Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints

How can I get the sack that Bluto wants?

  • 1 of 8: Bluto said that his sack is in the gassy abandoned house that's opposite the boarding house, so fast-travel there.
  • 2 of 8: Move toward the stairs to get Holmes to notice the abandoned house and the gas smell.
  • 3 of 8: Bluto said his sack is in "the mess where the gas pipes are," which you'll find on the wall to the right of the stove.
  • 4 of 8: However, the small doors covering the gas pipes are padlocked shut.
  • 5 of 8: After the doors are open, you'll be able to click on Bluto's sack. However, Holmes can't get it until he's wearing a much better gas mask.
  • 6 of 8: Return to the abandoned house and try clicking on the sack again.
  • 7 of 8: You still won't be able to take it until after you fix the damaged gas pipes.
  • 8 of 8: Once the pipes are fixed, you can finally click on the sack to take it.
