Scratches Hints
Where can I get this information?
1 of 5: Only one person can accurately provide that level of detail -- and that's James Blackwood. Since you have no direct contact with James Blackwood, you'll need to rely on letters and notes that he has made, and left behind.
2 of 5: While there are many letters and documents that talk about the African tribe, and the various items in the gallery, there is one that is of utmost importance in describing the details of the curse.
3 of 5: This document is in one of the most secret areas of the mansion grounds.
4 of 5: You will need to visit -- and solve all of the various puzzles in -- the chapel, before you will have the information that you require.
5 of 5: Once you have visited the secret room in the chapel, you should have read one of the two letters found there, written by James Blackwood. In it, he describes -- in great detail -- the method of removing the curse.
