Updating Indy's health at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is one of the most important goals for many new players. This latest publication from Bethesda Softworks completely changed the way one would look at health and other skill upgrade systems. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle puts you at the forefront of the choices Indiana Jones makes, literally putting them in their place and throwing his whip at them. Starting players off in Vatican City is an excellent mix of action, adventure, and stealth that allows you to hone your skills to explore in more rewarding ways.
The health system is a little complicated at first, as it works based on a different system of requirements than you normally see. Many of the skills trust certain books in Indiana Jones and the Great Circlewhich can be found all over the world to be updatedusually located in more obscure areas or which costs money to obtain. Still, the Health and Stamina system works differently than others.
How health and stamina upgrade works
Find medicine bottles
In Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Health and stamina upgrades depend exclusively on books that can be purchased in Vatican City. You can go to Valéria, the nun who works at the town's pharmacy.
In Valeria you will receive the quest “A medicine for everyone”, which will allow you to receive a free stamina or health upgrade after finding all the medicine bottles scattered around the city. You will then be rewarded with other mysteries and quests. You must collect these bottles and complete this quest before the main story takes them out of the Vatican City area..
Each book costs five bottles of medicinewith three distinct level upgrades for health and stamina. The Moxie and Shaping Up books each cost a lot of adventure points to redeem, with the first of each book requiring 300 points to redeem.
