Look to the left to spot a gold colored button amongst the plants. Pull the lever on the left to open the gate then enter into the next area. Cross over to the door and click on it to open the door and enter the first chamber. The blowing wind creates some creepy sounds as you make your way to the surface of the lake.Ī long straight catwalk leads across the water towards the greenhouse situated at the base of the Observatory. Steep stairs lead down the cliff to a curved catwalk that spirals down through the rocks. Climb down these rungs and turn right Follow the path past the Yellow Pole then another reflection pole with the top broken off and you will arrive at a large rock with a railing to your right. As you head to the curved catwalk leading back to the Red Pole you will notice rungs leading down the nearby rock to the beach below. Return back across the catwalk and climb down the ladder. It looks like we need to find an alternate entrance into this building. The crazed man (who you will later learn is called Saavedro, so we may as well start calling him by his name) is pacing inside the Observatory. You can cross the bridge and try to get in but the door is locked. Climb the ladder and see the man enter the door leading into the top of the Observatory.

Follow him across the walkway and turn right to face a cliff with a ladder leading up. On future visits to the island simply refer to the section you are playing at the time.Īfter your fly-by around the island you land near a Red Pole just as that crazy man from the study runs across a catwalk. The other three sections give instructions for getting into each of the tusk towers and accessing the linking books. The first deals with your first visit to J'nanin and getting inside the Observatory. This chapter is divided into four sections. Since J'nanin is essentially a hub to all the other Ages you will explore in this game you will most likely be returning to this page in the future. You are free to explore the island and solve the puzzles to unlock these towers in any order you choose. Each of these towers contains a linking book that leads to another Age. There are three large towers in the shape of giant tusks. J'nanin is a ring of cliffs formed from an extinct volcano that surrounds a beautiful lake.
