1. Get a torch
First thing first, you need a Torch to find your way in some dark pathways. You can find it either in the Kitchen or in the Study, by investigating the Mysterious Fireplace you find in the room.
Note that your torch has a 2 hours lifetime before vanishing, and that there's a 30 minutes cooldown on the Mysterious Fireplace (shared between the one in Kitchen and the one in the Study).

2. Finding the dark pathways
Helen's Bedroom is located in one of the towers but it's locked, so instead of rushing there, you must find the key. The torch is required to find your way in some dark pathways located in the basement. As you can see on the map, many ways are available; you'll find below the fastest way to go there from the kitchen or from the study.

3. Getting the key to Helen's Bedroom
Now you are at this junction, you'll have some exploration in the dark to do before being able to reuse the compass again to navigate. Each exploration takes a couple of minutes to be completed. After finding your way to a junction in the dark pathways, enter the Storage Room and climb the stairs to reach the Secret Passage.
Path
- • Explore the Dark Pathway (Stone) North-West
- • Explore the Dark Pathway (Stone) East
- • Explore the Pathway (Stone) East
- • Navigate to: S - Up - N
Once in the Helen's Study, investigating the different bookshelves and especially the Bookshelf (Wood) IV reveals that the Helen's Diary you found in Berlin perfectly fits and makes a Tiny Key (Silver Gray) fall from a hidden compartment! Now you can access the bedroom!
4. Making your way to the bedroom
Actually, you are already very close to your final destination. Use a secret path to reach the Hallway, then go in the Study and investigate once again the Bookshelf (Wood) IV to start exploring a secret path during a few minutes.
Path from Helen's Study
- • Navigate to: S - SE - N
- • Inspect the Bookshelf (Wood) IV
- • Navigate to: Up
After climbing twice the Tower Staircase you arrive in the Tower. Open the door to the Bedroom of Helen (it might be a very heavy door since it can take a couple of minutes to enter or to leave the room!) and interact with the Statue (Marble) Helen of Troy to get the Found True Beauty achievement and a Tiara (silver) (Silver) in your inventory. As the Tiny Key vanished when entering the room, make sure to fully explore the room before leaving it.
Your quest is now over and you can go back to the civilisation. By exploring all the rooms, you'll see that it's also possible to find some jewellery in the castle, but nothing fancy. The map shows you the content of each room.
