Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints
What can I light the fuse with?
1 of 11: You'll need to get your hands on a box of matches somehow.
2 of 11: There couldn't possibly be any usable matches down here, but maybe Watson has some up above.
3 of 11: To get to where you can yell to Watson, go over the rubble that's near the scaffolding structure and straight on from the plank bridge.
4 of 11: When you reach the right spot, Holmes will say Watson might hear him from there.
5 of 11: Look up to get a hand cursor to click on.
6 of 11: Doing that will get Holmes to yell Watson's name, but he won't be able to do it loudly enough.
7 of 11: He mentions needing a speaking cone, so see if you can find anything that's megaphone-like around here.
8 of 11: Go back to the still area where you got the thing you used as a ladder.
9 of 11: Look around to find a large funnel.
10 of 11: It's on the floor next to a wooden support beam, a bit to the left of the pirate skeleton.
11 of 11: Once you have it, go use it in the "yell cave" to get a box of matches from Watson.
