Scratches Hints

I've done everything in the Crypt and the Chapel. What else should I do?

  • 1 of 14: Once you have completed the puzzles in The Greenhouse, The Crypt, The Study, and The Chapel, you'll need to proceed indoors to complete some small tasks there.  Note: There are several small tasks listed in this hint.  You will need to complete them all before you can progress further.
  • 2 of 14: It's been a while since you've discussed your adventures with Jerry -- this would definitely be a good time to give him a call.
