Sherlock Holmes Crimes and Punishments: Find the way to the Mithraeum

Head to Saint Albans. After entering the excavation site, go through the platform (near the first hut) and head left, to Area 2. Take the Ropes on the box.

1 - to Area 2 (Ropes), 2 - to Area 5 (Hooks)

Turn back and go to Area 5, where you should take the Hooks from the box near the columns. From here - using the clues from the Frigidarium (Neptun, bull and arch will show you the way to Mithras) - walk straight, onto the wooden platform by the river (near the second hut). Approach the barrier and examine the Bridge and the Iron ring. There are three such rings and a Hidden place in the middle.

Go to the hut nearby, approach the table (on the right) and examine the Dismounted device.

Assembling the gastraphetes

Attach the Mechanism to Mechanism housing. Attach the Shutter groove to the shutter. The Handle should go onto the Handle joint. Now, rotate the weapon 180 degrees and attach the Bow to the Bow rabbet. This is how you obtain the Gastraphetes - a hand-held crossbow of the Ancient Greeks.

Going across the bridge

Head to the platform and use the gastraphetes on the pillar on the other side, to create a rope bridge. Hold your breath (options at the top of the screen) and aim at one of the Iron rings. Aim a bit above the ring and shoot. You have to shoot three times to create the bridge.

When you're done, Select: Bridge, Cross. Walk only when the white arrow can be seen. When the red one appears, stop and press the right key so that you maintain balance.
