Quick links to each step of the guide
Get to Miles Curd's mansion
Talk to the Old Shrew Lady. Go through the graveyard and approach the jack-o'-lantern to get the Kiss Kiss Pistol.
Schematic
Enter the area behind the pumpkins and defeat the enemies. Now enter the house through the hole in the floor. Grab the schematic from the room on the right before jumping down the hole and going through the portal.
If you're going for 100% completion, you'll need to collect 72 of the 89 schematics in the game to upgrade each weapon to level 3.
Baseball card
Go through the cave and flip the switch in the elevator to get a ride. Crouch through the gap under the wooden planks and enter the open area with the enemies. Go to the barn in the southeast corner of the area (next to the windmill) and take the narrow path on the left side of the building to reach the Baseball Card.
Figurine
Go back to the clearing and shoot the three bells that are there. Then enter the church that opens and collect the figurine from the back room. The first bell hangs on the house just before the entrance to the grounds, the second hangs on the tree to the left and the third is in the bell tower of the church.
Talk to the janitor
Now climb the stairs that lead to the fence on the west side of the area and talk to the warden to continue the mission.
Talk to the Old Shrew Lady
After talking to the Caretaker, go down the stairs and talk to the Old Shrew Lady at the bottom.
Explore the Haunted House
Optional track
Defeat the enemies that appear and follow the main path into the building. Climb the stairs and turn around at the top to find an optional clue pinned to the wall.
Schematic
Continue forward and enter the second floor of the haunted house. Here you will find the first wedding ring and there is a diagram on the floor.
Check the Windmill
Comic book
Leave the haunted house and go back to the barn where you found the Baseball Card earlier. Go through the barn and jump the gap. Under the stairs right in front of you is a comic book.
Enter the windmill and head to the top. Remove the Spooky Femur from the Gear.
Go Grab the pump key and return to the caves
When the windmill starts, go back to the barn and collect the cheese pump key from the box near the entrance. Follow the path back to the portal you passed through earlier and use the key to unlock the gate you come across. Flip the switch to clear the poisonous water.
Explore the Lower Cave and watch the cave break
Head into the lower caves to reach the chamber with the second wedding ring. After grabbing it, use the Grappling Tail point and swing to the portal. Go through and approach the wedding ring to trigger a fight with the third wife. Defeat her by doing the following:
-
Shoot her shield to destroy it.
-
Aim your flashlight at her to deal damage.
-
Repeat the previous steps until her health reaches zero.
Baseball card
Once you defeat the boss, go down to the trampoline at the bottom of the area. Jump to the ledge and go through the gate on the left. On the edge of the pillar on the right side of the corridor is a Baseball Card.
Talk to the third wife and return to the caretaker
Now talk to the third wife to get the third wedding ring. Go through the portal and go forward to trigger a short scene with the janitor.
