Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints

  • 1 of 4: You'll need the room's key.
  • 2 of 4: It's locked in Arneson's safe.
  • 3 of 4: After you open the safe, click on the key to take it.
  • 4 of 4: Then use it on either one of the trophy room's doors to open them. (One door is in the upstairs hallway, and the other is on the balcony that the bedroom's other door opens on.)
