Ask the Author

If you have questions about a puzzle that aren't answered anywhere in these hints, you may contact the author.

Is it ever useful to visit the other islands or the shipwreck?
  • 1 of 3: Probably not.
  • 2 of 3: The shipwreck's useless (and guarded by a tough sea monster), and the other little islands around don't seem to have much of anything on them.
  • 3 of 3: The only reason to enter the water is to find and kill Jellyspores for experience. (Be sure and use my underwater combat tips to keep from getting killed.)
