Myst III: Exile Hints

How do I fill the sac?

  • 1 of 14: Notice that you can click on the front of this plant.
  • 2 of 14: When you do, the plant will try to fill itself.
  • 3 of 14: But it has to get the liquid it needs from somewhere.
  • 4 of 14: The sac has roots that appear to connect it to another plant.
  • 5 of 14: There are two other similar plants elsewhere in this age -- all of three are connected.
  • 6 of 14: If you don't remember them, retrace your steps to find them.
  • 7 of 14: The previous one was just in front of the paintings, up the steps from the plant that the sunflower is pointing at.
  • 8 of 14: Try clicking on that.  If it still doesn't fill, you need to go back even farther to find the original plant.
  • 9 of 14: You need to go back past the trapped bird and get back to the area that was before the now-destroyed bridge.
  • 10 of 14: The first plant in the chain is just a little bit before where the bridge was.
  • 11 of 14: If you see a glowing squid swimming in a pool, you've gone too far.
  • 12 of 14: Click on that first plant to transport the squid from the pool to the sac.
  • 13 of 14: Then go to the second plant by the painting and click on it to move the squid farther in the chain.
  • 14 of 14: Finally, click on the third plant to move the squid there.  You're now ready to explode the sac.
