Easter Eggs
There was a book press on Crater Island where Gehn makes his books by the ladder up to his house which was locked at the start It was removed during the games development but still can be found Face the boiler controls and click in the upper left hand corner on the pump You should now see an angled picture of the nice view to the left of the boiler Look down towards the left side and you will see the upper part of the book press Another way to see it is to walk a bit back on the catwalk and turn towards the boiler room It is difficult to find but it is there If you look up you will also be able to see it just even more blurred

Little boy answers door
On Jungle Island after visiting the school park your mini sub at the closest opening towards the lower entrance of the city you should of already seen the parent come grab the kid as you were walking in if you entered that way get out of the sub and take the path leading up the ladder towards all the living huts At the top of the ladder you will be in front of the only hut that has a ramp leading to the door If you notice on the door knocker is the 5 which is what you just learned from the fish game Knock 5 times consistantly and a little boy will open up a tile on the door and look at you then shut it again Dont blink or youll miss it it kinda freaked me out
When you go to open the fish head for the first time the button on the right lamp when youre facing the fish walk all the way into it turn around like youve changed your mind and walk back out Dont touch any controls keep on the trail and as soon as you turn right theres a little girl who turns to run and trips over herself she gets back up and runs away Now I dont know if you can touch any controls or take the back way to the island through the mouth All I know is that I had left the island already and came back I was stuck and found the entrance button by mistake and decided not to go that way just yet and ended up finding the little girl spying on me
Various Cheats and Hints
Gehns face
After you break the lens at the end of the game look closely at Atrus For a brief moment a face will appear This also happens at the start of Riven when Atrus holds up the Linking book to Riven This was intentional so that it felt like Gehn was watching you from the very beginning
Hidden faces
At the start of the game leave Temple Island and then return Go to where you started Next go to the bottom of the staircase and look down to the right Two faces are in the topleft To find the other three rotate the Gate Room rotating room until you can enter from the passage under the gate Go under the gate and immediately after you do that on the right side of the screen you will see three faces You will only see them if you can enter the room from the place you are in
For more hidden faces step outside the cage where you start the game Turn left and look up One face is just to the left of lower center hidden in the rocks The other is in the lower right corner
More hidden faces can be seen on Temple Island after going under the chained wood gate The passage to Gateway room at other end must be open Look along the right side of the screen The three childrens faces are Rand Millers daughters
Human
Go to the 233rd Age Gehns house after trapping Gehn there Go down the ladder to Gehns bedroom Go up to a sort of round cage thing the quotholoprojectorquot and look in the rocks in front of you through the window There should be a human there
Jungle secrets
When you change to Disc 3 you should be at a point where all the trees are cut down Find the path that leads to the gate Open it and start to walk As soon as you go under the first tree look to your left You should see a giant dagger sticking up out of the ground Walk down and you will find another rolling ball thing Remember to note what the symbol is and what sound it makes Return to the path and start walking forwards again When you reach the two pathways go right As you walk down you should see a giant fish head Approach and inspect the head and you will find nothing However back on the pathway you should see two lamps Go until all you can see is the top part On the very top there is a small disc Push it and see what happens
Name written in rock
Go to the workshop island Disc 1 After solving the boiler puzzle go to the small balcony that has the frog trap Climb down the ladder At the bottom face the ladder so that you are one screen away from being directly at the ladder In the upper left corner is the word quotAlexquot written in the rock
Photo on cliff
In Riven after you have advanced to a decent point in the game go to the chamber where you first appeared in the game In that area go to the edge of the cliff facing the holograph room and the first transport Look down the cliff and you will see rocks and the water In the upperleft side of the screen in the cliff is a photograph of two quotMYSTeriousquot children Those are Robyn Millers children
