Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints
How can I find out more about the mysterious Dr. Tumblety?
1 of 10: If you'll remember, he's the guy you were asking about when Madam Bella sent you off after that stolen cane.
2 of 10: After returning the cane, talk to Bella about Tumblety to get the Wasp's Nest Pub marked on your map.
3 of 10: Fast-travel there, then go inside to find that Sickert, the guy whose cane you recovered, is now hanging around there.
4 of 10: Ask him about Tumblety, then about Miss Poolmann, to learn that Tumblety met with someone behind the locked door that's to the right of the bar.
5 of 10: Try the door to find you can't open it, then talk to the bartender about everything to see that he's not much help.
6 of 10: Bluto says that he needs you to find him a "gas boy" who's brave and discreet. To learn why he'd be interested in such a person, return to the boarding house.
7 of 10: As you walk up to Finley, Watson will notice the smell of gas. Talk to Finley about it to learn that the police are involved somehow.
8 of 10: Also ask him about his strange tenant (Tumblety) to find out more about him, and to get a description.
9 of 10: Go to the police station and talk to Constable Humphries about the murders and Tumblety, and then about Finley and his description of Tumblety.
10 of 10: NOTE: If that doesn't get Watson to say that he has all he needs, and should return to Holmes' apartment, then you haven't yet finished everything described in the three questions above this one.
