Jack Keane Hints
What should I use as an ignition source?
1 of 8: You have two choices here, depending on what items you decided to buy from the Savvy Shark back in Cape Town.
2 of 8: If you decided to buy the lighter, then you're all set. You can use it.
3 of 8: If not, you need to take apart one of the other items you bought.
4 of 8: If you didn't buy the lighter, you must have bought the compass.
5 of 8: And that compass has a glass cover -- perfect for attracting the sunlight and focusing it to spark something.
6 of 8: You need to find an item in your inventory to remove the lens from the compass.
7 of 8: You're going to need to physically cut it off.
8 of 8: Use Jack's knife on the compass to remove the lens, and you can use the lens on the bomb to ignite it.
