Vatican

Returning to the walls of the Vatican, you will notice Archie sitting on the bench. Ask him what he is doing here and try to steal a bottle of denatured alcohol from him. Naturally, the tramp will not allow you to take it away and will offer to exchange methylated spirits for some useful item from your inventory. But since you don't have a suitable item, leave Archie alone and move on.
From the main gate, guarded by two guards, turn left and rummage through the garbage can. In it you will find half a bottle of champagne. Offer this find to Archie and he will gladly exchange champagne for denatured alcohol.
Go back to the trash can, pour the denatured alcohol into it and set it on fire with Alfonso's lighter. After the tank is engulfed in flames, George and Niko will automatically hide around the corner. See how the guards are trying to put out the fire in a panic. Since they left the gate unattended, you have the opportunity to enter the territory of the waffle factory unnoticed.
In the factory building, go through the previously locked door, behind which you will find another waffle machine. The process is watched by none other than Sister Angelica. While Niko is talking to the nun tete-a-tete, look around the room. Pay attention to two dough mixers and a handful of golden dust scattered nearby. Then ask Sister Angelica where the monatomic gold came from here. While you are talking with the nun, Cardinal Ginelli will enter the factory. Leave Sister Angelica alone and follow the cardinal.
Exit through the side door and follow the cardinal into the monastery garden. Here you will have to stop, because the area is patrolled by five monks with lanterns. Study the patrol route of the nearest monk and, as soon as right moment, follow him straight to the front door of the monastery. Come inside.
Once in the monastery, go straight down the corridor until you see the ajar door to Father Devlin's office. Here you will finally learn the whole truth about the conspiracy, about the ark and about true purpose monatomic gold. At the end of the conversation, George, as always, will be rewarded with a ringing slap in the face and sent to a deep knockout.
After a few minutes, Mark will wake you up and say that Niko was dragged into the dungeon under the monastery. Approach the dying Cardinal Ginelli and take another manuscript from him. After studying it, go out into the corridor and go to the hatch. Ask Mark to hold the hatch while you use the golf club on the lock. After breaking it, open the hatch and go downstairs, where another puzzle awaits you.
Before you are two statues of angels. Under each of them is an hourglass, which must be rotated as it is drawn in the picture in the office of Cardinal Ginelli. Approach any of the angels and turn the left clock sand down. Right - sand to the right. Then climb onto the statue and turn the angel's head. If you hear a click after that, then you did everything right. With the next angel, do the same procedure (location hourglass should be identical on both statues). After that, ask Mark to hold the angel's head in a turned position and go down the stairs that appear in the floor to the dungeon.
Once in the catacombs, go along the corridor until you run into a massive door. Use the fireproof blanket to unscrew the light bulb and return to the beginning of the corridor. Unscrew the protective panel of the switchboard with a knife. Then, armed with rubber gloves, disconnect one of the wires and head to the door. Insert the explosive into the ceiling instead of the light bulb and reconnect the wires in order to detonate the C4. Exit through the passage formed after the explosion.
Entering the room with columns, you will come face to face with armed monks. Fortunately, the cavalry, led by Mark and Mr. Spalacci, will arrive in time to help you. Yes, and Anna Maria will pull you right out from under the bullets. Talk to her and, after waiting for the firing to end, read the fourteen Latin verses engraved on each column. Having thus learned important things about the ark, ask Mark and Spalacci about their well-being. Make sure that they are all right and, together with Anna Maria, exit through the door.
Another puzzle awaits you in the next room. The clue to it is hidden in the upper right part of the manuscript. Having figured out what's what, arrange the three crosses as shown in the figure.

Another corridor and another puzzle. This time you need to go through the emblems depicted on the floor. Try not to make a mistake, otherwise George will be crushed by a huge boulder. To be safe to the end of the path, start at the second emblem on the left and take a step forward. Then two steps to the right and two more forward. Left. Forward. Two steps to the left and again two forward. Finally, take a couple of steps to the right and, without fear of being crushed, go forward. After this procedure, wait until Anna Maria joins you and move on.
Further you will see an abyss through which a narrow bridge leads. Carefully follow it to opposite side. As soon as George falls into the opened hatch, command Anna Maria to pull down the lever with the dagger. Then with a crescent and a lion. And finally, with the cross.
At the end of the last corridor for today, there is a statue supposedly by Jacques de Molay. Based on the clue in the manuscript, put the card in the statue's hand and set it on fire with the lighter. When the door opens, enter the cave where the ark is stored. But now he's not here. Moreover, the front door will slam shut and the room will begin to fill with clubs of poisonous gas. Run up to the pedestal on which the ark stood, and insert Anna Maria's rosary into the hole. Wait until the side door opens and exit towards the final cutscene of the game.
