Uru: To D'ni Hints

How do I read D'ni numbers?

  • 1 of 7: All D'ni numbers are contained within boxes -- that's how they can often be easily recognized.  The lines and shapes within the boxes is what differentiates one number from another.
  • 2 of 7: You may know the D'ni number system from Riven: The Sequel to Myst.  If you didn't play Riven, however, or forgot the number system, Uru contains its own lesson.  Check out your Relto for it.
  • 3 of 7: What in your Relto could contain D'ni numbers?
  • 4 of 7: Books often have numbered pages, don't they?
  • 5 of 7: There's one with numbered pages -- it's on the bookshelf to your right as you enter the hut.
  • 6 of 7: The pages are numbered in numerical order, starting with 1 and increasing by 1 for each page.  Write the numbers down if you need to in order to remember them.
  • 7 of 7: All D'ni numbers are inside a rectangular box -- that's how they can be identified as numbers.  Which specific number a box represents is signified by what is inside the box.
