This is the door at the bottom of the stairs, right?

You have to alternate the numbers and then the letters. For example click on 1, a set of letters appear. Find the letter that is in the word Nautilus. Click that letter. Then click 8, then a letter, click 6, then a letter, click 0 and the last letter.
This should open the door.

I am way back in the game having problems. I keep losing things in inventory so am asking is there alternative ways to make and use things. Right now I need sufuric acid. I remember getting a bottle but now it is gone so I have used it someway somewhere. Where I picked it up, there is no more of it and have not as yet found a way to make it.

Not sure whether I should give up and just follow a WT and keep inventory items and their use in some kind of order or whether I can continue "doing things my way".

Sure do hate to resort to a WT - am enjoying the game just picking up items and wandering around. When I get stuck trying to do something, I peek at the WT and it says to use something I no longer have, can not find or have problems making more of same. In this case it is sulfuric acid. I have sulphur and tried combining it with various things but so far no luck.

Before the inventory grew to such huge proportions it was not too much of a chore to just try everything. But things are getting quite complicated now and things are flying into combinations of several items so I lose tract of what I was trying to do in the first place. Grrrr

Any suggestions of a way I can better use my time in this game?

Thanks so much Mag. I got the door open but what do I do about the clay I need. Is there some way I can get it?

DL -

In case you still have that knife with a handle, you should take it apart. Without the handle, it will work in many more places.

As for the sulfuric acid; you can pick up some near the projector. In addition you can create some if you have some iron sulfate which is found in the shelter where the monkey was.

Dutch, you can leave the sub and go back to the area near where you found Jep and get some more clay.

It took me awhile to catch on to the inventory also. One thing I learned was that you had to have the knife in your hand to get the bamboo and some of the plants. Without the knife you weren't able to do anything when you passed the cursor over some of the plants. luck

Hi, Dutch!

Did you return Jep to his spot in your inventory? If one of your inventory items is active, you won't be able to talk to the robot in Captain Nemo's quarters.

When you click on the robot be sure that you do not have any inventory seen at top left of the screen. That means you are trying to use that inventory on the robot. Just click on the robot with the cursor with no inventory selected.

Tallo Ho : Unless I am going blind, could find no more sulphate at the hut where the monkey was. Been looking everywhere else but can't find sulphate. Any ideas? Can't make the battery without it.

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.

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. smile

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. smile

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.

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. smile

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.
