Uru: Ages Beyond Myst Hints
There's a second area above the waterfall that also needs light!
1 of 16: You need to light it pretty much the same way that you lit the first dark area.
2 of 16: Yes, this means you get to get the fireflies yet another time.
3 of 16: But before you do that, you might want to make sure that there is a clear path for them.
4 of 16: Remember that you will need to jump twice as things are now to reach that second dark room -- once to get over the pool at the bottom of the falls and once again to get over the gap in the path on the upper level.
5 of 16: And of course, the fireflies won't have anything to do with that. You're going to need to eliminate one of those jumps.
6 of 16: Why don't you try opening the door in the room that you just lit?
7 of 16: You'll find several rooms above the bottom of the falls.
8 of 16: The door leads directly to one of them, or you can go outside and back through the falls to find a second room on the right.
9 of 16: And there are more of those baskets in these two rooms.
10 of 16: You might be able to guess what you can do here.
11 of 16: You can knock the baskets over the edge of the falls and down to the bottom of the pool.
12 of 16: It will probably take two baskets, but you can make another bridge across that second bit of water that you had to jump over the last time.
13 of 16: It helps if you put them sort of end to end, so that you walk on to the first basket "head on", then onto the second basket, and probably over its side into the cave.
14 of 16: Again, it helps to test out your bridge before you go get fireflies -- as the bridge may move if it's not quite in the right place. (Of course, make sure the first one is still there too.) As with the last one, it will take some practice to get this right, and unfortunately, there's only so much that I can say in my hints to help you out with this. But just keep at it, and you will figure it out eventually.
15 of 16: Once you've made that bridge, go back to the garden age, pick up some more fireflies, and carefully walk them all the way across both of the bridges.
16 of 16: Then make the final jump over that one section of broken path, and you will be able to walk them into the last dark room. Again, as in the previous dark room, once you can see around, you should be able to find another one of those light switches, keeping the room permanently lit now.
