Myst III: Exile Hints
How do I get the lava back into the room?
1 of 6: Think back to what made the lava disappear.
2 of 6: That happened when you lowered the platform while the gear was on the left side of the room.
3 of 6: If the gear is already on the left side of the room, rotating the handle will raise the platform and thus bring back the lava.
4 of 6: You want to raise the platform while you're outside the room -- there's no way to leave the lava room if you're inside and the lava's there. That means you need to use the controls on the upper level.
5 of 6: You can't move the gear from left to right from the controls above the room -- you have to do that from inside the lava room itself.
6 of 6: So if you need to, go back into the lava room and move the gear to the left side. Then go back outside the room to rotate the gear.
