Myst III: Exile Hints
What should I do at the control panels with hexagonal buttons?
1 of 8: If those patterns don't look familiar, then you need to solve some other puzzles on this island.
2 of 8: In particular, solve each of the three puzzles that involve a crystal ball that's dropped from the sky.
3 of 8: When you solve each puzzle, you'll be shown a pattern of hexagonal buttons.
4 of 8: You want to enter these patterns into each of the control panels.
5 of 8: Press the ones that were shown in white when you solved the puzzle, and then walk away from the control panel. A bridge should take you to the next panel, or to a door after you've entered all three patterns.
6 of 8: It doesn't matter which pattern you enter at which control panel, as long as you enter all three patterns correctly at some panel.
7 of 8: If you need the solutions again, here they are.
