The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
So how can I get something that'll hold the trapdoor open?
1 of 6: There aren't any more metal bars around that you can take, so you'll have to work with the two you have.
2 of 6: Maybe if they were bound together somehow.
3 of 6: Look around for some loose wire or cable.
4 of 6: You'll find some hanging down near the closed door that's past the service trapdoor.
5 of 6: Click on the wire to take it, then go to inventory and use it to tie the ladder rung and rusty bar together.
6 of 6: To do that, drag one of the bars onto the other one to get them combined, then drag the wire onto the combined bars to get them tied together.
