Myst IV: Revelation Hints

How can I get across the lake?

  • 1 of 6: There's a long walkway that appears to go to the other side of the lake.  However, a portion of that walkway is currently blocked, and inaccessible.
  • 2 of 6: A bridge midway through the walkway is up, and needs to be lowered before you can cross.
  • 3 of 6: You'll need to find a way to control the bridge, and give yourself access to the other side.
  • 4 of 6: There is a control for the bridge inside the little hut near the walkway.
  • 5 of 6: There is a machine inside the hut.
  • 6 of 6: Once the bridge is in place, you can cross the lake using the walkway.  If you need to get back, just use the handle that you can find along the side of the walkway, on the far side of the bridge.
