Myst III: Exile Hints
I'm trying to swing on a plant, but I keep getting caught on a bridge.
1 of 20: First, if you haven't found the swinging plant, these hints may help you find it.
2 of 20: There are actually two places that you can swing.
3 of 20: If you try swinging forward, you'll run into a narrow bridge that you crossed earlier.
4 of 20: But you can also turn to the right, where you should see another patch of ground with some kind of tent.
5 of 20: Notice that the tent is attached to a very manmade-looking crank.
6 of 20: Turn the crank, and the tent will be raised.
7 of 20: You should now be able to see a purple plant. Click on it.
8 of 20: A nut will roll underneath the tent.
9 of 20: Hmm ... I wonder what would happen if you left the area now.
10 of 20: Head past the crank, and you'll go down a one-way slope and land on the path that leads back to the orange hanging plant.
11 of 20: Go down the unrolled green plant and look back at the area with the tent.
12 of 20: Notice that one of those little white creatures comes out to eat the nut.
13 of 20: And also notice that the bridge that's stopping you has lots of those expanding plants that the white creature seems to like.
14 of 20: Maybe you could capture the creature.
15 of 20: Click on the handle that's to your right when you're one step down the green plant, and the tent will lower.
16 of 20: If you swing back to that area, you can try raising the tent to see if you can get the white creature.
17 of 20: No such luck there.
18 of 20: It looks like capturing the creature was the wrong way to go. Maybe you should just encourage it to head near the bridge on its own.
19 of 20: Raise the tent and get another nut from the tree, but this time, click on it once to move it a bit.
20 of 20: Now, go back to the "remote control" handle and pull it again. Now that the creature is no longer right under the tent, the sound of the falling tent will scare the creature away, sending it toward the bridge that's getting in your way. Once the creature crosses the bridge, the bridge will explode, and you can swing straight ahead to a new part of this age.
