Riven: The Sequel to Myst Gameplay Part 3 - Fishing Frogs from a Well
1I figured out how to enter the duct that starts from the Boiler's bottom and opened the Hatch above the Stairs I tried to climb earlier, which led to an installation embedded in the rocky terrain, but at the end of the corridor behind its doors, there was a lever with a Trap for Animals and a Fan spinning on the entry to a duct on the ceiling. The lever lowers the Trap into a very deep Well, and raises it back upon the second interaction with the Lever. The Trap has a Bait Slot, which can be filled with one piece of it from a Canister next to the Trap. I fished some Frogs with this device, but it always escaped as a Cinematic plays upon opening the Trap after raising it when it catches something. I don't know if I should do something else after that or I just need to stay all the time and raise the trap right a upon the catch. What also draws my attention is that the Frog's croak sounds the same as the noise that makes the Eyeball Mechanism with the symbol the looks like the word "KI" when clicking on it.
Regarding the other areas, I found another of those Eyeball Mechanisms hidden in the "Jungle" part of the second area. I don't know if I accomplished something by discovering it, but since then, the Toy at the "School" seemed to lower the Tied People faster to the Fish on the base of it. It could be a sign of progress, but I haven't found a way to apply it. And I haven't found yet a hint about the code to open the Hatch below the first machine that appeared in the game, which doesn't seem to open by just guessing it.
I hate to say that, but it seems I reached a dead end. I don't know how to proceed further...
See you in the next video!
