In this area you'll find a locked wooden gate. Turn back and head left down a set of stairs. This will move the openings to the "wooden gate" and "telescope power switch" areas. Press the button to the right of the door four times. We don't have to do anything now, but to make our lives easier later on, we'll do some things involving this room. If interested in the pictures in the gold scarabs in the room, see More Lore: The Temple Scarabs. One such button is to the right of the doorway from the top of the stairs. Pressing one of these buttons will rotate the room one-fifth of the way around, moving the two open doorways. The room itself rotates via buttons in a few locations. There are also three closed gates (gate 1, gate 2, and gate 3), one of which is blocking your path to the gold dome. At the start of the game, the doorways are where you are (the start area) and the gold dome. However, as you can see, there are only two doorways. This part of the island connections five different sections to this room. This takes a little explanation and a crudely-drawn picture. This room is our first puzzle of sorts that we'll revisit a few times. For major puzzles, there will be a hint system of sorts ranging from minor probes to a full walkthrough. The walkthrough will go through all minor puzzles with explanations. Some lore will give background information from Myst, and some will summarize various journals and such for those without the time to fully read/explore every inch of the isles. If interested, simply head to the relevant section of the guide to read about it. ![]() As not to disrupt the flow of the walkthrough, the guide will reference a lore that can be found at the end of this guide. This guide will include summaries of background lore. Please do not share or upload this guide anywhere without my permission. Nevertheless, I intend this guide to be a full walkthrough to the entirety of Riven for everyone interested in this wonderful game. I first played Riven upon its release in 1997 without having played Myst, which is not recommended as much of the lore refers to concepts from Myst. So when you are ready to begin the adventure click on Chapter 1 and enter the amazing world of Myst III Exile.Welcome to my guide to Riven: The Sequel to Myst! Reading these journals and other documents will also help you get involved in the amazing story underlying the world of Myst. ![]() Make sure to read everything you get and study all diagrams and pictures. Remember that many solutions are hidden in diagrams and reading material you will collect throughout the adventure. This will indicate a puzzle within the game, and I will provide the solution and the logic behind each puzzle as well as screenshots. You can easily locate these puzzles and their solutions in my walkthrough by looking for this image of Saavedro. There are many puzzles scattered about the world of Myst. My narrative is only one of many ways to finish this game. Refer to specific areas of this guide only when you need help, and you will enjoy the adventure much more than if you simply follow in my footsteps. This makes the game very non-linear, so feel free to explore and play the game as you see fit. You are free to explore the various locations on each map and even the ages themselves in any order you choose. ![]() These are located at the top of each chapter and will help you find your way around each area. I've also included maps for many of the Ages. Since this guide contains many screenshots and diagrams I've made each chapter its own individual page for faster loading. You can pick the chapter you need help with by clicking on the menu located in the top banner. I've divided this guide into six chapters, one for each age. Myst III: Exile features large areas or islands to explore known as "Ages". For those of you new to the Myst saga, hold on for the adventure of a lifetime. Those of you who have played the original Myst or the sequel, Riven will know what to expect. You are about to embark on a wonderful and fabulous journey through the mystical world of Myst. Welcome to Myst III Exile: Sinjin's Guide to the Ages.
