What is the walkthrough for SOS island?

Answer 1

SOS Island is the 24th island of Poptropica. The members full version and demo version was released on January 26, 2012. The object is to rescue trapped survivors from a sinking cruise ship. There is an additional short quest for Poptropica's paid monthly members only, but it is primarily a costume game.

This is the simplified list of steps to complete the quest. For more details and background, see the solution at the related question below. This contains spoilers. When underwater, get extra oxygen from large bubbles, or anywhere you see streams of bubbles.

The cruise ship is the Pequod, sailing in Arctic waters. Some of the crew and passengers are still aboard while others have safely abandoned ship.

First rescue

1. Enter the ship by breaking the ice block at the forward door. To do this, swim over and climb up the lifeboats at the left side, cross the top deck, and shove the round ice chunk down to break the block.

2. Enter the ship, then go up to the next deck, the bridge, where the Captain will tell you how to unlock the automatic doors. Turn the lever he indicates.

3. Go back down to the hallway, and to cabin 6, which is now unlocked. Go inside and talk to the Whale Fan kid and take him back out to the surface. He gives you his Whale Song device (creates various sounds to call whales).

Second Rescue

4. Leave the rescue camp and swim to enter the ship again. Go down the hallway, push the floating crate away and enter the Ballroom.

5. Pick up the champagne bottle and climb onto a floating chair at the right side. Fire the champagne cork at the weak part of the glass pane (aim, hold mouse button down, and release at the maximum power).

6. Cross to the left and repeat this with the other glass pane. The Tour Director is now on the raft, which you can push (while swimming) left to the exit door.

Third Rescue (Ship is bow down)

7. Climb the antenna, ropes and porthole covers to reach the smashed stern of the ship (top) and enter through the hole. You can bounce on the umbrellas.

8. Fall to the bottom (was right side) of the hallway, and turn the valve at right to let more water in. The crate will float up revealing an open vent to the Ballroom.

9. In the ballroom, swim up to the surface for air, avoiding the stinging jellyfish. Climb the columns, rails, and bar to reach the pipes at upper left.

10. Beginning from the first open pipe, turn each swivel valve to direct the steam through closed pipes until it reaches the expansion joint at the upper left, which explodes. Enter the Boiler Room.

11. Climb the center section to the upper right, and avoid the steam there. The Engineer will show you how to stop the steam: she turns the Green valve, which is connected to another valve at the far left. Go there and turn that valve. 12. Repeat the process for the other three pairs of valves:

Blue : middle right and then lower left

Orange : bottom right and then middle left

Red : bottom left and then middle left

13. Climb up and convince the Engineer to leave the ship. She gives you her pipe wrench.

Fourth Rescue (Ship going down by the bow)

14. Enter through the hole again, and into the Boiler Room. Avoid the steam and head right, where you push the large pile of broken machinery off the platforms until it plummets into the water at bottom right.

15. Swim left and shove the fallen propeller down the hole into the ballroom.

16. Cross right and exit into the Hallway.

17. Use the lights to climb to the top of the hallway (was the left end) and to the open vent.

18. In the Galley, find the chef frozen in his freezer. Break the boxes and push the big block he's in out into the passageway.

19. In the lower galley, shove his block to reach the heater at the bottom. You will have to push the first wooden crate ahead of him to the first junction, and just ONE crate and a lettuce box at the second junction (you can slide him past a crate or just go first and get rid of one crate). You can go up and down on the side pipes.

20. The heater thaws the chef and you exit.

Fifth Rescue (Ship upside down)

21. Enter the ship (very easy now) and cross the Boiler Room (go down and right, then left, then up, avoiding the big fish).

22. Swim across the middle of the ballroom to the vent at the upper left (avoid streams of steam bubbles, and stinging jellyfish, but collect large air bubbles).

23. In the Hallway, go right to the other vent.

24. Swim left down the twisted passageway while avoiding the hermit crabs. The easiest path is to stay at the top twice, then go down and back up to the exit at upper left. There are air bubbles along the way.

25. On the bridge, swim to reach the Captain without hitting any sparks or either of the giant crabs. The proper way is to wait and slip past the first crab directly below you -- the other path is blocked by sparks.

26. After the Captain admits his lie, use the Wrench to turn the Whale Song device 1/4 turn to the right, to the White Whale setting.

27. The Whale breaks into the bridge and swallows you and the Captain, but then pops you out on the surface through his blowhole. The Captain awards you the Island Medallion.

Special Quest for Paid Members Only (not extremely special)

* Using the HazMat Diving Suit, enter the sunken ship and vacuum up the leaking oil. There are 11 leaks, 2 in four of the spaces and 3 in the long one (no hermit crabs). The difficult leaks are in the Ballroom, where there is no place to stand while clicking to extract the oil.
