As a seasoned Indiana Jones enthusiast who’s navigated countless tombs and crypts, I must say, The Great Circle’s Bulls of Blood puzzle left me both intrigued and impressed!

One of the first challenges players run into is the Bulls of Blood puzzle, hidden in the historic halls of Castel Sant’Angelo. Here’s how you can solve it:

How To Solve the Bulls of Blood Puzzle

The “Blood Bull Riddle” requires deciphering mysterious messages and altering your environment to uncover a hidden pathway.

Head over to the Angel Courtyard at Castel Sant’Angelo for the puzzle.

As you wander, you’ll come across a courtyard patrolled by a guard and his dog.

To maintain a low profile, stick to the right side of the area as you move around. You’re free to enter the building using any of the available entrances.

In the room, you’ll find a sleeping guard seated in a chair. Creep up on him without making a sound, and deal with him discreetly, then scan the table nearby for any clues or hints.

This table is home to several essential items, including notes that give hints about the solution:

  • Russo’s Note
  • Red Bulls Card
  • Angel Courtyard Map

The hints point towards the solution being found in the same area, particularly close to the fireplace surrounded by artwork depicting two bulls on either side.

Although the hints may seem vague, they guide you toward the next step in solving the puzzle.

Glance towards the fireplace area in the room, notice the spot flanked by two grand paintings depicting bulls, with a wall reminiscent of murals on either side.

The wall space between the paintings looks like a door, like a secret passage behind it.

Following your encounter with the bull paintings, adjust their positions so they are facing each other. In certain instances, ensure that the Red Bulls are oriented with their upper side visible.

If the paintings are properly aligned, the mural will subtly adjust, exposing a concealed entrance. Venture through this clandestine passageway to reach your next destination.

Stepping into the newly revealed area provides several rewards. Inside, you’ll find:

  • Cesare Borgia’s Letter
  • 100 Adventure Points
  • Treasure Chest

As you explore the hidden chamber, you stumble upon a switch. Activating the switch unveils a corridor leading out onto a balcony.

By using this shortcut, you can bypass the Captain’s Key and navigate around certain obstacles smoothly, ensuring uninterrupted progress.

Additionally, there’s another mechanism that operates a gate, allowing you to choose an alternative path without alarming additional security personnel.
