Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints

How can I get into the house's upstairs room?

  • 1 of 12: The upstairs door can't be opened, so look for another way in.
  • 2 of 12: Go outside and around to the backyard area where you got the tarpaulin piece earlier.
  • 3 of 12: Examine that side of the house to find a boarded-over broken window.
  • 4 of 12: Move up to where you can click the magnifying glass on the window to get Holmes to note that you could remove a board from the window and get in, once you got up there.
  • 5 of 12: Look around for things you could move under the window to help you climb up to it.
  • 6 of 12: There's a trolley with barrels on it nearby. Maybe it could help.
  • 7 of 12: Go over next to the trolley and look up to find that you now have a hand cursor halfway up the wall. Click there to get Holmes to say that you need something.
  • 8 of 12: Something to use as a ladder to climb the rest of the way up, that is. Too bad the ladder you made earlier in the game isn't available.
  • 9 of 12: Now you can click on the stretcher/ladder to climb up to the broken window.
  • 10 of 12: Before you can go through the window, you'll need to remove the center board.
  • 11 of 12: The pincers that you still have from the cellar will work for that.
  • 12 of 12: Use them from inventory on the board, then click on the window to climb in.
