Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints
How can I get through the two large iron gates near Becker's cell?
1 of 11: Notice the two levers on the wall to the right of the first gate.
2 of 11: Using the left lever will open the first gate and close the second gate if it's open. The right lever will do just the opposite.
3 of 11: As Holmes observes, you need to rig up a way to trigger the right lever while you're in the area between the two gates.
4 of 11: The way to do that is to hang a weight on the right lever that's heavy enough to pull it down. However, in order to keep it from pulling that lever down too soon, you'll need an item holding the weight up. And in order to be able to remove that item when you want, you'll need to have a rope of some sort connected to it that you can yank on when you're in position. (Whew! What a gimmick!)
5 of 11: So you need four items: a heavy weight, something to hang the weight onto the second lever with, something to hold up the weight, and something rope-like to yank the weight-holder-upper away with.
