The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints

How can I rig up a remote opener for the cage?

  • 1 of 7: Check out the tent's center pole.
  • 2 of 7: Examine it to get a close-up, then examine the wooden wheel to learn what it's used for.
  • 3 of 7: Too bad its crank handle is missing.
  • 4 of 7: Select the "part of a crank" item in inventory, then get the wheel's close-up again and click on it.
  • 5 of 7: After the crank handle is placed, click on it to get the hanging hook moved to a spot above the wolfman cage.
  • 6 of 7: Now you'll need to connect the hook to the wolfman cage's door.
  • 7 of 7: Once the cage door is tied to the hook, the other end of the rope will be outside of the tent, ready to be pulled from a safe location.
