Return to Mysterious Island Hints
How do I make arrows for the bow?
1 of 10: For the arrows, we want the main stick, a point, and some fletching.
2 of 10: Small bamboo shoots are "straight as an arrow".
3 of 10: You'll find them at the left side of the path, near where you saw the scarecrow, and picked up the lemons.
4 of 10: Feathers are a perfect fletching. Have you seen any around the island?
5 of 10: If you've taken the time to bother the birds out in their nests on the cliff face, you'll occasionally see them fly away, and a feather floats slowly down.
6 of 10: Take the feather, and combine it with the small bamboo shoots.
7 of 10: For the point, what do you have that's sharp?
