Chapter 5: Back on Jungle Island

You have arrived from Plateau Island in the tram station of Jungle Island, which is located at the bottom of the Wahrk Idol in the Jungle.

Turn left and exit the tram and then enter the wooden elevator in the corner of the platform. You turn around in the elevator and you see the lift handle again. Grab the handle again and then push the lever up 1 click. The lever is then in the middle position and the elevator takes you than up and stops on the middle floor. Get out of the elevator and click on the black handle on the left side of the wall to open the mouth of the Wahrk Idol statue. 

Go down the stairs and follow the jungle path until you are back in the hollow tree. In the hollow tree, click on the path that goes to the right out of the tree again and then you go up the stairs and through the fence out of the jungle. The D'ni sentry in the watchtower loudly sounds the alarm again. 

Go right and follow the path to and through Blue cave and to the Lagoon.

  On the other side of the Blue Cave you follow the path across the lagoon 4 or 5 steps, until you have gone under the ladder that goes up to the upper path.

Then turn around and click on the ladder and climb up the top path.

Turn around and follow this top path back to the Wahrk gallows. Then turn left and enter the Cellar in the rock again through the still open round door. Click in the prison cell twice on the round pit in the floor to open the secret door in the wall and then go through and .......... follow the tunnel all the way until you are back in the Moiety Cave, between the tombstone circle.

Moiety Cave:

We are now going to solve the Recognition Puzzle:

You are back in the circle of 25 stones. In front of you, behind the stones, you see the large circle in the wall again and in it you see a hatch with a image of a dagger on it. If you look closely you can see that there is water in the circle. In the walls left and right you see a gutter.

You see only a quarter of the circle. In order to see the rest of the stones, you have to turn left or right. View all the stones first one by one just by clicking on a stone once. You are then zoomed in on the stone. If you then click on the stone again, the stone will sink into the ground. But first look at all 25 stones. There is an image of an animal on each of the stones. You find out that you do not recognize 20 of these 25 animals. 5 animals you recognize because they are the 5 animals you have seen so far in the game. 4 in the flesh and one as a shadow when you looked through the viewer in Ghen's Observation room under the lake of Plateau Island.

Those 5 animals correspond with the 5 Wooden Eyes that you found in Riven. Each Wooden Eye made a specific sound and each Wooden Eye had a D'ni number. So you linked these sounds and numbers to these 5 animals and that's how we arrived at the following series: 1 = Fish; 2 = Beetle; 3 = Frog; 4 = Sunner; 5 = Wahrk. 

What you have to do now is to let only the 5 stones with these animals, sink into the ground and also in this order.

  So first look up the Fish stone in the circle, then click on it once to zoom in on it. Convince yourself that you have the right animal and then click on the stone again to lower it into the ground. Then zoom out and look for the Beetle Stone and repeat this process until you have lowered all the 5 right stones in the correct order. Here are the 5 correct stones in the right order:

  If you do this well, you will see the water flowing from the stone circle in the wall through the wall gutters and then the dagger hatch will open.

Go 2 steps forward to the hatch and you are zoomed in on the partly burned Moiety Linking Book.

  Click on the screen in the right page and enjoy the beautiful movie and the beautiful music.

Then click with your Hand Cursor again in this screen and............... you arrived in the:

Moiety Era:

  You stand in front of a large lake surrounded by rocks. In the middle of the lake you see a beautiful spherical island. However, you cannot go to the island. Turn left or right 2 times. You stand in front of the entrance of a cave. Walk into the cave and walk on to the statue in the niche.

  The statue has the Linking Book to the Moiety Cave in his hands. 

However ........ Just as you want to touch the book again, to travel back to Jungle Island, an anesthetic arrow is shot in your neck and you lose consciousness.

2 rebels have shot you, they pick you up and take you with them. Your screen turns black for a moment and then you see that the 2 rebels take you in their boat across the lake to the Island with the Sphere. Your screen will turn black again but then you will regain consciousness and stare at the ceiling of the room in which the 2 rebels have brought you. Now just click with the forward hand and ........ you get up and stand in the room.

Against the left wall is a table with a scale on it. Past the table is the hallway and the door of the room. Walk into the hall and you are at the door.

  Well, yes, it's a gate. There is a window in the fence. You cannot open the gate but you can look outside through the window.

Look through the window outside and ............. You will see the Moiety village.

You now have to wait for the return of your cursor and that happens when the guy, who is smoking a cigarette at the top right, has walked out of the picture. When you have the cursor again, click down to zoom out, then turn around and go back into the room and walk on until you cannot go any further. Turn again to the table and walk 1 step closer to the table and .....

  Now a Moiety female comes in. This is Nelah and she is chatting to you in her language. The only word that you understand is the name Catherine.

  Nelah then puts two books on the table and then she disappears again. Zoom in on the table and then click on the books.

  The books disappear to the black bar below the game screen. Move your cursor to the bottom black border and you will see all your books. You have three now.

  The right book and the middle book are the books that Nelah has brought you. The left book is Atrus's diary.

Click on the right-hand book and this appears in your screen. Click on it to open it but DO NOT CONTINUE.

So this is the Prison Book that looks like a Linking Book to Myst. So this is the book that you received from Atrus to capture Ghen and that was taken away from you upon your arrival at Riven. Do not click in the screen because then it is at once GAME OVER because then you will be trapped in the world that Atrus wrote for Ghen and you cannot get out of it. So close the book again and go back to the black bar below your game screen and click on the middle book. Open the book, it is

Catherine's diary:

You must  browse through book and if you want you can read it. The handwriting is almost impossible to read, but you can try to read every page if you really want to do this. You browse through the book by clicking on the bottom half. You have to browse through it because this diary contains the code for the Funnel Telescope with which you can end the game. Browse through the book until you have found the page where a set of 5 D'ni number symbols are located. This set of 5 D'ni numbers is then for you the Code for the Funnel Telescope on Temple Island. 

You will find this code on page 24. There you will see a series of 5 D'ni numbers next to a sketch of the funnel telescope.  

This code is different every game, so draw the 5 D'ni numbers you see and translate them to our numbers. This time I received the numbers: 3, 1, 3, 5, 4. The highest number can never be higher than 5, because there are only 5 buttons on that round hatch under the Funnel Telescope. Later, when we have to open that circular hatch via this code, I will explain how to do that. 

When you noted down the code then you store the diary and step back at the table and ...........

 Nelah comes back in and now she puts the travel book on the table. That book allows you to return to the Moiety cave on Jungle Island.

  Nelah disappears again. after she babbles you for a bit in that strange language of hers

Zoom  again in on the table and click on the book and ........

....... when you have your cursor back, click in the Linking Screen to return to the Moiety Cave.

  Jungle Island  

It is time to look up Ghen. But in order to get to the Universe of Ghen, we first have to open the 2nd phase of the Domes and for this all the Domes must first be powered. We will do that on the roof of the Golden Dome of Temple Island. Leave the Moiety Cave and return through the tunnel to the Cell Cave (or just open the secret door again via the lever on the right-hand corner of the floor). Leave the Cell Cave and go over the upper walkway to the end and descend the ladder. 

Then turn around and go back to and through the Blue Cave. Then follow the path around the jungle, or you go through the Jungle, to junction 1 and turn right over the rope bridge. Go down the top half of the stairs and then turn left into the stairway/cave. In the stairway cave, press the blue tram button to make sure that a Tram will be waiting downstairs.

  Descend further down then turn right to the Tram station. Go into the tram, turn the tram and travel back to the Temple Island

Temple Island.

Turn left and exit the tram and then up the stairs to the doors of the temple. Open the doors. You just see a projection of Ghen, in the projection sphere in the temple.

  Enter the temple, turn left and then 2 steps forward into the corner between the pillars. Open the stone door and ...............

  ...... then go all the way back through the tunnel and then over the bridge to the front hall of the Portal Room.

You are now back in Position 1 of the Portal Room. Positions 1 and 4 are open, just as you left the portal room for the last time after you raised the Bridge to the Golden Dome.

Position 1 and 3 must now be opened, so click on the Rotation button twice to get this done. Then go through the Portal Room and out of Position 3 again  

Now walk over the bridge to the roof of the Golden Dome and you end up in the gap between the two halves of the dome.  Walk 5 steps forward, through gap in the roof and you are zoomed in on the: You past a lever button that's on the right Wall A Big Block is hanging in the back of the crack.

  Marble puzzle:

 I can be brief about it. So you have to place the 5 marbles, in the color of the various islands, in the right place in the grid. You know the colors for 4 of the islands and you know that YELLOW does not belong to an island. So now you also know that PURPLE belongs to the Crater Island. 

Place the Purple Marble, Green Marble, Blue Marble, Orange Marble and the Red Marble on the correct coordinates in the islands. Of course you have to remember on which part of the islands the Domes are located and then place the marbles on the right Coordinates within these parts of the islands. Or you just look at this image

  Once you have placed the marbles in the right place, you step out and turn around. Walk back 1 step through the gap and turn around again. A lever knob is located on the right wall.

  Click on the button and ...... The Big Block comes down and presses the marble grid. Above the handle button you now see a white button

  Now press the WHITE BUTTON and ........... BOOM

 You have now supplied all 5 Domes with power and now you can open all Domes for the 2nd Phase with the 5-digit code that you have found in Ghen's diary. This code works for ALL 5 Domes. No matter what Dome you are about to open, in every dome is a Linking Book to "Universe" of Ghen. Because we are now on the Temple Island, it is obvious that we are now going to open the Dome of this Island and from there go to Ghen. Except for the Dome on the Prison Island, you do not have to open any of the other 3 domes.

The Dome 2nd Phase

Turn around and walk back through the roof gap, descend the bridge and walk through the Portal Room to Position 1. Now press the Rotary button again 3 times to now have Position 1 and 4 open. Walk through the Portal Room to Position 4 and go outside through the back door. Follow the upper path around the Golden Dome and enter the Golden Dome. Then inside go to the left over the inner path until you have come outside again on the other side. Follow the outer path until you reach the elevator before the tunnel.

Open the Inner Dome:

  Turn right and press the button. You drop down again. Turn around and walk through the hallway, go up the stairs and go to the Dome. Walk until you are halfway between the two halves and zoom in on the Code Lock. In the round window you see the linking book and under the window the Sliding code lock is located. There is a button under the Slider code lock.

  The lock has 25 dashes, divided into 5 times of 5 dashes. Each dash is therefore a number. 

You count the lines from left to right, so as 1 to 25. On the left there are 5 sliders in the lock. Name those 5 sliders A, B, C, D, E.

  Now take out your Code which you have found in the Journal of Ghen, in the Laboratory of Ghen. This code has 5 digits. From left to right, this is an ascending series. The lowest number is on the left and the highest number is on the right. You now have to put the 5 sliders on the dashes that correspond to the 5 numbers of your code. So you put slide E on the highest digit of your code. You put the Slider D on the second highest number of your code etc

For example......If the code you got from Ghen's Diary is : 9; 12; 14; 21, 24 so I put the sliders down like this:

  Slide E 24. Slide D to 21, Slide C to 14. Slide B to 12. Slide A to 9. Thus:

  If you have pushed all of your sliders to the dashes that apply to the code in your game, click on the round button and .........

 if you have done well then the inner dome will open and the Linking Book Pillar will rise up in the sphere.

  At the bottom right you see a button on the floor and that is the close button. If you click on the Close button, the Dome closes again and you are back in the crack. You do not want this now because you want to link to the Universe of Ghen. So click on the Linking Book and then open it and ...... Watch the video in which you can see the bare and inhospitable landscape in which Ghen was imprisoned by his son Atrus. You see Ghen's upturned Dome.

  If you have your cursor back, click in the movie and ....... you end up in ..........
