Duh!!again!!that is what I was doing. Thanks all for your help.'

DL, you don't need sulphate to make a battery. You can combine a clean cloth, lemon, some bamboo, silver and copper coins.
But there is some sulfur on a shelf at the far dark end of the cave, near where the ladder is to climb down to go to the sub.

How can I make a candle so as to see in the cave?

Jorja

Hello Jorja. To make a candle you need seal fat and wicks from the trunk in Granite house.
Have fun playing this game.

Sue: I am peeking at a WT and it claims to make the volta battery you need just what you said. However, re the WT - to make the Becquerel Battery you need nitric acid which is made by comining sulfuric acid and saltpeter. Found place where I can get all saltpeter I want but there is no more sulfuric acid on that shelf in the dark room. Remember getting a bottle from there the first time but do not remember what I used it for.

I guess I will have to keep better notes when I combine something with something so I know where things go. I clearly remember that little bottle of sulphuric acid but it is long gone now - wonder what in the world I did with it:)

PS - to Sue. Have been looking for sulphate as I think that is what I could use to make acid - but cannot find suphate either. Tally Ho thought it was in the hut with the monkey and it seems to me I did pick up some there but can no longer find that there either.

So until a hint/nudge etc. comes through I just keep wandering around the whole island looking for a place to get some sulphate/sulphuric acid.

DL,

If you're trying to make sulfuric acid for ammunitions and can't find any - there are several possibilities for ammunitions. So you don't need it, if you've already used it.

Hopefully, you used what you had making nitric acid.

DL--
You probably know this, but it took me awhile to figure out when I was playing. You can uncombine inventory items that you combined.

Have fun, it's a great game.

Finally able to make two batteries and got the encyclopedia going. From here have been combining things like mad - some from "thinking guess work" and others from the WT. So off and running at long last.

WT section now involves the cavern with the little lake in it -so off on my own for awhile to wander around and see what kind of trouble I can get into:)

Thanks to all for the hints and nudges thus far.

I buried Captain Nemo got the pearl and the coconut.Went back to cave and the physco monkey throws the rope ladder down.Tried giving it to jeb to take back up and he wants to beat him with his club.tried throwing things at him but no good.Any ideas on what to try. <img border="0" alt="[holidays]" title="" src="graemlins/holidays.gif" />

Hi smitty,
Just take the rop ladder. There's a back entrance to the Granite House via the lake (water) area.
There's a brick wall that you can use a pickaxe on.
You need light there. You will meet the baddie monkey there too.

Happy Holidays Gameboomers...

I had hoped I could proceed without a snag but I
I've hit my first one...
I have combined Jeb with a rope ladder and
clicked on the post with a rope [in fact I've
clicked on every post in sight]...

...and all Mina will say is "yould need to be a
monkey to get up there"...
I don't think I missed anything but then again...
Need a clue...please! SOLVER

<img border="0" alt="[holidays]" title="" src="graemlins/holidays.gif" /> to you too, Solver!

When you combine Jeb and other article, did you click on the combined Jeb and then exit the inventory frame to use him?

You use him like any other item, he should show up at top left of the screen and then click on the item you want to use him (+inventory) on.

Keep us posted.

Marita...

I don't know how you do it...but I read your
reply...don't quite understand what your saying
but I'll be darned if it doesn't work out...

I'm moving on...please don't go too far away...
Thank you so much...SOLVER

Well, I'm stuck! I was doing pretty good till now, at least I think I was!

I have the formula for the battery for the phone, but for the life of me, I can figure out what to do! I peeked at the WT and that only confused me more!

I used up my lemons, so I have to make the harder one, if there is anyone out there who has made it, could ya help me out?
