Myst III: Exile Hints
How do I get into the wooden tower in the center of the island?
1 of 15: If you're trying to take the same route into the tower that your attacker used, you need to find another entrance.
2 of 15: Head to the bottom of the island.
3 of 15: You want to reach a house at water level.
5 of 15: You can take the elevator up to the top, where you'll find your attacker. The door out of here is locked, though.
6 of 15: You'll need to search carefully to find the mechanism to unlock the door.
7 of 15: Have you looked at the elevator controls?
8 of 15: Press the green button to head back to the bottom floor and see if you can figure out the elevator works.
9 of 15: Instead of walking into the elevator, look to its right.
10 of 15: You can pull the lever from the outside, sending the elevator up to the top while you're still on the bottom floor.
11 of 15: Then go into the space below the elevator and notice several sets of controls all around you.
12 of 15: If you haven't found them already, look for some instructions on what to do with those controls.
13 of 15: There's a journal on the hammock in the area outside the elevator. Pick it up and read through it.
14 of 15: Drawings on several of the pages correspond to the controls at the bottom of the elevator shaft. Just follow those instructions, and you're basically set. If you need the settings explained, see these hints.
15 of 15: Once the controls are properly set, call the elevator back and ride it to the top again. This time, the elevator should rotate before moving up, and just as you reach the top, your attacker will link out of this age. You should now be able to make your way inside the tower. If this doesn't work, repeat the process and check the controls again.
