On entering the orchard, follow the path and you’ll find a potting station on your left. Beyond the potting station is a blue door that leads to the cider garden.

Continuing on the path, you’ll find the Old Tower.

Going up the stairs, you’ll find yourself on a small terrace with another potting station and access to the orangery.

The stairs down to the orangery are broken, but on the upper floor, you’ll find a set of double-doors that give you access to the back terrace.

You’ll find a key to the Painting Room by a window on this upper floor (specifically, to the left of the back terrace doors).

Return to the Screens Passage through the Back Terrace and you’ll find the Painting Room door immediately to your left. Unlock it and open it.

Further exploration requires us to use special clues (which are not linked to any flower).

Return to the Orchard and examine the book and paper under the roofed platform here.

The book will teach you about Catholic Priest Holes, and from the paper you’ll learn that there is indeed a Priest Hole in Botany Manor, but it has not been found yet.

Now go to the Painting Room and examine the Symbology book placed open on the desk by the window.

We learn from this book that the Agnus Dei symbol represents Catholicism. You may have noticed this symbol in the Pantry next to the kitchen.

Finally, examine the floor plan of the manor, which is on the wall opposite the window. We learn from this floor plan that the manor was constructed in 1593.

Now go to the Pantry next to the kitchen, where you’ll find the Agnus Dei symbol near a very old kitchen scale.

The kitchen scale has space for four weights. As we know one four-digit number (the manor’s construction date), we can try this on the kitchen scales.

Place a 1oz weight on the first slot, 5oz weight on the second slot, 9oz weight on the third slot, and 3oz weight on the fourth slot.

This will unlock the age-old Priest Hole entrance. Enter through and at the end of this passage, you’ll find the actual Priest Hole.

From here, take a left and open the white door to find yourself on the lower floor of the Orangery.

You can now fix the stairs of the Orangery using the wooden planks near the base of the stairs.

This concludes all the exploration you can perform in Chapter 3.
