The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How can I communicate with Holmes?
1 of 10: Remember that he's up on the haunted house building's upper floor.
2 of 10: If you go over to where you can click the hand icon that's on the window Holmes climbed in through, Watson will just say there's nothing interesting there.
3 of 10: Try going around to the other side of the building and clicking on the other upper-floor window's hand icon.
4 of 10: Watson will then say that he must attract Holmes' attention.
6 of 10: You can't pick up any pebbles, so use something similar.
7 of 10: There's a bag of marbles in the toy chest that you opened earlier. If you didn't get it then, go get it now. (Remember that it's in the middle caravan car.)
8 of 10: Select the marble bag in inventory, then go click on the haunted house's right-side upper window.
9 of 10: Watson will throw one marble before deciding to wait until Holmes answers. This will get you switched to Holmes, and you'll need to figure out how to get him to the phone.
10 of 10: After the call to Lestrade is made, click on the nearby window shutters to start a cut-scene in which Holmes talks to Watson about what to do next.
