Myst V: End of Ages Hints

How can I make the wind blow?

  • 1 of 6: Well, as you've probably learned by now, the Bahro can control the powers of nature.  And you can control the Bahro to some extent.
  • 2 of 6: All you'll need to do is find the appropriate slate symbol.
  • 3 of 6: You may have seen it on the way to the canal.
  • 4 of 6: There were two ways to the canal area -- one went the whole way along the beach, and the other through a bit of sandy shortcut.  You want to look in that shortcut area.
  • 5 of 6: The wind symbol is etched on one of the walls here -- three wavy lines on top of each other.
  • 6 of 6: Once you've drawn this symbol and dropped your slate, walk away and the Bahro will start up the wind, creating a brief sandstorm.  When the storm dies, you're free to use your slate to create another storm -- and you probably will need to do this several times before you're finally able to solve this puzzle.
