Riven: The Sequel to Myst Hints

How can I get inside the dome from this island?

  • 1 of 9: The lever that you see just next to the raised bridge will also lower the bridge so that you can get inside.
  • 2 of 9: But before you can activate that lever, you have to enter the dome from the island where you first appeared on Riven.
  • 3 of 9: Next, you'll want to look for the power controls.
  • 4 of 9: Go down to the bottom of the dome and take the exit that leads to a walkway that goes around the dome.
  • 5 of 9: You should see two levers attached to pipes that have steam coming out of them.
  • 6 of 9: If you see the levers but there's no steam coming from the pipes, then you didn't turn on the main power to the island.
  • 7 of 9: The first valve that you will see controls the power to the bridge from the workshop island.
  • 8 of 9: Pull the lever, and then return to the workshop island via the trams.
  • 9 of 9: Now, you can pull the lever just outside the dome and walk across the bridge into the dome.
