The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How can I get Holmes over the wall?
1 of 12: Move up to the wall and look up to find a hotspot to examine.
2 of 12: Examining it will create a hand icon on the nearby crate. However, if you click on it, Holmes will note that it's not large enough to get him over the wall.
3 of 12: You'll need to find something else that you can use to climb up the wall.
4 of 12: Do you remember seeing a ladder recently?
5 of 12: There was one stuck under the cable car earlier.
6 of 12: Since Watson's taken the cable car to the warehouse roof, the ladder should be unstuck now.
7 of 12: Go onto the cable car's platform, then locate the ladder and pick it up.
8 of 12: Return to the interactive crate, then choose the ladder in inventory.
9 of 12: Click on the crate to place the ladder, then click on the ladder to climb it and get a close-up of the top of the wall.
10 of 12: It has two strings of barbed wire going across it. You'll need to cut those before Holmes can go over the wall.
11 of 12: The pocket knife won't work for that, so you'll need to use the cutting pliers. If you didn't get them earlier, return to the cable car's platform and get them from the toolbox.
12 of 12: Select them in inventory, then click on each of the barbed wire strings to cut it. Holmes will then go over the wall.
