                             Riven Walkthrough
                              Big Dome Island

After the animation, leave the cage and look over the side of the cliff on
your right. The guy that got hit with the dart is laying down there. But
that's not important right now. Go up the stairs to the start of the
bridge. Turn left and you will see a gold room. You may want to look in the
beetles before proceeding. The room has two doors and 5 passageways leading
from it. The button to the right of the entrance rotates the room. Hit the
button 4 times (you will see a cool animation 4 times) and you should be
facing a dark wall with a peephole. Turn around and continue to follow the
stairs down the other side of the hill. Turn left when you reach the end of
the path and you should see a locked gate. Go under the gate and through
the cave. You should see the gold room again with a passage leading to
another cave through the room and slightly left. If you do not see this, go
back to the button to rotate the room again. Continue to hit the button and
then check the rotation in the cave until you do. Here is the illustration
of the rotating room:
In the second cave there is a lever on a pipe. Turn it, these kinds
of levers power various items on the islands of riven. Most on the
time by diverting water or steam to the appropriate location Turn around
and go to the doorway of the room with the lever leading back into the gold
room. You should see a switch on your left, these types of switches open
gates and doors. Flip it, do not hit the rotation button, just the switch.
Return to the first rotation button and hit it 4 more times. You should now
be facing a passage to the "Back Door" (see diagram, this is a door, not a
gate) across the gold room and slightly right. Go to this door (you cannot
open it right now), turn around, and you should now flip the switch you see
(looks a lot like the cave switch) Again, do not hit the rotation button.
Go back to the first rotation button and hit it two more times. Now you
should see the gold room with and passage leading across a bridge across
the room and slightly right. Now, go across the bridge to the large domed
building.
If you are stuck after reading all this refer to the diagram and you should
get an idea of the basic structure of the room and you should be able to
get to where you want to go. Follow the catwalk through the domed building
until you are outside again. Follow the catwalk outside until you come to a
lever and a pipe much like the one in the cave, flip this lever. Follow the
catwalk some more and you will find another lever similar to the first two.
Flip this lever in the similar manner. Return back the way you came to the
button which rotates the room. Hit the button 3 more times, this will help
you later. Now you can go away from the gold room across the bridge to the
other section of island. Go throught the door on the left midway through
the tunnel. Sit it the chair if you like, it doesn't do anything right now.
Look around and find the red and gold view portal. Hit the level next to
the portal and continue down the tunnel. Go through the room of pillars.
(this room and the room with the chair are important to the plot of the
game, do you see any connections?) Leave by way of the large door the
switch near the view portal opened. Hit the blue button to summon your
transportation to the next island. Get in the transport. Hit the lever on
the left to turn around and the switch in the middle to go! This is on of
the best parts of the game, so enjoy.

                               Forest Island

Get out of your transport and go through the hole in the rocks. Go UP the
stairs to the chopped forest. Keep to the path of the right and you should
find a hold with a cart. Get in the cart, hit the lever and go! This is
also one of my favorite parts.

                                Paper Island

Not much time on the last island, this one is better. Climb down the ladder
and make your way out to the switch in the middle of the lake. Turn the
lever so it is in line with the middle pipe (toward bottom right of
screen). Then head for the cylindrical building. Go up the stairs on the
side of the building. The stair lead to a mess of switches and a window in
to the building. Turn the big wheel first. Then look left and switch the
lever where the single pipe switches into two. The white dot should be on
the bottom pipe. Turn to the window again and hit the switch on the right
to the up position, then turn the lever on the right to the up position
also. Now you can enter the building. Go into the building and down the
ladder. The screen will get darker as you proceed. Just keep clicking in
the center until you see daylight. You will be treated to a nice view as
you exit the pipe. Follow the mountain pass over the fence to the double
doors. Go through the double doors, but shut them behind you. There is a
path on the right that will be revealed. Follow this path outside again and
look for a gray lever on the right of the bridge. Hit this lever and return
to the double doors. This time take the path you would have taken had you
gone straight throught the double doors. You should go up some stairs into
the cavern. When you get to the silver ball with holes in it, look up and
climb through the fan vent. This leads you into Ghen's laboratory. Cool
huh? Read the book on the table and find the five numbers in a row (refer
to rivenese number graphic) Write down this combination. Leave the lab
through the door with the blue button next to it. Hang a right out of the
door and keep walking on the VERY long bridge back to big dome island. Hit
the lever to lower the last section. Insert disk 2.

                             Big Dome Island #2

Again, follow the catwalk around the inside of the big dome until in ends.
Turn the wheel to raise the missing section. After crossing the raised
section, immediatly turn left and head out of the dome. A section of the
bridge will be missing. Turn around and hit the button to the right of the
door. Turn back around and continue on the bridge. Hit the switch to open
the door and go up the ramp to the grip. Place the marble in the grid as
shown at right : . Turn around and click the switch on the left wall. Pull
the switch down and push the white button it was covering.
You will hear a noise, leave the switch down. Go back down the
stairs and back throught the Gold Room to the Bridge and the first rotation
button. Hit the button 3 times and go through the gold room again back into
the Big Dome. Follow the catwalk outside the dome but stop right before the
path goes through the rock. Turn right and hit the button. You will be
lowered. Turn around and go up the stair and along the path to the spinning
dome. Look throught the viewer and click the button on top when the gold
eye is showing. This may take a couple tries. The Dome will stop and open.
Go up to the dome and enter the code you learned from the book in the
laboratory. Open the book and touch the cool animated picture.

                                Ghen's House

Your in a cage again. Turn around to find the button and push it. You will
be rewarded with a seven minute speech by Ghen on how he has changes his
ways (he hasn't, he's evil.) After his speech find the book with the most
blocks on it. Open it and touch the picture.

                                Tree Island

Back away from the linking book and hit the button on the floor. Turn
around from the sphere and go left up the stairs. Enter the little building
and sit down. Hit the lever on the left (nice view!), hit the lever on the
right, and then the one on the left again. Go out back down the path past
the down and into the tree. Pull the lever on the right and an elevator
will take you down. Get out of the elevator and push the switch on the
left. You can now walk out of the fishes mouth (another clue to the
intentions of Ghen). Follow the path and you will see a little kid. Follow
her by taking the path on the right and up the stairs. Go through the gate
and hang another right. Keep following the path, the villagers will always
run from you. Go up the ladders to the houses and keep going until you see
and alter and a submarine type machine. Hit the lever next to the submarine
and go back to the gate you came through. Don't go back through the gate,
continue on the path and down the stairs (you should recognize this area).
You will see an animation of the penguin/dinosaur looking sea creatures. As
a side note, the longer you wait between moving, the closer you can get to
them. Stay on the path and you should come to some ladders. Go down the
ladders to the submarine. The lever that move in an arc turns the submarine
around, the lever that slides side to side determines if the submarine will
take the left track or the right track. The lever on the right makes you
move forward to the next junction. Here is the Map:
If you don't want to follow my directions here, all you need to do
is go to the switches, flip them all up, then to go the cone and
get out - you can skip down to the orange submarine (yellow doesn't show up
well). If you do want explicit directions, read on.. Turn around and go
forward. Make sure the sliding lever is on the right and go forward again.
Open the hatch and climb the ladders up to the switch building. Move all
the levers to the up position and go back to the submarine. Turn around, go
forward, turn around, slide the lever to the left, go forward. Get out of
the submarine, go into the pyramid and pull the triangle thing in front of
you. Click on the seat that lowers. You will see a prison, open the door by
turning the crank on the right. Go into the cell and open the drain of the
floor. Touch the water and a passage will open. Keep going down the dark
tunnel until you reach the water. Screw in the light on the left, turn
around and go back down the tunnel slowly, turning on a light in each
frame, they are sometimes difficult to see. Once you reach the end, turn
around and go back down the tunnel. You will notice a door, open it and go
through. Push down the stones you see in this order :
                    [Image][Image][Image][Image][Image]

                                Rebel Island

Touch the book that comes out. You will get a nice view on the rebel base,
the only nighttime shot in Riven. Turn around and head for the book. You'll
get darted. Wander around your cell for a bit and enjoy the view out the
window and the door. Eventually a lady will come in and give you
Catherine's journal and the prison book you lost in the beginning. Look
through the journal for a series of five numbers. You will need these
later. The lady will return with a linking book for you to go through.

                                Tree Island

You will return to the room with the stones. Go back down the tunnel and
pull the wire to open the passage back to the cell. Exit the cell and go
right. Lower the ladder and go down it. Turn around and go back the way you
came after lowering the submarine. Except, stop were all the tree are cut
down and take the mine car ride again. (This is cool anyway). Remember
where those double doors were? Go there. Except, close the doors behind you
and go left this time. Go down the stair to the door. Open this door, go
through, and close it behind you. Go down the tunnel that was behind the
door and open the spinning dome by clicking on the gold eye. Enter the same
password to get to the book and link back to Ghen's house.

                                Ghen's House

You'll talk to Ghen again. Go through the back when he askes you to, he
will take your place when he goes through. After capturing Ghen, find the
hole in the floor and go down. There in a silver thing on his dresser. It
makes five sound in a row, either a ding, a clank, or a creak. Write these
down. Go back up the ladder and pull the handle just clockwise of the hole.
Then go and click on the book with the least blocks.

                             Catherine's island

Once away from the dome follow the path to the end. You will see three
buttons. Each make the same noise as the silver thing in Ghen's House. Push
the right buttons in the right order and move the lever on top on the
buttons. Catherine will talk to you and run off. Go back to the dome and
link back to Ghen's house. At Ghen's house go through the book with five
blocks.

                              Big Dome Island

Once out of the dome follow the path to the end. Hit the button, get on the
platform, and hit the button again. Turn right once at the top and follow
the path outside and then through the building. When you reach the door,
lower the bridge with the lever and go across. Go through the gold room and
out the other side. Take a right down the stairs to where you began. Go to
the telescope thing and look down at the manhole cover. Enter the
combination from Catherine's journal and pull the handle to open it. Remove
the stop from the left support column and flip the lever on the right down
and hit the button to lower the telescope as far as it will go. Oops! Then
watch the fun, you've won!
