Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints
Once I have a working snake pole, how can I get the tanner's mask?
1 of 10: You'll need to move the snake to another cage before you can get the mask from its cage safely.
2 of 10: Return to the pet shop and look around for empty cages that you can take.
3 of 10: There are two of them to the left of the exit door.
4 of 10: There's another one just to the left of the puppy's cage, near where you got the broken hook.
5 of 10: After getting all three, look at them in inventory.
6 of 10: It should be pretty obvious which cage to use. If not, point at all three of them to see which one is described as a "cage with a tight mesh."
7 of 10: Select that cage in inventory, then click on the snake cage's interactive spot.
8 of 10: Once that's done, click on the snake cage to open it.
9 of 10: Select the snake pole in inventory and click on the new cage to safely move the snake into it.
10 of 10: Now you can click on the tanner's mask to take it.
