Sherlock Holmes versus Arsene Lupin Hints
How can I damage the rope Lupin is going to use to escape?
1 of 15: The inspiration for this solution comes from the dormitory, and it is a fairly complicated solution at that.
2 of 15: You will need to construct two miniature hot air balloons, tie them together, ignite them both, and send them up to the rope to burn it.
3 of 15: The items you need to do this are scattered around the usual locations in the tower. I will list them below:
4 of 15: Helmet Stand (from the weapons room).
5 of 15: Haggis (from Johnson's locker).
6 of 15: Lampshade (from the dormitory).
7 of 15: Waxed Doily (from the cook's lodgings).
8 of 15: Dish (from the weapons room).
9 of 15: String (from the cook's lodgings).
10 of 15: Cake Mould (from the cook's lodgings).
11 of 15: Small Pieces of Wood (from the weapons room).
12 of 15: Oil (from the weapons room).
13 of 15: Scarf (from Smith).
14 of 15: Use the Helmet Stand with the Haggis, and then the Lampshade with the Waxed Doily to create the balloons. Then, tie string to both the Dish and Cake Mould, and attach those as the baskets. Now add wood and oil to each balloon, then tie them together with the scarf.
15 of 15: Unleash this complicated contraption on the rope near the Bloody Tower, and it will be weakened enough to foil Lupin's escape.
