Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints
What am I supposed to do as Watson?
1 of 8: Do you remember what Holmes told Watson to do right before the evidence analysis phase started? If not, check the latest entry on your portfolio's dialogues page.
2 of 8: Holmes wants you to see if the bookstore has a book about the Maori nation and its traditions, and he wants you to quiz the newspaper boy to see if the irregulars found out anything useful.
3 of 8: Since you start out near the newspaper boy, why not talk to him first?
4 of 8: Next, head down the streets to the bookstore. (Or better yet, use the travel map to fast-travel straight there.)
5 of 8: After you enter the bookstore and talk to Barnes, start looking for the Maori book that Holmes wants.
6 of 8: After you get the book, go by Barnes' counter to check out, then leave the bookstore.
7 of 8: Now that you've done everything Holmes asked you to, go check in with him to see what's next. (Once again, I recommend using the travel map for fast traveling.)
8 of 8: Go up to Holmes' apartment and talk to him in order to get the game's first quiz question.
