Decode the note | Chapter 3 - Florence, Italy Secret Files 3 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Inside the cylinder Nina will find a Leonardo's diary page. It is coded so you have to decode it.

To do it, go to the door and take the walking stick from the jug. Examine it. It was quite interesting decorated because it is covered with some symbols.

Move to the table and take red paint pot from it. Put the walking stick inside.

Then "print" the symbols carved on the walking stick on the empty canvas at the left corner of the room. It turns out that this is a key to the code - each alphabet letter is assigned to the mysterious symbol.

Compare a coded message from the Leonardo's diary with the symbols on the canvas. Nina will decode the note: Greek safely concealed in the painting of The Magnificent.

Of course it informs about the place where Archimedes' scroll is hidden. But who is "The Magnificent"?

In order to find it out, take the book lying on the stool to the left from the door. This is chronicle of the de Medici family, with nicknames of all its members. Compare the decoded note with the chronicle. Nina will find out the Lorenzo de Medici was called "The Magnificent". This is the man, to whom Leonardo just gave "Madonna Benois" painting, in which he probably hid the Archimedes' scroll.
