lower part of the crypt by the stairs. Attach the barbwire to the
mirror
in the inventory. Now place the mirror on the candle holder at the
right

the
plaque by the baby coffin. The 'R' should give you a clue. If you need

ring attached to a tile on the floor. Use the crowbar on it to open it.
That's it for now. Head up the spiral staircase by the door. Examine
the
little cabinet and open it. Open the drawer on top and look inside the
bible.
Keep turning the pages to reveal a nail, grab it and go back down
behind the
alter. Place the nail inside the hole where Christ feet is located. You
should see a hole on his feet. Once the nail is in place use the
crowbar on
the INRI sign above the Christ statue. This will reveal the secret
downstairs
area. Select the hole to go down. Light the candle on the shelf with
your
matches to brighten the area. Examine the table and then grab the
branch.
Go back to the house and call Jerry.
After the chat head outside and look in the mailbox. Read the new

to
receive several messages. Four clicks or so to read them all.
The time will now be 4pm. We have to now look for the body in the
garden.
Head to the dirt path next to the house. You should see the shadow of
the
tower beaming on the ground. Use the shovel and dig at the middle of
the
shadow there to uncover the body. You have to dig around the base where
the
pole meets the round part of the tower. Take out her tooth with the
pliers
and go to the kitchen.
Now we have to grind the tooth and claw inside the grinder on the
table.
Press the lid on top and put each item inside separately. Collect it
from
the bottom opening. After you grinded both head upstairs to the third
floor.
Go to the unfinished bathroom and look around the cinder blocks on the
left.
You will find a metal rod for the stove in the next room. Go to the
stove
to cook the ingredients. First place the small metal rod on the stove.
In
your inventory mix the grinded up stuff together by clicking one on top
of
the other. Now mix in the leaves with it. Select the lid and place it
on the
stove. Put the leaves on top of it and use your last match to cook it.
