How to solve the Sacred Wounds puzzle in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

You’ll find the Sacred Wounds puzzle in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle while exploring the Underworld below Nicholas the Fifth’s tower in the Vatican. You’ll reach it after finding and photographing the four Strange Inscriptions for Father Antonio.

Our Indiana Jones and the Great Circle guide will show you how to find the Sacred Wounds puzzle, and includes a full Sacred Wounds puzzle solution.

How to find the Sacred Wounds puzzle

After Indy and Father Antonio solve the mystery of the Strange Inscriptions, you’ll have to head to Nicholas the Fifth’s Tower right down the road.

When you get to the tower, head into the room on the west side of the tower. As you approach the altar, snap a picture of the Strange Mural.

Pour some wine into the basin and the mural will become a lock. Interact with it and turn it until the door opens.

On the other side of the Underworld Gate, you’ll find a deteriorating staircase. Before you go anywhere, grab a candle from the altar so you can see what you’re doing (the Underworld is dark).

If you head up, you can find the Parade Helmet — part of the Lost Artifacts of Europe discovery. Once you’ve got it, take the stairs all the way down.

Keep lighting braziers and torches as you go and follow the only path you can. Eventually, you’ll reach the Sacred Wounds puzzle.

How to solve the Sacred Wounds puzzle

As you approach the puzzle, snap a picture of it, and then pour wine into the basin. Five levers will appear corresponding to Jesus’s hands, side, and feet — the titular sacred wounds.

To the left and right of the puzzle, there are five more murals and basins to interact with. They’ll give you the numbers you need to set the various levers to.

We’ll start by heading left.

Just to the left of the Sacred Wounds puzzle, you’ll find the Holy Chalice mural.

When you get there, there’ll be an antique bust laying on top of the basin. Pick it up and move it out of the way.

Grab a picture of the mural and note the body part with a halo-like circle around it — Jesus’ left hand (your right).

When you’re ready, pour wine in the basin. This will reveal a number (Roman numeral) — 2.

Body of Christ (right hand)

Continue left and through the gate. When you pass under the gate, it will close behind you. That’s fine — there’s another way out.

Snap a picture and pour wine in the basin to get your next number — 2.

Over to the left of the mural, you’ll find a torch next to a door. Light it from the fire by the mural and then pass through the door.

Around the corner, you’ll find the next mural. Before you do anything with it, though, grab one of the heavy candlesticks from the ground on your left and use it to break down the fragile wall. That’s your way back to the main room.

Grab a photo of the mural (statue) and do the wine trick again to get the next number — 3.

Walking on Water (right foot)

Back in the main room, look to the right of the Sacred Wounds puzzle. This mural doesn’t have any extra steps to it. Snap your picture and pour the wine to get another 3.

Anointment of Jesus (left foot)

To the right, you can see the next mural, but there’s a gate in the way. Luckily, there’s a crack in the wall right next to it. Pass through and turn to the left to find a chain that will open the gate (or ignore it and go back through the crack).
