Myst IV: Revelation Hints
How do I set the third control panel?
1 of 13: Remember, to begin, you'll need to press the button on the lower left of the control panel. Then, close the circuit on the left of the panel.
2 of 13: This slider switch has four settings. The far left position activates seven lights.
3 of 13: The second position de-activates three lights.
4 of 13: The third position activates ten lights.
5 of 13: The fourth, far right position activates two lights.
6 of 13: The slider control starts in the second position. After five moves, the lights activated in the center of the control panel will be transferred to the back of the control panel and the power will be set to the level indicated.
7 of 13: It is helpful to work out the solution to this control panel on paper. You'll need to make note of where the slider control starts, and the how many lights each switch activates or deactivates. Remember that the switch cannot skip a position -- every move will activate or deactivate lights. And you must use five moves -- no more, no less.
8 of 13: Your goal is to get a total of 36 units of power to the spider chair.
9 of 13: Some of the power units will need to be supplied by the other two control panels back on the main area of Spire, the rest will be supplied from this panel.
10 of 13: Have you figured out yet, what number you are aiming to set on this panel? Remember, you need a total of 36 units of power, and you already have some lights activated on the other two panels.
11 of 13: This panel is a bit trickier to use -- some numbers will simply be impossible to set into the panel. Keep in mind that if you cannot set the desired number on this panel, you can still go back to the other two panels on the main part of Spire and adjust the number of power units there.
12 of 13: If you would like to check what amount of power is currently available at each station, or the total power available at all three stations, you can do so by looking at the display near the control panel.
