The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints

How can I deactivate the radio-controlled bombs?

  • 1 of 10: After making one of your own in the bomb-maker's shed, you'll need to find the bombs' radio control center.
  • 2 of 10: Do you remember noticing any such set-up recently?
  • 3 of 10: It's on the large carousel. To verify that, click on the radio that's on the bomb you just made to get Watson to say that he should take it to the merry-go-round.
  • 4 of 10: Click on the table to pick up the bomb, then leave the shed and go down to the carousel.
  • 5 of 10: Go up the steps that lead onto the carousel, then turn right and go down to the control panel area.
  • 6 of 10: Click on the panel that has a hand icon on it to get a close-up, then use the radar to locate all four of the Russian brothers' bombs.
  • 7 of 10: Once that's done, Watson will insist on warning Holmes before doing anything else. (If he doesn't, examine the nearby telephone box.)
  • 8 of 10: After that's done, return to the carousel and find the telephone box that's in the control panel area.
  • 9 of 10: Click on it to open it, then select the telephone in inventory. Click on the telephone box again to connect up the phone.
  • 10 of 10: Now you can click on the active control panel to bring up the final puzzle of the game.
