Return to Mysterious Island Hints
How can I poison the monster?

2 of 16: If you've explored the island fully, you should have run across something that has been described as a "narcotic plant".
3 of 16: When you get to the ravine with the broken rope bridge, look on the ground to your left.
4 of 16: You should see ants eating a small dead animal.
5 of 16: Check out the plants behind the mouse.
6 of 16: Take the plants by cutting them with your knife.
7 of 16: Now how will you administer the narcotic to the monster?
8 of 16: It's obviously hungry; food is the best way to get the monster to "take the bait".
9 of 16: This monster won't be interested in most of the food items you might have in inventory.
10 of 16: It's looking for red meat.
11 of 16: The only thing that might suffice is the dead porcupine.
