Where to find the Cable and the Cogwheel in Luma Island

Getting to the Mountain is essential if you want to explore the Jungle on Luma Island. The only way to get up the snowy mountain range is by cable car, found in the center of Town. Unfortunately, the cable car broke down after an earthquake, and it is up to you to repair it. Aside from basic craftable resources, you need to get a Cogwheel and a special Cable.

The easiest of these two items to get hold of is the Cable. You can purchase this from the Store in Town. If you haven’t repaired the Store yet, you can do so in two stages with various resources. You should purchase the Cable for 20,000 Coins as soon as the Store is open.

  • Store Repair 1–
    • 5x Forest Planks
    • 5x Fiber
  • Store Repair 2 –
    • 15x Forest Stone Blocks
    • 5x Forest Planks
    • 5x Iron Bar
    • 25x Glass

To find the Cog, you should explore the Forest region. To unlock this location, just repair the bridge to the right of the Town entrance. There are many enemies along the way, so make sure you have your whip to hand to fight them off and pick up any resources you drop if they hit you.
