Return to Mysterious Island Hints

Your most treasured belonging, all told...

  • 1 of 10: The full riddle is, "Your most treasured belonging, all told, is worth more than its weight in gold."
  • 2 of 10: You're looking for Captain Nemo's most treasured item in all of his possessions.
  • 3 of 10: And its value, compared to its size, is great -- almost immeasurable.
  • 4 of 10: However, the value is not in terms of any "market price", but in what the item means to Captain Nemo personally.
  • 5 of 10: To solve this riddle, you will need to have access to the Captain's safe.
  • 6 of 10: Remember that, as a renegade, traveling all over the world, he was seldom home.
  • 7 of 10: Which means that he rarely saw his family.
  • 8 of 10: It would be quite a treasure to remember them clearly -- something that, in 1860, was not an easy thing to do.
  • 9 of 10: But the good Captain had a way to remember his family.
  • 10 of 10: The answer to this riddle is the painting of Captain Nemo's family, inside the door of the safe.
