Myst IV: Revelation Hints
How do I obtain the second wave form?
1 of 22: It is important to wait for Atrus' instructions. (Yes, that can be frustrating; but this solution will not work if you don't).
2 of 22: The solution is given by using "clicks" as reference points as to how much movement to make. However, it is still possible that Atrus will ask for movements not described here, since there can be a small amount of fluctuation between this description and the actual movement. When this happens, go ahead and follow Atrus' instructions -- even if it includes a move not described here.
3 of 22: First of all, you'll need to activate the blue line by moving the slider. These instructions will assume you have just moved the slider to the right, if that is different then what you see on your computer, simply move the slider again, so it will be on the right.
4 of 22: Once Atrus asks you to move the left-most dial, turn it three clicks to the right. Listen for Atrus -- if he asks you to adjust the dial again, do so. If he asks you to adjust a different dial, go ahead with the new dial instead.
5 of 22: Atrus will ask you to move the right-most dial. It should be turned 2 clicks to the right.
6 of 22: Move the slider to the left.
7 of 22: Making sure to always wait for Atrus' instructions, continue by turning the left-most dial to the right 3 clicks.
8 of 22: Turn the center dial 2 clicks to the right.
9 of 22: Turn the right-most dial 2 clicks to the right.
10 of 22: Move the slider to the right.
11 of 22: Turn the right-most dial 2 clicks to the right.
12 of 22: Move the slider to the left.
13 of 22: Turn the center dial 2 clicks to the right.
14 of 22: Turn the right dial 1 click to the right.
15 of 22: Move the slider to the right. As you approach the last parts of the puzzle, listen even more carefully to Atrus' instructions. Pause after small movements, waiting for him to give you further instructions. What Atrus tells you, from this point on, may vary somewhat from what is shown here. Be sure to follow all of Atrus' instructions, using these instructions as a guide.
16 of 22: If Atrus asks you to move the right dial, turn it about one click to the right.
17 of 22: Turn the center dial 1 click to the right.
18 of 22: Turn the left dial 1 click to the left.
19 of 22: Move the slider to the left.
20 of 22: Atrus may, or may not, tell you to move the center dial. If he does, it may need to go to the right 1 or 2 clicks.
21 of 22: Atrus will likely tell you to turn the right-most dial. If so, turn it slowly (listening for Atrus' comments) 1 (or 2) clicks to the right.
22 of 22: Once again, listen to Atrus's instructions. You will likely need to turn the left-most dial 1 or 2 clicks to the right -- although you may not even need to move it enough to even hear a click.
