How do you get to the hand on virus hunter island?

Answer 1

Virus Hunter Island is the 35th Poptropica Island, released on September 26, 2013. It involves a trip inside the human body to find and contain a dangerous virus. It was the first island designed for the New Scheme, including a larger play window, background sound, and sound effects. There was Early Access for paid monthly members on August 29, 2013. Unfortunately, not everything was working properly at that time.

***As of October 4, only those using Google Chrome could complete the island.

This solution contains all spoilers. A longer, more detailed solution is available at the related question, and a related link to a video walkthrough will be added soon.

Arriving on the Island - the PDC at work

1) Leave Main Street and go far right to the Waist Not fitness center. Pull on the resistance bands (blue tension bands) until it breaks.

2) Climb the bus stop cover, jump up to the nest, and USE the resistance band to grab the hook. Bert Shell, the conspiracy theorist, tells you about a suspicious van near the Condos.

3) Go left, jump the wall, and talk to the van driver. When he escapes, pick up the bag of shredded documents. Take them back to Bert on the roof.

4) Assemble the strips into 3 documents: the one you need is a blueprint of a secret PDC laboratory (The others are a script to use for covert operations, and a Pizza Delivery Company card.) Bert gives you a fake ID card to help you investigate.

5) Go right to the Video Store, and to the elevator in the back room. You meet Dr. Lange, who explains the threat of the new virus and gives you a camera.

6) Go far left to the Knaves Landing Condos. Enter and go through the discarded mail until you uncover the patient's name (Joe Stockman).

7) Go far right to the Falafel store. The owner is taking a lunch order to Globochem. Follow him back there and go in behind him.

8) On the top floor you find Joe. Pretend to mistake him for a celebrity and get a photo. Take it back to the video store/secret lab. Dr. Lange will show you their plan.

Nano-training and your mission inside Joe Stockman

9) Take the training for the Panacea X9700 to learn how to use the 4 tools:

- Laser scalpel to cut tissue and for attacking microbes

- ElectroBolt tool to stimulate nerves

- Coagulant shooter (green blobs) to stop internal bleeding

- Double-barreled gun to shoot attacking viruses

Select a tool by clicking the ship then the tool (you will want to click the ship edge or it may just turn instead). Press the spacebar to fire the electro-bolt, or coagulant, or gun. If your shield is damaged, you can use the scalpel or gun to break floating red blood cells to recharge it (blue dots). If your ship is destroyed, a new one will be regenerated and you restart that scene.

10) That evening, Joe swallows the Panacea, with you inside, in some Chinese food.

11) In the stomach, shoot stray viruses and use the coagulator to close an ulcer.

12) When Joe gets a splinter in his finger, travel to the hand to investigate. But antibodies strip away all the features of your ship (except the gun) and take them to various parts of Joe's body: the mouth, intestines, heart, arm, and brain.

13) Exit the hand (upper left) and go back to the stomach. Go up and left, out of the stomach, which is filling with grape soda. Go up the esophagus when it opens.

14) In the throat, leave the ship and ride some gas bubbles up to the mouth. Click the image that is floating near Joe's gold tooth. You recover the shield. Return to the ship and reenter the stomach.

15) Dive down and left through the liquid to exit from the stomach to the intestines.

16) In the intestines, avoid the drips of digestive juices as you use the gun to shoot away clumps of undigested food.

17) A virus boss attacks at the end, shoving a hooked tentacle out to hit you, Dodge it and shoot the hook with your gun. Continue until it is destroyed. You recover the laser scalpel. Use it to leave the intestines and travel to the heart.

18) The virus is in the heart valves, and attacks you with its hooks. Avoid them and fly between them to stab the virus with the laser scalpel. Stab and then pull back to avoid the hooks. It moves to three other locations. Finally, you beat it and it is destroyed by antibodies. You recover the coagulant.

19) Go back out the way you entered (you cannot go forward to the lungs yet). Leave the heart and go to the arm.

20) Use the coagulant to seal any tears as you move between the muscles. Avoid the spiked ridges. You cannot pass a bleeding tear until you have healed it.

21) In the second section of the arm, two viral eruptions release pairs of attackers. One eruption is at lower left and the other at upper middle. Kill the two erupted colonies with your gun, but you have to distract the attackers by using the coagulant to close the three tears at far right. The attackers go to reopen them. Destroy the lower left eruption, then repeat the upper middle one, then the attackers, and coagulate the three tears. You recover the electrobolt.

22) Exit left, leave the arm and go to the brain. Use the electrobolt to enter.

23) You will use the "charged" neuron at upper left to shock the boss, by creating a string of neurons to the one he is on. Press the spacebar to electrify the round end of a neuron, and drag it on its long stem to the larger "head" end of any other neuron close by. You have to switch between the electrobolt and the gun. Use the gun to shoot the attacking viruses launched by the larger boss in groups of four. Switch to the electrobolt to join neurons together. You create a chain from the "sparking" active neuron at far left, through a series of neurons, to reach the nerve that the boss virus is attached to. (You will do this 5 times. as he moves to a new spot.). When the boss is shocked the fifth time, you win. The antibodies attack and you recover the gravity core. You can now go to the lungs by way of the heart.

24) Leave the brain and travel to the heart, go all the way through and exit at upper right. You will face the final virus boss.

25) The huge four-armed virus is attacking the alveoli (the groups of "easter eggs" clustered on the walls), using one of its tubular arms. Shoot the arm until it dies (it takes between 10 and 20 hits) and the boss then moves from lung to lung. Repeat this for the other three arms. The virus is defeated.

26) Joe sneezes, propelling you out of his mouth and out of the ship. Dr. Lange and her assistant arrive to get a blood sample, so that a vaccine can be made from it. You receive the Island Medallion.

Bonus Quest (Paid Members Only)

You have to destroy the "weaponized heartworm" that was inadvertently left out to be eaten by the dog, Belle.

1) Get the petri dish that the dog's owner found.

2) Go to the lab (video store) and show Dr. Lange the Petri Dish from the trash.

3) Get some Falafel from the stand and take it to where the dog is sitting.

4) Enter the dog's mouth. Use the coagulator on the open cuts.

5) Shoot the two tails covering the esophagus (right) and trachea (lower left). Head into the esophagus to enter the digestive system.

6) Use the laser to cut through obstructions, and shoot the doggie treats to break them loose. Destroy all the green tails and exit at the lower left to the intestines.

7) In the intestines, use the electrobolt on the nerves to open the muscles and pass through. (You may have to double back to reach some of them.) When you reach the end, double back to the mouth to reach the lungs and heart. Enter the trachea at lower left.

8) In the lung, shoot the tails as they extend and avoid getting hit when they pop back out. New ones can come out of the same holes. When all are gone, enter the small slit at right (the pulmonary vein).

9) In the heart, you will face the boss heartworm. Each of its four segments will sprout two green tails that you have to shoot until they are destroyed.

10) Exit the mouth. The dog is cured and you receive the Flying Ace costume award.

FEATURES left out of quest: there are health problems that you can address for Joe in addition to the ulcer in his stomach. Although they are noted in the system advisories, apparently they do not have to be corrected. They are: "cavity" in a tooth, bleeding tear in brain, penny in intestines, heart arrhythmia, calcification in arm joint. You can travel back to fix them in some cases using the tools, but before going to the lungs.

MAJOR GLITCHES at release time:

* excessive load times between scenes

* browser incompatibility issues (including failure to load multiplayer room)

* right side of larger screen includes "dead space"

* costumizer not working, item bag requires two steps to open

* appearance: your character sometimes lacks a mouth, or keeps moving lips

* you may not receive a camera -- must restart island!

* if you enter the lungs before you have the gravity core, there is nothing to do, and you must try to get back to the heart by finding the point where you came in (lower right lung).

Answer 2

You arrive in the stomach and have to fight off viruses until you seal the ulcer (right side). Joe gets a splinter and you have to travel to his left hand. The passageway to the circulatory system is near the upper right of the stomach.
