    After the scene, run back and forth in the cage to escape and squeeze through the door to the left to light a lantern.
  18. 18
    Return to the previous room and grab the small mesh cage with another child inside.
  19. 19
    Pull the cage beneath the lever to the right. Grab onto the lever to open the door and swing back and forth to release yourself closer to the door before it shuts.
  20. 20
    When the door closes, climb the metal gate over the door to the level above and back jump to solid ground. Light the candle by the tub.

    Crawl through the vent and drop into the butcher's area. Quietly sneak behind him and hide inside the metal cage on the right.

    Stay hidden until the butcher moves away, then climb over the cage, drop off the other side, and crawl through the opening by the door.

    At the top of the cabinet, push another box of alphabet blocks out of the way to enter more vents and follow them right.

    Push through the door. A grandfather clock will fall over, drawing the butcher's attention. Quickly run a bit to the right and crouch on the carpet to remain undetected.
