Myst Island Inside the Library, continued To get to those four ages, you must find the places of protection Atrus mentioned in his message to his wife, and the key to finding them is right here in the library. Go to the map on the wall to the left of the red book and click on it to view it in detail. See the ring of blinking concentric circles? Click on it and hold the mouse button, and you'll see a line sweep around the map much like you'd see on a radar screen - and whenever it turns red it's indicating that the tower has been rotated to face one of the places of protection. Now, when you enter the tower, you'll not only see the place of protection, but you'll also get a clue that will help you solve the puzzle you find when you get there. For the sake of convenience, we'll start with the red line nearly in the six o'clock position - the gear puzzle.
So how do you enter the tower to get your clues? Click on the painting to the right of the red book, and the bookcase slides to reveal a passage (this action also closes the doorway - click on the painting between the bookcase and the blue book to restore the bookcase and open the doorway). Head through the passage until you reach the elevator, enter it, and click the blue button to ascend to the tower. When the doors open, you'll see a ladder with a book icon; climb this ladder and look through the opening to see the place of protection you marked on the map - in this instance, the gears you encountered earlier while flipping marker switches. Turn around and go down the ladder, and when you are facing the elevator go right once and forward twice to get to the other ladder. Climb it, and you'll see an inscription that reads "2:40" and under it another that says "2,2,1" - these are your clues for solving the gear puzzle.
Instead of running to work on the gear puzzle, though, you might as well start scurrying back and forth between the map and the tower to gather clues for all four places of protection - or, better yet, you can just look at this list instead: Gear puzzle: 2:40; 2,2,1
