Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints

How can I get to where I can find a crate label?

  • 1 of 6: After fast-traveling to warehouse 16, approach its doors and click the eye cursor on them.
  • 2 of 6: Notice what Watson complains about when you do that.
  • 3 of 6: Look down to find some tar on the ground with footprints in it leading away from the warehouse doors.
  • 4 of 6: If you follow them along, you'll eventually come to another large set of doors that you can't open.
  • 5 of 6: Past those doors is a very small and dark room with one item on the floor.
  • 6 of 6: Pick it up to find that it's the type of label that you're looking for.
