  2	What happened to your head?

• Right-click dig at the cross-shaped grave marker in the Haunted Woods, south-east of Fenkenstrain's castle and immediately east of fairy ring (fairy ring alq)
  • The gardener does NOT have to be following you, this step will work even if he disappears. But you cannot teleport away from him.
  • Be quick, the area is infested with vampyres. Take a holy symbol and food for low levels.

• Talk to the Gardener Ghost for the shed key (ensure ghostspeak amulet is equipped). ( 2)…

  2	Do you know where the key to the shed is?

• Search the cupboard inside the shed to get a garden brush.
• Take 3 canes from the pile of canes next to the shed
• Use all the canes (3) on the garden brush to get an extended brush (using a total of 3 bronze wires).
• Go upstairs to the western fireplace and use the extended brush on the fireplace for a conductor mould.
