Riven: The Sequel to Myst Hints
How can I find out which colors go with which domes?
1 of 14: First, you need to learn to associate colors with symbols. You'll find the help you need on Map Island.
2 of 14: Go down to the bottom of the island -- near the tram that leads to the top of the Village Island -- and find a chair with a set of controls on it.
3 of 14: Push the button on the chair, and then pull the right-hand lever to lower a viewscreen.
4 of 14: You can rotate the wheel around the viewscreen to select from one of six different views. Just click on it.
5 of 14: Each of the views will show you a light of a different color and symbol.
6 of 14: Press the button that's surrounded by the red frame to see the corresponding color.
7 of 14: Well, one light is burned out, but you can probably guess what color it would have been, by looking at the other five.
8 of 14: The burned-out light is supposed to be purple.
9 of 14: Now that you know the colors, you can look at the domes to find out what "color" they are.
10 of 14: Notice all the symbols on the domes?
11 of 14: The one that's in yellow gives you the color of the dome.
12 of 14: In a few cases, if you look closely enough at the domes, you can just see the symbol moving across your view.
13 of 14: Or, you can look through the viewfinders pointed at the domes. These will help you see the symbols as distinct images, so they're a little easier to distinguish.
14 of 14: If you need help with specific domes, you'll find the answer in the main set of hints on the marble puzzle.
