Tips, Hints &
Walkthrough
NOTE : The guide is done in 3 sections. The Tips section gives you
a good start
in the game. The Hints section is for
those who need help but do not want to indulge
with any
spoilers. The Walkthrough is for players completely stuck
in completing the
game and really want
lots of spoilers. Navigate the tips, hints and walkthrough
section
using the left hand menu.
The
hints and walkthrough section is now
completed!
TIPS
Tip
#1: Do not use the zip
mode too early in the game. Do not use the zip mode too
early in the
game.
When you go through the game too fast, you
would missed essential visual clues
and
openings which are hidden by shadows. When you have gone through an
area
thoroughly, the zip mode is actually really
handy.
Tip #2: Be observant and be
patient. Look, touch, listen and push
everything.
When you are wondering around Riven, try
to look up, down, left and right. Look
down
when you are near a cliff face....you never know what you will
find. Listen
to audio clues ie. sound
effects when you touch an animated object. You can also
pick up certain objects and add it to
your inventory (you start off with a book
given by
Atrus).
Tip #3: Avoid disc swapping
by solving as much as you can of the main area.
CD
swapping can be quite annoying if you are trying to check the main
area
properly but then you jump into a cart which takes
you a different island.
Don't forget Riven is non linear
and you will need puzzles from different parts
of the 5
CDs to solve a particular problem. Some smaller problems can be
solved on the spot.
Tip #4: The only help you get when
you first started is .... NOTHING!
Gone are the
books in the library (MYST) to help you get along. Atrus
book
doesn't help much but it tells you your mission(s).
You will need Hint #2 to
get you
along.
Tip #5: How do I open the
locked wooden door?
This section might get you stuck
for sometime at the start of the game.
Use Hint #2. If
you are still stuck look at my walkthrough.
Look at the Fun Section for
fun things to read and do after finishing the
game. |
