All Faded Plaque puzzle solutions in Diablo 4

With the transition to a more open-world format for Diablo 4, there are far more things to discover as you travel across Sanctuary. In addition to the normal monsters, quests, and World Events, there are plenty of more mysterious locations to discover. Perhaps the most perplexing thing you will stumble upon is the collection of Faded Plaques. These shrines are small puzzles, but aside from a slight clue, they are very tricky to solve. If you want to know how to solve all the Faded Plaque puzzles in Diablo 4 for some easy rewards, here’s how to do it.

Each Faded Plaque has a small line to clue you in on what you need to do to solve them. Depending on which clue you get, solving it will give you a different reward. Each one requires you to perform a specific emote in front of the shrine, so you can complete all of them as soon as you find them. To perform an emote, you need to press up on the D-pad if you’re playing on console, or press the key on PC to bring up the emote wheel — just remember that not all emotes are visible at once so you may need to tab over to the other wheels to find the one you need. You can also customize which emotes are available on your primary wheel to put the ones you like or use most front and center.

All Lost Artifacts of Europe locations in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Indiana Jones journaling by a statue in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Just like a passionate archeologist, none of us can resist finding any collectibles a game like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle throws at us. While things like Notes can feel overwhelming, others like Medicine Bottles and the Lost Artifacts of Europe feel far more achievable. Both of those examples are available in Vatican City, but there are just five artifacts in total to collect. They are completely optional, but Indie wouldn't be able to sleep at night until he got them all back to their rightful place. These artifacts are hidden very well, so let's follow the clues and find them all.
All Lost Artifacts of Europe locations
You will need to get involved in many sidequests to reach specific areas housing Lost Artifacts in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which we will note as we go. This means just knowing where the objects are on the map by purchasing the Vatican Notes book doesn't allow you to run straight from one to the other as soon as you're let loose in the city.

Here is a map with all the locations to use as a guide.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is just as much an adventure about punching Nazis as it is solving ancient puzzles. After the introductory levels, one of the first puzzles the game presents you that will really test your attention to detail is the Sacred Wounds puzzle while you're tracking down the Stolen Cat Mummy in the Vatican. This puzzle is framed around Jesus, but you don't need to be a religious scholar to figure out what to do. Still, there are some logical leaps here that might be hard to follow. Instead, follow this guide to walk you through solving this puzzle.
How to solve the Sacred Wounds puzzle
The Sacred Wounds puzzle begins when you enter a chamber inside the Tower of Nicholas V after pouring wine into a bowl to uncover a secret path. Once below, the real test begins.

The main elements of this puzzle revolve around the mural of Jesus, various wine cups, and numbered levers.
