Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints
How can I repair the hook?
1 of 9: You'll find the broken hook hanging on a board to the right of the counter. (It's a bit to the left of a caged puppy.)
2 of 9: As for fixing it, that's the sort of work that's usually done at a cobbler's shop.
3 of 9: Go back there and talk to Isaac to get permission to borrow a few items.
4 of 9: Then look around (or use the SPACEBAR) to see what all items are interactive.
5 of 9: You'll find some tongs on the counter, some iron thread on the chair to the right of the counter, and a metal shank just to the left of the exit door.
6 of 9: Take them all, then figure out how to use them with the broken hook to fix it.
7 of 9: First, combine the hook with the metal shank, since it'll be your new pole.
8 of 9: Next, bind them together with the iron thread.
9 of 9: Then use the tongs on them to create a snake pole.
