Riven: The Sequel to Myst Hints
How can I get on top of the dome?
1 of 11: Before you can get on top of the dome, you will first need to find a way inside the dome from the entrance on the Workshop Island.
2 of 11: You can control both of the bridges that lead into the dome.
3 of 11: The one from the Dome Island doesn't just go into the dome -- it also goes on top of the dome once you raise it.
4 of 11: Flip the valve on the far end of the walkway around the bottom of the dome to power that bridge -- it works the same way as the controls to the bridge from the Workshop Island.
5 of 11: Now, you can raise that bridge with the lever just inside the door as you're facing the bridge.
6 of 11: You can only raise the bridge when you're inside the dome, so you need to find an exit from the dome that doesn't involve the bridge you just raised.
7 of 11: There are two ways out, actually, but you have to take the top walkway inside the dome counterclockwise from the bridge.
8 of 11: If there's a gap in the walkway, you'll need to enter the dome from the Workshop Island and turn the wheel on the other side of the gap. This wheel extends the walkway so you can take either of the other top exits from the dome.
9 of 11: You can go out to the Workshop Island and take the trams to bring you back to the Dome Island.
10 of 11: Or you can take the exit from the top walkway that leads to the rotating room.
11 of 11: Just pull the lever you'll find at the end of the walkway to open the door into one of the rooms off the rotating room. You can then use the buttons to rotate the room into a configuration that will let you reach the bridge.
