This world is powered by windmill energy and water. So, before we can do anything, we need to hook everything up right in the windmill. To get there, go Forward three times, Forward-Left, Forward, Forward-Right, Forward, Forward-Left, and Forward four times.
If you look down here, you'll see a switch, much like the switches controlling train tracks. Water, which is the energy source here, can only flow to some places at some times. We'll have to throw the switches correctly in order to power the things we need in this world. We'll use this particular switch as a reference point. I'll refer to it from now on as the "starting switch".
Looking forward, you'll see the windmill. Go inside, so we can power up! There should be a faucet handle at your feet. Turning it will start water flowing. Energy will now start flowing on Channelwood. HINT: You'll be able to hear running water when you are standing on top of the pipe that has water flowing through it.
Go back outside the windmill to the starting switch. Look down at the switch and ensure that the water is flowing to the left. You can't get to the stairs yet (which needs to be done). Go: Forward-left, the Forward three times, and check the switch. The water should be going to the right. Go Foward-right, and Forward, and check this switch. Water should be going right. Go Forward-right, and Forward, and check this switch. Water should be going right. Go Forward-right, then Forward three times and a motor will be running. Open the elevator door and get in. Throw the handle and take off!
NOTE: THIS IS TOUGH TO FOLLOW! Go: Forward, Forward-right twice, Forward twice, Right, and then Forward three times to the room with lots of pots lying around. Go Right from this room, the Forward four times, and throw the Switch. You'll see something moving in the distance and that's where you need to get to. Turn around 180 degrees and go Forward four times (i.e. return to the room with the pots), and go Right, Forward twice, Forward-right, and Forward six times. Now go Right, Forward three times, and forward down the stairs. Open the door. Go forward five times.
We're back at the starting switch. Change the water's direction toward the stairs (right). Go left, and then Forward six times. Climb the stairs, turn left, and there's the elevator. Flip the switch, which will take you to the third floor, where you'll exit.
Turn around 180 degrees. Go Forward-right, then Forward three times. This is a bedroom of some sort. There's a night stand in the room with drawers. Go to it. The Red Page is in the left side. On the right side, you'll find half of a white Vault note. COPY THE INFORMATION DOWN, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT! The other half is in Stoneship. Leave the room and go Forward four times, Forward-right, and then Forward again four times. This room has some smoke and mirrors, but you're on your way out! Leave by going out the opposite door form the one you entered.
Go Right, Forward twice, Forward-left and Forward. Enter this room to find the blue note! There are some messages in this room using the machine. They're not that important. Leave the room and go Forward twice, then Forward-right. Get back to the elevator. Throwing the switch will get you to the second floor. Go down the stairs.
Start from the starting switch and change the switch to the left. Go Forward-left, and Forward three times. Change this switch so the water goes right. Go forward-right, and Forward. At this switch, make sure the water is going left. Go Forward-left and forward. Going left with the water, Forward-left and Forward get's you to a bunch of forwards until you see an engine/pump lookin' thing at the end of the path. Go Forward-right, and Forward three times. Flip the switch and watch a magic bridge appear!
Follow the path forward until you get to the elevator. Turn around and trace the pipe left, until it runs out. Find the crank here and crank it. The pipe will extend. Turn around and head towards the elevator, but go past it back to the bridge and motor/pump. From here, go Forward three times, and forward-left. Go Forward, Forward-right, Forward, and look down. Throw the switch to the other side. Turn left and go to the next switch. The water should be flowing beneath your feet. Turn around, go forward, Right, Forward, Forward-left, Forward, Forward-right, and a ton of forwards until you reach the elevator. Get in, shut the door, and throw the lever. Open the door and you'll see the Myst book!
