Return to Mysterious Island Hints

Eggs

  • 1 of 16: There are different types of eggs available to Mina in the beach area.
  • 2 of 16: Look to the high rocky area near where Mina was washed up on shore.
  • 3 of 16: There seem to be several birds' nests there.
  • 4 of 16: At least one of the nests is easily accessible.
  • 5 of 16: Take the egg from that nest.
  • 6 of 16: Note that you cannot eat the eggs raw; you'll need to find a way to cook them first.
  • 7 of 16: You can cook the eggs over a fire.
  • 8 of 16: There are other eggs in the beach area, as well.
  • 9 of 16: Look on the other side of the large stone archway, where many palm trees are growing.
  • 10 of 16: The first time you walk into this area, you should see a turtle slowly making its way back to the sea.
  • 11 of 16: Why would it have come this far up on land?
  • 12 of 16: Most likely, to bury its eggs.
  • 13 of 16: Check around (particularly noting the turtle's tracks in the sand), and you should find an area where the turtle's eggs are buried.
  • 14 of 16: As you had back toward the stone archway, stop before you get there and turn towards the water.
  • 15 of 16: Do you see another set of similar tracks?  Looks like another turtle may have buried some more eggs there recently.
  • 16 of 16: Click on each area to retrieve the turtle eggs (and anything else) buried there.
