Sherlock Holmes The Awakened | All Mind Palace solutions

The Mind Palace in Sherlock Holmes The Awakened is supposed to replicate when Sherlock loses himself in thought internally to try and solve puzzles. He does so by amalgamating various clues to try and solve problems and puzzles other sleuths may miss.

In Sherlock Holmes The Awakened, the Mind Palace is found in the menu and is critical to progressing through the story, as it provides key solutions and evidence to overcome the biggest puzzles of the game.

How does the Mind Palace work?

The Mind Palace is where the key puzzles of each chapter are solved. To begin with, they serve as blank, black synapses, but as big questions that need answering present themselves in each Chapter, these black synapses will become puzzles for you to solve.

Clicking on each question actually provides you with an instant hint to the solution in the form of coloured orbs that form in the centre of the black synapse. These orbs will either be yellow, green, or blue. These correspond to the following types of evidence:

• Yellow – Observations
• Blue – Items
• Green – Documents and Testimonies

The number of each orb tells you how many of each type you need to select to suggest the correct solution. The answer you’re looking for should always be relevant to everything you submit.

If you get one or more of the pieces of evidence right, then that orb will glow green. Any incorrect pieces of evidence submitted get removed from the pool, removing them from contention. Get all the orbs to turn green and you will have solved the Mind Palace puzzle, and revealed a new piece of information to progress the story.
