Upon arrival at the Vatican, follow the waypoint marked ‘A Mystery Begins’, which will guide you to the west courtyard of the Vatican Gardens where you’ll meet Father Ricci and his parrot, Pio. Following this encounter, the parrot will lead players up some scaffolding using Indy’s whip, and they can then grab Ricci’s Casina Key from a windowsill beneath a Research Note within an open window.
