    The Mansion Study

    Mansion StudyJupiter Key

    Kick down the ladder in the Mansion Study to retrieve the Jupiter Key. It opens the Room of Truth, a puzzle room that gates progress deeper into the mansion.

  1. 2

    The Mansion Library

    Mansion LibraryCathedral Secrets, Wiseman's Crafts, Occult Philosophy

    Collect the three books scattered around the Mansion Library and match each one to its correct bookcase. Getting all three right opens the Cinema Room, tucked away as an optional detour.

  1. 3

    The Torture Chamber & Venus Key

    Push into the Torture Chamber and deal with the exorcised corpse found there to claim the Venus Key. It opens the Mandragora Garden.

  1. 4

    The Mandragora Garden & the Crypt

    Mandragora GardenWhite Mandragora

    In the Mandragora Garden, pull the White Mandragora and hand it to the stone hand nearby to open the Crypt. Neither Daniella nor Debilitas can follow you in here, which makes it a safe spot to rest and reorganize your inventory.

  1. 5

    Into the Underground Cavern

    Underground Cavern pipeWooden Miniature

    Beyond the Crypt, the path drops into the Underground Cavern. Fish the Wooden Miniature out of a pipe here — you'll need it at the Water Tower shortly.

  1. 6

    Riccardo's Pursuit Begins

    Riccardo, the castle's hooded, gun-carrying butler, starts actively chasing Fiona through the Underground Cavern. His attacks aim squarely for a grab rather than a straightforward hit — if he catches you, expect a scripted struggle rather than simple damage, so prioritize distance and stuns over trading blows.

  1. 7

    Setting Up the Water Tower Diorama

    Reach the Water Tower and use the Wooden Miniature on its Diorama machine. This arms the mechanism you'll need for the fight ahead — Riccardo can't be beaten through damage alone, so this setup step isn't optional.

Riccardo Turns Invisible

During this pursuit Riccardo periodically turns fully invisible. Rely on Hewie's growl and the sound of footsteps to track him rather than your eyes.

  1. 8

    Boss Fight: Riccardo

    Riccardo

    Boss · Hard

    Riccardo can't be defeated through direct combat — the fight is a positioning puzzle. Force him against the tower's weakened walls, then let Hewie finish the job through the exposed Diorama mechanism below.

    Attacks
    • A grab attack aimed at pinning Fiona down
    • Turns invisible for stretches of the chase
    • Fires his gun at range
    Strategy
    • Kick him into the three weak walls surrounding the Water Tower to expose the Diorama mechanism
    • Once exposed, have Hewie shove him through the opening rather than fighting head-on
    • Beat him down first for a chance at the Silver Boots drop
