But how do I find the 4th safe room? I keep on cycling between the first three... Sad


SPOILERS!

first go to the 1st age (the crabs) swim out to the hut, hit the switch once(the one that makes the loud noise and shuts you in) then swim back behind to the hidden opening(with the crack) and touch the shell cloth there. swim back to the island and walk through the ages until you get back to the 1st age again, then leave using your relto book. use the shell cloth to get back(the cloth inside the book in your relto) and you'll be in the 4th age. you should be able to open the door in this age.

Thanks buckhole!

I was able to do it once obviously out of sheer luck but since going back for the reltopage I have been endlessly stuck.

Thanks, buckhole! But I was wondering, why does that work? Is there an explanation why going through all the times and back to the first brings you to the 4th? Is there a clue I missed? Thanks!

SPOILER!



Every time you use the temple to link to a future age you're actually rotating a sphere. each sphere is a representation of the future of that age to trick visitors into thinking they are actually traveling through time. The switch in the tower rotates the ages while you're inside, so somehow it lets you get access to the 4th age using the shell cloth. That's all i know.

edit: on second thought, using the temple to link to a future age might not really rotate the ages, it may just change your entry point to another sphere. the tower rotating the ages would screw up the way the temple links you there, so when you use the shell cloth you would link to an age that was changed because of the rotation. i guess if you wanted to, you could test out that theory by using the tower switch more than once. I've already beaten the game so i really don't care to figure that out.

Ugh, I feel so dumb...

I've made it to the 4th version of Ahnonay, and been both through the safe and walked around the large statue of someone. Now what? Someone has referred to a piece of paper with numbers on it to solve the periscope puzzle. I can't find anything in this 4th age... Sad

I did not use a crackfix...I reinstalled the game after backing up the saved games folder, grabbed the original sp.dll and UruExplorer.exe and made a copy of them elsewhere on my computer. Then I installed PoTS, copied over JUST the UruExplorer.exe crack, and then used the sp.dll from the original install.

[SPOILER]


Behind the locked door in the 4th age there should be a "movie" of the large statue being built and two ladders leading down towards a pod/rollercoaster like ride. This should take you to where you need to go.
[/SPOILER]



Can anyone give me a hint as to where the one relto page is "near the beginning when you first link in on a balcony"? Question
It was mentioned earlier and I have looked and looked for it so a more specific hint would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Smile

I'm pretty sure he wasn't refereing to a page, but a piece of clothing that is on the balcony at the start, since in his post he only mentions clothing. Also where is the solution to the vault in waterworld, i assume it's a number, but i never came across any numbers other then 625.

The symbols on the buttons in the panel correspond to symbols you have seen somewhere before.

Hint:

As you walk down a hall, they are in the order they need to be pushed.

Could someone please give me a small hint as to what to do with the pellets once they are full strength?


[Spoiler]
I've dropped them into the pool after the meter and it makes a small ring of light instead of a cloud of light. I have also dropped them into the pool in the bahro cave from the second level but the light disappears before I can do anything or see anything below.
[/spoiler]

What should I be looking to do now?
Thanks!

Edit: Actually...oddly enough I made a 2nd batch of pellets using the same number and they were VERY weak. Hints would be greatly appreciated at this point. Confused

When you look at all the numbers except 625 TOGETHER, it makes more sense.

How do you tell if they are at full power, and when you drop them down below, what are you supposed to do next..

You can tell they are full power if the power bar goes completely to the top.
What you do next...I have no idea. Sad I'm still hoping to get a hint myself.

Okay, after finding the stairs after the 4th locked door (those things barely stood out) and riding on the roller-coaster type thing, I entered the room with the large windows. There's the piece of paper which says 625, and a rotating device with numbers. One of them is red, but I cannot for the life of me read any of them through the lens -- they're just too blurry. Is that red number what I enter into the periscopes? I'm completely confused what to enter. I know the same number goes into all four, I just don't know what number.

Hey guys, hints and walkthroughs are now available at URU Obsession:

http://www.uruobsession.com/?page=Library

Although, after visiting the two Bahro caves, I could still use some clues as to what numbers to use on the periscopes... Smile

Have you looked closely at the paper on the shelf in the last room?
You'll notice there are four numbers on the paper. Ignore 625, and look at
[hint] the other three numbers TOGETHER [/hint].

For some strange reason, the 985 worked now. I tried 985, 432, 864 (40-30-20, if each red line counted as 1) before and the pellets weren't fully charged.

anyone has gone past the place with the stone boulder? I stood there on the right place for 15 minutes and nothing happened. This incredible addon involves a lot of running, swimming, waiting and linking, hehehe.

@ixxo: thx for the info that the rock can be pushed... i've been running a LOT! hehe.

This is right and it works because those numbers are the amount of lines surrounding the pictures in the bahro cave. Which ends up being 8 6 4 in terms of black lines.

Thats cool that they have more than one way to solve that puzzle.

985 worked for me! The pellets are definitely one of the more evil puzzles I have seen in a Myst game. Smile
