The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How can I get Toby over to the base of the drawbridge?
1 of 9: Move up next to the metal support you just raised, then click on its paw print icon to get Toby to jump onto it.
2 of 9: Look across to the base of the drawbridge to see a wooden platform just to the right of it.
3 of 9: That's your goal in this stump-jumping puzzle. Look over the array of vertical logs to see how you might get across, remembering that Toby can't jump very far.
4 of 9: Wave the cursor around on the nearest log tops to see which ones give you paw print icons. Those are the ones you can jump to next.
5 of 9: To start with, there are two logs you can jump onto. Pick one and try it, then see where you can go from there.
6 of 9: As it turns out, the left log is a dead end, since Toby can't jump anywhere from it except back to the start.
7 of 9: So jump him over to the right log, then check to see where you can go next.
8 of 9: There's always just one or two choices of where to go next -- and when there's two, one of them will always dead-end right away.
9 of 9: Use that fact to quickly reach the log that's nearest the wooden platform, then jump over to it.
