The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How can I fix up the machinery in the attic?
1 of 13: Click on the machinery's hand icon for a close-up, then scan around for hotspots.
2 of 13: You'll find hand icons at the ends of two poles (one horizontal on the right, and one vertical on the left). Click on both of them to learn that there should be cogs there.
3 of 13: One of the cogs you need is in the attic, near the machinery you're trying to fix.
4 of 13: Check out the flour sacks that are piled around the base of the nearby wooden support beam.
5 of 13: There's a loose cog on the floor under the sacks. However, you can only examine it at first.
6 of 13: Select the cog in inventory, then get the machinery's close-up view again. Click on the top of the cog-less vertical pole to place it.
7 of 13: The other cog is downstairs, and you're going to need Watson to find it for you. However, you can't tell him to do that until after you connect up the false wall to the machinery.
8 of 13: After that's done, click on the hatch that's on the floor to the right of the open wardrobe. That'll get Holmes to yell down to Watson about the second cog.
