The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints

How can I get Holmes to the haunted house's phone?

  • 1 of 6: After you get switched to Holmes while working on the bomb deactivation, you'll find yourself in a very fancy bedroom.
  • 2 of 6: Open the bedroom door, then turn right past it and move down to where you get a brief cut-scene that shows why you can't go down the nearby stairs.
  • 3 of 6: Go the other way and look over the railing to see a small maze of rooms down below.
  • 4 of 6: You'll need to use that maze to get across to the upper-floor area that's on the other side of the building.
  • 5 of 6: After you make it to the other upper-floor area, go along it until you find a locked door.
  • 6 of 6: Enter the room past the door to find a telephone on a desk that you can use to call Lestrade at Scotland Yard.
