Ah, but there is a second flight of stair leading to a different second floor. I know that sounds confusing. You enter and to you immidiate right there is a flight of stairs. The helm in NOT up there. Further along, still on your right hand, there is a bar. Go to the right down that way. As you get past the bar you will find a different set of stairs on your left hand. Go up these. The helm is behind the painting farthest from the stairs. Beware of the trap.
I trust you have visited Quenash to get the Cloak no?
