The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints

Where can I find a ladder that'll reach the window?

  • 1 of 8: Look around in all the accessible areas to see where you can find any ladders.
  • 2 of 8: There's a short ladder on the side of two of the caravan cars.
  • 3 of 8: Maybe they could be combined into a ladder that's long enough to reach the haunted house's high-up window.
  • 4 of 8: To start with, remove each of the two ladders.
  • 5 of 8: Combine the two ladders in inventory to make a longer ladder, then find something to fasten them together with.
  • 6 of 8: Once again, the item you need is inside the brothers' caravan car.
  • 7 of 8: Look to the left of the window, where the kitchen utensils are hanging.
  • 8 of 8: Get the wire that's hanging there, then combine it with the ladders in inventory to make a large ladder that'll reach the window.
