Myst IV: Revelation Hints

How do I restore the power?

  • 1 of 11: Atrus said to go to the water wheel control room...
  • 2 of 11: ...and close both emergency release gates.
  • 3 of 11: Hmm....  The control panel at the water wheel control room doesn't seem to be working.
  • 4 of 11: Perhaps the power surge from the explosion caused some trouble here.
  • 5 of 11: It seems as though this panel doesn't have power at the moment.
  • 6 of 11: Did you notice that, even though some things around here don't have power, other things still do?
  • 7 of 11: Perhaps some of the existing power can be diverted to the water wheel controls.
  • 8 of 11: To divert some power here, you'll need to go to a different control panel.
  • 9 of 11: Once power has been diverted to the water wheel controls, the game will make you back away from the puzzle, and the roll-top cover will close. 
  • 10 of 11: Go back to the dam and look at the water wheel control panel.
  • 11 of 11: Press the button at the top of the panel to close the emergency release gates.
