Return to Mysterious Island Hints
How do I fix the bellows?
1 of 11: Mina says that the bellows are made from seal skin. It seems reasonable to repair the bellows with the same material.
2 of 11: You just happen to have some seal skin on you, right?
3 of 11: Well, where would you expect to find a seal?
4 of 11: The beach would be the most likely place to look.
5 of 11: Go down to the beach, and Mina notices the bird flying overhead. Must be looking for lunch.
6 of 11: Explore the area underneath the birds to find the washed-up carcass of a dead seal.
7 of 11: Take the seal into inventory.
8 of 11: You're not going to stuff a whole seal into the hole in the bellows.
9 of 11: So try cutting it up a bit.
10 of 11: Use your knife on the seal to get seal skin, seal fat, and seal tendons.
11 of 11: Return to the kiln, and use the seal skin to patch up the bellows.
