Myst IV: Revelation Hints
I give up; just tell me how to set the machine.
1 of 5: For the bone on the far left, pull it past two diagrams (to the third diagram). You should see three holes showing on the front of the bone, and a white square, with four black triangles in the viewing window.
2 of 5: The second bone (from the left) should be pulled past one diagram (to the second diagram). There should be two holes showing, and you should see a pattern of four triangles (one in the center, and three others, one on each point).
3 of 5: The center bone stays in its lowest position, displaying a white, four-petal flower.
4 of 5: The fourth bone should be pulled up four notches, until five holes are showing. The correct symbol for the bone is a black diamond (with two white triangles inside it).
5 of 5: For the bone on the far right, pull it past three diagrams (to the fourth diagram), until you see an "S" laying on its side and four holes on the front of the bone.
