Big Dome Island After the opening animation, leave the cage and look over the side of the cliff on your right. The guy that got hit with the dart is laying down there (just in case you were wondering where he went). Go up the stairs to the start of the bridge. Turn left and you will see a gold room with large columns and beetles and stuff. You may want to look in the beetles before proceeding (tje pictures help explain the plot). The room has two doors and 5 passageways leading from it. The button to the right of the entrance rotates the room. Hit the button 4 times (you will see a cool animation 4 times) and you should be facing a dark wall with a peephole. Turn around and continue to follow the stairs down the other side of the hill. Turn left when you reach the end of the path and you should see a locked gate. Go under the gate and through the cave. You should see the gold room again, with the other opening in the room aligned to another cave, across the room and slightly to the left. If you do not see this, go back to the button to rotate the room again. Continue to hit the button and then check the rotation in the cave until you can get to the other cave. Here is the illustration of the rotating room: In the second cave there is a lever on a pipe. Turn it. These kinds of levers power various items on the islands of riven, usually by diverting water or steam to the appropriate device. This particular switch turns on the power to the telescope (move on that later). Turn around and go to the entrance back into the rotating room, but don't go in yet. You should see a switch on your left - these types of switches open gates and doors. Flip it, do not hit the rotation button, just the switch. Go back through the rotating room and through the cave, back up the stairs, to the first rotation button and hit it 4 more times. You should now be able to access the | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Big Dome Island #2 Again, follow the catwalk around the inside of the big dome until it ends. Turn the wheel on the left of the ramp to extend a section of the catwalk. After crossing the new section, immediatly turn left and hit a lever, on the right of the door, before going out on the bridge. This will raise the bridge in front of you into a ramp. Turn around and go back over the newly extended section. Take the first right. A section of the bridge outside will be missing. Turn around and hit the button to the right of the door, on the outside of the dome. This will activate an elevator, which will fill in the missing part of the path. Turn back around and continue along the bridge. When you get to the end of the path, hit the switch to open the door (this is the back door, incidentally) and go through the beetle room - you should come out at the bridge where you started the game. Hit the first rotation button by the bridge 2 times. Go back through the gold beetle room and up the ramp which you raised to the grid. Place the marbles in the grid as shown at right : . Turn around and click the switch on the left wall. Pull the switch down and push the white button it was covering. You will hear a noise, leave the switch down. Go back down the stairs and back through the Gold Room to the Bridge and the first rotation button. Hit the button 3 times and go through the gold room again back into the Big Dome (via, again, the back door). Follow the catwalk inside as far down as it will go and then go outside the dome along the bridge, but stop right before the path goes through the tunnel. Turn right and hit the button on the wall. You will be lowered. Turn around and go up the stairs and along the path to the spinning dome. Look through the viewer and click the button on top when the gold eye is showing. This may take a couple tries. (usually I just click it a whole lot.. if it's not working, you might have a technical problem. Check out the faq). The Dome will stop and open. Go up to the dome and enter the code you learned from the book in the laboratory. Open the book and touch the cool animated picture. (what? No cool animated picture, just blackness? Well, that's no fun.. a lot of people have problems understanding what the heck we're talking about, so we made a special section of the faq, just for you.. it's got animated gifs.. :) Ghen's House Your in a cage again. (Geez, what is it with this guy and cages? Maybe you look funny.. that could be why the villagers run away too.. :) Turn around to find the button and push it. It's some kind of doorbell or something.. once you push it, you will be rewarded with a seven minute speech by Ghen on how he has changed his ways (you can hit spacebar if you want to skip it.. here's the gist : | |||||||||||||||||||||||
