Myst V: End of Ages Hints

When will I use each of the CDs that come with my game?

  • At the time these hints were written, the Windows version of the game shipped on 3 CDs.  You use all 3 CDs when you first install the game, and their contents are copied to your computer's hard drive.  Once that's done, however, you will only need to keep CD #1 in your CD or DVD drive to start the game. 

    The rest of the game plays off of the copy of the CDs that was made to your hard drive.  Be assured that if you do everything in these hints and get to the end credits, you *have* finished Myst V -- even if you don't swap CDs while you're playing the game.
