Myst IV: Revelation Hints
How do I get across to the ship?
1 of 8: Before you can proceed to the ship, you'll need to solve the puzzle just outside of the ship.
2 of 8: Solving the elevator puzzle is just the first step in getting to the ship. You'll still need to find a way to cross the broken section of gangway to get to the ship itself.
3 of 8: If you are standing in the elevator, and look out the far side (not the side you entered from), you should find a small section of walkway tied to ropes (an apparatus, of some sort?), just outside the door and to the right.
4 of 8: Can you think of anything you can use to interact with the small apparatus outside the elevator?
5 of 8: Remember to look around the elevator itself.
8 of 8: You will need to bring up two cannonballs in the elevator in order to use the small apparatus to get across to the ship. If the crate outside the elevator contains two or fewer cannonballs, it won't be heavy enough to lift you and two cannonballs. It must contain three cannonballs to work.
