Myst URU - 08/17/15 02:55 AM

Re: Myst URU - 08/17/15 03:27 AM
Here is a spoiler from the beginning of a walkthrough:
You begin your quest standing in the desert. Turn around and walk towards the sign next to the closed fence. Walk around the sign and you'll see some kind of hand sign at the back. Touch the first hand sign and notice that a part of the sign will blink.
Turn around and walk towards the right side of the volcano. Notice that there's a trailer in the distance. Walk towards the trailer and speak with the man in front of the trailer. It turns out to be a guy called Jeff Zandi. Listen to what he has to tell you. If you want to hear his story again just speak to him. If you got stuck you can also ask him for vital clues.
Walk around the trailer and notice another hand sign. Touch the second hand sign and now two parts will blink. Turn around and notice a cleft nearby. Walk passed the cleft into the desert. You'll see something lying around in the distance. Walk to that part of the desert. The first item you'll see is a destroyed telescope you've seen earlier in good old Riven. You can't do anything with it. So walk further into the dessert. Nearby you'll find a skeleton of one of the sea creatures out of Riven. Walk into the head part of the skeleton. You'll discover another hand sign. Touch the third hand sign to activate it. Now walk back to the cleft. Notice the windmill standing near the cleft. Push the big lever and... nothing happens. Hmmm... could have imagined that!
See if you can figure out what you might have missed.

You can't move the wind thing until
you remove the brake, which you'll find in the caves below

My unsought and unimportant opinion is that URU (Well, the first part)may well be the greatest game ever made. Hang in there a while. It's worth it.

Re: Myst URU - 08/17/15 08:26 AM
You are on Part#1 of the complete chronicles and all 3 of these walkthroughs are for part#1 so you can use any(or all) of them. There are different walkthroughs for part#2 and#3.

hi, wellyeesha gone butcan't see pedal on floor to lower bucket ,help..
I sure hope I'm in the right place.just about done with the 1st part just befor Relto,-can't find the pedal on floor to lower a bucket ..
Posted By: Marian
Re: i give up uru - 08/18/15 11:44 PM
I moved your post to your original Uru thread - make all your posts here and we can follow along with your progress.
I'll see if I can find some help for you about this; otherwise, hopefully other players will be able to provide assistance.
It looks like it's easy to get lost in this area - can you go back to the house and then try these instructions once you are outside the house?
While inside the house, go down to the first floor and open the door by
pressing the blue button. Go outside, fall to the gully and again cross to the
other side as if going to Yeesha's. On the door you closed will be the sixth
Journey Cloth, so touch it. Only one to go.
Fall down to the bottom of the gully, turn to the right and go to the tree.
Turn to the right, climb up, climb the small stairs and cross the first bridge,
being careful not to fall through the gap at the end. Once across, there is a
bucket on a winch and a wooden pedal on the floor.

Posted By: Marian
Re: i give up uru - 08/19/15 03:15 AM
I think you're good to go; here's the info about the save system again:
Unfortunately, there is no way for an user to save the game when he wants
to. The game automatically saves any change you make to the Ages, and
the Journey Cloths save your position within an Age, enabling you to return
to it by linking from Relto. By default the game always loads to Relto Age
I'm sure you will get used to the save system after a while.

Oh BTW is there a easy way to change to a brighter screen ,some times its very dark in the game hard to see things ???
Posted By: Marian
Re: i give up uru - 08/21/15 03:15 AM
Look around the main menu/settings/options, and see if there is a gamma correction setting that you could raise or lower - that might help.
I don't have the game, so I have no way of knowing if anything like this is available in the game settings, but it's worth taking a look.
Posted By: deleterman
Re: i give up uru - 08/21/15 05:50 PM
thanks , should i lower it or raise it to make it brighter ?
Posted By: Marian
Re: i give up uru - 08/21/15 06:05 PM
Try raising it until you have a level of brightness that works for you.
Posted By: deleterman
Re: i give up uru - 08/21/15 06:20 PM
ok tried it and screewwed that up , so i just went back , it will be ok.
Posted By: Marian
Re: i give up uru - 08/21/15 07:23 PM
There are other ways to try to up the brightness, but you would adjust settings outside of the game - you would need to post over in Glitches if you wanted help with that.

Re: Myst URU - 08/24/15 05:51 PM
yes it is ,just hit a bump in the road - at the part where i pull the lever and jump into the bucket to go up to get thesecond journey ,but after i click on the lever he goes backwards .the controls at backwards .help ,,,
trying to get into bucket ,but as i click to leave to go and git into bucket he goes backwards and not the right way and i loose time ,help
Posted By: Marian
Re: URU - 08/24/15 06:37 PM
Are you still in Teledahn? If so, here is the advice I could find:
Down the stairs on the left is a bucket that you can jump into. Pull the lever and race round to the bucket, you have about 5 seconds to get on board. If you miss, then you need to pull the lever to stop the transport. Getting it to stop in the right place is a little tricky but pulling the lever just as two buckets pass each other is about right.
thanks a million,yes i'm in teledahn,thats the thing as soon as i click on the lever the controls for me to go down the stairs is backwards ..any thought on that ?
Posted By: Marian
Re: URU - 08/24/15 08:14 PM
I don't know.
Are you resetting the mechanism when you miss the bucket?
If you miss the bucket, you will have to reset the mechanism. To do it,
you will have to go to the lever and look at the moving buckets. When one of
them going up crosses one of the ones coming down, operate the lever. With
luck, this will make the bucket that is coming down stop in front of the dark
area I referred before. Then you will have to operate the lever again, run to
the bucket and climb aboard.
If you are doing this, and the bucket is still going backwards, then I don't have an answer for you - hopefully another player will be able to help. All I can think of is that there might be another puzzle to solve before you can get into the bucket.
oh the buckets not going backwards , its me after i click on lever and try to run to the bucket ,i can't go strait to the bucket ,ihve to back off the ramp backwards .

Posted By: The Haze
Re: URU - 08/24/15 11:28 PM
Wander around and find a new one somewhere after the bucket-trip. Otherwise you'll have to do the bucket routine again. (It's been a while, but I think there's one in that building somewhere.)
U lost me there .??
are U talking about the third journey cloth.

Re: Myst URU - 08/26/15 04:17 PM
fingered that out ,walkthrough not clear,anyway on my way to the telescope that shoots i fell off ramp and had to start over again ,so back at the shooting telescope now ,i don't see any ladder !!
Posted By: Marian
Re: Myst URU - 08/26/15 04:25 PM
It sounds like you have to pan (turn around/rotate) while using the telescope in order to spot the ladder.
While you are looking through the telescope, find a hanging ladder on the opposite rocks.
Assuming this is where you are in the game, of course.

Posted By: Marian
Re: Myst URU - 08/27/15 04:13 PM
Apart from looking at the walkthrough to figure out how to get back there, I can't really help out here.
Maybe another Uru player will be able to offer some advice.

Posted By: deleterman
Re: Myst URU - 08/28/15 05:28 PM
Yes it is ,and the worst thing is the controls, some times U want to go forwards and U click and U go back , and like me fall off the ramp and have to go back ,at this pace it will take me a year to get to the end...
just getting tired of it ..
Posted By: Jenny100
Re: Myst URU - 08/28/15 06:15 PM
Yes it is, and the worst thing is the controls, some times U want to go forwards and U click and U go back
Consider whether the controls are character-relative or camera-relative.
In other words, assuming the game uses character-relative controls, if the character is facing to the right, his backwards would be to the left on your screen. If he is facing you, his forwards is your backwards.
If the game used camera-relative controls, he could be facing any direction and using the U key would make him move toward the top of your screen.
Of course if the camera is swinging around all the time, camera-relative controls are unreliable, while character-relative controls are not. If he's facing off a cliff, he'll remain facing off a cliff no matter where the camera gyrates to.
You may want to switch to first person point-of-view for jumps. It can be easier to line them up.

I keep falling off a ramp or something and have to start over ,yikes .same thing over and over again.i click to go one way and i go over board and have to start over .gitting tired of this game .
but thanks for your help. I just might give up onthis game .
Deleterman are you at the rotating walkway? If you are try this. Wait for the "lower walkway on the rock" to be almost in front of you and then do a running jump a few feet back from the edge. Jumpjust before it is in front of you. There is a slight delay so when you actually jump it should be right in front of you. Be sure you touch the journey cloth before you continue off the rock.
It is easier to make the jump in 3rd person with caps locked to run automatically. Be careful when you land that you don't go off the "rock edge". Good luck!

Posted By: Marian
Re: i give up uru - 09/03/15 12:19 AM
If you are in Kadish Tolesa and you pressed a blue button, a walkthrough states:
If all three mechanisms are set correctly you will see a door open on the far wall. Go through the door and into the next room. Press the blue button and the door will close. On the back of the door is the third Journey Cloth.

Posted By: Jenny100
Re: i give up uru - 09/03/15 01:38 AM
It looks like all the other ones.
If you are facing the big gear, the door is to the right.
The cloth is not on the door, but if you are at the switches and look in the direction of the door you should see it.
Check the beginning of the video walkthrough I linked to above.
The cloth should be right there.

Re: i give up uru - 09/03/15 01:49 AM
thanks ,i am at the swithes is it past the grate and before the door?it's not out side BTW is it the one on the wall that i passed when i came in???is that the third journey cloth ??
Posted By: Jenny100
Re: i give up uru - 09/03/15 03:56 AM
The first cloth is after jumping over the crack in the floor.
The second cloth is after climbing the ladderlike rungs in the room where you climb up through the ceiling.
The third one is in the room with the big gear. If you're facing the switches, the cloth is to your left, hanging on a slanted wall. If you're standing next to the switches with your back to the switches, the cloth is on your right.
The fourth cloth is on the rock you jump to.
The fifth one is in the other building that you have to jump across to.
The other two have to be accessed through a link on Teledahn.

thanks.
Posted By: Jenny100
Re: Myst URU - 09/04/15 04:15 AM
You just have to be methodical. The building goes in a circle, so make sure you don't turn around the other direction every time you check a door. Decide if you're going to go clockwise or counter-clockwise around the building and as long as you don't reverse direction, the door inwards will always be on the same side.

Re: Myst URU - 09/14/15 04:17 PM
deleterman -how are you coming along in Uru? Have been wondering. I played (or tried to but problems with jumping and having to do some things quickly). Have been following this post. Not seen a post from you in several days so hope you are doing well in the game. don't give up! I watched the youtube video (link posted in this thread) and realized how much I had missed - maybe some day will try it again. I just have always felt it was such a shame that this game with such a good story line and so interesting and great artwork and sound should be almost impossible to play unless you can on occasion do timed (too short) puzzles or excel at jumping (unless you have arthritis in hands/wrists. (me), really ticked me off and finally I gave up. So am hoping you are going to be able to do what I could not!! So hang in there!
