Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints

How can I get anything useful out of this Wolff character?

  • 1 of 11: Find his cell in the area past the two iron gates and talk to him.
  • 2 of 11: He'll refuse to talk to anyone except Professor Schwartz.
  • 3 of 11: Holmes suggests checking Wolff's medical files, which is something you can only do in Dr. Gygax's office.
  • 4 of 11: Click on the skinny brown file cabinet to the right of the "Abstellkammer" door.
  • 5 of 11: In the file drawer that opens up, click on the "Wolf" folder.
  • 6 of 11: That'll get you a photograph of Prof. Schwartz added to your portfolio's documents page.
  • 7 of 11: Look at that photo. Is there any way you could disguise yourself as the professor so Wolff would talk to you?
  • 8 of 11: The three most noticeable things about the prof's face are his hair, his glasses, and his beard.
  • 9 of 11: You already have a hairpiece from your earlier Amos Colby disguise, so look around for some glasses and a fake beard.
  • 10 of 11: Once you have the spectacles and fake beard, combine them in inventory to make your official Prof. Schwartz disguise. (It turns out that you don't need the hairpiece.)
  • 11 of 11: Return to Wolff's cell and use your disguise on him in order to get some info about a secret meeting place.
