Myst Hints
How do I get light in the tunnels?
1 of 6: Have you noticed that there are power cables running from the tunnels to the lighthouse?
2 of 6: Then you probably should realize that the key to getting light in the tunnels is to activate the lighthouse. See the question about how to get into the top of the tower before you read any further.
3 of 6: From there, all you need to do is give power to the battery, and you'll have plenty of light in the tunnels.
4 of 6: There's a crank in the lighthouse tower.
5 of 6: Keep turning it until the battery is charged. If you look down on the ground, you'll see an indicator that will turn white as you power the battery. The light on top will also change color when you've finished.
6 of 6: You should have enough light for about ten minutes or so. After that time, you may have to recharge the battery to get light again.
