Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints
Fibres
1 of 14: To start with, look up at the top part of the wall that the footprints are next to. (See the Footstep Traces Report if you don't know where this is.)
2 of 14: Move closer to the wall if you have to in order to get a hand cursor to appear on the metal spikes that are on top of the wall.
3 of 14: Click to learn that there is something there, but you can't get to it from here.
4 of 14: Apparently, you'll need to go around to the other side of the wall.
5 of 14: To do that, you'll have to leave the grounds through the front gate and enter the alley that's just to the right of the grounds.
6 of 14: Go along the left wall in the alley until you reach the spot that's on the other side of the wall from the footprints.
7 of 14: You'll recognize the spot because some of the metal spikes are bent, and the hand cursor will appear on them.
8 of 14: Unfortunately, you'll have the same problem on this side of the wall that you had on the other side -- Holmes can't reach up high enough to get whatever it is that's caught on the metal spikes.
9 of 14: The only way he can get up there is by using a ladder.
