10 games inspired by Indiana Jones

From deadly expeditions to dangerous traps, Indiana Jones has influenced more video games than can fit in a museum.

Towards the end of the castle, you may encounter one of the game's Mysteries, a puzzle to solve that leads to hidden passages, treasures, or shortcuts. Bulls Of Blood Mystery gives you the opportunity to sneak out of the fortress with much less risk of fighting.

How to start the mystery of the blood bulls

Once you enter the main structure of Castel Sant'Angelo, the path will lead you in front of the Blackshirts barracks. The default path is to sneak into the second floor of the barracks and steal the Captain's key so you can reach the roof; you can get extra money and supplies this way, but it's obviously a dangerous proposition if you're already beaten up from previous encounters.

By solving the mystery of the blood bulls, you can do this bypass the barracks and the captain's key. Enter the chapel in front of the barracks, evade or neutralize guards as needed. There are two doors of the chapel; the one on the right usually has a guard sitting by the fireplace, who won't notice you as long as you remain silent.

The guard pattern will be different depending on whether you enter the chapel on your first visit to Castel Sant'Angelo at night, or whether you return the next day. At night there are a larger number of Blackshirts in the chapel, but during the day there are fewer but better equipped soldiers, including an officer who can use his alarm whistle to call for reinforcements.

Enter the room on the right and take Russo's note from the table. It alludes to a secret compartment next to a fireplace, starting the mystery of Bulls Of Blood.

How to solve the mystery of the blood bulls

Once you have Russo's note, go to the room to the left of the chapelcutting through the central room or going outside and around to the other door. Unless you've already cleared out the guards' chapel, it's better to go out so you can throw bottles from nearby crates to distract and separate the guards.

Once the coast is clear, take the paper and map from the desk. Now that you have all the mystery notes except one, look to the right; near the fireplace there are two paintings of bulls. Rotate both 180 degrees so that the red bull, the symbol of House Borgia, is at the top.

As history buffs and Assassin's Creed fans know that the Borgias were Spanish nobles who used their wealth and influence to take control of the Vatican in the early 1500s.

Once both paintings are turned, a a secret passage will open between them. Inside is an ancient letter written by Cesare Borgia in the 16th century – the final mysterious note in this puzzle – and a flight of stairs leading to the roof, where a chest containing 80 lire awaits as an extra reward.
