Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints
How can I get away from the club-waving thug in the exam room?
1 of 11: That's easy. Just wait until Dr. Gygax comes in and has you sedated and dragged off to a holding cell.
2 of 11: However, there is a better way to handle the situation if you can do it without running out of time.
3 of 11: Notice that due to the thug, you can't go very far in any direction.
4 of 11: So see what there is within your small area that you could use.
5 of 11: On a nearby table are three interactive items: a syringe, a glass of water, and a sedative bottle.
6 of 11: You can pick up the syringe, so do so and look at it in inventory.
7 of 11: It's full of a strong sedative that the doctor will use on you when he arrives.
8 of 11: But what if the sedative were replaced with water?
9 of 11: Choose the syringe from inventory, then click on the water glass.
10 of 11: That way you won't be all woozy when you wake up in the holding cell.
11 of 11: However, none of that really makes any difference. If you get drugged, it'll wear off fairly quickly after you wake up in your cell. If you don't pick up the sedative bottle, you can do so later on.
