Myst Hints

What general information should I know about the devices?

  • 1 of 3: Before you read the hints below, make sure that you've found the access keys in the library.  Questions above tell you how to get them.  Whatever you do, don't try guessing, because you're not going to succeed.
  • 2 of 3: Try to match the keys to the devices you see.  Process of elimination will let you rule out a lot of the access codes and devices -- obviously, a two digit number is not going to work on a device with space for three digits.
  • 3 of 3: Also, look in the library for a few hints on how to use some of the devices.
