Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints
How could I get some light up there?
1 of 8: Have you tried using your storm lantern on the hotspot?
2 of 8: Apparently, Holmes can't stretch enough to hold the lantern up where it needs to be to shed light on the mysterious "something there."
3 of 8: Look nearby for a way to elevate your lantern.
4 of 8: What if it were hung on the hook that the skeleton is hanging on?
5 of 8: Go over to the skeleton and click on it to get it to drop to the floor.
6 of 8: Now you can use your storm lantern on the hook to place it.
7 of 8: Visually follow the rope that the hook is connected to in order to find a control gadget on the cave wall.
8 of 8: Use that gadget to move the lantern to where it'll shine on the upper rocky ledge.
