Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints
How can I find out more about the man I'm after?
1 of 7: When you first arrive on the wharf, you'll be next to a pub called "The Cursed Mermaid."
2 of 7: Go inside as Holmes suggests, and see whom there is to question.
3 of 7: Talk to the bartender to be referred to a man named Harper.
4 of 7: After talking to the Nepalese woman, return to the pub and talk to the bartender again.
5 of 7: He'll identify the man as "Dirty" Sommers, and will mention that he was hiring men at a private table behind a curtain.
6 of 7: If you go click on the interactive curtain to pull it aside, all you'll find is a wooden table with four symbols carved into it. (TIP: Copy the symbols down for later reference.)
7 of 7: That's all you can learn about Sommers for now. You'll have to put him on hold and look around the wharf for other things to investigate.
