Return to Mysterious Island Hints
Where can I find the piece of rusty metal?
1 of 8: This one will take more than just looking. You'll need to do something to get it.
2 of 8: Look around the beach area for a rotted-out shell of a boat.
3 of 8: Note the piece of metal attached to the bow of the boat.
4 of 8: It's fastened securely in place. You'll need to find a way to get it off of there.
5 of 8: You don't really have any tools, but maybe the wood is so rotten that it wouldn't take much to break it apart.
6 of 8: Use a rock on the piece of metal, to shatter that spar from the boat.
7 of 8: You can find the rock near the fire pit, in the cave on the left side of the passage that leads between the two cliff faces.
8 of 8: Smash the rusty metal with the sandstone, and pick up the pieces.
