Return to Mysterious Island Hints
Where can I get a thruster?
1 of 7: To enter the Nautilus, you had to re-create Captain Nemo's crystal key.
2 of 7: To repair the key, you needed to obtain four crystals from the guardian robots.
3 of 7: To obtain the crystals, you had to destroy the robots.
4 of 7: Each robot you destroyed was powered by a thruster.
5 of 7: And almost every robot "shed" its thruster upon being destroyed.
6 of 7: You'll need to collect as many thrusters as you can find, because you're going to need them for different purposes.
7 of 7: For each robot you have destroyed, make sure that you have picked up its green thruster, and that it is in your inventory.
