Walkthrough
  1. 1

    Use the elevator to get to the next room.
  4. 4
    Down here, run to the other elevator and insert the battery into the slot.
  5. 5
    Go up the elevator; you will be taken to the area outside the doors leading to the mansion.
  6. 6
    Go back to the gates and open them.
  7. 7
    Go to the Crank Slot and use the Crank in this area.

    The pool will refill with water.
  9. 9
    To get around this, go back through the gates and go back down the elevator in this area.

    Down here, since the waterfall is now gone, use the ladder next to the elevator to get to the Underground.
Tips
  • Be aware of snakes falling from trees in the pool area.
