- 12Head up the escalators to 3F and grab the COOKED KEY from the dog through the right double doors.
- 13Head back to 2F, take a left, and enter the shop at the end of the hall to get the WALNUT.
- 14Head through the other door and enter the easternmost room in this hall, Café Turn Mill, at the short fork using the COOKED KEY.

- 16Exit through the other door, run ahead, and enter Helen's Bakery at the southeast.
- 17Get the DETERGENT (Normal/Hard Riddle Level only) on the cart and exit through the other door.
- 18Turn off the fan at the end of the hall (Normal/Hard Riddle Level only) and pass through the door.
- 19Combine and use the BLEACH and DETERGENT on the bucket by the door (Normal/Hard Riddle Level only; skip this and the next step on Easy).

- 26Use the MOONSTONE to pass through the locked door and go down the long ladder.
- 27Use the Handgun to kill the Split Worm, making sure to dodge its attacks. Hold L2 to see which hole it is coming from next and shoot it when it opens its protective head cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects). Only shoot it two or three times when it emerges so it doesn't retreat, then dodge its attacks and continue firing to minimize your time. It should die after about 15-20 shots on Normal.
- 28Head west under the shutter and through the next set of doors.
