Myst V: End of Ages Hints
I got across the lake, but how do I reach the Keep that Esher told me about?
1 of 11: The Keep is that soap-bubble like structure with the pedestals that you'll probably see straight ahead of you as soon as you get across the lake and into the tombs.
2 of 11: The only problem is that, as you approach it, it breaks off and moves out of reach.
3 of 11: Esher also told you that you need to make "them" take you there.
4 of 11: By now, you probably have a good idea who "they" are and how to make them do something.
5 of 11: You need to draw the appropriate symbol on your slate and then put it on the ground and step away.
6 of 11: Even though the Keep is in the distance, you still should be able to make out its symbol and draw it on your slate.
7 of 11: The Keep is represented by what look like a series of 4 stacked boxes, one wide rectangle, on top of a shorter and narrower rectangle, then another wide rectangle, and another smaller rectangle.
8 of 11: Draw this on your slate, and the Bahro will take it there.
9 of 11: As you may have already seen, you can follow the slate once the Bahro have teleported it somewhere.
10 of 11: Go back to the cave where you started the game -- just touch the lit symbol on the bottom of the nearest pedestal. You'll now see the symbol you just drew glowing the lower-right corner of the pedestal in the cave.
11 of 11: Click on that symbol to be taken to the Keep, where you can complete this age.
