Artifact 6 – Sancta Helena’s Church

Treasure Hoard Map


Visit Sancta Helena’s Church in Colcestre to find the Treasure Hoard Map. While the map is high up in the church tower, you’ll face a locked door that needs a key to progress.

Steps to obtain the map:

  • Outside the church at ground level, find a movable shelf.
  • Move it to reveal a smashed window, crawl inside, and grab the key.
  • Use the key to unlock the church door. Inside, move a second shelf to climb up to the first ladder.
  • On the next level, shoot the hanging ladder down to reach the top. Pick up the Treasure Hoard Map to complete this puzzle.

Here’s where you can find the treasure.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
