Myst V: End of Ages Hints
Where will I find the Keep in Laki'ahn?
1 of 12: First, you need to have gone through all of the other puzzles listed for this age, including the one about the seven rocks on a structure along the beach.
2 of 12: Once you've been able to get through both doors into the top level of this structure -- i.e., above the rocks -- see what kind of view you have.
3 of 12: There is an island in the distance, but you can't see it any better from the top of the structure than you could from the beach.
4 of 12: But there's also a window in one of the walls, facing the water.
5 of 12: And it seems to be looking out at some kind of flag.
6 of 12: It's a shame you can't quite make out what's on that flag.
7 of 12: A nice stiff breeze would do some real good here.
8 of 12: You've already created a pretty strong wind earlier in this age.
9 of 12: Get your slate and draw that sandstorm symbol again. Drop your slate for the Bahro, then go back up into the fort and look again.
12 of 12: As always, draw that symbol on your slate, drop the slate, and let the Bahro transport the slate to the destination. Then you can return to the start of the age and find that same symbol in the lower-right corner of the pedestal inside the "soap bubble". Press it to reach the Keep.
