Of course I haven't, but I can't seem to figure out where I need to focus my attention. Here's my inventory:

> I'm pretty sure I've got my wires crossed. I probably don't know what creature I'm supposed to be helping, since I'm not as far into the game as I suspected I was. I haven't defeated Dracula yet. I can't get back to the dungeon because the sleeping beauty keeps waking up when I come in the room, despite having made sure it's dark in there.

Re: The Creature, part deux
Are we talking about THAT creature? Sorry, got confused. There's another "The Creature" coming up later in the game with, if I may say, another Identity Crisis, but ALOT more so.

That creature- or shall we call him a man? Sure, let's do that- That man keeps waking up, even though it's dark, because he doesn't have anything to soothe him to sleep. Maybe some nice hot tea, a ceiling fan to keep him cool or some sort of soft music will lull him to sleep. Maybe it's something else entirely. Whichever it is, you don't have the item you need to do it. Better go get searching. It's located in a place you've tangentially referenced already. Good luck.
