Scratches Hints
Where can I find a rope?
1 of 9: Remember the locked room behind the attic stairs?
2 of 9: The rope isn't in that room (the one with the paintings), but in the adjacent room.
3 of 9: There is a rope tied to a beam on the ceiling.
4 of 9: You will need to get close to where the rope is tied to the beam, in order to get a good length of rope.
5 of 9: You can climb up closer, using the same ladder that you used to access the items on the shelf.
6 of 9: When you climbed up to see the contents of the shelf, you climbed up the ladder two times. To access the rope, you will only need to climb up once. When you climb up once, you will be staring up at the spot where the rope is tied to the beam on the ceiling.
