Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints
How can I open warehouse 12's cellar doors?
1 of 11: While standing on or near the cellar doors, look up.
2 of 11: You see that rope-and-pulley system up there?
3 of 11: One end of the rope hangs down near the cellar doors, and the other end hangs down near the top of some crates that you can get up on using the handy board ramps.
4 of 11: The end of the rope that's hanging down near the cellar doors is interactive, as is one of the large metal rings that are on the doors. You need to get those two connected somehow.
5 of 11: This part is actually very simple. Click on the interactive spot at the end of the rope, then back up a bit and click on the interactive ring on the cellar doors.
6 of 11: But how are you going to exert enough pulling force on the other end of the rope to open the doors? Holmes or Watson yanking or swinging on the rope won't be nearly enough to do it.
7 of 11: Look along the large metal beams that the two pulleys are attached to.
8 of 11: There's a giant metal cauldron hanging on the beam that the pulley farthest from the cellar doors is on.
9 of 11: If that cauldron was full of something heavy, and was attached to the pulley that's on its metal beam, it could probably pull those danged cellar doors wide open!
