The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints

How can I get into the killers' room?

  • 1 of 6: That won't be possible until you get rid of the big thug who's guarding the door.
  • 2 of 6: Holmes suggested making a powerful sedative to use on the thug, so that's your next task.
  • 3 of 6: Unfortunately, the receptionist will inadvertently lock you in the room during the sedative-making process.
  • 4 of 6: Once you're out, go down the hallway until a cut-scene starts in which Holmes gets Watson to lure the thuggish guard away from his post.
  • 5 of 6: After the guard is down, try opening the door that he was guarding to get Holmes to say that you need to take the murderers by surprise.
  • 6 of 6: Go up the stairs to the right of the door to get a cut-scene that'll conclude this line of investigation.
