Q:How do I get through the first cave to the cockpit?
A1:
You need to trade with Locke to get 2 torches so you can have a light source to keep the black smoke from getting you. Then just walk towards the lighted areas of the cave. -Answer by:Toebin
A2:
Or you could trade with that one guy before the cave. And make sure you trade 2 torches because there's another torch in the cave.
A3:
Also you can buy the oil lamp from Sawyer on the beach. He also sells replacement oil. You can take the oil lamp through water. Don't worry about Money. Once you get to the hatch you will load up on tradable goods. KM
Q:After purchasing torches from Locke how do you select them to use in the cave? the only thing I have available is the lighter
A1:
You have to trade with him and get 2 torches. That is like 2 water bottles and 5 coconuts. Then press the Up button on your controller. Select the torch then when you exit the inventory, press square. Also, turn them off when you are going through those sand or waterfalls.
There are numbers written on the fuse box (visible while doing the puzzle), you need to place fuses in the right way so that the 2 (or 3?) meters are the same as the numbers written on the fuse box. -Answer by:Toebin
