Myst III: Exile Hints

Why can't I open those spheres?

  • 1 of 6: If you can't open either sphere, then you may need to find a way of turning them on.
  • 2 of 6: It's not on the same floor as the spheres themselves.
  • 3 of 6: Head upstairs.
  • 4 of 6: There's a handle there -- it will power up the spheres.
  • 5 of 6: Even then, you can open only one sphere at a time.
  • 6 of 6: The lever between the two spheres selects which one you can open.  If you want to open the other one, switch the lever to the other side.
