Return to Mysterious Island Hints
Where can I get a strong rope?
1 of 10: Isn't it fortunate that this is the stereotypical island with lots of vines growing everywhere?
2 of 10: You should have found a particularly long and useful one along one of the early paths on the island.
3 of 10: It is near the windmill, and not far from the scarecrow.
4 of 10: Look in the trees that are between the scarecrow, and the stairs going up to the windmill.
5 of 10: There is a long, heavy vine hanging from one of the trees.
6 of 10: But it is too high for you to reach...
7 of 10: ... even with anything from your inventory.
8 of 10: Good thing you've got a monkey for a friend!
9 of 10: Give your knife to Jep (combine in inventory), and click him on the high part of the vine. He'll run up and cut it for you.
10 of 10: The vines automatically become rope ladders in your inventory.
