Return to Mysterious Island Hints
How can Mina get her cell phone working again?
1 of 7: It appears that the battery is almost dead. (Heck of a phone, to reach this far anyway!)
2 of 7: You'll need to find some way to recharge the phone's battery before Mina can use the phone.
3 of 7: There are several ways in the game that you can recharge the phone battery.
4 of 7: You will need to create a crude battery of your own, which can be used to recharge the phone battery.
5 of 7: However, you will not have the items that you need until you have explored more of the island, and collected more things.
6 of 7: For the technically minded, once you have the necessary items, you can choose to create either a Volta battery, or a Becquerel battery.
7 of 7: Once you have made a battery, Mina can use it on the cell phone to recharge it. (When the phone is recharged, that will also enable Mina to receive news items, as well as make the encyclopedia available for the remainder of the game.)
