Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints

Where am I supposed to go in this swamp?

  • 1 of 8: You're following some clues that Arneson wrote down.
  • 2 of 8: Check the "Arneson's Notes" document in your portfolio for the swamp-navigating clues.
  • 3 of 8: The first one says "Search among the branches near 'Old Sam's' racks."
  • 4 of 8: The next landmark mentioned in the note is the demon rock.
  • 5 of 8: The third and final landmark is something to do with jellyfish.
  • 6 of 8: You need to go down the left passage past the "jellyfish" tree, but the crocodiles won't let you.
  • 7 of 8: Row onwards until you come to a dead end where a small ramp leads out of the water.
  • 8 of 8: Row right up to the ramp to get Holmes and Watson to leave the boat.
