Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints

Where can I get a hammer?

  • 1 of 5: From the stable.
  • 2 of 5: The hammer is hidden at first, so you may not be able to find it.
  • 3 of 5: Did you give water to the thirsty horse yet? If not, do so now.
  • 4 of 5: After you give the water to the horse, wait for him to stand up.
  • 5 of 5: The hammer was under him, and you can now take it if you move up right next to the horse and look down at the hammer.
