Riven: The Sequel to Myst Hints

How do I open the domes?

  • 1 of 10: You first need to stop them from spinning.
  • 2 of 10: Take a look at the viewfinder next to the dome.  That's the key.
  • 3 of 10: Wait for the symbol to glow yellow in the viewfinder.
  • 4 of 10: And press the button on the top.
  • 5 of 10: If you press it at just the right time, you'll stop the dome.  You might need to anticipate when the symbol will turn yellow and press a little before, but once your timing is right, the dome will stop and open.
  • 6 of 10: Gehn also talked about an access code in his journals.
  • 7 of 10: The code is randomized from game to game, but it's a series of five Riven numbers.
  • 8 of 10: Then, use the sliders to enter that code.
  • 9 of 10: There are 25 slots for the sliders.  Number them from 1 to 25, and move them into the positions corresponding to Gehn's code.
  • 10 of 10: Once you've done that, and you can get to the linking book inside the dome.
