Tex Murphy: Overseer Hints
How do I get the item that's guarded by a snake?
1 of 10: You'll have to get rid of the snake first.
2 of 10: Try building a boy scout's trap.
3 of 10: All items but one needed to build this trap can be found in the ruins.
4 of 10: You'll need a box and a rope on a stick.
5 of 10: The box can be found in the alcove in the right part of the ruins.
6 of 10: The rope can be found in the hallway towards the inner chamber of the ruins. You'll find this hallway behind the door in the alcove.
7 of 10: Now, you still need some bait.
8 of 10: If I remember correctly, snakes eat mice.
9 of 10: One of the drawers in the big filing cabinet in Tex's office contained a toy mouse.
10 of 10: Combine the box, the rope on a stick, and the mouse and use this combination on the snake.
