    In the hub hallway, you can use a vine arrow on the wooden surrounds of the windows above to access Floor 2 early, but it's not recommended due to limited vine arrows.

    Go through the double doors into the north-west Storage room. Find 2 CANDLESTICKS (680/0/0|680), a GOLD CUP (705/0/0|705) by the stairs, another GOLD CUP on crates (730/0/0|730), and another GOLD CUP behind the sofa (755/0/0|755).
