Medicine Bottles in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle serve as an unconventional currency type that Indy can swipe from the fascists. While their purpose isn’t immediately clear, they become essential in the recurring “A Remedy for All Discovery” quest found in every region Indy explores. These collectibles can be traded to permanently enhance his constitution.

Indiana Jones And The Great Circle: Vatican Ancient Relics Location Guide
Here’s where to find the Vatican’s ancient relics for the Riddles Of The Ancients in Indiana Jones And The Great Circle.
The Vatican City introduces the first iteration of this quest and houses 15 Medicine Bottles dotted throughout the area. You’ll need to collect them all to trade at Valeria’s pharmacy and secure the Adventure Books that improve Indy’s health and stamina. Here’s where to find each one.
Completing A Date To Remember Mystery quest rewards you with the Vatican Medicine exploration guide, which shows the location of any remaining Medicine Bottle you have not collected.
How To Use The Vatican City Medicine Bottles
The “A Remedy For All” quest kicks off when you stumble upon your first Medicine Bottle, and a quick chat with the pharmacist Valeria reveals their purpose. She’ll mention a shortage of medicines and request you to bring her any Medicine Bottles you find.
Turning in these bottles lets you buy the first three Moxie and Shaping Up Adventure Books, which increases Indy’s stamina and health, respectively. The first book of each series costs five bottles, with each subsequent upgrade increasing by five more.
While the Medicine Bottles you’ll find in the Vatican won’t cover all six books, don’t fret; you’ll find plenty more in Gizeh later.
All Vatican City Medicine Bottle Locations
All 15 Medicine Bottles in Vatican City are scattered across the overworld, so you won’t need to descend into the underworld for this task. Most of them are found in areas patrolled by Blackshirts, so be cautious. If you snag one in their presence, they’ll raise the alarm. Always ensure the coast is clear before making your move.
