Return to Mysterious Island Hints
What am I supposed to do with the robot who is demanding identification?
1 of 7: It is highly recommended to save your game as soon as you reach Captain Nemo's quarters.
2 of 7: Once you enter Captain Nemo's quarters, you have two choices.
3 of 7: You can move toward the robot, in which case it will demand that you identify yourself. This moves you into a fairly lengthy and involved puzzle.
4 of 7: Or you can decline to identify yourself, and move left as you enter the room. This allows you to explore around the room a bit, and see what is there.
5 of 7: It will be impossible to solve the puzzles that are necessary to confirm your identity to the robot, unless you have already spent some time exploring the room.
6 of 7: The best choice is to explore the room first, gathering as much information as you can. And then confront the guardian robot afterwards.
7 of 7: Once your identify has been confirmed, the robot will accede to your request, and raise the shields for the island. Sit back and enjoy the end game cut-scene.
