Jack Keane Hints

What should I do about the man-eating plant?

  • 1 of 15: The plant doesn't want to let you past him.
  • 2 of 15: However, who says we want to get past him?
  • 3 of 15: We do, however, want to find a way to uproot him and take him with us. Trust me on this. :)
  • 4 of 15: First of all, you are going to need to find a way to subdue his more carnivorous urges before you take him.
  • 5 of 15: And secondly, you are going to need a tool to dig him out of the ground.
  • 6 of 15: In order to stop him biting you, you need an item which can be found beyond the anaconda's den.
  • 7 of 15: Once you're at the old ruins area past the snake, you will find an item which can be used to tie the plant up.
  • 8 of 15: There's a large vine hanging from one of the stone posts here. Use your usual rope-removal tool to take it.
  • 9 of 15: Use Jack's knife to cut the vine down, then take it back to the plant and tie it up.
  • 10 of 15: You will then need a tool to dig the plant out of the ground.
  • 11 of 15: You can find the tool back where you entered the jungle.
  • 12 of 15: Head back to Pandu and you will discover that he has set up a picnic and unloaded all of the stuff from his elephant.
  • 13 of 15: All his stuff... including his toolbox.
  • 14 of 15: Open it up and you will take the spade and a prod from inside.
  • 15 of 15: You will need to attach the spade to its handle, but once you have done so, you can simply go and dig up the plant.
