Destination: Treasure Island Hints
How can I fire the cannon?
1 of 10: You can see the cannon's firing hole on top of it, near its crossbar.
2 of 10: However, you can't just use the lighter on the hole -- it's too dangerous.
3 of 10: You instead need to use a standard cannon-firing gimmick that's hanging on the wall nearby.
4 of 10: Look to the left of the cannon's left tackle system.
5 of 10: There's a wickless linstock hanging near the other window.
6 of 10: Before you can use it, you'll have to provide it with a wick.
7 of 10: The same stuff you used to give your lighter a new wick should work.
8 of 10: You have some leftover oakum, so use it on the linstock.
9 of 10: Then use your lighter on the linstock to get it burning.
10 of 10: Now you can pick it up and use it on the cannon's firing hole to fire your golden cannonball.
