 MAIN ISLAND:

  Pick  up the note in front of the
planetarium.  As  you  explore  the
island,  you'll find that there are
8  marker switches in total: Pier -
Giant    gears    -   Planetarium -
Spaceship  -  Mall  with small pool
and   pillars  -  Brick  building -
Wooden  shack  -  Clock  tower Turn
each  marker  switch on (up) as you
get  to  it. (Worry about the clock
tower marker later.)

  In the pier, there is an entrance
to  an  underground room. Go to the
projector,   and  turn  it  off  by
pressing  the  big  button  at  the
bottom.  Turn around. You'll notice
a piece of paper on the wall to the
left. Press the green button on the
upper   left   corner,  which  will
reveal   a  hidden  control  panel.
Enter  the number of switches "08",
and  press  the button to close the
panel.  Turn back to the projector,
push  the  button,  and  watch  the
man's message to Catherine.

  In   the   library,   each   wall
contains  interesting  items.  Give
the  blue  and  red  pages  to  the
corresponding  books.  Each brother
wants   more   pages.   Read  the 4
legible books in the book-case. You
can  ignore the book with the wierd
squares  in it, you'll deal with it
later.  Jot  down  any  interesting
diagrams  from  the  others on your
notebook.

  Look  at  the  map  next  to  the
entrance.   Each   of   the  marker
switches  in  the island lights one
specific  group of buildings in the
map.  Grab  the tower and rotate it
until  it  flashes  red, then stop.
There  are  4 "red" positions, each
one  of them corresponding to where
one  of  the 4 available link books
is hidden (ship, giant tree, gears,
spaceship).  The  paintings next to
the  book-case  open  and close the
secret  passageway behind it. Go to
the  elevator,  close the door, and
press  the  button  to  go into the
tower.  If  you  rotated  the tower
correctly,   the  ladder  with  the
"book"  on it should show you where
the   book  is  hidden,  while  the
ladder  with  the "key" should lead
you  to the clue to the puzzle that
lets you get the book.

  Ship: Go to the planetarium, turn
the  lights off (the switch is next
to  the  door),  sit  down  on  the
chair,  and  click  on  the control
panel.  Set  each of the dates from
the clue (Oct 11, 1984 10:04AM, Jan
17,  1207 5:46AM , and Nov 23, 9791
6:57 PM), and map the constellation
shown  to one of the constellations
in  the  Stoneship  book. Go to the
pillars  at  the mall, and click on
the   appropiate   symbols   (leaf,
snake, and bug). The book is in the
now resurfaced ship.

  Tree: Go to the wooden house, and
enter  the combination for the safe
next  to the door (7,2,4). Open the
safe,  get  the match, and light it
with  the matchbox. Turn around and
light  the  pilot  light  below the
boiler.  Turn the gas wheel all the
way up (green icon). Wait until the
thumping sound stops, then turn the
wheel  all the way down (red icon),
and  QUICKLY  get  out of the house
and  into  the tree to the right of
it  (see  library map for location)
before  the  "elevator" in the tree
goes  underground.  If you can't do
it that quickly, don't turn the gas
quite  all the way off. The book is
down  beneath the tree. If you went
up in the elevator, press the white
button  to your left. That releases
the  steam  and drops the tree down
to the underground level.

  Gears:   Go  to  the  clockhouse,
enter 2:40 into the clock using the
wheels,  then  press the button. Go
into  the clock, and use the levers
to  set  the  wheels to 2,2,1. HOLD
either  front  lever down to rotate
the middle wheel only. Click on the
vertical  lever  to  your  right to
reset  the  puzzle.  The book is in
the giant gears close to the pier.

  Spaceship:   Go   to   the  brick
building,  set  the  generators  to
send  exactly 59 volts out (buttons
1,2,3,6,7,8   and   10   should  do
nicely.  The  numbering order is on
the  wall  as you leave the control
room.  In order to figure out which
button  has which voltage, just hit
them one at a time). If you go over
59  volts,  you  will  blow a fuse.
There  are  two  electric towers to
climb,   one   next  to  the  brick
building, one clearly visible close
to  the  spaceship,  click down the
breaker  switches.  Then  enter the
spaceship.  Play the notes from the
Selenitic  Age  book  in the organ,
and  set  the  same  notes  in  the
controls  of  the  ship.  If you're
tone  deaf,  just  count  number of
notes  from the bottom. (8, 20, 23,
13,  and 6, respectively, including
the   bottom  as  one).  Press  the
button  and  the  book  will appear
before you.

  STONESHIP  AGE:  Go  to the other
half of the ship, up the stairs and
look  through  the  telescope. Find
where   the   lighthouse  is.  (135
degrees)

  Go  to  the umbrella and push the
rightmost   button   to  drain  the
lighthouse.  Go to the basement and
drain  the  chest  by  opening  and
closing the valve at the bottom. Go
back  to  the  umbrella and let the
lighthouse  fill  up  again. Unlock
the  now  floating  chest,  get the
key, and open the lighthouse. Crank
up  the  generator  and  power  the
battery.  Note  that the battery is
slightly   discharging,   so   move
quickly!  (If the lights go out, go
to  the  generator  and crank it up
some more.)

  Go  to  the  umbrella,  press the
middle button to drain the rock and
go  inside. Go all the way down the
tunnel, find the page for either of
the  brothers,  and  explore a bit.
You   should   find   half   of  an
important note in the map drawer in
Achenar's  room  (that's  the messy
room).  The  entire  note  is given
below.

  Go  back to the red-lined "panel"
in one of the walls. Inside, you'll
find  a  compass rose, just like in
the  Stoneship  book. Push the "SE"
button  (the  clue  is 135 degrees,
found  with  the  telescope).  This
will   turn  on  the  submersible's
lights.

  Drain  the ship with the leftmost
button and go in. Click on the desk
in  the  lower  level, and the book
leading back to Myst will pop up.

  SELENITIC    AGE:    Find   the 5
microphones  (Water, Fire(thunder),
Clock,  Crystal (flute), Wind), and
turn  each on. You'll also find the
red and blue pages at the "Crystal"
and       "Water"      microphones,
respectively.

  Go to the microwave tower through
the  Wind  tunnel,  and aim each of
the   five   dishes  in  the  right
direction  (use  sounds, icons, and
places  as  a guide. The coordinate
numbers   are:  Water:153.4,  Fire:
130.3,  Clock: 55.6, Crystal: 15.0,
and  Wind:  212.2).  Push the sigma
button.  This  will  give  you  the
sound  sequence  to  open  the door
near   the   spaceship.   (Crystal,
Water, Wind, Fire, Clock) Go on in,
get  in  the  underground craft and
press  forward.  At  each  station,
listen   for  a  sound  which  will
indicate direction. If you miss it,
press  the  button  on the speaker.
The  sounds  are "plink" for north,
"Bloooop" for W, "Plonk" for S, and
"Shhhh"  for  E  (these sound names
are  approximations,  so  give us a
break) Combinations of these sounds
indicate  NE, SW, etc. The sequence
  of  directions to get to the Myst
book  is:  N,  W, N, E, E, S, S, W,
SW,  W, NW, NE, N, SE. Get out, and
find the Myst book.


MECHANICAL AGE:

  The pages for the brothers are in
secret  rooms  accesible from their
chambers.   Explore   next  to  the
"throne" in each room.

  Go  to  the "tube", and press the
button  in  the  hallway. The floor
will  reveal  a lower room. Go down
there,  and  rotate  the tube until
the  red icon shows. Careful not to
let  the  tube  rotate past the red
icon!

  Go  back out, and you'll see that
the  tube  held  an elevator. Press
the  wall button again to close the
floor,   and  enter  the  elevator.
Press the up button, then press the
"middle"  button  and exit the lift
before  it  goes down. The building
rotation  controls  are  above  the
elevator.

  Enter  the  rotation controls and
rotate  the  tower to the other two
islands.  They have the symbols for
the   control  next  to  where  you
entered  the  Age.  (symbols below)
Use the simulator in Achenar's room
to   practice  how  to  rotate  the
tower.  The method we used was: Put
the  left  lever up one notch. Hold
the  right lever all the way up for
about  7  seconds.  Let  go  of the
right  lever,  then quickly put the
left  lever  back down. Practice on
the  simulator  until  you  get the
timing  right, because you won't be
able  to see the orientation of the
tower,  just  some  motion  in  the
gears.  Once the tower stops, it'll
make  a  sound for each of the four
compass directions, the same sounds
as for the selenetic age, above.

  The  control  panel next to where
you  entered  opens  the room where
the  Myst link book is. The symbols
are:  1)  an  O with the bottom cut
out.   2)   point   down  triangle,
rectangle,  point  up  triangle. 3)
circle over three triangles 4) left
half  circle, filled in. (These are
easier to spot than it sounds.)


CHANNELWOOD AGE:

  Go  to  the windmill and turn the
water  on  with  the  faucet on the
floor.  The pulldown lever is a red
herring.  Go  back down and use the
"switches"   in   the  pipeline  to
control the water flow to the first
elevator.  (Not the one next to the
staircase!)  Climb  in,  close  the
door, and use the lever to go up.

  Up  there,  find  the  control to
open/close the staircase. Go to the
staircase,  climb  down,  open  the
door, and use the pipeline switches
to send water to the generator next
to  it.  Climb  back up the stairs,
and use the elevator there.

  Find  the rooms for both brothers
(and   Achenar's  "temple"),  their
pages  are  there.  In Sirrus' room
(the  nice  room),  find  the other
half  of that note you found in the
Stoneship Age.

  Use  the  switches to turn on the
lonely-looking  generator  close to
where  you  entered the world. Turn
it on, and watch the catwalk appear
from  the waters. Walk to the other
side,  down  the other walkway, and
find   the   crank  to  extend  the
pipeline back to the main line. Use
the   switches   to   turn  on  the
elevator  there,  and  climb  up to
find the Myst book.

  (If  you're  having  some trouble
figuring  out  where  the  water is
going  in  the pipelines, listen as
you  walk  past  them. If you can't
hear   the  noise  of  water,  this
section  of  the  pipeline  has  no
water.  Also,  you could just trace
the   water   from   the  windmill,
checking  every  Y  junction as you
pass.)

ENDGAME / DUNNY AGE:

  When  you  return  four  pages to
either  brother, he'll give you the
same  info: go to the library, pick
the  right-end  book  in the center
shelf,  and look up diagram 158. Go
to  the  chimney, press the button,
enter  the  diagram  below  on  the
plate,   press  the  button  again.
You'll  see  the  green  book  (the
Dunny  Age), the blue page, and the
red page.

  Diagram  158  (click  where there
are Xes):

XXOOOOXX
OXXOXOXX
XOXOOOXX
XOOXOOXX
XXOOXXOO
XXXXXOXO

There are 4 endings:
- give the last blue page (Achenar
traps you)
- give the last red page (Sirrus
traps you)
- go to Dunny without the yellow
page (your own stupidity traps you)
- go to Dunny with the yellow page
(Dad goes back, destroys both
books, congratulates you, and asks
you to stick around for further
adventures)

  The  yellow page is in the vault.
To  get  to  the  vault, follow the
directions in the two halves of the
note  ("|"  is  the note break, the
first  half  is  in  Stoneship, the
second half is in Channelwood)


Marker Switch | Vault Access

Island | of Myst

  The  vault  is loc | ated in very
plain view on the island of M | yst
and  access  can be achieved very |
easily  if  the simple instructions
are   f  |  ollowed.  First  locate
each  of  the  marker | switches on
the  island.  Turn  every  one of |
these    switches   to   the   "on"
position.  Th  | en go to the dock,
and,  as  a final step, tu | rn the
marker switch there to th | e "off"
position.


Good luck, and Happy Mysting
