Description

Recover the Lighthouse Keeper's Gunpowder is a side-quest in the Mysterious Island Quest. The Lighthouse Keeper needs your help retrieving barrels of gunpowder from Sonofa Beach.

The Lighthouse can initially only be accessed while wearing the Frat Warrior Fatigues. It becomes available while wearing the War Hippy Fatigues after a sufficient number of Frat warriors (64 or more) have been killed in The Battlefield.

Tasks

  • Talk to The Lighthouse Keeper.
  • Adventure in Sonofa Beach until you fight at least five lobsterfrogman. They are almost guaranteed to drop a barrel of gunpowder.
  • Easy as that sounds, it may take a while. Sonofa Beach is entirely non-combats, except for the lobsterfrogman. To speed things up, try boosting the frequency of combat adventures. Either way, it's going to take a while.
  • Once you have five barrels, return to the lighthouse. He'll disappear inside.
  • Go to the lighthouse again to finish this side-quest and get your reward.

Rewards

Text

Without wearing soldier fatigues:

"Sorry, but I don't have time to mess around with you right now. I'm waiting for the soldiers to come and help me, bumpty-bumpty-bump."

On initial visit with war fatigues:

Finally, some help, bumpty-bumpty-bump! Here I was, just minding my own business, trying to make the big boom, big boom, bumpty-bump, when all of a sudden war breaks out! War, bumpty-bumpty-bump! Those pirates, they went away, but on the way out of the cove they sank the ship that was bringing me my gunpowder! I need it! I need it for the big big boom, bumpty-bump!
Anyway, I tried going down to Sonofa Beach to see if any of it washed up, bumpty-bump, but those lobsterfrogmen down there are too tough for me to handle.
You -- you go get it for me, bumpty-bumpty-bump? 5 barrels, at least."

After bringing back five barrels:

"My gunpowder! Big boom! Big big boom! Thank you, bumpty-bumpty-bump! Bumpty-bump!"
He gazes at you thoughtfully for a few seconds, then a smile lights up his face and he says "My life... er... my bombs for you. My bombs for you, bumpty-bumpty-bump!"
He then disappears into the lighthouse.

Next visit:

"I took most of the bombs over to your house, bumpty-bumpty-bump, but there are a few left over. Big boom! Big boom!
As a Frat:
You acquire N tequila grenades
You acquire N molotov cocktail cocktails
or
You acquire N beer bombs
You acquire N sake bombers
As a Hippy:
You acquire N patchouli oil bombs
You acquire N exploding hackensacks

Once a day after completing the side-quest:

"Big boom, bumpty-bumpty-bump. Big big boom! Bring me some gunpowder, and I'll make it for you! Big boom for you, bumpty-bump!"

Returning without a soldier's fatigues on, or wearing the fatigues of the side you did not solve the quest as:

"The man giggles madly.
"I'm making the big boom, bumpty-bumpty-bump, but not for you! Not for you! You'll see, bumpty-bump! You'll see!"

Subsequent visits:

"I already gave you the big boom today, bumpty-bump! More tomorrow! More tomorrow!"

References

  • The Lighthouse Keeper is based on the "Trashcan Man," a character from Stephen King's The Stand with an explosives fixation. His exclamations of "bumpty-bump!" and "my bombs (life) for you!" are a reference to this character.
