Return to Mysterious Island 2: Mina's Fate Walkthrough Guide

Storyline

Mina was able to contact the outside world at the end of Return to Mysterious Island. Now she awaits the arrival of her rescuers to get her and her pet monkey Jep off the island. However, the helicopter is brought down, and Mina and Jep are on their own, as they struggle to survive on the dangerous island.

Mina's Failed Rescue

After the crash, the helicopter is underwater and Jep has to rescue the unconscious Mina. Click to inflate Mina's life jacket and remove her seat belt. Do not open the hatch until those two tasks have been completed, or Mina will drown as Jep swims off to safety.

Walk away from the water and pick up the tree leaf. Right click to open your inventory. Click the leaf and then click on Jep's image. He will chew the leaf and you will now have a sponge. Use the sponge with water to bathe Jep when he is dirty.

Go forward, get the big tree branch. Go past the angry monkey Slugger. If you have attained the snake skin, you can use it to scare him away or wait until later.

Go to the mill. Click on the chest to get a stained rag and fish hook. Go to where clay is made and you will find a small tub of water. Wash the dirty clothe in the tub. You can also come back to this tub to clean Jep, just click on it and Jep will become clean in an instant.

Give the clean clothe to Mina. She will bandage her leg wound and rest. It is now time for Jep to go find something to eat to raise his energy level from orange to green.

Feed Jep

Go to the mud lake. Get the eggs, clay, and stick. You can't get the blue berries until later in the game. Walk to the scarecrow, get oranges and snakeskin.

Go to the clay making workshop, pick up the Ocarina and dried twigs.

Go to the monkey named Amber. Groom her and beg. You can now crack open the nuts to get some edible seeds. Stop the upswing of the rock when it reaches just above Jep's head. If you hit to soft it won't crack the nut, too hard and it will turn the nut to dust, you can also miss the nut completely and if you hit a wrong angle, the nut will fly away and hit Amber. You can play the game to get 10 nuts.

How to Raise Jep's Energy

Feed him the nut seeds, oranges, ants, berries, try to save the eggs for baking but you can use the egg to feed him as well. If you have Austral Thyme, you can place them on Jep's image to raise his energy. He has to be clean before he can wear the flowers.

With his energy in the green zone, return to Mina. She is sad, so she needs a hug from Jep. She will send Jep off to investigate a strange sound.

Missing Mina and the Big Cat

Go to the crossroads and visit the warm spring. One of Captain Nemo's robots will fly overhead. That was the strange noise. Run back to Mina before the robot spots you. Suddenly Mina screams. She has gone missing and there are only traces of blood.

Follow the blood trail until you reach the steps by the mill. Mina will speak to Jeb. Do not walk up the steps or Jep will be killed by the big cat (leopard, jaguar, panther). Go up the nearby tree and climb into the mill's open window.

Talk to Mina and then leave through the window. Pick up Mina's dirty bandage, and walk until you see a small broken bridge. Try to get the Austral Thyme and a snake comes out. Use the Ocarina to play a tune. When the snake sits up, click to get the plant and leave. Go to the lake where Mina went missing to clean the bandage, or back to the workshop to clean it in the water filled tub.

Go to the dead porcupine and the angry monkey is gone. Get the broken rifle and click on the right side of the porcupine carcass to get a blade of grass. Click on the porcupine to play a mini game. In this game, the ants are moving fast, you have to click on the ants to capture all 10. If the ants are moving too fast, you can press the smiley face to the right to slow them down, but it will cost you 10 pride points. Pride points are added to your game at the end to tally your final score. You have the choice to use them to make mini games easier or you can save them for a higher score.

With the ants in hand, go back to Mina through the mill's window. Give her the Austral Thyme, and the ants to start another mini game. Take an ant from the grass above the wound. Click the wound and then click again quickly to remove the head. Give Mina the clean bandage.

Jaguar and Hornets

Mina is fine but she cannot leave the mill until the panther, leopard, jaguar is gone. Make sure that Jep is dirty. You can tell by looking at his picture in the bottom left. If he has some white or gray stuff on him, he's dirty. If he is clean, you can go back to the swampy area where you took the mud from.

Go to the scarecrow and look up at the tree. Climb up to the hornet's nest. Use the stick to get the nest. Do not put it in the inventory or Jep will be stung to death. Take it to the jaguar and you will scare him away. Click on the nest on the floor to get a larva. Bathe Jep and go back to Mina. Click on her and use the option to sit on her shoulders. You will now play as Mina.

A robot appears and crashes. Leave the mill and head toward the crossroad to get to it. The robot is damaged and you must fix it to get some new information.

Fix Captain Nemo's Robot

Click on the panel to open it. You need four numbers to activate the robot. The code is the date that is listed: 1860. The code is simple:

1 = 1

8 = 2

6 = 3

0 = 4

All the other numbers = 0

With the robot activated, you still have to fix it, but you need a tool to remove the screws. Go to the lake where the game began. Jep is afraid to go, so Mina will dive by herself. Mina can only stay underwater for a short amount of time, move quickly.

Get the mussels, steel wire under nose of the plane. Go inside the plane and get the handle by passenger seat. Pick up the plastic covered envelope, knife, thread spool and three crawfish from the pilots back. Head to the surface. Do not go deeper under water or Mina will drown. Go back to the broken robot. Use the envelope over the dismantle icon to get a letter with the list of the helicopters cargo.

Use the knife to remove the robots screws. The circuits are fried and they have to be replaced. Head to the beach. As you go down the stairs, you will pass a sea turtle and see that the beach has changed since "Return to Mysterious Island 1". The beach is now flooded and you are unable to reach Granite House in this game. Look to the left of the screen and Mina will comment on the waterfall coming out of Granite House.

Pick up the broken bottle, can of gasoline, pipe, sextant sight, seaweed and wheat mixed with sand.

Go to the dead robot on the beach and open his panel. Use the knife to open the robot. Take his circuits. Head back up to fix the other robot. At the top of the steps you will find that the jaguar is back for round two. Make sure that you are below the trap before you fix it. Click on the metal mechanism on the wall to start a trap. Remove the screws with the knife.

Put the circuits from the dead robot into the board on the left. The lights on each side have to match each other so 1 light would go next to 1, 2 next to 2 lights and so forth. When the circuits are correct, the trap will start and it will hit the jaguar. Turn off the trap and go fix the robot.

To fix the robot, you will have to solve a puzzle similar to the one used on the trap, but it is much bigger. Match the number of lights and the robot will tell you what it knows. If you took the circuits from the trap, they will burn and disappear when placed on this new puzzle. All of the remaining circuits will go into this larger puzzle.

Among the many things that the robot will tell you, he leaves this clue: On the north plateau cliff, find the passage at an altitude of 340 feet. To the inlet and across the sanctuary. Up to the motor.

New Path: North Plateau

After the robot dies, a volcano bomb will crash onto the island. Go to the tree that held the scarecrow. A new passage can be accessed thanks to the bomb.

Jep has to cross this new swamp alone because Mina cannot risk an infection. Go into the swamp and then use the stick above you to knock down some blue fruit. Clean them later before they can be eaten.

Use the stick in the mud until you find a shallow area that Jep can stand on. Go into deep sand and Jep will drown. Look for areas that are whiter than others and poke it with the stick for a shallow path. Go forward on the shallow path three times to get to the other side. To get Mina on the other side, Jep will have to push the tree limb over. However, he needs more energy.

Use some of the food in your inventory or walk around the new area and pick up Tahitian Gardenias, bunch of oil palm fruits, honeycomb and water spinach. Bathe Jep and the dirty food. Each fruits and seeds. If Jep's energy is not in the green, put some flowers on him. Go back to the tree limb and push it over to rejoin with Mina.

New Sawmill

Go up the path until you find the sawmill. Push the metal cover on the floor to open a chest. Leonard the monkey will appear to rob you. A mini game will pop up and you will have to click on specific items before Leonard steals them. If he runs off with some items, you will get them back later.

Take the items from the chest when Leonard runs off. Get the document, weight, grindstone, chalk, red pigment and rusted ax. Turn to the saw mill. Remove the nail and saw. Put in the grindstone and replace the nail. Click the pedal to start the mill. Use the ax and saw on the grindstone to sharpen them. Take off the grindstone and put back the saw and nail. Next to the sawmill is a still. A similar one was used in the first Return to Mysterious Island game. Make note of the still for later.

Go up the next path and use the sharp ax to cut down some 21 foot trees. Pick up some of the wood and take them to the sawmill. Cut the pole down to 15 feet. You can also cut different sizes to use as firewood. Once a wood has been cut, you can pick up another 21 foot tree.

Go to the kiln. It is an area that holds some blacksmith tools like a hammer. Remove the sign and replace the post with the 15 foot pole. Open your inventory and combine these items to make a level. Use the knife to cut a piece of cord from the spool of string. Combine the cord, weight and sextant sight to make a level.

Use the level by moving it is right above the top of the 15 foot pole. Turn your view around, horizontally until you can see a bird on top of another post. Head to the sawmill. Use the level to find the bird. Move your view horizontally again, but do it slowly. When you see a movement in the bushes, stare at it for a few seconds and Mina will realize that a secret path is in that area. Dismantle the level to get back the sextant sight and other items. Go to the new passage, and Mina will announce that she is too weak to continue without energy. Like you did with Jep, find ways to move Mina's energy from the orange gauge to green.
