Repeat this pattern with another stick and another brazier.
The next goal is to reach the ladder.
You must:
The lit basket should swing and scare off nearby rats.
you’re free to use the ladder now.
You have to lower it, but a puzzle needs to be completed so you can do that.
First, use the rotating mechanism.
This will unlock new side rooms, but new rats will swarm to the scene.
Get alcohol
There are two areas to explore here.
you should probably explore the first one (screenshot above)in search of Alcohol.

You now needto visit the other area for the Sulphur.
It is in the upper right chest.
Order Lucas to stop holding the mechanism(same buttons as before).
Jump down andpush the cart towards the shelf with the chest.

Use Ignifer or sticks to light braziers and torches to create safe zones.
you could also craft Ignifer pots to wipe the path from rats as you pass.
