There are even more “great” things.
In case The Muse From Abroad there are 2 almost equally guilty persons. But you can bring to justice only one of them. What prevents Holmes to bring evidence to police about the other one is a mystery. LOL

[Dr. Peppermill]

In this game Holmes plays a "god" who can punish everyone or no one with zero consequences for him, except a few words from his uber annoying alter ego Jon.
On top of that the technical issues, stutter and bugs ... this game is a big disappointment. Which is a shame because I really like the game mechanics.

PS
In some cases the open ending works well, for example in Blindsided you can decide to let the suspect go free (unless you accuse the other one).

No , game tell you. If you get 20 credits for case than it is wrong. Archaeologist is guilty game tells you , newspaper tells you , evidence tells you,plus if you get "red " writing from john than you played out of Sherlock character and sense for truth and justice . And you read in newspaper that "there were no evidence or something and killer goes free. There is one correct answer for every case 100%

[Willibald]

See it that way: You play as Holmes, and that is why you decide who is guilty, and what really happened, and whatever you decide is the truth then. Holmes cannot fail. You write your own story as Holmes. If you follow what the others say instead of making your own conclusions, you are not Holmes.

Interesting.. Can you tell me without spoiling too much how you know when it's right? How many credits do you get? Are there varying amounts?

What red writing from Jon? I check his diary and he just always says the same thing over and over: Sherlock doesn't know what he's doing. He's irritating everybody.

Well, I know one person who irritates me, too.

At 20 credits for a failed case, I'll never make enough money to read the damn papers. They cost around 60 credits!

Any help appreciated. Don't spoil too much, if possible. Thanks!

Worst thing about this game and this case especially is that the evidence vanishes after clicking them. Afair the only "hard" evidence in gilded cage were the darts. You find a box of BLUE darts in the wharf, RED darts in the research area and the elephant had a RED dart in him. This information just vanishes without a chance to look at it again.

The other evidence is more or less the same for both suspects: need for money / close important research, darts had poison on, both were injuried on the same side.

Most times the suspects give an explanation if you chose correctly but not everyone. Mostly only the ones which killed by accident or were oppressed. In this case the researcher didn't gave an explanation afair because of his cold blooded character.

Papers are 1 . And after every case you will get white or red sign from John along with how much money you got . You have list online what outcome gets you what but with spoilers . You see right after case end , How you didn't i don't know. Watch play of some side quest on YT . For gilded cage for Paul you get just 20 and for Arthur 70 .

Struggling with the last clue on this case.
After examining Goliath a clue appears in the casebook asking the question if the dart was shot before or after theodore's death. There is a dialogue icon indicating I should pin this clue and speak to someone about it, but I have no idea *who*? Help.

Excamine the dart on both ends. After that you should be able to analyze it chemically.

If you've done that, and you have that dialog option. Take a screenshot, asap, because you might have found something other people have not. :) (So if you really can talk to someone about that question, you have found something I've not seen other people find. :)

Talk to all three people in that case. So Paul, the archeologist, and the daughter whos father has died.

And if they say something on the topic record it - as, again this is something other people havent found yet. :) )

If you accuse Swift and give him not the "moneygrabber" portrait, if you spare him letting him flee he will say "It was never my-" but then Sherlock interrupts him, it's the most significant evidence of a confession

Looks to me that there is something more to discover on this case.

I've checked, I have this entry as well - the next sentence on it on my save reads - "Maybe Ms. Perks (= Paul) or Mr. Swift (= Archeologist) have an idea about that."

And then "I've made my decision" directly after that.

I'm sure I've talked to them about all topics before the accusation stage - and all I can remember is one of them talked about that they were curious what a human dosis would do to an elefant, but thats all I can remember, certainly nothing conclusive...

BUT - I didnt have that option active at the time. So maybe make it active and talk to those two - to see if they have a more in depth response and then report it to us. :)
--

My current guess is, that it might be a bug, that the "Maybe those two.." line does appear, once you've done the next step and gets filled in too late? Dont know. There is still the possibility that we have missed somethng collectively. :)

So talk to those two and report back. :)

The other thing that comes to mind is, that the text on this item might get advanced by doing mindpalace (thats the mind brainstorming thing you do to get the mindmap of the case) stuff.

So keep that save, then see if you can advance the clue to the stage where it reads "I wonder if Paul or Archeologist have something to say about it", but try to prevent the clue to reach the "I've made my decision" stage if you can.

So also try to talk to Paul and Archeologist, with this clue active, after it reads "Maybe Perks, or Swift have something to say about it". If you can get it to that stage.

edit: Also the item text might get advanced by talking to the daughter of the victim, try that as well.

edit2: Also Talk to Jon near the Elefant and near the crimescene, maybe he advances the cluetext...

[TheDecker]

I've tried talking to everyone involved with the case with the clue pinned but nothing happens. Only dialogue option I have left is "accuse". Jon had nothing to say either. Once I solve the case the icon goes away as well. Maybe I missed a dialogue option earlier.
