Return to Mysterious Island Hints
Where will I find bricks?
1 of 14: You won't find them -- as bricks.
2 of 14: What are bricks made of?
3 of 14: A common material for making bricks is clay.
4 of 14: Look around to see if you can find any clay that you can retrieve.
5 of 14: Now, you'll need something to put the clay into.
6 of 14: Wouldn't it be nice if you just happened to run across a brick mold somewhere?
7 of 14: If you look around the area below the windmill, where the original stairs have been broken, you will find a brick mold lying on one of the bottom steps.
8 of 14: (Later, when you have progressed further, you will also find a brick mold on a work table near the kiln.)
9 of 14: Combine the clay and the brick mold in inventory.
10 of 14: You now have "unfired brick" -- which should give you a clue as to what to do next.
11 of 14: You'll need to find a way to fire the clay into a usable brick.
12 of 14: At this point, you already have at least one fire.
13 of 14: Return to the small cave down by the beach, and use the fire there to fire the bricks.
14 of 14: Once you have fired the bricks, you will find two loads of bricks in your inventory. (Isn't Mina a heck of a woman, to be carrying all of this around?!?)
