Return to Mysterious Island Hints
How can I get any water?
1 of 6: There's plenty of water around. The question is how to hold it.
2 of 6: You'll need something to carry the water in.
3 of 6: And, as with everything else around here, you won't find anything suitable just lying around.
4 of 6: You'll have to fashion something yourself.
5 of 6: Go to the lake area (at the opposite side of the island from the beach where Mina first landed), and click the pot on an active area of the water to collect a pot full of water.
6 of 6: (This is the area that can be reached starting from the original log pile, moving forward to the first intersection, and turning right. Then move down that path to the next intersection, and turn left, and walk forward past a red maple tree. The water is accessible at the far right side of this beach area.)
