START OF MYST This is a bare bones walk through of the start of Myst, and includes information on the Library and Tower. Not all details are covered, but the main points required for discovering the clues to the Myst books on the island are included. You arrive on the island at the dock. Follow the dock to the end by the switch, go up the stairs and turn left. Follow the path to the stairs at the end. Turn right and go up the stairs. You will find a note on the grass in front of the round granite building. The note tells you about a chamber near the dock and what to do there. You need to know how many marker switches are on the island. The switch at the end of the dock was a marker switch and they all look the same. Explore the island and count the switches, turning them "on" as you go. You should be able to turn on all but one of the switches. One is located in a place you cannot get to yet, but you can see it. Return to the dock and look for a small door near where you first entered Myst. Clicking on the door will open it. Follow the corridor to a chamber. In the chamber is a large round device with a button on it. Turn until you are facing back toward the stairs and notice the small panel to the left of the stairway. Click on it to move closer. There is a list of settings on the panel, and a small button in the top left corner. Pressing the button causes the panel to open, revealing two numbers in windows and two sets of small up and down arrow buttons. Clicking on the arrow buttons allows you to set the two digit number in the windows. Set the two digit number to the number of marker switches on the island, then press the button in the lower right hand corner to close the panel. Go to the large round device and press the button on it. The message will then play, giving you part of the story. Exit the chamber the way you entered and make your way to the Library, the square, granite building next to the round granite building in front of which you found the note. Inside the library you will find a red book and red page, a blue book and blue page, three paintings, a bookcase and a fireplace. Take the red page and put it on the red book. Reading the book will give you part of the story. Do the same with the blue book and blue page. Examine the painting of the island. There is an outline of the major structures and features of the island on the painting (if you turned on the marker switches) and a flashing circle. Click and hold on the flashing circle and a line will begin to rotate around the circle. The line will turn red and pause at these points: the large gears on top of the hill near the dock, the sunken boat's crow's nest, the large tree, and the rocket ship. Stop the red line on the large gears. You will hear the sound of the tower rotating. Go to the painting that shows stairs leading to a corridor and click on it. The painting will swirl and the bookcase will open to reveal a secret passage. Follow the secret passage to an elevator and take the elevator to the tower. In the tower you will find two ladders. One leads to a narrow window that shows you what you have aimed at. The other, located behind the elevator, leads to a clue, bolted to the wall, that is needed to access the Myst book at the location the tower is aimed at. Return to the library, rotate the tower to the next spot where the line goes red and pauses, return to the tower through the secret passage, and get the clue for this Myst book location. Repeat this process until you have all four clues. Once you have all the clues and are back in the library, click on the painting that shows an open doorway. This closes the secret passage and reopens the library exit. Before leaving, examine all the books in the bookshelf. While most are burned, some are not. The ones which can be read contain valuable clues and some actual maps which you will need during the various Ages. One book contains hundreds of drawings of squares in patterns. Leave this book alone for the moment. The last item in the library, the fireplace, comes into play later during the endgame. Myst is a trademark of Cyan, Inc.

Although not all details are covered, the main points needed to solve the puzzles, find the pages, and return to the Library, are covered. This walk through begins in the Channelwood Age. If you need help getting to the Myst book that brings you to this age, see the walk through for Myst Island which contains information to help you find each Myst book on the island. You begin facing a tree on a series of wooden walkways. Find your way along these walkways until you have found an elevator, a circular stairway you can't enter, a pump like device with a handle, and the wind mill building. In the wind mill building, turn on the faucet at the bottom of the large tank. The pipes along the walkway have switches that direct the water flow to different routes. Set these switches so that water flows to the pump by the elevator. Enter the elevator and close the door by clicking on it. Pull the handle and ride up to the lower tree level. Find you way to the circular stairway and go down it. You can open the door from the inside and it will stay open. Reset the pipe switches so that water flows to the pump device at the bottom of the circular stairway. Go back up the stairs to the elevator next to the stairs and ride it to the upper tree level. There is a red page, a blue page, and the right half of a note to be found here, along with various clues to the behavior of the former occupants. When you are ready to leave, make your way to the wooden walkways and reset the switch so that water flows to the pump device at the end of the deadend walkway. Pull the handle on the pump and the bridge to the other section of walkway will appear. Follow it to another elevator. Follow the wooden walkway (not the one you came here on) until you find a crank. Turning this will extend the pipe across the gap. Go back to the pipe switches and direct the flow of water to the path that leads to the temporary pipe across the gap, which leads to the last elevator. Take this elevator up to a small room where the Myst book that transports you back to the Library can be found. Put the page in the same colored book and read it to get more of the story. Return via the Myst book in the Large Tree to get the other page. Don't forget to copy down the right half of the note so you can match it up with the left half when you find it.

Although not every detail is covered, the basic points needed to set the Scanner, get the blue page, enter the small building and find the Myst book to return you to the Library, are covered. The walk through begins in the Everdune Age at the starting point. If you need help getting to the Myst book that brings you to this age, see the walk through for Myst Island, it lists the means to reaching all the Myst books on the island. You begin in the Rocketship, which locks shut behind you as soon as you leave it. Follow the ramp and then the path, past a small building. To enter the building you need to set the sliders on the lock to certain sounds, just as you had to set the sliders on the Rocketship to certain notes. The first puzzle in this age revolves around finding the correct "sequence" of sounds which is the combination to open the lock. Explore the island, you should find five different symbols, each with a red button in front of them. Press each red button as you find them. This "turns on" the radios that broadcast the sound through the satellite dishes above them. You will also find a blue page which you need to take with you. The final location is the Scanner, reached by following the tunnel at the bottom of the ladder which is in front of the symbol for "Wind". Open the Scanner by clicking on the doors. Inside is a screen, a numerical readout, five buttons with the same "sound symbols" you found around the island, a large, red "enter" button and two directional buttons. Press one of the sound symbol buttons, then "tune" the Scanner using the directional buttons, finding the sound that matches the selected sound symbol by lining up the radio satellite dish, located where you found the symbol, in the viewfinder. One of the two directional buttons will flash when you are close, this helps "fine tune" the sound until it is clear (you will hear the sound through the scanner speakers). When it is clear (neither button flashes) press the big red "enter" button to lock in the coordinates. Do this for all five sound symbols (some you cannot see due to the mist on the island, just scan around and listen for the sound). When you enter the last symbol's coordinates with the red button, the Scanner will play back all the sounds in a certain order. This order of sounds is the combination to the "sound lock" to the small building. Set the sliders on the small building "sound lock" to the proper sounds in the correct order and press the button. Enter the building and make your way to the strange vehicle. Enter the vehicle and sit in the pilot seat. Press forward and the vehicle will be set onto the tracks of an underground rail system. At each stop, you can only go in certain directions, using the right and left arrow keys to turn to each direction and the forward button to move in the correct direction. The correct sequence of directions is: Start - N, W, N, E, E, S, S, W, SW, W, NW, NE, N, SE. You will be at the end of the rail system. Leave the vehicle and follow the corridor to the Myst book that transports you back to the Library. Myst is a trademark of Cyan, Inc. Copyright 1994 Broderbund Software, Inc, and Cyan, Inc. Enjoy - Bravo 1994 MECHANICAL AGE This is a bare bones walk through of the Mechanical Age of MYST. This is a bare bones walk through of the Mechanical Age of MYST. Although not every detail is covered, the basic points needed to get through the Fortress, find the red and blue pages, and the Myst book to return you to the library on Myst Island, are covered. The walkthrough begins in the Mechanical Age at the starting point. If you need help getting to the Myst book that brings you to this age, see the walkthrough for Myst Island, it lists the means to reaching all the Myst books on the island. You begin at the large, open gear. To the side is a combination lock panel that requires four pictures in correct order to be opened. For now,follow the catwalk out to the fortress. Enter the fortess and examine the two rooms inside. The room with weapons contains a pedestal with two knobs. This is a simulator for the actual mechanism for rotating the fortress. Practice with it until you get the hang of moving the fortress, there will be no indicator when it comes time to do it for real. There are other items in the room to give you an indication of the personality of the former occupant. Find the secret panel located to the left as you look at the chair. There is a blue page inside the room behind the secret panel. The room with the models and the spy glass also contains a secret panel. Look behind the tapestry to the right as you look at the chair in this room. There is a red page in the room behind this secret panel. There is a red button on the wall in the rear corridor connecting the two rooms. Pressing the button reveals a set of stairs going down. At the bottom of the stairs is a circular indicator and a lever. Hold the lever forward until the circular indicator glows red and has an opening in the bottom of the circle. This indicates that the column above is now open revealing an elevator. Go up the stairs and press the red button a second time to close the stairs. Go down the hallway to the column at the center of the fortress, you can now enter it. Press the up arrow and the elevator will take you to the top floor of the fortress. Once at the top, do not leave the elevator yet. First, press the square button between the up and down arrows, then quickly leave the elevator. The elevator will go part way down and the actual controls for rotating the fortress will be revealed on top of the elevator car. Manipulate these controls as you did on the practice simulator in the room with the weapons. The key to moving the fortress involves how long you hold the right hand lever forward. You will need to rotate the fortress to three of the four possible stopping points. Two lead to small islands on which the code can be found for the four picture combination lock you found at the start of the age. One stopping point leads to nothing but empty ocean. The last is the original position of the fortress and leads back to the point you entered this age. Get the complete, four picture combination and return the fortress to the original position. Enter the four picture combination on the panel and press the red button. A stairway will be revealed which leads down to a secret chamber. In this chamber is the Myst book which will return you to the library on Myst Island. Take either the red or blue page to the library and place it on the book of the same color. Reading the book will give you part of the story. Return to the Mechanical Age fortress by the Myst book in the large open gear on the hill by the dock on Myst Island and get the other page. You will need to press the button on the four picture combination lock to reopen the stairway to the Myst book that leads back to the library. Myst is a trademark of Cyan, Inc.

Although not all details are covered, the main points to conclude the game are covered. You need to have fully explored the Mechanical Age, Stoneship Age, Channelwood Age and Everdune Age before entering the endgame. There is a walk through for each age, as well for the start of the game and for Myst Island itself if you need help with these areas. Putting the next to last red and blue pages into the books holding the brothers captive will trigger one brother to tell you how to find the final red and blue pages and a final Myst book using the fireplace. Find the correct number pattern in the appropriate library book and copy it down. Enter the fireplace and press the red switch. The door closes and you can recreate the pattern from the book in the metal on the door by clicking the correct squares on or off. Press the switch again and the fireplace rotates to reveal a secret chamber. The final red page, blue page and a green Myst book are located here. Read the green book (despite the brother's warning) and you will find out the true story of the brothers and what you must do to complete the game. The key to finding the final white page is on the note which you found in two pieces, one in the Stoneship Age and one in the Channelwood Age. Be warned, in some versions there is a typo in the note. The proper process is to turn all the marker switches "on" and then to turn the one indicated in the note to the "off" position. When you do this, the panel on the marker switch will pop open and reveal the white page. Take the page back to the secret chamber in the fireplace and use the book to transport to Dunney, where you will give the page to the father of the two brothers (the man falling into the crevice at the very opening sequence of the game). He will return to Myst and deal with his sons. He asks you to wait for him in Dunney. He will return and the final bit of story will come out. At this point your are left to wander the ages of Myst until you are needed again. There is no big wrap-up or battle. Unless, of course, I've myst something and the game is not really over. . . .
