Riven: The Sequel to Myst Hints
How do I get inside the workshop?
1 of 11: If you haven't found out how to get to the workshop in the first place, the following hint might help.
2 of 11: You're not going to be able to open the door at first.
3 of 11: That building must be awfully stuffy with no open windows or doors.
4 of 11: Look around ... maybe it has some other ventilation.
5 of 11: If you go back to the double doors (the ones you had to open and then close to reach the workshop) and then walk away from the doors, you'll find a fan there.
6 of 11: Look for some way to turn it off.
7 of 11: The controls aren't immediately next to the fan.
8 of 11: They're on the walkway that goes between the workshop and the double doors.
9 of 11: There's a switch on the railing of this walkway. Flip it.
10 of 11: Now, you can open the fan grating and go through the fan to get inside.
11 of 11: Once you've gotten in the workshop this way, just open the door that leads back to the walkway (as opposed to the one that leads to another tram), and the door will stay unlocked, so you don't have to bother with the fan passage any more.
