Myst IV: Revelation Hints
How can I find the totem pole in the swamp?
1 of 7: Start at the area you landed in, after the hang-gliding ride. To "zip" back there, click on the scene immediately to the right of the ship (it may be greyed-out). Learn how to use "zip" mode by reading Movement and cursor interaction.
2 of 7: Standing in the area marked with animal tracks in the pathway, there are three paths leading from here, one of which leads directly up to the tent used for hang-gliding.
3 of 7: Using at the path with the tent as your guide, the path you should start out on is directly behind you (pan to the left, taking the first path you see).
4 of 7: Move forward only two times. You should be able to see the grasslands, but you shouldn't be standing in it.
5 of 7: Turn to the path on the right.
6 of 7: Move forward six times, until you reach a "T" in the path (the path at this point is made from a series of wooden planks).
7 of 7: At the "T" in the path, take the path to the left. Move forward two times to find the totem.
