Part 1: To D'ni
Chapter 3: The Great Zero:
A: Find the 15 red GZM's:
Great Zero Courtyard: GZM 1
You are in the open air and on a kind of gallery. To the right of you is a staircase that goes down. Get your KI bracelet out again via the F2 key. First turn around completely and then walk up to the balustrade. In your KI bracelet, that red circle will probably start blinking again. From the gallery you are now looking into the Courtyard.
In the middle of the Courtyard is a pond and above the pond hangs a thick white "Obelisk".
In the walls, around the Courtyard, are niches and in these niches are also white "Obelisk". Also in the back you can see these Obelisks.
From the thick Obelisk above the pond, "lightning rays" goes to those other Obelisks. Nice to see, but what do you have to do with it. Turn back and walk forward and up the stairs. At the top of the stairs, you stand still for a moment and look at the wall, in front of the staircase. Here you'll find a KI Machine.
Walk past the stairs and then turn left and continue until you are just at the balustrade. Here is the Nexus Linking Book on a pillar.
Okay, you know that now. Go back to the stairs and descend down. In your KI bracelet the red circle will flash to indicate that there is a GZM in the vicinity.
When you come down, turn left and enter the corridor, right next to the stairs. Walk backwards and ...... the 1st red GZM appears .......
Walk to the GZM and click on it to enter the GZM in your KI bracelet and ...... the first red square now becomes clear.
Now go to the other side of the stairs and enter the corner along the stairs. Walk to the back and then turn left. Against the wall column there is a Relto Page here.
Grab the Relto page and click on the image again to add this page to your Relto Book. Later in Relto you will notice what this page has added to your Relto Empire
You can now go examine the entire Courtyard. You can not do anything further here at this moment, but if you look around a bit here, you become familiar with this environment.
Behind the pond there is a staircase, left and right, along the "waterfall".
You then come to the left or right of the channel, through which the water flows into the pond. Follow both the left and the right side of the channel all the way to the back until you can not go any further. On both sides of the canal you come to a large Glass Door that you can not open now. Those 2 glass doors will not open until you have found all 15 "Red" GZM's and you have inserted your KI bracelet into the KI-Machine. When you have done enough looking around here , then go back to the stairs and climb up again to the gallery. Go to the Nexus Linking Book and use this to link back to the Nexus Room.
Back in the Nexus Room you activate the Holo screen and this time you click on the "Ferry Terminal" link and then again on the Yellow button.
The Nexus spits out the "Ferry Terminal" book again, so click on the link photo and you will arrive at the:
Ferry Terminal: Red GZM 2 and Red GZM 3:
You have arrived at the "pedestrian promenade" and behind you is the spiral staircase that goes up to the "pyramid staircase". Turn completely. Straight ahead you see a number of those orange pylons. To the right is that spiral staircase to the top. On the left you see a small red lamp that casts a red light over a bunch of stones. Walk to those orange pylons and ........... When you approach the pylons, the red circle in your KI bracelet will flash again. Walk through and the second red GZM appears against the rocks behind the pylons.
Continue until you can click on the GZM and then do that. Your second Red square turns bright red.
Turn left and follow the pedestrian promenade all the way to the end. You walk against that roadblock again. Turn right and go through the deep gate to the harbor on the other side of the rocks.
Follow the quay all the way to the right end.
As soon as you approach the end, the red circle will be visible again in your KI bracelet. Walk on and your KI will beep.
Go in 1st person because then you can easily see the GZM ......... Turn left and look at the water. Above the water you can see the 3rd red GZM.
Walk up to the balustrade and click on the GZM. You have now found 3 of the 15 red GZM's.
Go back to the other side, so back through the deep gate, and follow the pedestrian promenade back to the pillar where the Nexus Linking Book is located and link it back to the Nexus Room.
Back in the Nexus room you activate the Holo screen again and then you click the Tokotah Alley link and then again on the yellow button.
The Tokotah Alley book appears. Click on it and you will return to the:
Tokotah Red GZM 4 and Red GZM 5:
Turn left again and go back to the stone staircase and go up the stairs again to the main square. Walk to the right side of the big tree and go stand again before the "roadblock", at the top of the "pyramid trap". Then turn around to the big tree and ............ Look, look ...... you can walk all the way through the tree to the other side.
So walk through the tree to the other side and as you do this the white circle appears in your KI. Walk on to the roadblock that you see in the corner, right in front of the tree. When you approach this roadblock, the red circle in your KI bracelet will flash again. Continue to the barrier and grab the 4th red GZM.
Turn around and walk back to and through the big tree to the roadblock at the "pyramid trap".
When you are in front of the barrier you turn to the right ...... You see the tent again and ...... in the floor you see a ledge that runs along the wall.
Walk forward and walk up that ledge. Walk over the ledge to the stairs and stay on the ledge. At the stairs you follow the ledge backwards.
The ledge is then the top of the staircase wall and behind the ledge is another roadblock. Walk across the ridge to the roadblock and ..... the 5th red GZM appears ....
Well ..... click on the GZM to store these in your KI-bracelet.
Turn around and walk back over the ledge and then descend the stone stairs and go to the Nexus Book on the pillar.
Use the Nexus Linking Book to return to the Nexus Room.
Back in the Nexus Room you activate the Holo screen again and then click on the Bevin link.
Press the Yellow button again and the Bevin Linking Book comes from the Nexus. Click on the link photo again and you will end up in:
Bevin: Red GZM 6:
Make sure your KI-bracelet is back in your screen. Go through the square gate and over bridge 2 to Square 2. Cross Square 2 to the corner on the right behind the D'ni clock.
In the corner, right behind the D'ni clock, an illuminated stone staircase goes down to a bridge over the stream.
So descend the stairs and at the orange pylon you descend the last part of the stairs.
You are now on a bridge over the brook. Right is the water garden. In your KI bracelet that red circle is flashing again.
Turn to the left and you will see the 6th red GZM. Walk to the bridge and then grab the GZM.
Neighborhood Balcony: Red GZM 7:
To find the 7th red GZM you have to go to the "Neighborhood Balcony". You have visited this balcony in "Uru Ages Beyond Myst" via the Linking tablet that you found in the beginning of the Gahreesen Age. The link photo to this "Neighborhood Balcony" was then stored in the "Bevin" linking book that is in slot 8 in your bookcase in Relto. If you have not done "Uru Ages Beyond Myst" then you will first have to do that first part of the Gahreesen Age and then go to the "Neighborhood Balcony" via that Linking Tablet. I'm really not going to explain this here anymore. Read my "Uru Ages Beyond Myst Gahreesen" walkthrough but on it. In any case, you should now return to Relto, so open your Relto Book and link back.
In any case, you should now return to Relto, so open your Relto Book and link back to Relto. In Relto you can now link directly to the Neighborhood Balcony via the Bevin Book in slot 8, if you have done "Uru Ages Beyond Myst". If not, then you first have to go to Gahreesen to look for the Linking tablet to that balcony. I assume that you too have the link to the "Neighborhood Balcony" in the Bevin Book, so pull the Bevin Linking Book out of the closet and scroll to the page that shows the picture of the "Neighborhood Balcony" and then click on the picture
You've landed on the Neighborhood Balcony again. The red circle appears immediately in your AI bracelet. Turn left and you will see the 7th red GZM at the other end of the balcony.
Walk to the GZM and click on it to store this GZM again in your KI-bracelet.
You can only leave this balcony via your Relto book. So pull your Relto Book from the bottom left again and link back to Relto. Back in your Relto grab the yellow Nexus Book from slot 9 of your left bookcase and click on the Nexus Room link picture to return to the Nexus Room. Activate the Holo screen again and use the Kirel Link to go back to:
Kirel: Red GZM 8, Red GZM 9 and Red GZM 10:
Upon arrival, turn left. You will see the "Water Garden" Go down the stairs to the "Water Garden". When you are standing in front of the "water garden" entrance, the red circle will reappear in your KI bracelet.
Walk across the tiles to the thick pillar in the middle of the garden. Walk all the way against this pillar. The 8th red GZM then appears on the "lamp islet" to the right of the pillar
........Click on the GZM to also add it to your KI bracelet. .......
Walk backwards slightly and then continue to the left of the pillar to the stairs behind the pillar. Climb all the way up through the long and dark stairs and then you reach Square 2.
Cross over to the door of the Classroom and go inside. Walk backwards and the red GZM 9 appears in the corner..
Grab the GZM and then turn around and leave the Classroom again.
Go over bridge 2 and the square gate back to square 1, the Fountain Square. On the fountain square you go up the left stairs to the Gallery.
On the gallery you enter the blue corridor in front of the Community Room via the front or the middle gate. Follow the corridor to the right ..... and then the 10th red GZM appears in the back. Grab the thing
Now back to the Nexus Room. Go right here through the gate. You are then back on the gallery. Go down the stairs to Bridge 1 and follow Bridge 1 to the Nexus Book in the semi-circular balcony room.
Link back to the Nexus Room via the book and in the Nexus Room you activate the Holo screen again. Now click on the Concert Hall Foyer link and then the Yellow button again. The Nexus spits out the Concert Hall Foyer Book. Click on the link photo and you end up in the:
Concert Hall Foyer: Red GZM 11, Red GZM 12, Red GZM 13:
Upon arrival you will see a white arrow on the left side of the screen. At the white arrow a long stone staircase goes up.
Do not go there yet, but first turn clockwise. You then look at the other corner of the foyer and you also see a white arrow there.
Now first go to the right white arrow. You come to a barrier and behind the barrier a staircase descends.
Walk between the two barriers and go down the stairs. You enter a cave in a cave and the red circle appears in your AI bracelet.
Walk to the left handrail of this path and the 11th red GZM appears. Grab the GZM
Turn left and go back up the stairs to the foyer and go to that staircase in the other corner.
Climb this long stone staircase completely and also the next stone staircase. Then go through the gate, right next to the pylons, and you are back in the open air.
You are now on a long bridge, high above a wide and deep canyon. Walk to the roadblock at the back of the bridge, but also look to the left and right, along the way, to enjoy the beautiful view. The bridge has collapsed further, but the DRC has provided a narrow planks bridge to continue. The Red Circle appears in your AI bracelet. Walk up the plank bridge and walk on and ..... Halfway through the plank bridge the 12th red GZM appears on the left side of the planks bridge. Grab the GZM
Continue across the plank bridge and then through the gate. You are back in a cave and the path goes left and right. Now first go to the right and then through the gate
Follow the path further, but keep walking on the left side as much as possible. It is a long way. Suddenly you see a number of orange pylons on the right side of the path. Now walk SLOWLY and continue walking. The Red Circle will then appear in your AI bracelet. Continue until your KI bracelet begins to beep. The 13th red GZM then appears on the left side of the path. Grab the GZM
From GZM 13 you just follow the path further and then you descend the stone stairs to the large round platform.
On the round platform, continue to the left to the barrier and you will see the Library Building.
Library: Red GZM 14
Walk between the orange pylons onto the big square. This is a very large round square and you can walk all the way around that Library building, but that does not make any sense. Just walk straight ahead to the stairs of the library. There are two flights of stairs and between the two stairs there is again a barrier. Behind the barrier a staircase goes down. Now go down the stairs down to the lower doors of the library. The doors will open automatically.
So go inside and you're in the big round stairwell of the library. You are here ABOVE the stairwell. Turn slightly to the left and you will see the beginning of the large spiral staircase that goes down to all other floors. However, you can only go down one floor.
Go down 1 level via the spiral staircase and then continue to the right, to the barrier.
The Red Circle will appear in your KI and the 14th red GZM will appear in the corner behind the barrier. Grab the GZM
Go back up via the spiral staircase and leave the library through the doors and the outside staircase.
Cross over to the large round platform and then go right back up to the path via the stone staircase.
Follow the path all the way back to the cave you came in, after you crossed the plank bridge. So in this cave you came out of the left exit.
Stay in the cave on the right side and walk SLOWLY through the cave towards the gate on the other side. As you walk along the right side of the cave as slowly as possible, the Red Circle will appear in your KI bracelet. Walk slowly until your KI bracelet begins to beep. Then stop and look at the right wall of the cave and up a bit. You will see the last, the 15th red GZM, hanging in the illuminated part near a stalactite. Grab the GZM
You have now found all 15 "Red" GZM's and stored their coordinates in your KI bracelet. The KI bracelet must now be re-entered into the Great Zero system. Grab your Relto Book and link back to Relto. In Relto you walk out of your house and you look to the left at the jetty. An "Imager" now stands in front of the jetty. This is here via the Relto Page that you found in the Great Zero Courtyard. Go back into your house and take the brown book from slot 7out of your bookcase. In this book, browse to the photo of the "Great Zero Antechamber" and click on it.
You'll return to the:
Great Zero Antechamber:
Go to the KI-Machine and click on the lock and your Avatar will put her / his KI-bracelet back in the machine
All 15 red GZMs are now registered in the system and now the two glass doors will be opened in the Great Zero Courtyard.
So you have to go there again now. So link back to the Nexus Room via the Nexus Book at the other round window.
In the Nexus Room you activate the Holo screen again and then you click again on the "Rezeero" link. Click on the yellow button and then on the link photo in the Great Zero book that emerges from the Nexus and you start:
Chapter 4: Activating the Great Zero
You are back in the Great Zero Courtyard. Walk to the stairs and descend them to the pond. Go back to the left corner or the right corner behind the pond and then go up the stairs.
You then either follow the path to the left along the canal or the path to the right along the canal and then you come back to the Glass Door. I have taken the right side, but it does not matter if you have taken the left side. Walk against the Glass Door and ...... the Glass Doors now open automatically. Follow the path further back and then go up the stairs.
You will be standing on the balcony above the canal. Continue up the stairs and through the gate and walk on and descend the short stairs. STOP. You are now standing on the "balcony" of the back room. You see a pond beneath you and at the back of the pond is a very large round machine and that is the GREAT ZERO MACHINE.
The Great Zero is a large window through which you see a lake with white water and where 3 yellow "rays" rise up from. Turn left and descend the stairs. You are then on the left side of the pond. There are 2 poles in front of the pond and there is a round machine on each pole.
Also on the other side of the pond are 2 of these round machines. These 4 round machines are the Calibration machines. In the middle of the large circular circle of the Calibration machines there is a button with a small blue light. A KI-Terminal is also attached to each of these 4 round machines. Your intention here s to activate the Great Zero. The Great Zero is activated by activating the 4 round Calibration machines. To activate each of the 4 calibration machines you need a GZM marker again. You now have to find 4 GZM's again. The location of each of these 4 GZM's is given to you by each of the 4 Calibration machines, in the form of a set of coordinates. But you can now only pick up one GZM at a time. If you have found a GZM then you have to return here to put the KI bracelet in the KI-Terminal of the corresponding machine.
Note: In order to find the 4 Calibration GZM's, you must go back to some of the Balconies that you have reached in the Ages of "Uru Ages Beyond Myst" via the Linking Tablets that you found here and there. The link photos to these Balconies are stored in the thick book in Slot 7 of your bookcase in Relto and one of those balconies is in the Bevin Linking Book. I assume that this is also the case with you. If you do not have these link photos in Relto, then you should read my "Uru Ages Beyond Myst" walkthrough to see how you can end up on those balconies.
Name the left Calibration Machine A and the right Calibration Machine you name as B
Calibration of Machine A: The Distance GZM:
Go stand before Calibration Machine A and click on the round Button and ........ Your Avatar puts his / her KI-bracelet in the KI-Terminal and then looks through the viewing hole of the machine. Machine A is the "Distance" Calibration Machine. You see a blue button and two lines on the left. On the right you see white numbers and a big button that rotates.
The white numbers are the coordinates of where you can pick up the "Distance" GZM. The coordinates are: 61131; 74; -84.
Now press the blue button to activate the GZM on those coordinates. If you forget to press the blue button now, the GZM will not appear where it should.
Zoom out of this screen. I can now explain in a very complicated way where you can find the "Distance" GZM. But that's too complicated. I'll just tell you right away. This "Distance GZM" can be found in the Kadish Gallery in the Kadish Tolesa Age. So link back to Relto via your Relto book and take out the thick brown book from slot 7 of your left bookcase. Browse through the book to the page where the link photo of the Kadish Gallery is located and click on the picture
You'll end op in the Kadish Gallery
In the Kadish Gallery your KI bracelet will beep again. If your KI bracelet is no longer in your screen, press your F2 key to make your bracelet appear. You stand in front of the stairs that go to the top of the tower. Turn around to the gazebo where the Linking book to the Kadish Tolesa Age is. To the right of this gazebo the Distance GZM floats in the air.
Walk to the GZM and click on it with your double white round cursor to grab the GZM.
When you have grabbed the "Distance" GZM then link back to Relto, via your Relto book. Back in your Relto house you pull the yellow Nexus book from the left bookcase and link back to the Nexus Room. Activate the Holo screen in the Nexus Room and go back to the Great Zero Courtyard via the "Rezeero" link. Follow the route back to the back room and go back to the "Distance" Calibration Machine A. Click on the round button of Calibration Machine A and ....... you upload the GZM via the KI-Terminal in the system. The two lines at the blue button will now turn white.
Calibration of Machine B: The Toran GZM:
Zoom out of Machine A and click the round button of Machine B. This is the Toran Calibration Machine. Another blue button, this time in a circle.
The coordinates for the Toran GZM are: 59863; 57; -77. Press the blue button to have the GZM appear at these coordinates and zoom out.
The Toran GZM can be found on the balcony above the Canyon (Shopping District of Ae'gura) This balcony can be reached via the link photo in the thick brown book. This photo came in because you went to this balcony in the Kadish Tolesa Age. You did that through the Bahro Linking tablet that is located in the wall niche behind the "gazebo" staircase in the "2nd Round Room". Link back to Relto and then link to this balcony via the link photo in your thick brown book:
You end up on the balcony and your KI bracelet will beep again. Walk to the balustrade and turn to the left and you will see the Toran GZM. Well ....Click on the GZM to grab the thing.
Ok ...... you'll know the drill be now.....Go back to the Toran Calibration machine B, in the back room of the Great Zero Courtyard via Relto, the Nexus Book and the Nexus Room. Click again the hick button to put the Toran GZM into the system. Toran is now activated.
Now walk around the pond to the other side, so to the right of the room. Here are also two calibration machines.
The left Calibration machine is C and that is the "Elevation" machine. The right machine is D and that is the "Great Zero GZM" machine.
Calibration of Machine C: The Elevation GZM
Activate Machine C by clicking on the thick button. The Blue button is at the middle of a cross and the coordinates are: 60143; 1001; -70. Press the blue button.
Zoom out and Link back to Relto. The "Elevation GZM" can be found on the balcony above Bevin Square 2.
So zap back to Relto and grab the Bevin Linking Book from slot 8 of your left bookcase and browse through the book to the link photo of square 2
Click on the Link photo and you will end up on the Balcony above the Square 2 of Bevin and exactly above the Classroom and the Egg Room
Your KI bracelet goes wild again. Turn clockwise until you see the GZM in the dark corner.
Grab the GZM and link back (route must be known now) to the back room of the Great Zero Courtyard. Activate the Elevation Calibration machine C again to upload the GZM into the system
Calibration of Machine D: The Great Zero GZM:
Activate Machine D by pressing its blue button. The GZM for this machine will activate the Great Zero, but this GZM is the hardest of all to obtain.
In this machine you see 3 vertical bars and the blue button is in the middle bar. The coordinates are: 57325; 110; -79. Press the blue button again and go out of this screen.
Link back to Relto and get the thick brown book out of your bookcase again. Browse to the link photo of the Library in Ae'gura and click on it:
You arrive at the square near the library and are probably on the left side of this square. Turn left and stay still for a while because it will be difficult, so I want to explain something to you first.
Make sure your KI bracelet is visible in your screen by pressing your F2 key. Also make sure you are in 3rd person. You will already have noticed those 3 figures, with the numbers below, in the rectangular transparent screen of your KI bracelet. And you will also have seen that the numbers under those 3 figures always change as you walk. Well, those figures are the coordinates of the GZM. In that screen you can see whether you are in the right place if the coordinates of the GZM appear in the screen.
What you have to do is to walk along the left side of the library building to the front of this enormous square.
There are "roadblock barriers" on the edge of the square to prevent you from falling into the abyss.
Stay in 3rd person and walk slowly, if you were running. In 3rd person, walk between the two road markers to the EXTREME EDGE and then turn clockwise.
You will see the red circle in your KI bracelet. Now keep an eye on the coordinate counter of your KI bracelet. The counter will have just about the numbers you see above in the picture. You will never and never get the coordinates 57324,1109, -79 in your KI bracelet, but that is not so bad ....... Make sure you do not fall down. Move slowly and step by step, over the far edge ahead until you get the coordinates 57224; 109, -78 in your KI-bracelet. You will then be able to see the GZM. Turn around so that you look at the big lake and make sure that the GZM ends up exactly on the feet of your Avatar, while in your counter the coordinates are still 57224; 109, -78
You can not take the GZM in 3rd Person, because the screen is misleading. The GZM does not float on your feet but in reality it is deeply beneath you, floating in the abyss. Press your F1 key to go into the 1st person and make sure you can see down the edge into the depth. You then see the GZM on the rocks deep below you and in your Coordinate counter are still the coordinates 57224; 109, -78
Ok ...... place your white round cursor on the GZM first ....... You can not click on the GZM ..... You must JUMP DOWN NOW or JUST WALK OVER THE EDGE....and ....... you fall into the depth and in a "split second" your white round cursor, that you have still placed on the GZM, changes to the CLICK CURSOR ........ so CLICK on the GZM and .... When you was fast enough with your click then you will have caught the GZM
You will of course return to your Relto House. You do not really know if you have the last GZM or not, so link back, via the Nexus Room, to the Great Zero Courtyard.
Note: Once you're back in the Great Zero Courtyard, press your F2 key to get your KI- to bring out the bracelet again. If you now see numbers in the coordinate screen, this means that you have not caught the last GZM. If you only see zeros in the screen then you have the GZM and you can continue. If you do not have the last GZM now then you will have to try again and you will have to keep doing that until you have the last GZM. You always have to go back to the Library Square to try and get hold of the last GZM.... Do not despair ..... it has taken me a few attempts to get that shitty GZM. If you really do not succeed then you can not do the last piece of "To D'ni" and then this is the END for you. But I assume that you have also succeeded in obtaining the last GZM.
Go again to the back room of the Great Zero Courtyard and activate Calibration Machine D again and ...... the 3 bars become white.
NB: if the 3 bars do not turn white then this means that you do not have scored the last GZM, at the library.
As soon as you have entered this last GZM, in Machine D, a white ray of energy passes through the large round machine that is in front of the large window, above the pond, and this energy beam comes from an island in the white lake and now goes through the wall and through the canal to the large Obelisk above the pond, in the Courtyard
Leave the back room via the stairs and go back to the front of the Courtyard. On the way you notice the new Yeesha Journey symbol that is now visible above the canal. When you reach the front pond you see that the Great Zero (because that is the big obelisk) is now spinning around. You can now see blue rays along the walls. Go up the stairs to the gallery and to the Nexus Linking Book.
Link through the Nexus Book back to the Nexus room. Activate the Holo screen in the Nexus Room and click on the Tokotah Alley Link.
Click on the Yellow button and then on the link photo in the book and you will return to the:
Tokotah Alley:
Go to the right and go behind the barrier on the edge of the abyss. Go back to 3rd person and wait patiently of what has to come now.....
Just stay on the edge waiting for the Blue Ray of the Great Zero. It may take some time until the beam appears. The blue ray draws the new Yeesha Journey Symbol in the sky
As soon as you see the Yeesha Symbol, you JUMP TO it and pass through it and you end up in a new location.
The Great Shaft Room:
You have landed in the Great Shaft Room. The link to this room is now also in the Thick Brown book in Relto, so you can always link back here from Relto.
Investigate the room. You will find a Nexus Book and the diary of Dr. Watson, lying at the table on the floor, read the diary of Dr. Watson.
Furthermore, there is a broken KI dispenser. In the wall there are 2 sleeping niches and in the right niche is a Relto Page
Grab the Relto Page and click on the image to add it to your Relto Book. In your Relto House you now also have a Music Player.
You have actually reached the End of this first part of the Expansion Pack. You can now finish in two ways. In one of the corners of the room is the exit
The exit takes you to a ledge that goes down like a spiral staircase through the round shaft. Just follow the ledge down until you collapse or just jump into the depth yourself.
Or you pull out your Relto Book and link back to Relto.
In both cases you get the message that this is not yet the END and that more will follow.
To D'ni Ends Here.....go on with the second part of the Expansion Pack......The Path of the Shell.
