  4. Open the door to the north and go down the ladder into the basement. Put on the Leather gloves and go through the gate. Open and search the wall cupboard for a Magnet.

  6. Enter the garden and make your way to the shed at the very end of it. Hide behind the hedges as the witch walks by to prevent her from seeing you. Make sure you are standing next to the center of each hedge or she will still be able to catch you. When you have made it to the shed, try to open the door only to find out that it is locked.

    Note: If Nora T. Hagg does catch you, she will teleport you out of her house and take the ball and key. You will then have to gather another piece of Cheese to unlock the door to the garden again and start all over.

  7. Walk along the hedges towards the fountain on the other end of the garden and check it to find a Key. Remember to stay hidden when the witch approaches.

It is possible to safe spot during the third and fourth forms of the experiment by walking between the sacks and the crate with the ball on it all the way to the wall and using Ranged or Magic attacks to finish off the last two forms.
