2d
The Hippogriff Marks the Spot Step 2d
The Hippogriff statue has 8 torches surrounding it. Use Glacius to put out 4 of the fires, namely the flames northeast, southeast, northwest, and west.

You can also check Henrietta's map to see which flames to put out.
In the image, the fires marked with a O should be lit, and the ones marked with X should be put out.

After putting out the right flames, a wall will open up behind the Hippogriff statue. Open the treasure chest there to complete the quest.
