Journal Scraps are collectable pieces of a sailor's journal that can be found on Ginger Island. They contain clues about solving puzzles, collecting Golden Walnuts, and general information about the island.

Journal Scrap #1

Note

Day 1 …My ship is lost… Shattered by a tempest in the unforgiving sea. I find myself stranded now, on these strange shores. My crew has perished, but I still live. Perhaps lady luck has blessed these wicked bones of mine… Or has her own designs for my fate… At any rate, I’ve no choice but to make a life for myself here. There’s fresh water in abundance, food to forage, and fertile soil to work. First I’ll build a shelter…

Journal Scrap #2

Note
Day 6 I won’t go hungry here… the waters are full of edible (nay, delicious) fish. I even caught a stingray in the caves by the southeast shore. I haven’t a clue what to do with it, though! The other day, I even fished up a couple of Golden Walnuts. They seem to be all over the island. The local parrots go crazy for them.

Details
Journal Scrap #2 explains the Golden Walnuts on the island, which can be used as a currency for Parrots.

Journal Scrap #3

Note

Day 14 After half a month on this island, I’ve learned a thing or two about finding these golden nuts. One must keep their eyes peeled for subtle clues. If something looks unusual, there may be a hidden nut nearby. I’ve noticed signs in the sand… and signs in the leaves… I even saw a nut up in a tree near the volcano. If only I had a way of shooting it down… Whenever I’ve spotted a nut plant, I’ve always found a way to reach it.

Solution
The Slingshot can be used to shoot down and collect a Golden Walnut on the right side of the Volcano}.

Journal Scrap #5

Note

Day 23 The local volcano holds many secrets. I've seen little men with glowing eyes, skittering about in the dark... like cats in the night. (could these be the fabled dwarf-men mentioned by M. Jasper in his 'Famous Journeys'?) Strange machines, too. Uncanny... not like anything known to man. At the top, I found a passage to the caldera of the volcano. And, half submerged in the bubbling lava, a peculiar machine... a kind of "forge". I'll investigate further tomorrow.

Solution
Floor 10 of the {Volcano} has a forge that can be used to enhance tools.
