Myst III: Exile Hints
How do I operate that elevator?
1 of 7: As you're facing the wheels, turn around to the left to find the lever on the ground.
2 of 7: You can click on it to grab it and drag it to the left or right.
3 of 7: If you pull it to the right, you can send the elevator up one level, or if you pull it to the left, you send the elevator down one level.
4 of 7: You start out at the bottom level, but you may still have problems sending the elevator up.
5 of 7: That's because the elevator is steam-powered.
6 of 7: Close as many of the valves as you can and then pull the lever. You'll now go up.
7 of 7: To be precise, the needle has to be in the yellow area for you to reach the middle level, and it has to be in the red area for you to reach the top level.
