Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints
How can I get rid of Ashmat for good?
1 of 9: After chasing him off with the falling crate gimmick, move around to where you can follow him up the stairs.
2 of 9: When you reach a box-laden platform, you'll have to stop because Ashmat is just ahead, and apparently has an infinite number of bullets.
3 of 9: If you try to press on toward him, Holmes will say that he must find a place where he can write the Sign of the Great Old Ones in blood.
4 of 9: Look around on the floor to find a square-ish wooden panel that will do for that.
5 of 9: After you take it, look around for some blood.
6 of 9: There's a lot on the floor next to the top of the stairs.
7 of 9: Use the panel on the blood in order to bring up a puzzle in which you need to figure out which symbols to copy onto the panel.
8 of 9: After you finish the symbol, select the panel in inventory and push forward toward Ashmat again.
9 of 9: Holmes will hold up the panel and recite a nonsense verse from the weird book you found earlier, and Ashmat will fall over as if dead. What a dope!
