What You'll Learn
Finding the pressure gauge
To find the pressure gauge, you must first talk to Veronica, who is standing outside the courtyard of Draynor Manor. She will tell you about her fiancé, Ernest, who went into the manor an hour ago and hasn't returned. Offer to help her find Ernest and go inside the manor.
Make your way to the top floor of the manor and enter the east room, where you will find Professor Oddenstein. Talk to him about Ernest, and he will explain that Ernest was turned into a chicken while helping with an experiment using his 'pouletmorph' machine. To turn Ernest back into a human, the professor needs three items: a pressure gauge, a rubber tube, and an oil can. These items can be obtained in any order.
To obtain the pressure gauge, you will need fish food and poison. Create poisoned fish food by using the fish food on the poison. Use the poisoned fish food on the fountain to kill the piranhas. Once the piranhas are dead, search the fountain to find the pressure gauge.
With the pressure gauge in hand, you can continue your quest to find the other items and help turn Ernest back into a human.

Getting the poisoned fish food
To get the poisoned fish food, you must first enter Draynor Manor and climb the central staircase. You will then need to ascend the spiral staircase to the west, where you will meet Professor Oddenstein. He will explain that Ernest was turned into a chicken during an experiment with his 'pouletmorph' machine. To turn Ernest back into a human, the professor needs specific components that were stolen and hidden in the manor by poltergeists. These components include a pressure gauge, a rubber tube, and an oil can.
The pressure gauge can be obtained by using poisoned fish food on the fountain in the south-western corner of the manor grounds to kill the piranhas. To create the poisoned fish food, you will need to find both fish food and poison. The fish food can be found on the second floor of the manor, in a blue container, directly south of the main staircase. The poison can be found on the first floor, in the kitchen.
Once you have obtained the fish food and poison, use the poison on the fish food to create the poisoned fish food. Then, exit the manor through the door in the south-eastern room and make your way to the fountain. Use the poisoned fish food on the fountain to kill the piranhas, and then search the fountain to retrieve the pressure gauge.

Talk to him about Ernest, and he will explain that Ernest was turned into a chicken while helping with an experiment using his 'pouletmorph' machine. The professor will inform you that to change Ernest back into a human, he needs specific parts for the machine, which were stolen and hidden by poltergeists in the manor. The required items are a pressure gauge, a rubber tube, and an oil can, which can be retrieved in any order.
To find the oil can, go downstairs to the dining room and search the bookcase, which is actually a secret entrance to a basement. In the basement, you will find a puzzle that needs to be solved. The oil can is located in a cell on the west side of the basement, but the door must be unlocked by pulling levers in a specific order to access it.
