Riven: The Sequel to Myst Gameplay Part 7 - Receiving Catherine's Journal
0I had to search for another hint on YouTube, because I got stuck again at the end of the previous video. The good news was, I didn't need more help to keep going, and I think I can still go a little further beyond the end of this video. The bad news is, I should have noticed the trick without looking for hints. At least it was the same dynamics as for the previous hint. I searched for reference areas I didn't recognize from my wandering by hovering the mouse pointer on the time slidebar, then opened the game and started searching for the details by my own means.
The area concealed beneath the detail (the Totem Elevator), led me to the lower ground of the last Island I visited, and provided me the answers regarding the Stones at the end of the Secret Cave on the Village Island, and the color code for the Dome Symbols. I didn't need to guess the former puzzle after all. The reward for solving that puzzle was a Linking Book to another Riven Age, which led me into... a Prison Cell. But then, an Islander allied to Catherine provided me another Linking Book and Catherine's Journal. It was a long text to read and Catherine's handwriting wasn't easy to read at times, so I couldn't finish it before the 2-hour mark.
How will I get back on track and rescue Catherine?
See you in the next video!
