Sherlock Holmes Chapter One Guide - All Arguments with John

 How to start and win every argument with John in Sherlock Holmes Chapter One


During his travels across Cordon in Sherlock Holmes Chapter One, Sherlock is accompanied by his ghostly companion John, who now and then "tries to take" the young detective on a bet. This is embodied in simple (and sometimes quite difficult) tests, most of which are activated automatically. However, there are some controversies that require additional steps to launch. In this guide, we go over all the arguments with John in Sherlock Holmes Chapter One: how to start and what you need to do to win.


Argument with John

Sherlock Holmes Chapter One Guide - All Arguments with John

In what task : "Mother's love".

Official synopsis from the magazine . John argued that I did not recognize the retired sailor sitting at our table the first time. Now he will be convinced that he is wrong.

This is the very first dispute. As soon as you get in your hands a cane belonging to an unknown man, secure the evidence, interrogate the nearest gentlemen and learn that a retired sailor was sitting at the table before us. Go out to the courtyard of the hotel where you came from at the very beginning of the game, use focus on Q and examine all the people. The target you need is at the gate on the left. It is important that you speak to the right character (retired sailor) first.

Reincarnation Master

In what task : "Master of transformations".

Official synopsis from the magazine . John offered to surprise Mrs. Nini and first dress like the man in the picture, and only then try to portray a thief. This is an old man with sideburns, a top hat and a white suit.

When, according to the plot of the game, go to Mrs. Nini's studio, the woman will offer to use the clothes from the back room to disguise herself as a bandit. You have a description of the bandit, but don't rush. Examine the painting on the right wall of the room where you found the clothes. The portrait shows an old man with sideburns. John will offer to disguise himself as him in order to surprise the old lady Nini. Go out into the hall to Mrs. Nini, go behind the screen and change your clothes. Choose a tall hat, sideburns, white suit, and old man makeup. Talk to Mrs. Nini.


Treasure stash

In what task : "Mother's love".

Official synopsis from the magazine . John remembered that we had arranged a cache in the room, and persuades him to find it.

There is a cache in Sherlock's bedroom. You will receive this challenge after looting the table in front of the window where there is a wooden handle under the newspaper. Secure this handle in the magazine as your main evidence, go to the closet to the left of the front door and use Concentration to examine one of the top drawers that lacks a handle.

Souvenir

In what task : "This is" w-w-w "for a reason."

When you search the office of the missing inspector, you will definitely stumble upon a niche behind the painting. It contains a jar with an inspector's severed ear. John will offer to pick him up. Do so. The dispute will end right now, but later, towards the end of the mission, you can exchange this ear for a cool revolver.


Trilogy "Bazucology"

In what task : "The Golden Cage".

Official synopsis from the magazine . John wants to put together Wallace de Aurum's Bazooka trilogy. The first book I found in Imogen's room. This is a real desecration of literature, but for some reason the readers like it. Well, I'll try to figure out what is the reason.

To start this debate, you need to find any of the three books in this trilogy. John will immediately talk to you and ask you to find the two remaining. You can collect these books in any order, but please note that this must be done before the end of the mission, before you try to lure the elephant Goliath. In addition, you will get access to some places only during the development of the storyline and a specific investigation.

Now in more detail. One book is in the bedroom of the daughter of the deceased Theodore, in her luggage behind the bed. Look for another book on the shelves in the pantry, inside the boat workshop, near the yacht club. In the same closet, there is a nautophone, a device you will use to lure an elephant. Finally, the third book lies on vases under a canopy at the excavation site. Not far from a place with lots of pits and workers. If you stand facing the bank, then the workers should be on the right, and the shed with the jugs on the left. The ruins still rise above it, where you study and place four statues. Collecting all three books will win the argument.


Elephant life

In what task : "The Golden Cage".

Official synopsis from the magazine . John reminded me of a newspaper article we read as children. It was then that I first learned about these beautiful animals. It is necessary to look in the archive of the editorial office for ten-year-old issues. The article was on the editorial, its author is a science journalist.

As soon as you get the quest "The Golden Cage" and study the scene, John will offer a bet. Go to the archives of the Chronicle newspaper, consolidate this dispute as the main evidence in your diary, and then search for the criteria: 1870-1879. (Period), Journalists (People), Editorial (Section). You will find a newspaper clipping and this will end the argument.

In what task : "Mother's love".

Official synopsis from the magazine . John offered to play chess with him. the white king is in danger. It is necessary to save the king in one move and put the opponent in check and checkmate. John goes black.

In which task : "Love, death, Cordona."
Official synopsis from the magazine . Identify the killer in one go.

To end this dispute, at the end of the current quest, you need to identify the killer without making a mistake. It resembles an argument at the very beginning of the game.

What's going on in the refugee camp?

In what task : "Overseas muse".

The argument is won!

Good spanking

After that, go to the Mining's Reach market, disguise yourself as a poor man (the H key allows you to see hints) and chat with the only bandit. Select the difficulty mode of the future battle, but this will not affect anything. The dispute will be won in any case.

True Blind Duelist

Then, when you interrogate the sister of the deceased, go out into the courtyard through the nearest door and shoot at all the bottles. John will be looking at them.

You can skip the fight: in this case, it will end in victory without death.

Playing with the law

In what task : "Iron coffin".

Official synopsis from the magazine . John invited me to be a cop, if only for fun. The suspects shouldn't realize that I'm not really a police officer.
