Since a most of riven s puzzles are based on the exploration of the world there are only a few direct solutions.
Riven colored marbles puzzle.
Go round the rock and take your first proper look at the riven isles.
Go up the stairs on your left.
Riven like myst is a very open game.
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.
Others change randomly each time the game is played so they have to be discovered during gameplay.
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.
It is now time to leave the riven islands.
Often there is a lot of area that you can explore with access to lots of devices that seem like puzzles.
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.
You must place five colored marbles on the grid to represent the locations of the five fire marble domes on riven s islands.
How do i figure out where the marbles go on the grid.
Each of the five spinning domes is associated with a colour and you can determine four of them through the nearby viewfinders.
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.
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.
For me the worst part is the marbles puzzle.
At the top left is the entrance to a round rotating room some stairs leading down and a bridge to the right.
If not the marbles stay where they are and you need to try again.
To access the other doors in the rotating room press the button four times.
