Starting Myst IV:

Myst IV 

Working on it, far from being through. 

Yeesha takes you to the entrance area ("EA"), of what I call "home, you meet 
Atrus there, who leaves after the power break-down. 

Note the map of the "home"-world at the wall of EA. Look around. 

Take the elevator (note the symbole for elevator (round dot up) down (only one 
floor at the moment) to main level. 

Home - Main Level: 
Three round pavillons, in one with banana-tree(?) you can climb down a ladder 
and see the family-tree in D'Ini writing (better revisit after you fixed electricity / 
power). The one in the middle (work-room, "WR", holds the heatable bull-eyed 
greenery, - and the electricity-box. Forth pavillon is parents bedroom "PBR". Living-
room and kitchen "LR" on other side of water across, then across water to the left 
Yeesha's room, "YR". PBR and YR have a lower level. 

Work-Room "WR"- pavillon: 
Turn on electricity (spoiler) 

Note the 6 symbols left to right: 1) dot near the middle = tram over water 
(properly powerded with 9 lights, 1 green + 8 white 2) dot down = Stove in kitchen 
(kitchen + living-room, "LR" on the other side of the water) 3) dot left and 4) dot 
right = switches for water-turbines down in the base, now pink (= not properly 
powered) 5) dot up = elevator 6) three dots = heatable geenery in WR. 

Play around the with eletricity-box. (I visited the turbines first, switched of the two 
turbines there. Was that a good idea?) There are a total of 15 lamps lit. 9 for the 
tram + 6 for the elevator. I switched round the lights until I had both turbines 
proberly powered, each with full amount of white lamps plus one geen on top (no 
red on top lit). Then I switched back on the turbines. 

"Earthquake"? 
Either I overdid it with the power or there was an earthquake: The walkway 
between the three pavillons and PBR broke down and it was night. All power 
worked fine though. Took the elevator all the way down and used the tram to get 
to the PBR and on from there to the LR and YR. 

How to get to the lower level in YR 
She's got a bookshelf, you need to push 5 book in the prober order. Find the clue 
for it on the family tree. Note the D'Ini alphabet in LR, note Yeesha's practice 
spelling her name on paper. 

Spoiler: 8 books top row left to right: 3 is Sirrus, 6 is Cathrin, 8 is Achenar. Lower 
row 4 is Atrus, 6 is Yeesha. Push-order by age of persons. 

Lower Level under PBR: 
Yeesha disappears in the fireplace. Follow her. Note the board. Great fun. I tried 
forming a semi-chess board. Wrong. 

Spoiler: Switch on the lamps in the PBR, the clue pattern will be projected. The 
pushe one will remain unchanged, the 4 up, down, left and right change. 

I went to Sirrus' place first. 
At the moment back from my sail to the the outer palace and down in the chair 
trying to get the music part right. 

Any hints how that's done? 
More hints to Sirrus place later - or perhaps if you want to ask? Get tired of typing. 

Game is great fun, I must say!

Spire:
This is a complete walkthrough for spire, the fastest way to do it without explaining 
how i figured it out. 

goto the first switch set it to 7 lights 
(right left right left right) 

go up to the other one and set it to 2 lights 
(left right right) 

go back down go in the ship and go across 
go down the hole 
click the green rock in the wheel 
turn the wheel 
go back up 
goto the other switch machine 
set all the lights on 
(right right left right left) 

get in the ship go back across 
set the switch to 1 light instead of 7 
(left right left right left) 

go up and set that one to one as well 
(right left right) 

go down the slide to the chair 
hit button 
pull the handle all the way down 
hit the EEE then the button 
once down set gears to 4 3 7 (the setting that its in is considered 1 so pull the gear down 3 2 6 if 
that makes it easier 
go back up 

set the 3 switch in this order as fast as you can (wait for the crystal the shack in 
the middle before attempting the next one) 

8 12 4 
then 
3 1 7 
then 
10 5 5 
then 
12 12 12 

if you do it fast enough your out.. 

goto the switch on the right turn it to the keyhole figure 
goto the tubes and push the container between to the left 
go back to the chair 
hit the button and set it to 12 12 12 
after explotion goto where the rock was and your on the elevator. 

hit the swtich goto the top look at the circle and take a picture of the colors, your 
done.
