The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints

How can I find out what's going on inside the warehouse?

  • 1 of 10: Look around for a way to enter the warehouse, or to at least see inside it.
  • 2 of 10: Find the stairs that start next to the cable car, then go down them to reach the ground.
  • 3 of 10: Look on the left past them to find a large, dirty window.
  • 4 of 10: Click on it to confirm that Watson can't see through it, then look for a way to clean it off.
  • 5 of 10: Go back up to the roof and check out the big water reservoir.
  • 6 of 10: Climb up its ladder to find a large cloth on the railing.
  • 7 of 10: Take it and select it in inventory, then return to the dirty window and click on it.
  • 8 of 10: Unfortunately, the cloth needs to be wet in order to wipe off the window's accumulated dirt.
  • 9 of 10: After you get the cloth wet, select it in inventory and go back down to the dirty window.
  • 10 of 10: Click on the window to get a close-up, then pick up the cloth and wave it around until the window is clean enough to trigger a cut-scene.
