Myst IV: Revelation Hints

How do I get past the Camoudile blocking my path?

  • 1 of 4: The wooden walkway ends just before the Camoudile in such a way that it can appear as though the Camoudile is blocking the only possible path.  However, there is actually still a path available to you.  When facing the Camoudile, turn to the left.  You should see a worn path leading away from the end of the walkway.  By using this path, it is possible to walk around the Camoudile and continue on the other path.
  • 2 of 4: You won't be able to get rid of the Camoudile by yourself.  The path that continues around the Camoudile will lead you to the help you need.
  • 3 of 4: From the vantage point of the tree house, you will see an important cut scene that shows the Camoudile attacking several Mangrees in the clearing.  This is the same Camoudile that was blocking the path earlier.  Watch carefully to see exactly what happens.  (You may wish to save your game at this point, so that you can use this as a "reset" point later.)
  • 4 of 4: Somehow, you want to find a way to get the Mangrees (monkey-like creatures) to help you get rid of the Camoudile.
