Faust: The Seven Games of the Soul Hints

How can I get into the cabinet above the bed?

  • 1 of 9: Walk onto the bed and look at the various things surrounding the bed.
  • 2 of 9: Examine the little statuette and turn the crank handle.
  • 3 of 9: Before the cabinet front can be opened, a secret compartment above the bed must be lowered.
  • 4 of 9: The mermaid bed posts control the compartment above.
  • 5 of 9: Their bellybuttons are marked with a tiny red X.  When you press on the X, the navel lights up.
  • 6 of 9: What does the compass read?
  • 7 of 9: The needle points NW.  Therefore, start by pressing the navel on the mermaid in the NW position (headboard left side).
  • 8 of 9: Begin with the NW mermaid and work around counter-clockwise until you have pressed 7.
  • 9 of 9: Now that the ceiling has lowered, you can use the key on the bed's front top cabinet.
