Scratches Hints
Where can I find an oil can?
1 of 4: You won't have access to it until you've managed to get inside the locked door behind the attic stairs.
2 of 4: Once you have access to the locked room, you also have access to an adjacent room. The adjacent room holds the oil that you will need.
3 of 4: When you enter the adjacent room for the first time (from the room with the paintings), the oil can is on the shelf on the far side of the room.
4 of 4: Climb the ladder in front of the shelf to collect the oil can from the shelf.
