Riven: The Sequel To Myst

Use the following steps to activate the Easter Eggsin the game. Note: Click the places just once. You will know ifyou have done so when the cursor disappears for a second.

• At the start of the game, exit your cage, go towards the stairs, turn right and look over the cliff. Click on the unconscious guy.
• Go to Boiler Island. Enter Gehn's lab, find the little chest of drawers where Gehn keeps bird's eggs. Click on the little orange one.
• Solve the Animal Stone puzzle on Jungle Island. Go to the Moiety Age and in your prison, click on the little bowl on the table.
• On Jungle Island, go to the submarine. Travel in it to the place with the five switches. Look out of the window there and you will see the sub, back on the cliff. Click on it.
• Go to Survey Island by taking the Maglev from Boiler Island. Note: You might have to turn the Maglev around and then get out. Go to the room with a long handle. Pull it, and a lift will appear from the floor. Do not go into the lift, but from where you are, click on the little star on the top of the lift.
• Finally, take the Maglev from Jungle Island to Temple Island, or travel there by linking book. When you are next to the blue button near the Maglev station, turn left. You will see a triangle of light. If you look very closely, you will see the letters RAWA, the nickname of one of the Riven programmers, Richard A. Watson. Click on the letters to activate the remaining Easter Eggs in the game, as follows.

Lights on: Go to Temple Island, the island you started from. Go to the room with the Whark statues and the temple itself. Make it so you are looking at the room from the exit (where the Maglav is found) There is a hidden switch in the left side, on one of the pillars. Press it.

Wire-frame detail: Go to where you make the "sub" descend into the water next to the village by the lagoon. Go three or four screens toward the village (until you are looking down a ladder). Then, turn right. You should see a wire-frame view of the lagoon.

Silly Putty: Go to the underwater viewing room on Plateau Island. Sit in the chair and hit the button to face the window. Pull the left hand lever and then look down at the view screen (the one used to spy on Catherine). Finally, click on the small round, brown bolt just off to the right of the view screen to view the Easter Egg movie.

Singing Gehn: Go to Ghen's 233rd world (the one you go to using the Fire-Marble Domes). Go to his bedroom and face the wall with the red tapestry and the star on it. Click on the D'ni symbol for 5 in the exact center of the star to see the Easter Egg movie.

Sky High: While you are on Jungle Island, go into the jungle. Take the elevator up to the "second" floor of the jungle and start walking up towards the control throne past the dome. Up about the middle of the stairs leading to the control throne, turn around and face the dome. To your left, down on the path underneath, you can see some lights by the side of the road. Click on the lamp farthest away from the dome to see the last Easter Egg.

This is an alternate and quicker way to unlock theEaster Eggs. Follow these instructions exactly. If "clickan object" is stated, do not move forward and click it; clickit from where you are. If "back away" is stated, makesure the hand is in the "move back" spot. Also, clickon the indicated target only once. If the pointer disappears quicklyand comes back, you did it correctly -- do not click it again.

1. Start a new game, and while you are still in the cage, save the game in case you make a mistake. Do not save it after leaving it.

2. Click on the handler from inside the cage.

3. Click on the handler to see a closer view.

4. Click the top of the handler once (only).

5. Move back.

6. Move right.

7. Move up (look up view)

8. Click on the star on the cage once.

9. Move right.

10. Move right.

11. Move right.

12. Move forward. (Click by cliff with "move forward" hand)

13. Move forward (by cliff)

14. Look down cliff with "look down" hand.

15. Save your game here in case you make a mistake in the next part, as it is complicated.

16. You will see the guard, "Cho", on the ground below the cliff. Click these spots only once in order. If the pointer disappears quickly, the spot is activated : The knife on the ground, Cho's head, the holster on Cho's torso by his left arm (on the screen, and not from Cho's point of view), Cho's right hand, Cho's foot, Cho's left hand, Cho's torso (where part of his uniform has a stripe). Now all you have to do is click the name "RAWA" by the mag-lev on Temple Island, a step mentioned before, and you will have full access to the Easter Eggs mentioned earlier.

After you break the lens at the end of the game, lookclosely at Atrus. For a brief moment a face will appear. Thisalso happens at the start of Riven, when Atrus holds up the Linkingbook to Riven. This was intentional, so that it felt like Gehnwas watching you from the very beginning.

At the start of the game, leave Temple Island and thenreturn. Go to where you started. Next, go to the bottom of thestaircase and look down to the right. Two faces are in the top-left.To find the other three, rotate the Gate Room (rotating room)until you can enter from the passage under the gate. Go underthe gate, and immediately after you do that, on the right sideof the screen, you will see three faces. You will only see themif you can enter the room from the place you are in.

For more hidden faces, step outside the cage where you start thegame. Turn left, and look up. One face is just to the left oflower center, hidden in the rocks. The other is in the lower rightcorner.

More hidden faces can be seen on Temple Island, after going underthe chained wood gate. The passage to Gateway room at other endmust be open. Look along the right side of the screen. The threechildren's faces are Rand Miller's daughters.

Go to the 233rd Age (Gehn's house) after trapping Gehnthere. Go down the ladder to Gehn's bedroom. Go up to a sort ofround cage thing (the "holo-projector") and look inthe rocks in front of you through the window. There should bea human there.

When you change to Disc 3 you should be at a pointwhere all the trees are cut down. Find the path that leads tothe gate. Open it and start to walk. As soon as you go under thefirst tree, look to your left. You should see a giant dagger stickingup out of the ground. Walk down and you will find another rollingball thing. Remember to note what the symbol is and what soundit makes. Return to the path and start walking forwards again.When you reach the two pathways, go right. As you walk down youshould see a giant fish head. Approach and inspect the head andyou will find nothing. However, back on the pathway you shouldsee two lamps. Go until all you can see is the top part. On thevery top there is a small disc. Push it and see what happens.

Go to the workshop island (Disc 1). After solving theboiler puzzle, go to the small balcony that has the frog trap.Climb down the ladder. At the bottom, face the ladder so thatyou are one screen away from being directly at the ladder. Inthe upper left corner is the word "Alex" written inthe rock.

In Riven, after you have advanced to a decent pointin the game, go to the chamber where you first appeared in thegame. In that area, go to the edge of the cliff facing the holographroom and the first transport. Look down the cliff and you willsee rocks and the water. In the upper-left side of the screen,in the cliff, is a photograph of two "MYSTerious" children.Those are Robyn Miller's children.

There was a book press on Crater Island (where Gehnmakes his books), by the ladder up to his "house" (whichwas locked at the start). It was removed during the game's development,but still can be found. Face the boiler controls and click inthe upper left hand corner, on the pump. You should now see anangled picture of the nice view to the left of the boiler. Lookdown towards the left side and you will see the upper part ofthe book press. Another way to see it is to walk a bit back onthe catwalk and turn towards the boiler room. It is difficultto find, but it is there. If you look up, you will also be ableto see it, just even more blurred.

After you have completed the Spyder Easter egg huntand clicked on all five "hot-spots" (bird egg, woodenbowl, submarine, star, and "RAWA") as described above,you will have activated the Spyder Easter Eggs. The followingEaster Egg was left out in the list above. To get "dumped",go to Crater/Boiler Island from jungle island on the logging cart.Once you get there, climb up the ladder back to the cart and clickthe bumper in front of the cart.
