Granny Weatherwax's cottage is located in Bad Ass, and is the most well-equipped of the witch cottages.

Access

The cottage

Granny's cottage is usually locked, but there's a spare key on the nail in the privy. If you put that key on a keyring necklace and wear it, then you won't have to go hunting around for keys every time you want to enter the cottage.

The roof

To get onto the roof, follow these steps:

  • Go to the herb garden outside the privy, and 'get undergrowth' to grab a clump of undergrowth.
  • Find the nanny goat and 'lead goat with undergrowth'. Lead it back to the herbs, where it will promptly uncover a small ladder.
  • Take the ladder to outside the back door, and 'lean ladder against wall'.
  • You can now go 'up' from this location to reach the roof.

Alternately, many witches record the roof as a broomstick location, saving themselves the hassle of this process.

The chimney and the cellar

The chimney can be entered from the kitchen, via 'enter chimney'. You can find (harmless) spiders here, for use in making antivenom. Be aware that anything dropped in the chimney will fall down to the chimney hatch in the cellar.

The cellar is reachable by going down from the widdershins wall. To retrieve items from the chimney hatch, open it. This will cause all the items in it to fall into the room, from where they can be picked up. Note that opening the chimney hatch will also unleash a cloud of soot, covering you in it.

The creek

A secluded spot - just east of the crossroad south of the cottage - that has several uses:

  • You can wash yourself or others (a gnome provides soap).
  • You can get a willow withe from the willow tree here.
  • You can climb the willow tree.
  • You can search for large hag stones in this room.
  • You can search for small hag stones at the crossroad west of the creek.
