Yacht puzzle and crocodiles

[Traveler]

Can someone please give me a spoiler for the yacht puzzle and crocodile puzzle. I know there are 4 pillars and am a little confused

Where have you explored so far? Have you found a room with a small replica of the yacht yet?

[Traveler]

Yes, I have. I took a picture and noted the colors. I did receive a scroll in the yacht room but unfortunately the crocs keep getting me. I realize there are 4 pillars as opposed to the 3 in the other room. I thought perhaps the sculls would assist me somehow in raising the bridge but no luck there. Thanks for being there. :)

It sounds like you're missing another scroll that gives an important clue. It's in one of the smaller antechambers in the King's Tomb complex.

Ok, I think you are almost there! To solve the Gator puzzle, you first have to solve the yacht puzzle, and explore a little more. The clue you are missing to solve the yacht puzzle is in the Weaponry chamber. This is the chamber that has the large chest with a dagger inside. If you look around it, you will find a box near a pot of arrows. Try checking inside it! Once you have this clue, you should be able to use your knowledge to solve the yacht puzzle.

Thanks, God bless you :)

Edit: Thanks Eauxps :) I didn't see your reply until after I had commented.

Thanks Christian, and God bless you also! :)

Thank you Eauxps I Fourgott :)

I have one more question. I am liking the achievements but would like to know if one of them is related to if you die in the game. If so, I either will play again or start over. I'm not an achievement nut but find I do enjoy them as they pop up ;)

[OldWorldStudios — Christian]

Thanks! None of the achievements are related to dying :) If you do die however, you have the option to restore where you just left off, or start a new game.

Christian, I absolutely love what you did with the Cobra Shrine. As it turns out I did have the scroll all along. What I forgot was the pin on the side of the wheel.

[OldWorldStudios — Christian]

Thanks! Oh, yes the yacht puzzle is a tricky one ;)

[Traveler]

Christian, I am not sure you can help me but I have 2 achievements I didn't get. I still have a scarab with 4 prongs in my inventory and that may trigger something. I picked it up but wasn't sure what to do with it. I also remember 6 or 7 holes to the left on the river. I would love to explore but if you can give me a hint it would be greatly appreciated. I noticed in the credits at the end of the game that it was mostly or all of your family involved in this project. You have a very LARGE family my friend :) Noticed you also gave credit to CYAN. Am wearing my MYST T-shirt today!!!

Hey Traveler. I think I know one of the achievements you are missing. Try exploring a little more around the statues in the Temple area, and the four pronged scarab plate will come in handy here. If you need extra help, the in-game hint guide, Book of the Dead Ends™ comes in handy with small nudges as well as full blown solutions. I don't know for sure what the other achievement you are missing is, but I can try and diagnose :) One that is easy to miss is the "Mummy Milestone". You have to actually go and poke the mummy in the Pharaoh's Hidden Tomb, right behind the fake kings chamber ;) Another could be the "Frequent-Flyer Feat", as you have to take quite a few trips on the helicopter. Or if you don't own the Moonlight Exploration DLC, you wont get the "Moonlight Milestone", acquired by exploring the sphinx in beautiful moonlight.

As far as the tubes in the River of Death, I wrote an answer in your other question :)

Yes, this was a family project! My father and brother worked for two years on this megalithic adventure before I joined the team. All of our family and friends were instrumental in making this project happen, from encouragement to package fulfillment, and being there for us over the 4 years of development on the game.

I know Myst was a large inspiration on the original game. Cyan really has some talented game developers!

I am thankful the Lord gave us this opportunity to work together as a family!

Thanks Christian! I wish you and your family good health and fun times ahead.
