bullwhip to climb beams in the next area. Look for a hidden ledge with a Nike Statue and a small room containing the relic.
  • Relic 7: Solve a puzzle involving marble busts and pedestals in a corridor. Once complete, smash a weakened wall to access this relic.
