Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints
How can I investigate the local moonshiners?
1 of 14: You can start on this at any time after talking to the Nepalese woman in her house.
2 of 14: Go down the road past the Nepalese house and toward a large ship's hull with a giant wheel next to it.
3 of 14: You'll get a brief cut-scene in which a deliveryman gets sick behind some stacked crates.
4 of 14: Talk to the deliveryman to learn what happened to him, and to get a bottle of moonshine.
5 of 14: Move on past the deliveryman, then turn right and keep going forward until you reach a two-way path split.
6 of 14: Go down the narrower path on the right to end up in a small cul-de-sac with lots of bottles and turnips under tarps.
7 of 14: Click on the door that's to the right of the bottle tarp to see if anyone will answer it.
8 of 14: Someone will, but if you're not holding an item in your hands, Holmes will just say that he's missing something.
9 of 14: You're here to ask about the moonshine and its effect on the deliveryman, so click on the bottle of moonshine in inventory to pick it up before you knock on the door again.
10 of 14: The man who answers the door will then give you the parcel that the deliveryman lost. However, that's not all you can get from him.
11 of 14: He'll give you some information essential to your wharf investigations if you show him a certain item you could've obtained already.
12 of 14: Do you remember that the Nepalese woman said you could search the little shrine she built to her missing son and take anything that might help you?
13 of 14: If you click on the shrine's hand-cursor spot, you'll get a pelican medallion.
14 of 14: Knock on the moonshiners' door with that item in hand to learn that some guy who gave a similar medallion to someone said he works at warehouse 12.
