Myst Hints
How do I get into the lighthouse?
1 of 13: Did you notice the key on the floorboards?
2 of 13: Well, that's not the key to let you get into the tower.
3 of 13: But you might want to try draining the lighthouse. See the first question in this section for more help with this.
4 of 13: That chest below might have something important in it.
5 of 13: Unfortunately, there's no key for the chest.
6 of 13: Or perhaps there is.
7 of 13: The key that you see on the floor above is the key to the chest.
8 of 13: Maybe you should try to get the chest to float to meet the key.
9 of 13: It's filled with water right now.
10 of 13: But if you open the spigot, the chest will empty.
11 of 13: Only water-tight things will float.
12 of 13: So close the spigot again, and then release the pump on the lighthouse.
13 of 13: Then use the key -- it will open the chest, and you'll find the key to the tower in there.
