Myst III: Exile Hints

What is the exact sequence for the posts?

  • 1 of 8: 1) Start with the yellow post near the dome.
  • 2 of 8: 2) Aim the beam at a nearby blue post.  That post is 120 degrees to the right, as you follow the beam's path.
  • 3 of 8: 3) Then aim the beam to its left, to a green post on the other side of the island.
  • 4 of 8: 4) From there, aim the beam at a nearby red post, to the beam's right.
  • 5 of 8: 5) Aim the beam at a yellow post fairly close by (not the one back where you started), to the beam's right.
  • 6 of 8: 6) Aim the beam at the nearby purple post, to the beam's right.
  • 7 of 8: 7) Aim the beam at the red post that was back where you first arrived on the island, to the beam's right.
  • 8 of 8: 8) Finally, aim the beam at the device in front of the door you're trying to unlock.
