Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints
How can I find the exact right spot?
1 of 14: Look through any clues you've got that you haven't used yet.
2 of 14: How about Davy's secret code?
3 of 14: Perhaps it can be interpreted as latitude and longitude for use with map coordinates.
4 of 14: The two code numbers were 56436 and 6134, so how can you adjust them to be latitude and longitude numbers?
5 of 14: Notice that the chart's latitude ranges from 56 degrees and 7 minutes to 59 degrees and 8 minutes.
6 of 14: What if you took 56436 to mean 56 degrees and 43.6 minutes?
7 of 14: Maybe then 6134 would be 6 degrees and 13.4 minutes longitude!
8 of 14: Scroll the map up until you pass the 57 degrees marker. Keep scrolling until the 40 minutes marker that's below it is about halfway up the side of the screen.
9 of 14: Then scroll the map to the left until the 6 degrees label that's along the top is at about the horizontal midpoint of the screen.
10 of 14: Set your large crosshairs to mark the exact spot at 57 degrees and 40 minutes by 6 degrees and zero minutes.
11 of 14: Now move your crosshairs up to 43.6 minutes on the latitude scale, and then left to 13.4 minutes on the longitude scale.
12 of 14: Click there to get Holmes to acknowledge that you've found the right place.
13 of 14: If you have a hard time finding it by the numbers, then scroll the map as stated above, and look carefully at the Ardnamurchan peninsula.
14 of 14: The point to click on is at the left end of the peninsula. It's a small black spot labeled "Ardnamurchan P."
