The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
What am I supposed to do in the locked building?
1 of 12: First, sniff out the method that Henry used to leave the building.
2 of 12: From the door you opened, go over to the larger doors, then turn right and go to the other side of the building to find some doors you can paw at.
3 of 12: Holmes observes that the doors are locked, but can be forced. That directly implies that they haven't been forced yet, so that's not the way Henry left.
4 of 12: Turn left from those doors and go over to the wall to find a tool rack that you can sniff. Holmes will notice that some ice picks are missing.
5 of 12: Turn around and go down to the opposite wall, then look for a sniff spot to the left, above some small crates.
6 of 12: Sniffing there will get Holmes to realize that Henry used the missing ice picks to climb through the window.
7 of 12: Now you'll need to find a way for you and Holmes to leave the building and continue following Henry.
8 of 12: You can't ice-pick your way through the window like he did, so you'll have to force the doors open.
9 of 12: There's nothing usable on the tool rack, so look around for something else.
10 of 12: You remember that bar you knocked off of the locked door earlier? That might work.
11 of 12: Go back to where the bar fell, then click on its paw print icon to pick it up.
12 of 12: Carry it over to the back doors, then click their paw print icon to get Holmes to take the bar and force the doors open.
