  • Leave the room through the doors to the left

  • Photograph the masked man
  • Head through the door on the left
  • Follow the hall
  • Go through the door at the end of the hall
  • Exit out into the garden through the door on the right

Out in the garden, players need to create a replica of the image they were shown in the Doll Shrine psychic photo. To do this, players will need to focus on the first tree to their left in the garden. Focus the Camera Obscura until a small focal point pops up. Lock onto the point and take the photo. After this, the effigy will fall into the bushes.
