Myst Hints
How do I get light under the sea?
1 of 9: The light source is buried away in a hidden passage. You might want to explore the rest of this age first -- you may eventually find a light.
2 of 9: Specifically, there's a hidden passage in the tunnels, near the very bottom (just before you reach the brothers' bedrooms).
3 of 9: It will be hidden in one of the arches -- click on the space between one of the arches, and if you have the right location, a door should open.
4 of 9: If you're in the right-hand tunnel, go to the very bottom, turn around so that you're facing out, and click on the first arch on your left.
5 of 9: You should find something like a compass in the secret passage. Have you seen anything else that might suggest what direction you should select?
6 of 9: The telescope will give you a direction.
7 of 9: You want to select the button that corresponds to another light source.
8 of 9: In other words, find the position of the lighthouse. It's easier to do this once the lighthouse has been turned on -- the top beacon will start flashing.
9 of 9: Try 135 degrees, or the twelfth button clockwise from north.
