Difficulty level: Medium

Start location: Talk to Veronica at gates of Draynor Manor.

NPC: Veronica, Ernest, Professor



1: Veronica

Talk to Veronica at gates of Draynor Manor. She wants you to find her fiancé Ernest. Her fiancee went into the big spooky manor house to ask for directions. An hour had passed and he still had not yet returned.

2:Ernest

Enter the Manor to the north of Veronica and climb the stairs, at the main staircase turn left to find a smaller spiral staircase, climb this. Talk to Professor Oddenstein who will tell you that Ernest has been turned into a chicken as part of his experiments. Demand that the Professor turn Ernest back immediately, he will tell you it is more complicated than that as the machine is missing some parts. You will then offer to find the parts he requires: the pressure gauge, a rubber tube and his oil can.

3: Rubber Tube and Pressure Gauge

Climb one flight of stairs to the first floor (second floor for Americans) and pick up the fish food in the room south of the stairs. Then descend to the entrance level. First you should take the poison from the room adjoining the Witch's room in the northwest corner of the manor. Use the poison you find here on the fish food to make poisoned fish food. Now walk to the east end of the mansion, here you should find a spade (take it) and a back door. This back door is the only way of leaving the mansion. Make sure you have your poisoned fish food and a spade and head outside.

Walk around the manor to the western side where you will see a compost heap. Search this heap to find a key (you need a spade). Now continue to the fountain in the southwest corner of the gardens. Use your poisoned fish food on the fountain then search it to find a pressure gauge.

Now enter the mansion again by the front doors. To the north of the stairs you will see a small room with a locked door. On the floor of the room there is a rubber hose guarded by a level 22 skeleton. Use your key to open the door. You do not have to fight the skeleton; you can just run in, grab the hose and run out.

4: Oil Can

Search the bookcase in the room with the red round table on the ground floor and you will find a secret entrance to the next room. Go down the ladders. You need to pull the right levers here to get the Oil can. If you really want to ruin the fun, here's the right combination:

* Pull D. Go through the southwestern door then go through the southern door.
* Pull A, Pull B. Go through the northwestern door then the western door then the northern door.
