Scratches Hints
Where can I get a heavy nail?
1 of 7: Start your search in the balcony area. The balcony is arrived at by going up the spiral staircase immediately to your right, after entering the chapel.
2 of 7: Other than the view of the inside of the chapel, there is only one reason for going up to the balcony. Look around for a small wooden cabinet, sitting on the floor of the balcony.
3 of 7: Did you find anything inside the cabinet? There's more than just priest's vestments and utensils here.
4 of 7: Look in the drawer at the top of the cabinet.
5 of 7: A Holy Bible! What could that be used for?
6 of 7: Besides reading, it can make a very good hiding place for something.
7 of 7: Continue clicking on the open Bible, turning the pages, until you come to the hidden nail. Click on the heavy nail to add it to inventory.
