Return to Mysterious Island Hints
A Weapon
1 of 7: There are two different kinds of weapons -- those that are intended to annoy or incapacitate, and those which are intended to kill.
2 of 7: Some will be readily available as-is, while others will need extensive combinations of items to create a final product.
3 of 7: Ideas of some weapons that can be created include slingshot, bow and arrows, gun, cannon.
4 of 7: The simpler weapons require a complete creation of the weapon itself, usually from basic parts (e.g., making a bow from a stick and some string).
5 of 7: The deadlier weapons typically exist already, but usually require you to create their "means of propulsion" (e.g., powder, dynamite, nitroglycerine, etc.)
6 of 7: Creating some of these will require a certain degree of knowledge of chemistry.
7 of 7: Remember that when you combine items in inventory, if it CAN be combined with something else, you will usually see an "equation" in the combining tray, noting how many other items are necessary to complete the combination. Use this information as a hint when you are working with combining items.
