Road Map

 

Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper is easily one of the better point and click adventures to grace the 360.It is also a very straightforward 1000 gamerscore and by following this guide and Roadmap,will ensure you only need one playthrough.The first and most important step is to get yourself to the following link for a full game walkthrough :-

 

Game Walkthrough

 

Barring one error at the end of the guide (there is an error in the final deduction.You do not need to select "Jack the Ripper lives in the ward of Aldgate" for James Hardiman and Abraham,only for Jacob Levy),this walkthrough is flawless and provided you don't deviate from what it says,will hold your hand throughout.

 

With above guide in hand,start up the game.You start out in Baker Street.As soon as you are told to get the map from the table,hold LT and examine everything in the room for the Curious achievement.Make sure it has popped before you pick up the map.It unlocks as soon as you have identified the last object so don't move forward till it pops.You can get it later in the game if you missed something but to be safe,don't leave Baker Street till it's done.This is the first of 5 possible missable achievements and nets 80g.

 

Follow the guide and story till you enter the brothel for the first time.After the talk with Bella,examine all the paintings.There are a total of 7 to examine.The one most people can miss is behind Sickert (geezer sitting in the chair in the corner of the room).Again it gives Art Lover and 80g and pops as soon as you examine the last.If you leave the brothel without checking them all that first time,there is a chance you blew the achievement so again play it safe and don't leave till it's popped.

 

Continue on till just after you solve the gas pipe puzzle and retrieve the bag of jems.As soon as you have the bag,combine the rusted iron dishes you found in the rubbish pile with the bag and you will retrieve a bag of jewels.Take the bag of rusted dishes and give it to Bluto at the Wasp's Nest and you will unlock Crime Doesn't Pay achievement.Make sure you do this exactly as in the walkthrough and you will get the third missable achievement and yet more 80g.

 

Once more,follow the guide until you get to the point where you must use the knives on the pigs heads.Take the big knife and slash several times at the pigs throat and you will unlock Dogged and cap the 4th missable achievement.Again it pops straight away so don't leave till you have it.

 

The final missable achievement is not so much missable as much as one you can screw yourself out of.Remember I said don't deviate from the walkthrough? You didn't now did you? Excellent.You see,if you start playing with the deduction boards in Baker Street before the game instructs you to,you can screw yourself out of the Relentless Logic achievement.It seems being intuitive is bad in this game.As long as you followed the walkthrough,you won't have touched any of these boards until prompted to by Holmes so your achievement will be safe.

 

After finishing the final deduction,you will see the ending cutscenes and your final achievement will pop for a lovely juicy 150g and secure your 1000 points!

For convenience,all achievements are listed in the order you obtain them.Make sure you are using the linked walkthough in the Roadmap as this will hold your hand through all the puzzles and make sure you unlock everything in order.Also DO NOT fiddle with the deduction boards until instructed to by Holmes.This will void your Relentless Logic achievement and that would just be naughty.

Study all the objects in Sherlock Holmes's apartment

 

As soon as the game starts,simply examine every object in the room BEFORE picking up the map and leaving for Whitechapel.The achievement pops as soon as you examine the last item.Hold LT down to highlight everything.If by any chance you miss this,you can still get it later but it's best to not chance it.

Study all the pictures in the house of ill repute

 

The 2nd of the missable achievements.Make sure to examine all 7 paintings in the brothel during your first visit.The one some people miss is located behind the plant by Sickert who is sitting in the corner.Do not leave till you get the achievement else it may void it unlocking if you try later on.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgMethodical 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Reconstruct the torn up reports

 

This is a simple jigsaw puzzle.You must reconstruct the two testimonies found in the police wastepaper bin.Very straightforward.Just put the corner pieces in first then work from there.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgOrganised 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Use the magnet to retrieve the lock pick

 

Simply use the magnet to guide the other magnet over to the hole in the upper left to retrive the hook.Don't hit the sides!

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgEagle Eye 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Retrieve the amulet from under the floor

 

Trust me,without the guide,this is a pain in the bum due to limited movements for the objects.Follow the walkthrough and it's cake.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgIngenious 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Access the first floor of the Finley lodgings

 

This is earned after building the ladder and gaining entry to the abandoned apartment building with the gas puzzle.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgSnake Charmer 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgCrime Doesn't Pay 80 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Replace the stolen jewels with the rusty tableware before going to see Bluto

 

Another missable achievement.As long as you follow the guide and place the rusted dishes into the bag after leaving the apartment BEFORE going to Bluto,you are fine.Make sure you hand Bluto the bag of dishes and not the gems cause that would be silly now wouldn't it?

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgLogical Mind 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Find the encyclopaedia of perfume

 

You get the book from the store after solving the dates puzzle.Either give yourself a mathmatical headache or use the walkthrough.I used the guide.Me suck at maths.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgSensitive Nose 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Solve the puzzle of the perfume

 

Another straightfoward shapes puzzle.Dip the paper and then match the shape.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgStrategist 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Enter the police station unseen

 

Now this was funny.Shortly after meeting the truly gorgeous Danny (gotta dig those sores on her face.Yummy) you will play a nasty trick on her involving smelly stuff and cats.See for yourself.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgLock Picker 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Pick the lock leading to the cells

 

I found this bloody annoying.Basically you need to turn the nail in the same direction as the bends on it's neck.Fiddle with long enough and you'll fluke it like I did.This one really would benefit the use of a mouse methinks.

Decipher the coded message

 

This is another simple puzzle.The walkthrough will sort you if needed.Basically,if the symbol is "\ /" it corresponds to a 5 in Roman numerals (V).If it is a "V" symbol it corresponds to a 10 in Roman numerals (X).

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgTechnician 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Reconnect the cables on the goods lift

 

Earned after returning power to the lift in the basement in the house at Wharfdale Road.Follow the walkthrough for the solution if you get stuck.Fairly simple to solve either way.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgTenacious 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Access the barricaded room on the first floor

 

Again,you can't miss this by following the walkthrough.Enjoy the surprise once you go through the window.Cadavertastic!

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgDexterous 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Dismantle the combination lock

 

Basically for this one,you will see a number at the top.You need to match this number with a number inside the centre square.So,if it reads 8,you either need to highlight a single 8 in the center square or you need to add the numbers together so that they end in 8 (ie 7 and 1 = 7+1=8).If you can't get your head round maths,you can randomly click round and get it just as quickly.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgCool 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Bluff the crooks

 

Another automatic story achievement.You get this after fooling the crook outside the house.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgCheeky 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Obtain the clues by phone

 

Gained after the phone conversation in the news office.The walkthrough lists the correct conversation responces you need to get the clues.

Open Tumblety's briefcase

 

If you're a whizz with Civil War history,you'll breeze this.If,like me you know nothing,may I introduce you to the walkthrough? Thank you.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgResourcful 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Obtain access to the butcher's shop

 

After some firking around with broken keys,you will finally be able to enter the butchers shop.Ready to carve some pork?

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgDogged 80 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Hack off a pigs head

 

Yet another missable achievement so don't hold back now,pick the large knife and hack at that piggies throat.After a few strokes,you will get the achievement and are safe to cut with more care.Squeal little piggie!

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgThe Crime Weapon 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

After placing the check mark next to the correct knives on each pig head this will unlock.

Fill in the timescale of the double murder

 

Just as before,complete the timescale on the board and this will unlock.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgShrewd 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Find Sherlock some water

 

After farting around for 12 years,you'll finally provide Mr Holmes with some water so he can give some chalk a shower.Why Watson didn't just buy some bloody Evian I don't know??

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgMake-Up Artist 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Create a dummy that resembles Jack the Ripper

 

After playing dressup with the mannequins this will unlock.Very straightforward just use the pictures and descriptions in the walkthrough for guidance.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgPinpointing the Killer 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Find out the district in which Jack the Ripper lives

 

This can be a little fiddly when it comes to drawing the ellipse.Just make sure that the two edges of the ellipse touch Mitre Square and Dutfield's Yard.Start the ellipse somewhere in the center of the two and you should be fine.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgJournalist 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Replace the correct labels on the compartments

 

Again,the walkthrough will see you right here.Or you could get the answers from the numerous pieces of paper littered around the office providing the clues.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgSurgeon 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Find the internal organ missing from the corpse

 

Nice and simple and you don't even need to know anything about anatomy (ok,you need to know the kidney isn't located in your nose but still).Just pick up the clay body parts with your tweezers and put them into the correct places on the body.Then stand back cause Watson doesn't feel well...

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgSnoop 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Find the correct file at the Imperial Club

 

You'll have to solve a couple of fairly simple puzzles to gain access to the safe in the club.Once that's done,just pick the folder with the name "Joseph Levy" on it.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgRelentless Logic 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Fill in the 5 conclusion boards

 

This is your final missable achievement.If you were naughty and started filling in the deduction boards in Baker Street,you could screw yourself out of this achievement.If you followed my advice and did what the walkthrough said and when it said it,you will be fine.You will fill these boards in at the end of the game just after the Imperial Club mentioned above.As long as you didn't fiddle with them prior to this,you will get your achievement.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgThe Killer's Identity 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Reveal the identity of Jack the Ripper

 

After a fairly lengthy process you will uncover the identity of the Ripper.I won't spoil anything,but I will say,no,it isn't Big Danny! On a more serious note,the walkthrough actually trips up here.You do not need to place the "Jack the Ripper lives in the ward of Aldgate" tags on anyone other than Jacob Levy.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Qu/XH/0YCLiGJhbC9ECgQOGwUfXyczL2FjaC8wLzgwMDAAAAAA5+fn-ujlXA==.jpgComplex Case 150 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

End the Jack the Ripper investigation

 

After watching the ending scenes this will pop and should grant you your 1000g in the game.
