The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How does the lockpicking puzzle work?
1 of 4: You'll need to bend the metal stick so that its shape will fit the lock well enough to act as an improvised key.
2 of 4: The metal stick is divided into four segments. You can click on any segment except the leftmost one to select it.
3 of 4: Once a segment is selected, you can click on the up arrow above it to bend the metal stick up, and you can click on the down arrow below it to bend the metal stick down. (Note that all segments to the right of the current one are moved along with the current one.)
4 of 4: You'll need to set all three of the metal stick's selectable segments correctly, then click on the "Validate" button that's near the bottom right corner of the screen.
