Myst IV: Revelation Hints

How do I set the four-light control panel to half-power?

  • 1 of 6: First, convert each of the slider-switch settings into a portion of a math equation.  For example, moving the slider to the right turns on one light, so this position would add one.
  • 2 of 6: When all three positions have been converted, work out the solution in full on a piece of paper.
  • 3 of 6: This panel must be set in three moves.
  • 4 of 6: The slider starts in the central position.  Start by moving it to the left.  This will turn on one light, with two moves remaining.
  • 5 of 6: Next, move the slider to the central position.  This will turn on two lights.  There will now be a total of three lights on, with one move remaining.
  • 6 of 6: Move the slider to the right position.  This will turn off one light.  There will be two lights displayed, which will make half the power of this station available.
