I'm in a round room, and Esher is sending me through a door.I'm starting this age, and someone named Esher wants me to look for a hole.ĭoes he seem particularly threatening to you?.The globe doesn't look particularly solid. What should I do with the large globe or "soap bubble" here?.You've probably noticed that there are lots of doors out of this room. How do I get out of the room where I first arrived?.The plot will become clearer to you as you do more. The start of every Myst game is intended to be a bit of a mystery - so you may just want to focus on exploring. Where am I at the start of the game, and what's my purpose?.Do I have to play the ages in any specific order?Īt the start of the game, you will, but that's just because you'll need to solve a few puzzles before you'll have the means to travel to other ages.If you still haven't completed all four main ages, now would be a good time to move on and finish a different age. What should I do when I'm finished with an age?.If any question within a particular age's section looks unfamiliar, read those hints to see what you may be missing, because virtually every puzzle in the game has a purpose. See the hints for whichever age you're in to figure out what puzzles you have left. Can I leave and return to Direbo?įirst, you need to solve all of the available puzzles in that age. That's what I'm referring to in the hints you're reading now. However, there is one common numbering system used in several places, where each number is drawn in a sort of box. I'll cover those different kinds of numbers in the appropriate sections of the hints. There are actually several different numbering systems that you may see, some of them specific to particular puzzles. What are the numbers I see in the various ages?.I've covered those in a separate set of hints - the pedestals I'm talking about are the ones you'll see in Direbo and the ages that follow from there.

What is the purpose of the pedestals in each of the ages?įirst, in the Great Shaft, you may find some pedestals that hold linking books, with pictures on their right-hand side.As you start visiting additional places, you'll learn more about the slates in the context of the game. First, you may want to wait a bit until you've progressed through the first couple of ages before reading on.
