Isle of the Dead
This walk thru will answer the questions on how to solve the puzzles
in this game. It does not include a map for the game.
TIPS:
1. Save often. This game has some time limitations towards the end
If you exceed the time limit, you may be forced to restart the game
from the beginning.
2. Pick up everything! Anytime you can pick up an item, do so. The
items will be used later in the game.
3. Carefully draw out the map. As you enter each section, bring up
the on screen map and make a note of where you exited the previous
map and where you ended up on the current map. Monsters are
generated each time you leave a map section. So, if you clear out a
map sector and return to it, the monsters will reappear. Undo
wandering can cause you to lose a large amount of ammunition.
4. Bringing up the inventory will freeze current time. Use this to
your advantage when fighting monsters. If you see your health points
drastically low, you can bring up the inventory and eat some
coconuts or bananas to increase health points.
AT THE PLANE:
1. Pick up the coat outside the plane entrance, inside of the coat
is a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
2. Pick up the wire cutters on the floor as you enter the door.
3. Enter the plane and turn to the right. Depending on which version
of the game you have, you will see either a bamboo cane or a
machete. This will be used to slash into various sections of the
forest.
4. Turn around and you will see a body laying on the ground, pick up
the book in the back pocket of the jeans. It is a language
translator.
5. Enter the cockpit. Pickup the flare gun. Use the wire cutters on
the wire by the compass and pick up the compass.
AT THE CAVE:
1. The cave is the first beach after the airplane. Exit the airplane
and go to the end of the beach. slash into the forest. A few steps
down, you can slash into the forest on the right and find a cave.
2. If you try to pick up the rifle, you will die. You will first
need to use the pliers on the thin wire at the bottom of the screen
to deactivate the bomb.
3. Turn to the right and you will see a rag and an oil can. Use the
oil on the rag, then use the oily rag on the rifle. This will allow
you to use the rifle without it blowing up in your face.
4. Check the crates for boxes of ammo.
FIRST CHIEFTAIN: (Smoking)
1. To enter the village, you will need the translator book that you
picked up on the airplane. Use this book on the natives guarding the
gate. You will also have to use the book on the chief to talk to
him.
2. Go thru the various huts until you find the Chieftain. You will
have to use the translator book on the Chief to talk to him. He will
tell you the story about the mad scientist. He will then send you to
find his brother another chieftain.
SECOND CHIEFTAIN:
1. He will complain to you about a pounding noise bugging him. If
you go through the compound, you will find a guy beating on some
drums. Kill him
2. For solving this problem, this Chieftain will give you a
medallion. This will be used to help open the Oracle doors.
FIRST CHIEFTAIN: (Smoking)
1. To obtain his medallion, look inside the coat that you picked up
outside of the airplane, you will find a pack of cigarettes. Give
him the pack of cigarettes, he will give you some bolt cutters for
the smokes, reach up and grab the medallion off his neck.
THE ORACLE:
1. To enter the Oracle you will need to see both Chieftains and get
a medallion from each Chief.
2. Place a medallion in each hole in the doors and the you will be
able to enter the Oracle.
3. The Oracle will require a sacrifice. In some of the caves, you
can kill a wolf like creature. Pick this creature up and you will
see it in your inventory. When you reach the oracle, enter and place
the wolf on the platform in the oracle. You will then get the uzi.
Note: Though the uzi is not required to finish this game, it makes a
big difference when you come try to kill the evil scientist. It is
extremely hard to kill the scientist without the uzi...only the best
players are able to do this.
THE COMPOUND
1. To enter the compound, you will have to follow the clue, "Starve
the Humming box." If you try to use the bolt cutters on the fence,
you will be electrocuted.
2. You will have to find a section of fence with a large gray
cylinder/tank behind it. Shoot the tank with the rifle and this will
turn off the electricity.
3. Use the bolt cutters on the locked gate on the scientist compound
to open.
THE SCIENTIST
1. When you enter the main compound, don't go into the buildings
right away. There is a large cache of ammunition on one side of the
compound. You will have to fight thru a large number of monsters to
get to this cache, but it is worth it if you are low on ammo.
2. SAVE your game before entering the building. This will give you
added insurance in case you are killed. Also, after killing the
scientist, you will have a time limit placed on you to finish the
game.
3. When you find the Scientist, he will turn himself into a monster.
Though we recommend using the uzi on him - he takes a lot of hit
points to kill - he can be killed with just the rifle.
4. After you exit the compound, enter the airplane and pick up the
life raft.
THE GIRL
1. After you kill the scientist, pick up the potion that he drops.
2. Take the girl and exit the building thru the back way. If you
delay at all, she will turn into a zombie and kill you.
3. Bring her to the oracle and you mix a potion. Use the following
ingredients to make the potion - flower, potion, crystal - in the
beaker. Use the potion on a syringe and give the antidote to the
girl. She's now healed.
ESCAPING THE ISLAND
1. There are two ways to get off the island. We will cover the easy
way.
2. You will have picked up the life raft in the scientists airplane.
Use the raft on the ocean and you will find yourself floating on the
ocean.
3. Use the flare gun that you picked up in your airplane.
You're FREE!
