▶︎ Henrietta's Map Location and How to Use
2
Use Henrietta's map to find the treasure.
Henrietta's treasure map leads to Henrietta's Hideaway in the south area of Manor Cape.

Enter the door to the basement via the staircase on the east side of the hideaway. You can either sneak past or knock out the Ashwinder soldiers patrolling the hideaway.
2a Inside Henrietta's Hideaway, there's a statue to the north. Light it with Incendio. It will then rotate to reveal a block. Use Accio to bring the block to the pedestal in the east.
2b Ignite the block you brought over with fire using Incendio, then freeze the block beside it with Glacius. The door behind them will then open.
2c Head through the door and defeat the Ashwinders surrounding the Hippogriff statue.
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.
2e After putting out the right flames, a wall will open up behind the Hippogriff statue. Open the treasure chest there to complete the quest.

Which Torches to Light at the Hippogriff Statue?
