Return to Mysterious Island Hints
How can Mina cook her food?
1 of 13: Most of the food that Mina will find shows, when you look at it in inventory, that it is "inedible raw".
2 of 13: Looks like you'll need to build a fire!
3 of 13: Look around for items that might help you build a fire.
4 of 13: The game provides enough items so that there is more than one way of building a fire.
6 of 13: Combine appropriate materials in the inventory, to get a small fire.
7 of 13: Next, decide where to locate the fire.
8 of 13: It looks as though there is one spot that someone has already used for that very purpose.
9 of 13: Look along the path that leads away from the beach.
10 of 13: Check out the small cave on the left-hand side (facing away from the beach).
11 of 13: Place the fire from inventory onto the floor of the cave.
12 of 13: Note: this fire will die down from time to time. However, simply returning to the cave, and moving into a close-up view of the fire will cause Mina to "blow" on the fire, which will revive it once again.
13 of 13: Take any food that needs to be cooked, and click it on the fire. Watch Mina eat!
