Cupboard under the stairs

Back up and look at the stairs again. There are 4 pictures on the walls and if you view them you will see that they are associated with the 4 items. Note the positions of the 4 pictures in the order of the clues.

Examine the same 4 photos on the wall in the same order, they will look different.

On each photo is a symbol, make a note of these that you see. They will be different for each game. Then view the door to the cupboard under the stairs there is a padlock with a code.

Use the 4 symbols that you have from the photos to open it. This was my solution:

• The first water will raise a flower head and then then each water after that will raise up 1 pair of leaves.
• Once you have all 4 correct, the dark flowers will bloom

You then need to collect all 4 flowers by tapping them.

Now return to the crypt, and give the flowers to the weeping ghost.
