Destination: Treasure Island Hints

What can I do with the two pirate figurines?

  • 1 of 14: NOTE: Before you can have two figurines, you'll have to fix the broken statuette.
  • 2 of 14: Try putting the figurines on the two interactive spots to the right of the burned spot on the rocky shelf.
  • 3 of 14: They'll be placed so that it looks like they're fighting.
  • 4 of 14: That fits in with some of the lines in Long John Silver's enigma message, so check it for clues.
  • 5 of 14: It mentions attacking the pirates with a mallet, and hitting the hook, pegleg, dagger, and pistol.
  • 6 of 14: You got a mallet from the same package you got the oakum from.
  • 7 of 14: But you're not about to smash up the pirate figurines after you went to all the trouble to fix one of them.
  • 8 of 14: Look at the two enigma lines before the one that refers to using a mallet on the pirates.
  • 9 of 14: They say to set a flame dancing in the dead man's eyes, and to be bold and smite when the shadows fall.
  • 10 of 14: If you didn't light the fire inside Skull Rock to heat your resin earlier, light it now.
  • 11 of 14: After the fire is lit and the figurines are placed, notice the shadows they cast on the wall over to the right.
  • 12 of 14: Also notice that the wall is divided up into a 4 X 6 array of interactive squares.
  • 13 of 14: Apparently, you need to hit certain squares with the mallet.
  • 14 of 14: When you do it right, a secret compartment with a ram's horn in it will open near the pirate figurines.
