The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints

How can I tear open the false wall to see what it's hiding?

  • 1 of 5: After you break off some of the false wall's coating, you'll have two spots on the wall where an iron bar is showing through.
  • 2 of 5: In order to rip the false wall wide open, you'll need to attach the lower part of the iron bar to some heavy machinery.
  • 3 of 5: Look on the other side of the attic to find two large millstones, one of which is connected up to some machinery that still looks workable.
  • 4 of 5: However, it won't work until you replace a few missing pieces.
  • 5 of 5: Once the machinery is working, it'll rip away a large chunk of the false wall, revealing the grisly secret that it was hiding.
