You are missing two things in your inventory that you need to get into the castle in the garden..... One you will get from the Gnome. You have a fishing pole right? If you feed him he will reward you... next you need to go back to the tower....you need to read the book on the top. Don't leave until you get something shinny and sharp. Good Luck!!!
