Myst IV: Revelation Hints

What is the interpretation for Blue Crystal?

  • 1 of 11: The paper on Sirrus' desk says "Need to supply keyboard with total electricity gathered in garden and docking station ONLY to disrupt these samples."
  • 2 of 11: What is the maximum amount of electricity that may be gathered in the garden and the docking station?
  • 3 of 11: The garden can provide four units of electricity, and the docking station can provide seven units. 
  • 4 of 11: Eleven is the total number of units of electricity, which is also the total amount that the three numbers for Blue Crystal should add up to.
  • 5 of 11: Now on to the paper near Sirrus' chessboard.  This one states that the "No. of lightning conductors needed to power cable #1 and definitively disrupt molecular composition of sample = 3."
  • 6 of 11: What this is saying is that the testing of the first cable is complete and the result is three.
  • 7 of 11: So, now we know that the first number is three and that the total must add up to eleven.
  • 8 of 11: Now, this part of the clue is a little vague -- but when you see the paper that says:  "Need to supply keyboard with total electricity gathered in garden and docking station ONLY to disrupt these samples," it is trying to give you an additional clue.  "Docking station ONLY" is intended to separate out the amount of energy available from the docking station into a separate category.
  • 9 of 11: In other words, your clues are as follows:  The first number has to be 3; one of the numbers has to be 7 (which is the power available at the docking station); and all of the numbers must add up to 11.
  • 10 of 11: Now you know that the numbers are either 3, 1, 7 or 3, 7, 1.  Only one of these combinations will work.
  • 11 of 11: The correct power code for Blue Crystal is 3, 1, 7.
