Return to Mysterious Island Hints
How can I capture the snake?
1 of 10: A cage would be useful.
2 of 10: After you cross the rope bridge, you will find a broken cage on your right.
3 of 10: But the cage needs to be repaired before it can be used.
4 of 10: The cage looks to be made of wicker; that would be a good item to use to repair the cage.
5 of 10: You can get wicker from near where you picked up the small bamboo shoots. Look near the left side of the path, near the scarecrow.
6 of 10: Combine the wicker with the broken cage to get a repaired cage.
7 of 10: Now, you're not going to get the snake to just slither into the cage.
8 of 10: You'll need to restrict him in some way first.
9 of 10: Use a forked stick to pin his head down, so that you won't get bitten when you try to capture him.
10 of 10: Click the cage on the snake to capture the snake. (The forked stick will be returned to your inventory.)
