Arqade Asked by Ben Lee on September 30, 2021
In Channelwood in Myst a particular lever doesn’t appear to be working. The explanation for my problem contains a spoiler, so I’ve hidden the text below:
Am I missing a key step here? Or could this be or is this a known bug?
I’m playing Myst on the iPhone in case that makes any difference. I don’t believe it should, since the content of the game should not be any different.
This appears to be a bug. If it plays the door-open animation, the door should end up opening. It's unknown what sequence of events or factors cause this bug to occur. But it can definitely be avoided by doing this action as the very first thing in the game. Of course, most sequences of game actions will avoid this bug since I've not been found any other reports of this online, but to definitely avoid the bug, the minimal sequence works. That is, perform the minimal sequence of events necessary to get to Channelwood and then from there, perform the minimal sequence of events necessary to get to the lever.
It may be possible to avoid this bug just by loading to an earlier save point (instead of restarting) and again performing the minimal steps from there. Unfortunately, I didn't have an earlier save game to test this myself, but it's quite possible the bug is only triggered by a certain sequence of actions in Channelwood itself.
I did eventually manage to finish the game by doing that lever in Channelwood first.

If this is the lever you mean, once you've pulled the lever to unlock the door, your next step is to go back down the stairs and divert water power to the elevator.
Since you can only have power flowing to one piece of equipment at a time, the function of the stairs is to allow you to move between levels without using the elevator.
