The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints

Now that I've taken possession of a bloodhound, what am I supposed to do?

  • 1 of 14: Your task as Toby is to track down Henry, the owner of the scarf that Holmes gave you to sniff.
  • 2 of 14: Turn around and go up the steps, then move forward to where some ghostly footprints appear in front of you.
  • 3 of 14: Click on the "sniff" icon to let Holmes know that you're on the trail, then turn left and cross the tracks.
  • 4 of 14: Go up the board ramp, then move down to where you can turn right and use some crates to get back to the ground.
  • 5 of 14: Get onto the board walkway, then go along it until you can sniff some more footprints.
  • 6 of 14: Move forward to where you can turn right and get back onto the ground, then go down to where there's a door on the left that gives you a paw print icon.
  • 7 of 14: Click on it to paw the door open, then go through it to find some more footprints on the left.
  • 8 of 14: You can't sniff those, so turn right and go down to a doorway that leads outside.
  • 9 of 14: Sniff the footprints you find out there, then look to the left and up a bit to see a raised drawbridge that you'll need to lower.
  • 10 of 14: Once the drawbridge is lowered, move along the path past it until you find more footprints you can sniff.
  • 11 of 14: Go up to the nearby door and paw at it to get Holmes to note that it's locked from the inside.
  • 12 of 14: Turn right after exiting the locked building, then go along the path until you come to a chained gate that you can sniff.
  • 13 of 14: Past the gate, look in the area to the right to find a door next to what looks like a portable smelter. Paw at the door to find that it's locked from the inside.
  • 14 of 14: After Holmes is inside the factory, paw at the nearby door that the footprints lead to, then go through it to enter a maze-like area. After you get through it, you'll be done waddling around as Toby.
