El Vibrato Island guide
This page is to help you unravel they mystery of El Vibrato Island.
Getting to the Island
To get to El Vibrato Island, you must obtain and use an El Vibrato trapezoid, which sets up A Shimmering Portal at your campground.
- Adventure at the Poop Deck until you get the adventure "O Cap'm, My Cap'm"
- Choose to sail to any one of these 3 locations: (59,10), (86,40) or (48,47). You should obtain an El Vibrato power sphere.
- Keep adventuring until you get O Cap'm, My Cap'm again, and this time, sail to (63,29). Your sphere will be consumed and you will receive an El Vibrato trapezoid.
- Use the trapezoid to set up the shimmering portal at your campground.
Recharging the Portal
The portal is initially good for 20 trips to El Vibrato Island. After that, you need to obtain more El Vibrato power spheres to keep it powered. More spheres can be found by sailing to any of these coordinates: (59,10), (86,40) or (48,47). Each sphere is good for 5 more adventures in the portal. While adventuring at the portal, you can also acquire Overcharged El Vibrato power spheres, which will keep the portal charged for 10 adventures.
Punchcards
As you adventure at the island, you will fight constructs which drop punchcards. You can use the punchcards to "reprogram" the constructs and order them to do useful things.
List of Punchcards and Their Corresponding Command
- El Vibrato punchcard (115 holes) - Command ATTACK
- El Vibrato punchcard (97 holes) - Command REPAIR
- El Vibrato punchcard (129 holes) - Command BUFF
- El Vibrato punchcard (213 holes) - Command MODIFY

Note that the last card is only obtained by giving a special order to a hulking construct, more on this in a minute.
Ordering the Constructs Around
Giving a command to a construct works by using two punchcards in combat against one in the correct order. each punchcard is either an action (ATTACK, REPAIR, BUFF, MODIFY or BUILD) or a target (TARGET, SELF, FLOOR, DRONE, WALL or SPHERE). Each action you make a construct do is done by using a command card and then a target card. Here is a summary of each construct and the commands you can give it:
- BUFF DRONE With a repaired El Vibrato drone in inventory: obtain an augmented El Vibrato drone
- BUFF TARGET: Gain 10 rounds of the buff Fitter, Happier.
- REPAIR TARGET: The construct heals you.
- REPAIR SELF: The construct heals itself.
- ATTACK FLOOR: You beat the construct and get some punchcards
- ATTACK WALL: You beat the construct and get some punchcards, with a chance to get some of the rare 104 holed cards.
- ATTACK SELF: You beat the construct (no punchcards are obtained).
- ATTACK TARGET: The construct kills you.
- BUFF FLOOR: The construct buffs the floor to a mirror sheen.
- BUFF TARGET: The construct buffs you to a mirror, doing 20 damage to you in the process.
- MODIFY SPHERE with an El Vibrato power sphere in inventory: Gain an overcharged El Vibrato power sphere.
- REPAIR DRONE, with a broken El Vibrato drone in inventory: Gain a repaired El Vibrato drone
- REPAIR SELF: The construct tightens some of its bolts.
- [El Vibrato punchcard (97 holes)|REPAIR]] TARGET: The construct tightens some of your bolts, doing some damage to you.
- BUILD DRONE: Get an El Vibrato drone.
- BUILD TARGET: The construct makes a statue of you.
- MODIFY DRONE with an El Vibrato drone in inventory: The construct breaks the drone and you acquire a broken El Vibrato drone.
- MODIFY SPHERE with an El Vibrato power sphere in inventory:
- The first time, you gain an El Vibrato helmet.
- The second time, you gain an El Vibrato energy spear.
- The third time, and each time therafter you gan a pair of El Vibrato leg guards.
