Return to Mysterious Island Hints
When did that happen?
1 of 5: After burying the Captain's body on the beach, if you watched the following cut-scene carefully, you should have seen the ghost of Captain Nemo, beckoning to you from under the large stone archway.
2 of 5: He appeared to be pointing to something...
3 of 5: ... something near the rocks to his right (above the small pool where the orange fish was swimming earlier).
4 of 5: If you followed up on that, you should have noticed an oyster clinging to the rocks -- near where the four original oysters were found.
5 of 5: If you retrieved that oyster, you would have found that it contained a giant black pearl -- the Captain's valuable "thank-you" to Mina for fulfilling his final wish.
