Who is John in Sherlock Holmes Chapter One

Everyone knows that John Watson is Sherlock Holmes' best friend, but the young Sherlock in Sherlock Holmes Chapter One appears to be friends with some other John. No one tells you who he is, but John follows Sherlock everywhere throughout the game! Let's figure out who John is.


At the beginning of Sherlock Holmes Chapter One, we see John and Holmes sailing on a ship to Cordona, and then go together to an inn. Sherlock is talking to the receptionist while John is watching him. We don't see anything out of the ordinary. Then, as you head upstairs, something strange happens: John miraculously ends up at the top before you. This will happen whenever you enter new rooms or move to the back of the streets. And no, it's not because of some glitch or bug that allows NPCs to teleport from place to place.

The fact is that John is an imaginary friend of Sherlock, whom he invented in order to cope with some personal tragedy. While still a boy living in Cordon, Sherlock began to understand that something was wrong with his mother, Violet Holmes. Worse, his own memories didn't make sense.


Because of her mother's mental illness, she behaved strangely, became more aggressive. To cope with these events, young Sherlock pret?yelled that he had a best friend named John. And this couple became inseparable. John became Sherlock's protector. In a way, John was also the epitome of Sherlock's altruistic and selfless nature. For example, throughout the story campaign, he encourages Sherlock to help those in need, to do good deeds. And since he was invented by a child, John has a carefree and quirky character. For example, whenever he sees a puddle, he will definitely joke or start frolicking.

But in the end, Sherlock learns the truth: he is involved in the death of his mother. Violet, who suffered from dementia, tried to drown Sherlock in the backyard of the Stonewood family estate. As a result, he accidentally slit her throat in an attempt to protect himself. Mycroft then set it up so that their mother died by drowning and that Dr. Otto Richter should be convicted of medical malpractice.

During the final and ending of the game, you can make a choice about how Sherlock has to do with the events that happened and how he will act next. You can take all the blame, but regardless of the choice, John will disappear. Once and for all. However, struggling to forget the tragedy, Sherlock still meets the real John Watson, who will definitely change his life for the better. I have no doubt that we can find out about this in the next game fromFrogwares, which may be called Sherlock Holmes Chapter Two.
