Introduction:

Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter is the third installment of Sherlock Holmes games made by Frogwares. This one follows almost directly on from Crime and Punishments with the exact same interpretation 221b Baker Street present in the game. The big difference is that Sherlock's daughter appears in this one and the story in many ways centres around her. You'll solve various cases, as Sherlock Holmes always does but in between you'll unravel the bigger mystery between Sherlock's daughter Kate and the strange woman who has taken up residence next door to 221b.

Walkthrough:

Step 1: Play through the cases making sure not to 'skip' any mini games

During the game there is a rather odd option to skip huge portions of the actual interaction. You don't want to do this as doing so will cause you to miss many trophies that are related to completing these mini games. As long as you avoid pressing

at all times you should be in the clear and not have any trouble with missing these trophies. If you do, however, you will be able to replay the cases from the main menu once you have completed them.

Step 2: Clear up any missed trophies

If you missed Lawn Bowls Champion

at the beginning of the case 'A Study in Green,' now would be the time to go back and try again. The case will be available from the Main Menu. If you missed any of the other trophies you will also be able to play through the selected cases and try again, but you will miss them if the mini games are skipped.

NOTE: I've only listed Lawn Bowls Champion

as missable as it is the only one that it is not required for the game to progress with the story. However, most of the other trophies can be missed if you press

during their sequence, to skip them. To be safe I would recommend to never press

to skip parts as this may cause you to miss trophies and will require you to play through entire cases again.

If you need a little help solving the puzzles or figuring out what to do next, there's a great walkthrough the can be found here. Credit to Grzegorz Alban3k Misztal.

During the first case, 'Prey', Holmes will enlist the help of street urchin Wiggins. You will play as the young lad and tail a suspicious man through the streets and rooftops of London. Contrary to the trophy description you do not actually need to keep the man in your sight at all times, in fact in order to complete this section you will need to lose sight of him at certain times. Just make sure that you complete the section, with the accompanying mini games without skipping. If you get too close or the man spots you, you will automatically be given a chance to try again. The trophy pops after jumping on the back of a cab that the man enters.

Once Holmes has made it into the office with the pyramid's replica, the trophy will pop.
Lawn Bowls Champion

Win a tournament of local interest
(2)
*MISSABLE*

I'd say this is the only truly missable trophy, as if you lose you won't get a chance to play the tournament again. The aim of the game is to get your balls (the red ones) as near to the white starter ball as possible. This can be a little tricky as the arrow used to throw your game balls is curved as opposed to the straight arrow used for the starter ball. I'd suggest compensating for the curve as best as you can, and keeping a close eye on the power and direction you are throwing. If you hit a good ball you want to be able to remember how you did it in order to recreate it. If you think you're going to lose, quit the game by pressing and start again by talking to the guy in blue.

If you do happen to lose the game and carry on playing, don't worry, as you will be able to access this case from the Main Menu once it is completed, and the tournament is very close to the start of the chapter.
Agent 221B

Become a shadow unseen
Story related, but will be missed if skipped.
Near the end of the 'Infamy' case you will need to sneak through an abbey guarded by bandits in order to rescue your companion Orson Welles. There will be two sections to this: one outside in a graveyard and one inside the abbey. Once you have traversed this section unseen and are reunited with Orson the trophy will pop.
Tavern Tangle

Come to fisticuffs, but for good reason
Story related, but will be missed if skipped.
After discovering the secret area in the tavern, you will spot Orson Welles arriving in the bar area through a crack in the wall. You have to rush back to defend him before he gets himself killed. Once you successfully fend off the tavern regulars and escape, the trophy will pop.
Exorcism 2.5

Banish devilry
Story related, but will be missed if skipped.
During the 'Infamy' case you will need to visit an old religious lady's house whilst dressed as a pastor. With the help of Wiggins, you'll fake an exorcism in the house. Once you have completed the 'exorcism,' the trophy will pop.
Unwanted Attention

Deal with a gift from a secret admirer
Story related, but will be missed if skipped.
Shortly after solving Mary Sutherland's case in 'Infamy,' you will be awakened to the sound of Toby barking at a bomb thrown through the window. You will need to examine the bomb, bending the lid off gently and cutting wires in to defuse it. Investigate all components of the bomb and you should be able to figure out which wires to cut. If you detonate it don't worry, you'll be able to try again from the checkpoint.
Ace of Spades

Let the cards fall where they may
