The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints

How can I get into the bomb-makers' shed?

  • 1 of 11: After you get Holmes into the haunted house building, return to the caravan area and locate the shed to the left of the row of caravan cars.
  • 2 of 11: You can click on the door's lower hand icon to get a close-up of its padlock, but you can't do anything with it until you find some related information and a missing part.
  • 3 of 11: You'll find both items you need inside the middle caravan car.
  • 4 of 11: Once you've opened the middle car, move into it and look for a chest underneath the bed.
  • 5 of 11: Examine it for a close-up, then click on it to slide it out and notice that it's locked.
  • 6 of 11: Select the key in inventory, then click on the toy chest's lock in its close-up view.
  • 7 of 11: After it opens, take the piece of paper that's inside it, noticing the large Cyrillic symbol that's on it.
  • 8 of 11: Also take the small clock's hand from the chest, then go back to the shed and get a close-up of its padlock.
  • 9 of 11: Pick up the clock's hand and click it around on the center of the padlock until it's placed.
  • 10 of 11: You can then click on each of the four Cyrillic letter circles to enter the padlock's combination.
  • 11 of 11: Once the padlock is opened, you can open the shed's door and go inside.
