Scratches Hints
How can I combine all of the necessary objects?
1 of 12: If you try to combine the tooth, the claw, and the plant cutting in inventory, you'll hear Michael say that it's not possible in their current state.
2 of 12: What might you do, to get these items to combine a bit better?
3 of 12: Think about what a chemist might do, to try and combine 3 separate solid objects.
4 of 12: You should first think about getting all of the objects into a usable, combinable form.
5 of 12: The only two that you will need to modify (in terms of their original state) are the tooth, and the lion's claw. These are not usable, as is. But perhaps if they were in another form (or "state"), they would be.
6 of 12: A form such as a powder, that is.
7 of 12: Have you seen anything in the game that might help you to crush these two objects into powdered form? Perhaps some kind of tool or utensil?
8 of 12: Instead of trying to smash the items, think about how you could grind them.
9 of 12: How about using the coffee grinder in the kitchen?
