There are a total of 10 inscriptions in Vatican City; four of them are part of the main story. You get the camera during the story.
To take photos of all 10 inscriptions, you need some preparation and story progress. Play the story until you arrive in Gizeh and then go back. Technically, 1-2 missions before that are enough, but play that far to be on the safe side.
You also need to complete three fieldwork missions to open specific areas on the Vatican map. Here is the list and how to get the mission. (also in the video at the beginning)
- A Savage Discovery (Document on left side in a tent in Belvedere Courtyard)
- A Mad Priest (Letter on desk in Vatican Post Office)
- A Nun in Trouble (Automatically during Story)
After you have done all the preparation, you can finally start to collect all remaining inscriptions. In my video I do one continuous run to all 10 locations, so you see the entire path through the map. The reward (ancient relic) is also needed for another mission and achievement.
