In Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, players have the chance to uncover a **secret Underground Boxing Ring** located in Vatican City. Access to this Boxing Ring is granted only after players obtain a hidden Blackshirt disguise found nearby. However, players must advance through the main narrative before they can pursue this particular quest.
Participating in the Underground Boxing Ring enables players to earn prize money, which can either be saved or traded for various rewards. These rewards range from books designed to **enhance Indy’s combat skills, expand his inventory, and increase his health**. Players are encouraged to conquer the Underground Boxing Ring in Vatican City before proceeding to the final stages of the Stolen Cat Mummy questline.
Finding the Underground Boxing Ring in the Vatican
Hidden Entrance
To kick off the quest for the Underground Boxing Ring, your first task is to pinpoint its location. Begin at the entrance courtyard just after exiting the Apostolic Library. When you reach the fountain to the right of the fast travel sign, veer right toward a set of doors situated next to a fascist outpost. Proceed through these doors to access the Vatican Gardens area.
To enter the military encampment in the main courtyard, you must wear a Blackshirt Uniform.
Once in the Vatican Gardens area, follow the left path until you come across a **doorway covered in ivy**. Enter this entrance and descend the stairs, where you will find the entrance to the Underground Boxing Ring. Indy will not be permitted entry without the right disguise, which means locating a Blackshirt Uniform is essential.
Locating a Blackshirt Uniform
Unavailable Until Meeting Gina
To acquire the Blackshirt Uniform, you must have already reached the Tomb of the Warrior Giant and escaped from the Necropolis Catacombs. Completing this task will initiate a cutscene featuring Indy and a spy named Gina on a balcony, which then allows you to pursue the Blackshirt uniform. After the scene concludes, take the zipline from the balcony’s right side to reach a barbed wire fence containing a hole.
Carefully squeeze through the hole to **overlook a concealed area guarded by several fascists**. Hang from the ledge, drop down, and defeat the guards to obtain the Blackshirt Uniform, which is necessary to continue with the Underground Boxing Ring quest. While handling the guards, it’s advisable not to use firearms; instead, utilize improvised weapons or your whip, as this method is typically more effective. Once you’ve secured the Blackshirt Uniform, head back to the previously mentioned hidden door, and you will be allowed entry to join the boxing matches.
Compete in the Boxing Ring
Win Three Rounds
To complete the quest successfully, you must defeat all three opponents in the boxing ring to earn prize money. **Utilize food items** to boost Indy’s stamina so he doesn’t tire during fights, leaving him vulnerable. Mastering the art of parrying is crucial as it helps conserve stamina while creating openings for counterattacks. If you’re struggling with the unarmed combat mechanics, consider lowering the difficulty level in the Options menu to lessen the damage taken from your opponents.

Prizes from the Vatican Underground Boxing Ring |
|
|---|---|
|
Survival Book – Hardboiled I (720 ₤) |
Boost your defense by merging two health bars into one. |
|
Packing – Sawbones I (400 ₤) |
Increases your bandage inventory capacity by one. |
After winning all three boxing matches, Indy should have enough prize money to buy at least one of the books as a reward. With thorough exploration, you might have enough to secure both books, but you can always return to earn more funds. For your first purchase, **I recommend choosing the Hardboiled I book**, as a larger health pool is more beneficial than an added bandage slot. Nevertheless, both upgrades are worthwhile, so ensure you acquire them before departing from Vatican City in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
