Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints

How do I go about getting Arneson's signet ring back?

  • 1 of 7: After you deduce that the raccoon has the ring, it'll be safe to assume that he put it in his nest for safekeeping.
  • 2 of 7: Your first task is to find out where that nest is.
  • 3 of 7: Next, you need to figure out how to get to where you can reach the nest.
  • 4 of 7: When you get the nest view, look around for the signet ring.
  • 5 of 7: Remember that it's probably still on Arneson's severed right hand.
  • 6 of 7: The severed hand and ring are easy to see in the back of the nest.
  • 7 of 7: Click on the ring to take it, then right-click to climb back down the ladder.
