How do you get the pieces of the puzzle key on mission atlantis poptropica?

Answer 1

Episode 1: Into the Deep

Upon arriving on the island, you'll find that a filmmaker named Cam Jameson needs your help! Cam needs you to shoot underwater scenes for a movie he's making.

Click Start, and you'll automatically go talk to him. He'll give you his Sea Creature Files.

Open up the files, and inside you'll find information and pictures for various sea creatures. Read the info carefully, because they're clues on what to do. Here they are for reference (click to enlarge):

After reading the files, jump up to the top of the boat and talk to the guy with a beard and hard hat. He says you can't get the key yet - but wait, there's a bucket above his head! Get to it by scaring away the bird on the pole on the right side of the boat.

Now climb up. You can now jump to the ledge. Pick up the Empty Bucket!

Once you get the Empty Bucket, hop down and click on the octopus. He'll squirt some ink into the bucket and you'll now have a Bucket of Ink.

Climb to the ledge once more and use the Bucket of Ink while standing on the ledge. You will pour the ink all over the man with the key, and he will drop the key. You can then pick up his Key while he frets over his messy helmet.

Return to Cam Jameson (the director of the underwater movie), then hop over to the crate containing your "Bubble" submarine pod. Click it to open the lid, and then click once more to hop inside the sub.

Sea dragon

Once you are underwater, you can move around by dragging your mouse. The first creature that you need to find is the sea dragon, and it can be found in the area you're at right now. He's hiding in a patch of seaweed.

Make him come out by nudging him a bit, then click on him, and let your sub pod record some Sea Dragon footage. If he slips away, he'll just be on the other side of the area, hiding in a bush.

Stone fish

After you film the sea dragon, go near the bottom of the area you're in to go to the next one. This terrain is a little deeper, and whenever you hit a wall, the sound is outrageous, so be warned. ;)

The next fish you will need to find is the stone fish. He will be hiding on the bottom right of this area, but he won't show his face long enough to take a decent video. Hide in the seaweed next to him and wait for him to come out. You can then discreetly click to film the Stone Fish without him even knowing (although he's looking straight at you and you're shining light into his face :P ).

Cuttle fish

After you finish that illogical scenario, float up a bit until you find the cuttle fishes' hideout. There are multiple cuttle fish here, but you need to get footage of the rare purple one.

There is a problem, however, and your job will not be so easy. The purple cuttle fish only shows up in the red seaweed. There is only one purple cuttle fish, and only one red patch of seaweed. You have to guide it to the top, one patch at a time. Use the picture below if you need help on the arrangement of all the cuttle fish in order to snap footage of the purple Cuttle Fish.

Once you have him filmed, you can make your way to the left side of the area.

Barreleye fish

You will find a barreleye fish inside an underwater tunnel. (This thing looks like something from your nightmares!) You must clog various pipes in order to blow the fish along the tunnel and out the other side of it. The pipes are blowing out a strong gush of air, so don't get near the front of them - instead, near them from the side and then click, moving your sub close enough to clog them.

Here's a map with some arrows to help you out:

After you get some footage of the Barreleye Fish, continue to the next area.

Angler fish

You'll find the angler fish about halfway down this area, hiding in a little cave. You won't be able to get her to come out for very long, so swim around the area and collect tiny fish to swim around your boat. You need about 3 fish following you in order to successfully record the angler fish.

While collecting the fish, remember not to bump into the purple urchins that will scare away them away. When you've got about three fish following your boat, go back to the Angler Fish and let her eat the other fish while you record her.
