In the previous chapter of The Stone of Madness‘ The Gate of Saint Jerome campaign, Panecillo gave you a key. However, this key turned out to be more of a riddle than a solution. The engravings you found belonged to an engineer who once lived here and later lost his health and sanity due to this place, but he knew the way out.

Escaping won’t be easy, as the forbidden zones, cruel guards, and terrifying creatures roaming the corridors at night will do everything they can to keep you here. For this reason, you must not give up—find the Gate of Saint Jerome and escape as soon as possible.
How To Find The Saint Anna Statue
Your first objective is to find the emblem inside the Saint Anna statue. To do this, you must first head to the newly opened area in the south of the Refectory zone; this will lead you to The Great Wall area. You should reach this area with Leonora, and by climbing the wall and taking out the guard on top, interact with the switch to open the large gate.
Afterward, you will see a cutscene involving Brother Pedro, where you will hear that he shoots anyone who enters his chicken coop. First, interact with the cellar door in the southern part of the area and unlock the Shed shortcut. Then, enter the coop with Leonora, crouch, and carefully advance to break the mirror without scaring the chickens.
Next, use Agnes’ Light and Darkness skill to extinguish the brazier, using the shadows to your advantage. Slowly make your way into the coop. With Amelia, you can directly use the hole outside the coop to reach the Saint Anna statue. After interacting with the statue, you’ll see another cutscene with Brother Pedro, who will catch you and ask you to find three brown chickens.
Where To Find The Three Brown Chickens
To catch the chickens, you can use:
- Amelia’s Pickpocketing skill,
- Agnes’s Evil Eye skill,
- Using a chain with Eduardo,
- Using a plank with Leonora.
To find the first chicken, head to the south of The Great Wall area, where you will see nuns around a large tree. On the western side of this area, on the wall, you will spot one of the brown chickens. Climb the protrusions on the wall with Leonora, knock out the sitting guard, and then carefully approach the chicken, knock it out, and take it.
Since the chicken is near the fire, you can enter the wooden hut in the Orchard and interact with the switch inside to extinguish the fire on the wall.
Another chicken is found on the wooden beams above the dining hall in the Refectory. Start by using the ladder inside or climb up the ivy outside. Eliminating the soldiers on the upper floor will speed up the process.
Climb up with Alfredo to the soldier patrolling next to the wooden beams, dress him in priest robes, and press the button towards the south to open the area with two soldiers and a card game table. Eliminate the soldiers here as well.
Finally, take the plank from the soldiers playing cards with Eduardo, carry it to the wooden beams, and use it to create a path to the chicken, thus finding the second chicken.
Finding the third chicken is very easy. Cross the river to the east of the cellar door in the Refectory, and you will see it next to a coffin. You can easily take it with any character, but be careful of the armed soldier and the nun.
Additionally, there is a chicken in the northeastern area of The Cells. You can take it if you wish; however, finding three brown chickens will be sufficient. To reach this area, use Leonora to take The Second Floor shortcut in The Cells, then climb down the wall carefully to reach the ground.
How To Calm Brother Pedro
After you have found all the chickens and taken them to the coop, the day will automatically end, and your next objective will be to calm Brother Pedro. You can do this in two ways:
- Either by incapacitating him,
- Or by having Alfredo approach him in a Priest costume.
He is located south of the Cells, and the easiest way to reach the spot where he fires at the guards is to take Eduardo with you, bring a crowbar, and ensure Eduardo is at full health. Use the crowbar to break the iron bars of the building he’s in, then step on the bear trap with Eduardo to disable it.
Then, bring Alfredo in priest outfit to his side. This will complete the objective and end the chapter.
