RIGHT through whorl tube lit by small mushrooms toward sea to another Swinging Vine, to Lower Level via Vine 2 –>Īt 4 or 5 steps in, can go off to side away from 1 st Giant Purple Plant (to left if coming from entry point) –> can go to Giant Purple Plant Up 3 steps to slightly above Sharp Horned Stump, able to step Let’s see what’s on Far Side of Frond at Base of Mushroom Stair: Puff pollen in the air that the flies around the antennae of the Purple Plant seem to react to. Would focus on SquidBulb, perhaps bursting it, but must pre-set, then get back to Area #1ġ st puff pod (just before entrance to Blue Tube of Giant Purple PlantĢ nd puff pod (right up near Giant Purple Plant)

Would focus on Tendrils ? of BirdTrap Pod, but is NOT lit. With Sun directed, Opens Frond #2 to FarSide ForestĪccessed via using Irises to focus on Frond #2 Initially no light on it, can see Frond from here With Sun directed, not immediately clear where it directs light Off initially -> On Once on it stays on goes OFF if SquidBulb near Mural is on Lights & shows squid, presumably turns POWER on Off initially -> Then On Once on it stays on unless bulb near Green Staircase is on Return to Area #1 via Frond opened by pulling Lantern #2 Lights, shows squid, presumably turns POWER onĪccessed by Lantern #1 to open Frond #1 + getting Rabbit to break bridge + Swing #1 With Sun directed, Opens 2 nd Spiral Staircase So far, vision only: See Linking Book to New Age Haven’t yet found point of pointing light at the Iris that doesn’t open the Frond. RIGHT: Down Staircase past Iris on right to Middle Iris to final Iris at bottomĪs I recall, there should be one more lightable SquidBulb down one of these two paths. LEFT: Down to green forest, down, down, down, go past another lightable Squid Buld, then past Saavedra message video, then leads to frond (open only if light is on it) Find new pages:ĮLSE (within Area #2) –> Yellowish Path down to Trapped Bird, to another controllable Bulb, at Mural. This makes LEFT swing possible –> Forest Area #2 (Middle Island)Īfter Swing (Edanna MIDDLE SIDE of ISLAND), past where bridge was: another Lantern opens Frond, leads BACK to (on right of path before it ends) to Yellow Cleft entrance to Forest Area #1.

Right: to RabbitTrap by lifting trap & rolling berry two steps, then returning to bridge, use handle to get rabbit to cross bridge, that then collapses. Single path up first spiral –> open second spiral with SunFocuser Flower –> down second spiral staircase to –> Giant Banana, along vine, –> FOREST, AREA #1 SquidBulb A (ON, no controls) –> Follow path along platform-like vine, come to bulb (unlit), which, when pressed, becomes ON SquidBulb #1 –> through Yellow Cleft arrive at Yellowish Branch Bridge, cross bridge, down blue tunnel arrive at FurledLeaf and Lantern #1. Maybe you’ll find the solution to something you’re so stuck on that you’re ready to just go do something else. I am posting this now, before I’ve completed the puzzle. I gotta take my hat off (exposing my quite bald head) to the folks who made this game. It deliberately disorients you visually, so you don’t always know if you’re going left or right.īut it has fascinated me, entertained me for many hours. It introduces an element I don’t personally love: visual confusion of where you’re going into the mix. That’s what introduced me to these worlds.Įdanna, like my all-time favorite, Alida, is a fantastic world as well puzzle. A game, it turned out, that was perfect for an iPhone. To my mind, it is entirely on the same order of the original Myst. This puzzle is absolutely fascinating, if sometimes frustrating. May give away too much if you’re solving the puzzle on your own, but might be helpful when you’re confused or stuck or simply curious. Figure a way to get hints when you’re stuck.Įdanna (This is one person’s route through Edanna, so not strictly a walkthrough. Save games frequently with a naming sequence that works for you. There are three things that are most crucial to solving these kinds of puzzles: 1. For those familiar with the term, this is not strictly speaking a “walkthrough.” A stumblethrough, perhaps? Edanna can easily be made to work on a Mac, something that cannot be said of many imaginary-world puzzle games.

For those familiar with the term, this is not strictly speaking a “walkthrough.” A stumblethrough, perhaps?Įdanna is a “world” in the larger system of worlds that is Myst III: Exile. Exile can easily be made to work on a Mac, something that cannot be said of many imaginary-world puzzle games. It is an imaginary-world puzzle gameĮdanna is a “world” in the larger system of worlds that is Myst III: Exile. This is not an “essay.” It’s really my notes as I play a kind of game I enjoy.
