For me the worst part is the marbles puzzle.
Riven colored marbles puzzle.
If you have solved the puzzle you should hear the system powering up the linking books and see the marbles ending back on the right.
Myst journey puzzle solutions.
If not the marbles stay where they are and you need to try again.
You must place five colored marbles on the grid to represent the locations of the five fire marble domes on riven s islands.
The puzzles to be solved are scattered around the world and are often integrated very naturally into the environment.
Since a most of riven s puzzles are based on the exploration of the world there are only a few direct solutions.
If you are really stuck here is the solution.
It is now time to leave the riven islands.
Go up the stairs on your left.
Marble puzzle solution once completed successfully this will restore the power to all the fire marble domes around riven.
Open any of the marble domes and enter the 5 d ni numbers you have obtained from gehn s book these are always different therefore if you have not obtained these you need to go back to his lab on crater island and get them.
The map room on plateau island helps determine the exact grid location of each dome and the survey room on plateau island helps determine the appropriate colors to use.
Riven like myst is a very open game.
Go round the rock and take your first proper look at the riven isles.
We finally solve the much talked about but so far unseen fire marble puzzle and power up the book domes so that next time we can finally pay a visit to gehn.
At the top left is the entrance to a round rotating room some stairs leading down and a bridge to the right.
Each of the five spinning domes is associated with a colour and you can determine four of them through the nearby viewfinders.
To access the other doors in the rotating room press the button four times.
However the fifth is inaccessible until after you solve the puzzle to the best of my knowledge so you end up having to guess the final colour granted from only two choices.
