To find \u201cFather and Son\u201d at all, you must complete the Fieldwork mission \u201cA Nun in Trouble.\u201d You automatically start this after your first meeting with Gina. The quest requires you to sneak into Vatican City\u2019s museum via the Blackshirts\u2019 campsite, then rescue Gina\u2019s friend Giuliana from the top of the Borgia Tower.<\/p>\n

As part of your reward for completing \u201cA Nun in Trouble,\u201d you\u2019ll receive Giuliana\u2019s Key, which also begins the \u201cFather and Son\u201d Mystery mission. As Giuliana tells you, this opens a nearby door in the Borgia Tower, as seen on your in-game map below.<\/p>\n

At first, this looks like it might just be a shortcut, as the door leads to a balcony with a zipline that you can use to get back to the street. You\u2019ll land directly outside the Fountain of Confession, ready to continue the main story.<\/p>\n

However, there\u2019s a second locked door near the zipline which holds the actual mystery. Open it with Giuliana\u2019s Key to find a storage room where you\u2019ll find a sleeping dog, a lazy cat, a locked safe, a Bandage, and piles of disorganized documents. One of those documents is a new Adventure Book that teaches the Throttle skill, which enables you to launch stealth takedowns at range with Indy\u2019s whip.<\/p>\n

To solve this Mystery, you need to get into the safe. First, open the drawer in the table in the center of the room to find the Italian Poem. The poem is irrelevant, but someone has circled eight of its letters: I, R, I, A, T, A, S, O.<\/p>\n

Second, open the drawer under the nearby typewriter to find a second document, the Polybius Square Diagram. This provides a cipher for the letters from the Italian Poem, albeit one that doesn\u2019t see a lot of use in video games.<\/p>\n

In practice, the major stumbling block on \u201cFather and Son\u201d comes from the cursive writing on the Poem. It\u2019s easy to mistake the final \u201cO\u201d for an \u201cA,\u201d which screws up the entire code.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When run through the Diagram, the circled letters become a 4-digit code:<\/p>\n

\n

I + R = 5
I + A = 8
T + A = 7
S + O = 3<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The code for the safe is 5873<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Open it to find the Siwa Photograph, Junior Report, Office Photograph, and Senior Report. This gives you 60 Adventure Points for finding all 4 notes, and another 100 for completing \u201cFather and Son.\u201d<\/p>\n
