The Lost Files Of Sherlock
Holmes: The Case Of The Rose Tattoo

Walkthru

NOTE: There is a lot of flexibility in this
game, allowing you to go to various sundry locations in haphazard
order. In fact, the order that I went through the game when
writing the walkthru is not the order in which I played the first
time – hindsight (or notes) is such a wonderful thing. So, this
is less

a walkthru than a script of what to do to get
past a scene or puzzle.

Items that you can acquire are in bold,
while poignant information or new map locations are underlined.

You start as Watson, outside 221B Baker St.
