**There are a lot of different patterns in this mission. You may need to use your own intuition for parts of this mission. Any step that has a star next to it means that that room will always have webs.**
- First check if there are any webs in the Garage or the Mudroom
- Guard Hall webs*
- If there are webs in the Coatroom get those

From here things get tricky. Go to the map and look to see if the study has webs. If it does, use this route:
- Lobby
- Balcony*
- Kitchen
- Upper Library*
- Go through the Lobby and Foyer to the Master Hall
- Rafters*
- Bedroom*
- Study
- Take the fireplace to the Studio
- Common Hall* and any rooms off of it
- Lower Library*

If there are no webs in the study:
- Start by doing the Common Hall and any rooms off of that
- Ride the shaft up in the Kitchen to the Dining Room
- Upper Library*
- Lobby to Balcony*
- Master Hall*
- Bedroom*
- Rafters*

These rooms will have a random assortment of ghosts so be ready for encounters

- The movements for the actual fight should always be the same. The goal is to get him to turn as little as possible
- First phase stand in the bottom left corner, let him jump twice and move away once the third jump begins, but go back to your original spot once he moves away. When he stumps really high, go to his other side and pull straight right. It should be really easy to skip his barrier attack from here.
- Second phase, stand in the center on the far right. Let him hit you with his fire attacks to prevent him from turning. Then use the same strats as in phase one when he does his jump attacks. Go around to the other side when he does his high jump and pull straight left to skip the barrier.
