Return to Mysterious Island Hints
How do I get the higher thorns?
1 of 4: A knife alone isn't enough to reach the higher thorns on the left cliff face (when facing the log pile).
2 of 4: However, the knife can be extended into a short spear by combining it with something.
3 of 4: Combine the knife with a branch, or a piece of wood, to turn it into a short spear.
4 of 4: Use the spear to cut down the high thorns. The result is curved thorns, perfect for fishing barbs.
