THE POPTROPICA GUIDES - ISSUE 1 - EARLY POPTROPICA
INTRO
Hello and welcome to the Poptropica Guides. In the Poptropica Guides, you'll learn how to
complete the islands easily and quickly. There is also bonus information and alternate
routes if needed. Issue One will talk about the first island, Early Poptropica Island.
Note: Many "alerts" are found throughout the guide. One of those many "alerts" is a
Without a Guide. The Without a Guides will tell you many things not noted in the real
guide, and how what you're supposed to do is hinted.
GUIDE
PART 1: THE OLD PART OF TOWN
Go into Early Poptropica if you are not already on it. When entering Early Poptropica, you
will unlock the area "Main Street" on your map. Main Street has three villagers, an art
museum, a leaking water tower, and two common rooms: the Soda Pop Shop and the arcade. One
of the citizens will say that the old part of town is having trouble. This refers to Early
Poptropica. Go right to enter "The Old Part of Town". The area "Early Poptropica" will be
unlocked on your map. In Early Poptropica, all the citizens are pixelated and are similar
to the Pilgrims. In Early Poptropica, there should be exactly five citizens. Talk to the
third Early Poptropican. He will say that a nasty old spider stole his prized pig. The
fourth Early Poptropican can be located behind the third one. Talking to him will reveal
that someone stole their water bucket. Next to the fourth villager is a rope. Climb up the
rope to find the fifth Early Poptropican. Talking to him, it is revealed that the signal
flag that tells boats that they could come is missing! It is up to you to find the three
items: the pig, the bucket, and the signal flag.
PART 2: GLOWSTICKS ARE COOL
Jump off of the tower that the fifth villager is on and head into the well. Entering the
well will reveal the area "Storage Cavern" on your map. Near the entrance/exit is a box.
If you push the box down it will put weight onto a seesaw-like platform. Put the box in
the center of the platform. This will allow you to jump to another seesaw-like platform.
Basically you have to do the same thing with this platform as you did with the first. The
box is above a rope located above the first seesaw platform. The difference from the
second platform from the first is that you must put the box on the right side of the
platform. This will allow you to jump onto a third seesaw-like platform. Luckily, you do
not need a box for this platform. Now go onto an immobile wooden platform and keep jumping
up until you reach the item "Glow Stick". Now exit the well.
WITHOUT A GUIDE: If you go all the way down in the Storage Cavern, you could find a diver.
Talking to him will reveal that a glowstick can be found near the top left of the cavern.
PART 3: AFRAID OF SPIDERS
Now go to Main Street and enter the sewers. This will lead into an area called "The Pit".
In The Pit is a girl who will tell you that hopefully you're not afraid of spiders. Going
down The Pit, many spiders can be found. Luckily they can be easily dodged, and they
cannot really harm you as in Poptropica, you cannot lose health or die, with an exception
of most boss fights and some mini games. If you go all the way down, you can find a large,
ugly, green spider guarding the stolen pig. You can easily dodge the spider by jumping
over it or going around it to obtain your prize: "The Prized Porker".
PART 4: DEAD ENDS
There is another accessible cavern that you can go in from the left of The Pit. You can
enter the cave by going through the sewer of "Poptropica Towers" or simply going through
the entrance in The Pit. This area is called "Dark Room". Normally this room is very dark,
but since you have your glowstick, there is a light coming from you. The Dark Room is a
large maze, but it is pretty easy. There are many vines found throughout the maze and a
ton of writing on the wall, including "Dead End" and "Wrong Way". Somewhere in the heart
of the maze, you should find a "Golden Egg". This is the only item you need from the Dark
Room. Now go all the way up and go up the vine leading to Poptropica Towers.
PART 5: YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW
The area above the Dark Room is "Poptropica Towers". It is left of Main Street. In the
Poptropica Towers, you must go up the rightmost building and go across every building till
you reach the top of the last building, which is a rooftop restaurant. There is also a
vine here. Go up the vine to go into the clouds. The area the vine leads to is literally
above the clouds. The area is called "The Purple Giant". The reason for that is a purple
giant reside here. He is blocking your path with his club and you must give him his stolen
Golden Egg. Luckily, you have the Golden Egg from the Dark Room, so the giant will allow
you to pass.
PART 6: FLY HIGH
The area located right of The Purple Giant is called "Giant's Garden". Many giant foods
are located here, including a tomato, pumpkin, and watermelon. All you have to do here is
go right to pick up the "Water Bucket". Now go right again to head into "Aircraft
Graveyard". Going right will be an airplane with spinning propellors. The propellors will
allow you to glide. Fly above a rocket to get the item "Jetpack". The jetpack will be put
on your back immediately and you can now officially fly. Go back to the Giant's Garden and
fly above the giant spade, making sure you don't fly onto the above vine. There is an exit
behind the spade which leads to the top of the water tower in Main Street. The item
"Signal Flag" is up here! Now you have all three items.
ALTERNATE ROUTE: An alternate route to get to the Signal Flag is to head back the normal
way and go into Poptropica Towers. Then go right to Main Street and fly to the top of the
water tower with your jetpack. Either way, you get what you need.
PART 7: THE END OF THE LINE
Head back to Early Poptropica and talk to the third Early Poptropican. You will return the
pig. Now talk to the fourth Early Poptropican. You will return the bucket. Then talk to
the fifth Early Poptropican to return the flag. Now go right to find a ship docked at the
harbor. The flag made it come here! Talk to the Early Poptropican on the ship and he will
give you the "Early Poptropica Medallion".
ALTERNATE ROUTE: There is a possible chance that the boat will not be there right away. To
make it appear, simply head to Main Street and back to Early Poptropica. The ship should
be there. If it is still not there, try another time. If it's still not there, try it one
final time. If it's still not there, just give up. Restart the island by pressing "Restart
Island" on your map screen. Just do the island over again, it's not that hard.

FOR FUN
BOUNCING ON THE CLOTHES LINES
In Poptropica Towers, you can bounce on the clothes lines connecting the buildings. This
is noted by a skateboarder that is on the surface.
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SKIN?
In Poptropica Towers, there is a balloon man selling five balloons. Clicking on the
balloons changes your skin color. Your original skin color is always the balloon on the
bottom left.
BURNING
In Early Poptropica, touching the fire near the entrance recieves a comment from your
player. The player says that the fire is hot. Wasn't that a bit obvious?
JACK AND THE BEANSTALK
In Early Poptropica, you climb a vine to head to a purple giant who wants a stolen golden
egg. A castle can be found in the background. This is all a reference to the popular kids'
story Jack and the Beanstalk.
HIDDEN COSTUMES
HYPNOTIZER
A hidden "Hypnotizer" costume is found in Early Poptropica. The location will not be
stated in the guide, but we'll tell you this: It is located in Poptropica Towers by
clicking a certain window pane.
