#Myst fireplace puzzle manual

I started up a new game, finished it with the good ending (turning in the white page on classic).

making a save at the beginning of the Mechanical level, starting a new game on classic, starting a new game on random), but this one worked for me. Also, this was the last achievement that I was working on. The game is still relatively new so It's bound to happen. Hey Guys I figured I'd help out with how I got this one since it is buggy. Then, before going back to Myst, I rotated the fortress to the 270 degree position, approached the telescope, and popped the achievement. I also grabbed the red and blue pages in the age. I then traveled to the Mechanical Age, rotated the fortress around to 90 then 180 degrees in order to solve the Myst age linking book puzzle. I completed the Selenetic Age first, grabbing both colored pages in the age. For myself, I had already beaten the game once, then started a new random game. Folks having continued issues might consider reaching out to the publisher on this. I attempted this while going through a random run and I do not know if it is affected by completing the good white page ending or not.Īnd yes I know that the fortress rotates anticlockwise, however the gear mechanism you control rotates clockwise.ĮDIT: Browsing online forums, no one seems to have found a cause for the achievement not unlocking.

I had it unlock on my first try, but to be safe, make a manual save before attempting this. Note: some have commented on the achievement not popping for them.

You should see a skeleton image in the telescope's viewfinder and the achievement will pop without you interacting with anything in the room. It is the more foppish of the two bedrooms with a toy bird and, more importantly, a telescope. Go down the elevator and go into Sirrus' bedroom. It helps that the fortress will only settle on one of the four previously mentioned positions so if you're not precise, the mechanism will move forward or backwards to the nearest stopping point. Timing for this is subjective since the left lever adjusts the rotational speed, so instead go by angle. To see the skeleton, rotate the fortress 270 degrees (3/4 of a unit circle) from the original position, or just 90 degrees from the second Myst book puzzle solution. While solving the Mechanical Age puzzle, you will find yourself rotating the entire fortress using a set of controls atop the age's elevator (while at the highest level, push the middle elevator button, shaped like a minus sign, then hop out before the lift descends.) To solve the puzzle correctly, you need to rotate the large gear mechanism in front of you (and thus the fortress) 90 degrees clockwise from the start, then 180 degrees from start, and then return the fortress to the original position (360 degrees from start.)
