Sherlock Holmes versus Arsene Lupin Hints

How can I distract the guard long enough to sneak Piers in?

  • 1 of 11: You will need to do something quite drastic to create a suitable diversion.
  • 2 of 11: Perhaps a little destructive work
  • 3 of 11: What was the architect telling you, when you opened the safe?
  • 4 of 11: He was telling you about one of the stone lions by the steps in the hall -- its base is cracking, and could easily fall at the slightest provocation.
  • 5 of 11: Perhaps Watson should provide that provocation -- as he says when looking at the lion, a hit from a blunt instrument, and it would topple.
  • 6 of 11: So, find a blunt instrument.
  • 7 of 11: Now, use the hammer on the statue, and it will collapse.
  • 8 of 11: A short scene will take place, and you will need to find someone else to help move the pieces.
  • 9 of 11: Who better than the guards outside the main entrance?
  • 10 of 11: Go and enlist their help, and they will entrust you with guarding the entrance.
  • 11 of 11: You can now go to the main gate and give Piers the key, allowing him to enter.
