Stuck in the sound puzzle [SPOILER]
I'm stuck in the part where I'm supposed to get the jars in order to open the door.
I saw the music sheet in the wall, but I can't, for my life, figure out the order of the jars :(
I HATE sound puzzles! I hated the one in Myst and the one in Myst 4!

I started by sorting the ones with the highter tones and then add the one's with the low tones. But it didn't work! The door is still closed! I have no idea what else to try! :(

Other than this, I've been really enjoying the game so far.

Sugestion: How about putting symbols in the jars and in the music sheet?

Hi,

May be this hint will help you.

Did you notice the number of tones displayed on the music sheet ? Have you found all the jars ?

There are more jars than pedestals. I was stuck here for a while until I found the extra jar and made the appropriate adjustments.

I do the sound puzzle right before the end of my video if you're still stuck on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=239CwI11oog&list=PLrICs6fXG-8FglfFpE4QE5CQIzIavkorK

THERE ARE 6 JARS??? Ohhh that's low! That's reaaaaaaaaly low!
I did notice there are 6 lines in the sheet but I didn't find that relevant. I needed 5 jars, I found 5 jars.

Thanks for the video. I'll use it later to get past this part as quickly as possible.
I hate sound puzzles.

So before watching the video for the solution, how is the hint on the wall used to figure out vase placement? Is that drawing supposed to represent a musical scale? did you listen to the sound of each vase first to determine order of placement?

Yes, it has to do with the sound each vase makes, and yes, you have to listen to them all (I cut that testing part out).

Azralynn! Thank you! I really like to know the logic behind a puzzle when there is one! And really appreciate your videos, great job! 'tu!

I hate sound puzzles too tbh. they really ruin the gameplay for a bit if there isn't an alternative.

In the original Myst there is a hint hidden to solve the music puzzle in the form of a note.

We added a hint system since! You can click the questionmark of the vases in your inventory - the last hint tells you the pitch of each vase.

I did not notice. This is great :steamhappy:

I'm gonna be honest, I still cheated this one. It's tedious as hell having to play and memorize the sound of each and every jar then compare them, and having to click through three hints just to find out the sound they make is still tedious. Understanding the puzzle was easy as heck, but if the steps to actually solving it once you know how are a pain, it's not worth trying to do it legitimately.

Im honest too. I really hate sound puzzles ... im not hearing good and i can just
say its a high pitch or low pitch ...but the hint-system is helpful and just perfect.

Love the game and hope that will be more coming! :)
