This section includes puzzle hints for Myst III: Exile's Edanna age. The section doesn't offer complete solutions to the puzzles and problems you'll face in Edanna. Thus, it's free of storyline spoilers and complete puzzle-solution spoilers. Use this section if you just need a nudge in the right direction for Edanna's puzzles.

Be careful when browsing through the questions; although the questions are presented in chronological order (from things you will likely accomplish first to things you will likely accomplish last), it's possible to be slightly spoiled from the questions themselves. Don't read ahead unless you're still perplexed!

Where to Start in Edanna

Q: I have no idea where to begin in Edanna. What should I do first?

A: Just experiment! You can't break anything. Simply walk around and check out the different plants and animals.

Q: I think I've reached a dead end! I've explored everywhere and found one of those plants that should carry me to another level. However the plant appears dead and isn't working. What's up?

A: The plant needs nutrition.

Q: What do I need to do to feed the plant so it will take me downward?

A: The plant needs water. You must look for a way to douse the plant in a heap of water!

Q: I've found a weird flower that I can look through and control, but it doesn't appear to do anything.

A: You need to move something out of the way before the flower becomes useful.

Q: What do I need to move before the flower becomes useful?

A: Look behind you!

Q: OK, I've managed to get sunlight through the flower, but I still don't understand what I'm doing. Help me!

A: You can direct sunlight at certain objects by using the flower (once you have moved the large vines that were shading the flower). Focused sunlight, like light through a magnifying glass, can burn things or, perhaps, burst things.

Q: I need a bigger hint regarding this flower! Come on!

A: You will use the flower and the sunlight to feed the "elevator" plant. Naturally sunlight isn't water, though. Perhaps you can burst something nearby that will release water and feed the plant.

Q: I'm finally down the elevator plant and see some sort of electrified creature swimming in a pool. What next?

A: The electrified creature helps supply power to various parts of the forest. Look for ways to transfer the creature around the forest. Don't forget to try to "experiment" with everything you come across!

The Trap

Q: I've swung on the swing, but I can't seem to go anywhere other than a small platform with what appears to be a trap. What gives?

A: A bridge blocks your main swing path. The bridge is covered with those red plants that those creatures in J'nanin seem to like.

Q: I've managed to trap the creature in the cage, but it appears to do nothing.

A: You aren't necessarily trying to trap the creature. It's just as helpful to divert the creature's path and guide him where you want him to go.

Q: I need a huge hint! Where do I want the creature to go?

A: Perhaps you should send him onto the bridge.
