Myst III: Exile Hints

Saavedro wants me to let him get back to his family. What should I do?

  • 1 of 8: First, save your game here if you haven't saved recently.  While pretty much everything up to this point was safe, it is possible to die in this part of the game.
  • 2 of 8: Then, remember why you chased after Saavedro all this time.
  • 3 of 8: You're trying to recover the stolen Releeshahn book.
  • 4 of 8: Do you really think you can trust him enough to take his deal?
  • 5 of 8: After all, if you flip the switch like he asks, the barrier between you and him will go back up, so he's free to double-cross you.
  • 6 of 8: If I'd been through what he had, I wouldn't be willing to help Atrus.  In fact, if you do as he asks, he will double-cross you.
  • 7 of 8: You need to get the Releeshahn book back before you can help him.
  • 8 of 8: In most cases, it's up to you to figure out whether you want to free him.
