Uru: Ages Beyond Myst Hints
Yes, but how do I get a bucket to stop where I can reach it?
1 of 6: Just as it takes the buckets a few seconds to start, it will also take them a few seconds to stop after you push the lever away from you.
2 of 6: Try to figure out how long it takes the buckets to stop.
3 of 6: Don't think in terms of time -- think in terms of distance.
4 of 6: Notice where the buckets are when you push the lever, and then see how close you can get a bucket to the edge of the railing.
5 of 6: As you're looking straight ahead while standing behind the lever, you should see a column more or less ahead of you.
6 of 6: Push the lever when one of the buckets is near this column. By the time it stops, it should be at the edge of the railing for you. If not, you may want to practice your timing a bit -- you may find it easier to push the lever either just before the bucket reaches the column or just after it passes it.
