Anya will greet you as soon as you enter the temple complex, but Yannin will only appear beside the damaged Harvester after you enter the memory chamber, and after that Caradell will appear by the dock after you remove the winged snake from the water wheel. Follow the Plotted Line: Most encounters in Serenia are triggered by unrelated actions, allowing you to stumble around wondering whether you're supposed to solve a puzzle or receive more exposition.There's no exploration possible here, rather it serves as the backdrop for solving two non-consecutive puzzles. Eldritch Location: The Dream Land location in Serenia where you need a spirit guide to keep you safe from venturing off into oblivion.note It doesn't help that her performance is generally considered to be the weakest in the entire series. Dull Surprise: Yannin reacts to the broken harvester by saying, 'This is so not good'.The entire thing consists of abstract imagery and bizarre spiritual banter. Disney Acid Sequence: Memory, both times.Died in Your Arms Tonight: Achenar dies in Yeesha's arms.Continuity Nod: Both Sirrus and Achenar react with recognition upon meeting The Stranger since they'd already met in the first game.Chess Motifs: Yes Sirrus, Atrus made a Légal move.Cast as a Mask: Inverted and has some gender bending thrown in with Sirrus.The Descriptive Book for Rime is stated to be located in the Cleft.note These first two actually break if the only version of Myst you played was the 2021 VR-supported remake, since that version doesn't contain Rime or the crystal viewer. When the sound system blows out causing a partial power failure, Atrus heads off to Rime to get some spare parts.The puzzle involves Crystal Viewer Version 2.0.Three guesses what their prison ages are named, and why. Sirrus' page is in the middle of crystalline spires, while Achenar's is in the little spot of vegetation left - a haven. Call-Back: Three of the Ages in the original Myst have separate rooms that Sirrus and Achenar have inhabited at some point, where their pages are.She'll eventually say 'Don't want to? That's fine'. At the beginning Yeesha insists you take a picture (but doesn't tell you how) if you take too long trying to figure it out, or simply don't want to. Bittersweet Ending: Yeesha is safe, but Achenar dies in a Redemption Equals Death moment.Big Electric Switch: Sirrus' Spider Throne has one used as a circuit breaker, which trips open if there's too much power going to the throne.Bamboo Technology: Achenar apparently built a rail-based chair in Haven using this that leads all the way back to the Linking Chamber at the start.Artifact Title: Around the beginning, in one of bedrooms (the one with the lamp puzzle) there is a painting above the fireplace of Atrus, Catherine, and Sirrus and Achenar as kids hanging out by the tiny pool on Myst Island you can also see the clocktower in the background.The Artifact: The Cyan Worlds logo plays during the opening even though the company had no involvement in the making of this game.Which is fair enough, as they'd done exactly the same thing to Saavedro For the Evulz. And I Must Scream: Sirrus and Achenar were imprisoned in Spire and Haven respectively, completely alone, for over 20 years.

Caradell, the one who is suspicious of the Stranger.Yannin, the one who discovers the broken harvester.

Myst IV: Revelation contains the following tropes: The Stranger wakes up and goes into Sirrus and Achener's Prison Ages of Haven and Spire to locate Yeesha. Twenty years later, Atrus has made new Linking books to their Ages and invited the Stranger to act as their one person parole board.īefore the Stranger can see if they've repented, a explosion knocks the Stranger out, and Atrus' and Catherine's daughter Yeesha disappears in the chaos. It ends up Sirrus and Achenar were not trapped in Prison books that Atrus destroyed, killing them, but are stuck in actual Ages and Atrus only destroyed their Linking books. Rand Miller once again reprises his role as Atrus.
