Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints
How can I get into the Imperial Club's cellar?
1 of 14: The first thing to do is get that barrel out of the way of the cellar window.
2 of 14: To do that, you'll have to get some leverage on it.
3 of 14: Look around for two boards that you can take.
4 of 14: One is right nearby, in the small pile of wood scrap.
5 of 14: Pick it up, then select it in inventory and click on the hotspot next to the barrel to place it.
6 of 14: Now find yourself a lever.
7 of 14: Look across the street from the club's front door.
8 of 14: There's a hard-to-see stick of wood lying on the pavement near a bottle and a crumpled-up leaflet.
9 of 14: Pick up the wood, then select it and click on the wood you placed next to the barrel. That'll get it tipped over and out of the way.
10 of 14: Click on the cellar window to learn that it's locked from the inside. You'll need a tool with which to unlock it.
11 of 14: There's nothing usable lying around outside, so go back into the club and look around the entry room.
12 of 14: Check the floor next to the coat rack to find a broken hangar that you can take.
13 of 14: The hook on that hangar should do the trick on a simple iron latch, so go try it.
14 of 14: Go outside and use the broken hangar from inventory on the cellar window to unlock it and go through it.
