You know have a nice view of all the walking you just did in order to set the symbols to the positions you needed, for the railways in front of you to work properly. Pull the lever directly in front of you and watch the mysterious top half of the central building on the island lift into the air and drop another crystal ball down onto the railway. Once the ball has successfully navigated the railway, you will see the control panel show another movie of the last weighted platform being lifted into the air and then falling back down into the water. The control panel doors will close and you get your second code [FIG 9 on previous page]. Now you only have one more puzzle of the three to solve before you have to complete the final one.

Pull the lever and the platform will lower you back down. Turn to your right and grab the pages. You browse through them to find it doesn't offer you any new clues. Turn to your right again and move back onto the railway. Follow the railway back up to the top and then continue forward walking back down the stone ladder. At the bottom of the stone ladder turn to your left and continue forward. As you are continuing forward, you will see a light embedded inside a pillar. At this point, turn to your right and you will see an elevator. Go up the elevator by pulling on the handle. When you reach the top, you see a silver trough with two big wheels underneath it on a small track. Looking down you can see a strap that is attached to a wooden beam running underneath the trough. From this you can see that something is intended to be placed on the strap. Continuing to look around you can zoom in on an orange ball to your left. This mechanical contraption will be your third puzzle you have to solve. Turn back around and walk to the elevator. Next, turn slightly to your right and grab the pages sitting on the rock. In these pages you get information about plants but that does not help us here. Go back down the elevator and turn to your right. Continue forward walking through the stone cavern and at the V in the walkway, turn right once again. You will now see a wooden bridge out across the water. Follow it until you see the last platform sitting there in front of you.

Fig10

Continue moving forward walking across the platform and along the path until you come to the doors of a little shack. Go on in and you will see little pieces of wood and crystal sitting on benches along the wall. These pieces and the sphere match the ones drawn in the pages. Now, using only the wooden pieces place them onto the top half of the sphere as shown in figure 10.

The pieces you want to use are the two light colored wooden ones and the dark piece of wood closest to the crystal pieces. When you place the pieces onto the sphere, they should already be oriented in the direction you need them.

The two light wood pieces on the top and left side and the dark piece of wood on the right side. Now walk back out of the shack and continue forward to the platform. Climb up onto the platform and pull the big lever on the left. The platform rises into the air and you are facing the silver trough, wheel, and track. There are 3 levers in the middle of the control panel. Click the topmost one of three and the wheel will roll all the way to the left of the track and trough. Next, pull the small lever on the right side of the control panel and the top half of the central building will rise up into the air and again release another crystal ball. The ball will come across your sight and roll across the silver trough continuing on around the railway.

The control panel doors will come together and you will see another movie of the weighted anchors pulling the bridge out of the water, but it still falls back down. The control panel doors close and you get your third code . Pull the lever to lower yourself back down and walk back across the wooden bridge into the stone cavern. Once inside, turn to your right and climb back up the stairs and go back to the first red, hexagon tower that you started this age from. Back at the first tower turn to your left and enter in the 3 codes you received into each of the 3 boxes with the small hexagon buttons in them. Only enter one code per box. After you enter each one and back away, two panels will close the gap between yourself and the next one so you can continue walking up towards the red circle on the roof that you saw when you first entered the world. Once you have entered the codes, you are able to continue forward up the railway to the red circle, which you now see is a door into the building. Click on the door and it will open up revealing the inside of the building.

Continue forward into the building and as soon as you walk in a set of stairs will swing toward you and then magically open up. Go ahead and walk up the stairs and click on the purple chair. It will spin around and then you will see yourself sitting down. Directly in front of you is a button on a U-shaped rod. Press the button and look up and you will see Saavedro speaking to you. After he completes his speech, look straight up above you and pull the handle overhead. As soon as you do this, you begin to rise up to the top of the building and then you notice that you are now inside the mysterious hovering top half of the central building. This is the same top half of the roof you kept seeing before on the puzzles, hover in midair and release the crystal balls. As you hover in midair, and get an awesome view of the entire island, a control panel begins to open up in front of you. This is the last puzzle you have to solve for this age. Click on the control panel and it will zoom you in. Change the 9 circles on the panel to look exactly like figure 12. Once you have them set look up and click on the blue button. All of a sudden you become encased into a crystal ball and are dropped down onto the railway. You now get to take a ride along all of the railways through the puzzles you solved. Enjoy your ride on the Amateria Railroad. However, on this ride you do not collect $200, but another symbol. Walk forward and place your hand on the link..
