In the heart of Vatican City, amidst the shadows of the Tower of Nicholas V, a mysterious feline known as Signor Smushki has gone missing – and only Indiana Jones can capture its elusive image. Embark on the charming sidequest “A Free Spirit” in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, where your adventure takes a surprising detour from relic hunting to tracking down this enigmatic black cat perched on the rooftops. Armed with a camera and your wits, uncover the secret spots where Signor Smushki and other hidden cats lounge, earning valuable Adventure Points along the way.
How to start the ’A Free Spirit’ mystery
To start the “A Free Spirit” mystery in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, head to the Tower of Nicholas V in Vatican City. Across the street from the tower entrance, you’ll find a bulletin board with a Missing Cat Flyer pinned to it. Interact with this flyer to begin the quest, which involves finding and photographing a missing cat named Signor Smushki. Before starting, make sure to obtain the camera from Ernesto inside the Vatican Post Office, as it is essential for taking the required photo. Once you have the flyer and camera, you can begin your search for the cat near the rooftops around the Tower of Nicholas V.
To start “A Free Spirit,” head over to the Tower of Nicholas V – the same place you go for the Sacred Wounds puzzle. Across the street from the entrance, there’s a bulletin board on the wall.
Pick up the flyer on the left side to start the mystery.
Where to find the black cat, Signor Smushki
To find the black cat Signor Smushki in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, start by picking up the missing cat flyer from the bulletin board opposite the Tower of Nicholas V in the Vatican. The flyer initiates the “A Free Spirit” mystery and reveals that Signor Smushki, a black cat with a tuft of white fur on his chest, was last seen near the tower. After obtaining the camera from Ernesto inside the Vatican Post Office, head into the Tower of Nicholas V and climb up using the whip to reach the rooftops. Cross the rooftops near the garden area and look for Signor Smushki sitting calmly near a wall between two windows. Since the cat does not move, you can easily photograph him to complete the quest. Finally, return to the bulletin board to post the photo and earn 100 Adventure Points.
They flyer suggests that Signor Smushki is up on the roof of Nicholas’ tower, but that’s not quite true.
Head into the tower and then into the center room (you passed through here on your way to the Underworld). Look at the balcony above you for place you can whip up to and climb. On the second level, look above you for another whipable climbing spot.
When you climb through the window, you’ll be on some scaffolding. Turn left and climb up onto the nearby roofs. Continue along and you’ll pass a white cat (snap a picture to earn some extra Adventure Points).
From the white cat, turn right and cross the narrow rooftop. At the far side, turn left to cross another narrow roof. You’ll find Signor Smushki against the wall at the other end.
Snap a picture and then return to the bulletin board to complete the “A Free Spirit” mystery.

Where exactly is Signor Smushki hiding in the Vatican rooftops
Signor Smushki, the elusive black cat with a tuft of white fur on his chest, is hiding on the rooftops above the garden area leading to the Vatican Museum in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. To find him, start from the Tower of Nicholas V and navigate through the rooftops past the white cat near a trio of tiny chimneys. From there, turn right across a narrow rooftop, then left across another narrow roof. At the far wall above the entrance to Belvedere Courtyard, you will spot Signor Smushki resting near the wall between two windows. Snap his photo to complete the quest and earn 100 Adventure Points.
What specific rooftop section near the Belvedere Courtyard does Signor Smushki hide in
Signor Smushki hides on a narrow rooftop section near the Belvedere Courtyard, specifically at the far wall above the entrance to the courtyard. After climbing scaffolding from the garden area and navigating the rooftops past other cats, you will find him sitting near the wall between two windows on this rooftop. This spot is accessible by crossing a narrow roof to the right from the white cat near a trio of tiny chimneys, then turning left across another slim roof to reach the wall where Signor Smushki rests.
