Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints
What can I use for a fuse?
1 of 8: Just about anything that will burn, but not too rapidly.
2 of 8: Some old rags would do.
3 of 8: You can't get any usable rags from any of the skeletons, so check the crates.
4 of 8: If you look at the crates on the ground under the big scaffolding structure, you'll find an interactive one near the structure's center.
5 of 8: It's sealed shut, so you'll need to pry it open with something.
6 of 8: Even though the old pirate dagger broke earlier, you can still use it for this task.
7 of 8: Use the broken dagger on the sealed crate to open it up, revealing sails.
8 of 8: Click on the sails to tear off some pieces to use as rags.
