| Getting There |
| On Myst Island walk down to the clock on the far side of the island. You are seperated by a channel of water. On the left of you is a box with two red wheels attached to it. Turn the smaller wheel twice, and turn the big wheel 8 times. Press the red button on the box. A bridge of gears appears. Walk across, flip the marker switch and enter through the door. Inside there is a gear puzzle and to unlock the big gear on the other side of the island is to get the combination 2,2,1. To get this pull and release the left lever, pull and release the right lever, pull and hold the right lever. The dial should read 2,2,1, and a gear turns in front of you. If you mess up the lever on the back wall will reset the dial to 3,3,3. Go to the giant gears near the dock. Inside one of the gears is the Mechanical Age linking book. |
