Let's Play Myst III: Exile - Extra Special Commentary Edition - Part 12

Here's the master list of names for all the various things in Edanna that have names, most of which I did not mention during my original video series:

Top level of the tree - Deadwood Ridge
Lens Blossom
Spiral staircase - Corkscrew Cattail
Tube vine with water-filled pods - Quaffler Fig
Giant bird - Redbreasted Grossamery
Sunflower - Aurora Blossom
Fan Palm
Stingray - Electra Ray
Leaf bridge - Tongue Fern*
Squee
Squee's expanding fruit - Barnacle Moss
Swing Vine
Bird trap - Venus Flytrap
Mirror - Lambent Orchid
Goofy elevator - Jumping Dragon
Water lily - Nemel Lotus**
Stinky Mushrooms - Vesuvi Mushrooms

*The lamp next to the Tongue Fern does not have its own formal name; it's simply referred to as the Tongue Fern's "symbiotic spore".
**The insects that swarm the Nemel Lotus are not identified as any particular species.

The motivation working through this age is extremely vague, but there's sort of a logic if you play it last: in all three lesson ages, the symbol on the book is connected to whatever helps you escape that age. If you play Amateria, and recognize that the symbol on the doors matches that of the book, then play Voltaic and recognize the shape of the airship, then you can (maybe) reason that the symbol of the bird on the tusk means that the Grossamery is the key to escaping Edanna. Maybe.

When you are gonna do Riven once your lifetime, it will be like a scenic guide for japanese trough Riven.

@LeonardMeltsner True I forgot about the corkscrew thing and it's ability with using osmotic pressure to cause water to help unfurl itself.

@PoeshockGaming And even here, the leaf can work, because there is another plant that can "wilt" in a matter of seconds using the tonicity of a sac under the meeting of the stem with the branch. This leaf could use the same thing to open and close.

@LeonardMeltsner I was going to comment about the same thing. It is very odd that who ever named these things would call it a Venus Flytrap. As a side note, the leaf that is above a real pitcher plant is there to keep rain water from diluting the glucose that is inside the pitcher petal and does not move on its own.

i love your videos, are you planning on doing the rest of the series, or will you be stopping here?

I used to play Myst III: Exile like you...

But then I took an arrow in the knee.

[MyGonorrheaOnU]

Wait, so you're not doing these in order? Or are you only doing a few of them?

I hope you find the time to make more videos. You're absolutely my favorite LPer to watch and listen to. The time and effort you put into your videos shows, and it is awesome. Furthermore, you're a smart, clever guy, and I don't get frustrated as shit watching you solve puzzles while narrating the logic behind them.

I don't think the carnivorous plant could possibly be called a Venus Flytrap, as that's a real plant bearing no resemblance to the one in the game. The Pitcher Plant, on the other hand, is another carnivorous plant very similar to the Edannan plant.
