The
Ages
You're about to enter four very distinct game worlds, each with its own set of challenging puzzles. We recommend that you take time to thoroughly explore each age to become familiar with lay of the land - this will aid you immensely in handling Myst's slightly confusing navigation system. We also suggest that you try to solve as many of the puzzles as you can yourself before referring to the walk-through; it's a lot more satisfying, and with each you complete you'll stand an even better chance of solving the next problem on your own.
When you arrive in Channelwood, turn around and you'll see a windmill to the right off in the distance. Go to the windmill (it's fairly easy to do) and turn the faucet at the bottom of the water tank; this sends water flowing down the pipe you saw leading out from the windmill. Everything here is water-powered, so now you've got a power source - the next step is to make sure the power flows to the correct location.
Head out the way you came in, following the pipe leading out of the windmill back onto the wooden walkway you used to get here. At the first junction go to the left; at the second junction look down and throw the switch to the left so water will flow to the right, then go right. Do the same at the next two junctions, then continue on to an elevator (not the one located by the spiral staircase). Enter the elevator, click to the left of the door to close it, then pull the lever to go up and gain access to the treehouses.
The first thing you need to do is find the switch that opens the spiral stairs; it'll take some exploring, but if you remember that it's in one of the round structures you should be able to find it without too much frustration. Go down the spiral staircase and to the nearest junction to divert the water through the pipes running to the spiral staircase - actually to the elevator beside it. Climb the stairs, enter the elevator beside the gate to the stairs, and go up another level.
