The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints

How can I find the rest of the cemetery bandits' stashed loot?

  • 1 of 9: The note that you found said it was hidden with Romeo and Juliet, the two newcomers.
  • 2 of 9: "Romeo and Juliet" is doubtless a fanciful reference to two recently deceased people who were lovers. Look around for something that might tell you their real names.
  • 3 of 9: Did you read the notice board that's on the wall near the morgue doors in the dispensary? If not, go back and do so now to get the "List of recent deaths" document.
  • 4 of 9: Check that in your documents list to see that Sally Petticoat and John Hamilton were very young, and were going to be married. They must be "Romeo and Juliet."
  • 5 of 9: However, if you search the graveyard for a headstone with their names on it, you won't find it.
  • 6 of 9: Once the grave is located, you'll need to do some digging to find the bandits' stash.
  • 7 of 9: After taking the shovel, select it in inventory, then return to the lovers' grave and click on the hand icon to dig up a metal box.
  • 8 of 9: Click the hand icon that's on the box to get a close-up of its puzzle screen.
  • 9 of 9: After you solve the number-lock puzzle, you can click on the open box to find the rest of the bandits' loot.
