Myst IV: Revelation Hints

What can I do with the bookcase in Yeesha's room?

  • 1 of 17: You'll need to push five specific books in a particular order.  To learn more about the bookcase, look around for a clue.
  • 2 of 17: Atrus was teaching Yeesha how to write a linking book.  They were working at the table on the porch of the kitchen building -- it's only one building away from Yeesha's bedroom.
  • 3 of 17: Notice how Yeesha practiced writing her name several times?  Do you get an idea of what her name looks like with these strange letters?
  • 4 of 17: If you check out the words on the back of the books, you'll find that Yeesha's name is on the spine of one of them.
  • 5 of 17: Yeesha's name is the third book from the right, on the bottom row.
  • 6 of 17: There are other names on other books, as well.
  • 7 of 17: Study the phonetic alphabet translation chart that Atrus was using to teach Yeesha how to write linking books.  It's on the table outside of the kitchen area. 
  • 8 of 17: You should find the following names: Achenar, Atrus, Catherine, Sirrus, and Yeesha.
  • 9 of 17: Remember the clue in Yeesha's diary?  The solution has something to do with names and who's older.
  • 10 of 17: Have you found any other references to names around here?
  • 11 of 17: You will need to look somewhere other than Yeesha's bedroom for some additional information on names.
  • 12 of 17: The carving on the rock slab seems to be written in D'ni...  (The directions to the rock slab are in the previous question.)
  • 13 of 17: ...it looks like a family tree.
  • 14 of 17: See if you can find the same names on the family tree that are on the spines of the books.
  • 15 of 17: The five names at the top of the tree are the ones to focus on.
  • 16 of 17: The order of the names should be read from down, up; left to right.
  • 17 of 17: The family names should be in the following order: Atrus, Catherine, Achenar, Sirrus, and Yeesha.
