You must place five colored marbles on the grid to represent the locations of the five fire marble domes on riven s islands.
Riven colored marbles puzzle.
Go up the stairs on your left.
If you are really stuck here is the solution.
Others change randomly each time the game is played so they have to be discovered during gameplay.
Since a most of riven s puzzles are based on the exploration of the world there are only a few direct solutions.
How do i figure out where the marbles go on the grid.
Go round the rock and take your first proper look at the riven isles.
Marble puzzle solution once completed successfully this will restore the power to all the fire marble domes around riven.
The map room on plateau island helps determine the exact grid location of each dome and the survey room on plateau island helps determine the appropriate colors to use.
Each of the five spinning domes is associated with a colour and you can determine four of them through the nearby viewfinders.
At the top left is the entrance to a round rotating room some stairs leading down and a bridge to the right.
To access the other doors in the rotating room press the button four times.
However the fifth is inaccessible until after you solve the puzzle to the best of my knowledge so you end up having to guess the final colour granted from only two choices.
For me the worst part is the marbles puzzle.
Often there is a lot of area that you can explore with access to lots of devices that seem like puzzles.
If not the marbles stay where they are and you need to try again.
If you have solved the puzzle you should hear the system powering up the linking books and see the marbles ending back on the right.
We finally solve the much talked about but so far unseen fire marble puzzle and power up the book domes so that next time we can finally pay a visit to gehn.
Open any of the marble domes and enter the 5 d ni numbers you have obtained from gehn s book these are always different therefore if you have not obtained these you need to go back to his lab on crater island and get them.
The puzzles to be solved are scattered around the world and are often integrated very naturally into the environment.
