Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints
Where's the secret entrance to the old hideaway?
1 of 17: Do you have any information with you about pirates?
2 of 17: Check the very bottom of your portfolio's documents page.
3 of 17: Read through the "Desperate Pirates" book that you got way back at the beginning of the game.
4 of 17: At the bottom of the second page, a captured brigand gives some obscure directions to a hideout entrance.
5 of 17: To follow those directions, you'll need to find three "throwing mouths."
6 of 17: Look around near the lighthouse.
7 of 17: Not far from it, there are three holes in the ground that are spewing hot water out of them. Those could be the "throwing mouths" that the pirate spoke of!
8 of 17: He said to take 30 steps toward the ram from the center of the "mouths." Do you see any rams around here?
9 of 17: If you look around, you should see a huge rock carved into the shape of a ram's head.
10 of 17: It's just to the right of the broken-down shack and another big rock.
11 of 17: Walk into the center of the three geysers to get Holmes to say something, then walk forward while facing directly toward the ram's-head rock.
12 of 17: When you've gone far enough, Holmes will interrupt and say something.
13 of 17: You'll find yourself standing next to an interactive rock on the ground.
14 of 17: When you click on the rock, Holmes says he needs something.
15 of 17: He probably needs something to pry the rock up with.
