I have read all the discussions about this topic, but i am still stuck. I have tried to draw the orbiting planet about 50 times, and each time the Bahro reject it, i have also tried the Pacman and the Cirle with the Plus sign in it....nothing works....do the pacman and plus sign only work on Macs? or do they have to be in the begining of the age? HELP!

I am so frustrated by this....

will someone post a link to a saved game right when you get to the keep the last time? If that is possible....i'm sure Esher will say something and i'd like to hear it, but before the tablet is released? i just need to get to the Toldemer Keep really.....but its the last one i have left...and i'd rather not play all the games again...

i guess it doesn't matter what age you're coming from, as long as you save it before you unlock the last tablet thingy....

Welcome to the forums!

I can't post a saved game, but here is a spoiler:


Try varying the size of the circles, and note that the small circle is not at the top, as it may seem in the viewer in the red room.

Thank you!

I don't know what i did differently....i had the right symbol....but after reading your post i tried three more times and it worked!

Thanks again!

Great! I've played through Myst V several times, and this symbol has always been the most problematic one, I usually have to draw it four or five times before the Bahro will recognize it.

That's strange. Actually, I did draw the circle with the plus in it (as seen on the wall in the tram station), and the Bahro did give me the link to the space station!

And I hadn't even figured out how to turn on the power at the third pillar, let alone find the bahro symbol. (It felt like I was cheating, so I found another earlier save game, and did it the right way.)

Welcome to the forums!

Did you want to ask a question? You have only quoted the first post in this thread.

This is truly annoying. I was screwing around the first time I played this, experimenting with those little symbols on the rim of the tablet and accidentally got to the space station/endpoint for this Age. Now I'm trying to play through the "right" way and I still can't get the bahro to recognize the right symbol.

It may take several tries! Take a good look at the picture higher up in this thread. The size of the circles and the position of the small circle are important.

I've often been frustrated by the Bahro's unwillingness to recognize the symbols I draw, but I've always got there in the end.
