You will get to the bedroom through the kitchen then thorough its balcony or through its main door. You can get to the kitchen in two ways, through the main hall or from the basement through the prison.

If you want to go through the prison then you need a key which the jailor has. You will find him on the first floor. Sit on the bench and he and a nearby soldier will start moving and then you will be able to kill them easily and get the key.

  • I must speak to Odo.
