Myst Hints
Where are the fortress rotation controls?
1 of 8: The controls in one of the brother's rooms are *not* the real thing.
2 of 8: But they are a good simulation -- first learn how they work here.
3 of 8: You can't get to the real controls until you've first managed to get the elevator working. See the previous question for more help there.
4 of 8: Did you notice anything unusual in the elevator controls?
5 of 8: The middle button doesn't take you anywhere. You might want to pay attention to it.
6 of 8: There's a time delay if you click on it while you're at the top of the fortress.
7 of 8: Hop out of the elevator after pressing the middle button.
8 of 8: You should find the controls on top of where the elevator used to be. To get the elevator back, press the button at the bottom of the panel.
