This is a hint for the game Raving Manor. Please be warned, the following hint gives information that could be considered a spoiler. For this reason, we would like to caution you about reading the hint unless you are certain that you want to proceed with knowing the information contained herein.
While Raving Manor was built using quality materials (and no doubt a lot of the Good Doctor's money), the neglect over the many years has left the Manor in a poor state of disrepair. Right now, this means that the West Hall on the second floor has broken away, leaving a gaping hole in its place and blocking access to the rooms beyond. How do you get past this obstacle?
Well, you are going to need something to bridge the gap. Hey, did you take down the wooden barricade at the stair landing behind you? You could possibly use the leftover wood to cover it. Now, doesn't that look solid. Well, no, since the warped wood planks are too slippery on the dusty, dirty floor to trust as you try to walk across them on the uneven floor. The nails are still in the boards from where you pulled them off the wall. Maybe if you had something to pound them into place?
