Title: Washed Ashore
Post by: paolo on Wed 26/09/2007 11:18:49
Unless I've overlooked it or the title is misspelled, I'm a bit surprised there is no hints and tips thread for Washed Ashore, especially as it was August's MAGS winner. Or maybe everyone found it really easy and didn't need any help?

Anyway, I'm stuck... any help would be appreciated.

Spoiler

I have four metal plates stuck together but need at least one more to make a bridge. One of these plates I got out of the stream with the makeshift fishing rod. As well as the four plates and the fishing rod, I have a sharp piece of steel, a handful of bolts, some rags and the communication thing.

The rags are fireproof, apparently, but I can't use them on the hot metal.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Well... usually, if you're stuck, you could always try using everything on everything. That should get you the hint what to do next  ;)

If you're seriously stuck, though...

You're right with the molten metal and the rags, but would you want to stick your hand in there? You're going to need some way to extend your reach.

Hint:
Spoiler

He doesn't have any hands... so how could he grab that key?

Another, more direct hint:
Spoiler

He'll need something you can attach to him that will enable him to pick it up.

Near solution:
Spoiler

That's a metallic key... what could be used to get a metallic key off a shelf?
