============================================================ Nomed the Demon of the Mausoleum presents the KING'S QUEST IV HINT BOOK ============================================================ I, Nomed, have'nt typed the introduction and the general questions, because they are the same of the King's Quest III Hint Book (look the Mad Player 5 v1.0). For some question, I have passed the first answers. And I have not check the spelling of this doc. :est TamirFI#M Characters your may encounter here : 1. Pan Pan is a satyr, who is half-man and half-goat. Occasionally you will observe him dancing around while playing his flute. It's obvious that Pan loves music; but he isn't necessarily attached to his flute. He's open to new options. 2. Cupid I'm sure you're all aware of who Cupid is. Cupid carries an object that is of interest to you. Wait until he's preoccupied, then take the object. (It will be used for avery good cause.) 3. The Fisherman and his Wife You will meet a poor couple who eke out a meager living from the sea. It wouldn't hurt to help them out ... a gift, perhaps. Being basically good people, in return, they will help you out. 4. Wandering Minstrel A wandering minstrel is a musician who travels from place to place and plays music for people. In this case, we have a minstrel who plays the lute. You'll notice that he is not a good musician, though. Perhaps he'd like to take up a new line of work? 5. A Green Frog You'll notice a lovely pond filled with lily pads. Atop one of the lily pads is a large frog. The frog has something you want ... but you have to catch him first! If you find a gold ball you can use that to help you catch the frog. 6. The Unicorn You'll occasionally see a beautiful unicorn in the meadow. As might be expected, this unicorn is afraid of strangers and will run at your approach. Eventually you will have to catch the unicorn; but you've got to keep him from running away first! How can I get Pan to stop dancing? He won't listen to me! There's only one thing that will stop Pan from listening to his music ... and that's listening to your music. You need to find a way to play music around Pan. How about a lute? He might like lute music! If you can get the lute from the minstrel, play it around Pan. He'll stop and listen to your music. You might even give him the lute. What do I do with Cupid? He keeps flying away!8;#? You don't necesarily want to do anything with Cupid. You only care about his bow and arrows. If cupid flies away with his bow and arrows, that's bad. But if he flies away without them, that's good. The question is : How do you keep him from taking his bow and arrows? You don't care about Cupid, you only want his bow and arrows. When Cupid jumps into the water, go toward him. As you near Cupid, you will startle him so badly that he will jump out of the water and forget his bow and arrows. Now you can get them. I want the fisherman's fishing pole, but he won't give it to me!# # You can't just take the fishing pole; it's not yours! If you want it, you have to buy it or trade for it. The fisherman is very poor. Don't you have anything of value that you could give in trade for the fishing pole? Since his fishing pole is the fisherman's sole means of survival, it is precious to him. The only thing that would cause him to give up his fishing pole is to give him the pouch of diamonds in trade. Will the fisherman's wife do anything for me ?#### Not really. She's kind of a grouch. You can give the diamond pouch to either her or her husband, but that's about all. Can I catch the sea gull on the pier?eh#l What do you think you would do with it if you could? The answer is NO. The sea gull is there for effect only. All the minstrel does is play these bad songs for me! Can I take his lute?OR#V No, you can't take his lute. But you might be able to give him something else in return for it. The minstrel is not very good at being a minstrel. May be he needs to take up a new line of work. How about being an actor? Since the minstrel is not a very good musician, he might be more interested in taking up acting. Giver him the Shakespeare book in trade for his lute. What do I do with the magic flowers I found in the meadow?=@#D Are these like the poppies in the Wizard of OZ? Well, I gotcha again, didn't I? Yes. That's right. This is another fake question. If you had been playing the game right, you would have know this was a fake question. Now, get back to the game! I know I'm supposed to catch the frog ... but how?#### The frog is attacted to bright, round, gold things. Do you remember the story of the Frog Prince...? If you don't remember the story of the Frog Prince, then what you need to do is to find the gold ball (which is under the bridge), and "drop" it into the frog pond. You will then be able to catch the frog. Okay, now that I have the frog ... what do I do with him?AD#H What do most princesses do when they have caught a frog?! Kiss him! Give him a big, old smackeroo right on his green frog lips! Once you kiss the frog, he will turn into a handsome prince who will then give you his little gold crown. Where does Genesta live? I can't find her.#### Genesta lives on an island in the ocean. If you swim in the ocean a couple of screens, you will run into Genesta's island. Be careful of the sharks, though. It would be wise to save your game before venturing into the ocean. #&#* Is there something special with the little stone bridge?mp#t Yes, there is something special with it. Look at it very closely. Do you see the little yellow dot under the bridge...? The little yellow dot under the bridge is a golden ball. Take Rosella near that spot, and then type in "Look under the bridge." Rosella will bend down and retrieve it. The unicorn keeps running away from me! How do I catch it?#### You're noy going to catch it until you stop it from running away from you. So the real question is : How do you stop it from running away from you? Elementary, my dear Watson. Do you have Cupid's bow and arrows...? Shoot the unicorn with Cupid's arrow. Since these are good arrows and not bad arrows, they will cause the unicorn to like and trust you. Now the unicorn will stand there patienty. All right! I give up! The unicorn is no longer afraid of me... but it won't follow me. Is there a bridle somewhere?GJ#N Once you get swallowed by the whale, you need to climb its tongue and then "tickle" its throat with the peacock feather. The whale will sneeze you out into the ocean again. You will then see a small desert island. Swim to the small island. The bridle is inside the wrecked rowboat. Feed the fish to the pelican to be able to leave the island and get back to the mainland of Tamir. What do I do with the fishing pole ? I can't find a good spot to fish!-0#4 Try fishing at the end of the pier. That's the only place that you can catch any fish. I tried to fish with the fishing pole, but I need bait. Where is it?kn#r You need to get worm. If you walk toward the bird and the worm, the bird will fly away leaving the worm. You'd better hurry, though, as the worm won't stay there very long. I think the frog prince is cute! Can I keep him?kn#r No! And you wouldn't want to! I hear that he's a pretty obnoxious guy! sast Tamir### Characters you may encounter here :69#= 1. The Ogre and Ogress These are nasty characters. Avoid them at all costs. They will do nothing to help you. And "beware of the dog" when you enter their house! 2. The Seven Dwarfs The Seven Dwarfs won't help you until you do something nice for them, first. Until you do that, they could be very grouchy fellows. 3. The Robin and the Worm You will encounter a robin pulling on a worm. You want that worm. 4. Lolotte's Goons These are disagreable creatures, to say the least. They do the dirty work for Lolotte, the bad fairy. However, to solve the game you need to see Lolotte, so you can't really avoid them (at least until the end of the game). 5. The Three, One-eyed Witches These three ladies inhabit a dreary skull cave which is guarded by the trees of the scary forest. The witches have something you need, but it's not what you think it is. And don't give in too easily to them. 6. The Zombies You'd better avoid the zombies. If you're not careful, you could end up like them! 7. The Mummy The mummy won't harm you. He won't help you either. Basically, he's just there for effect. 8. The Scary Forest You will encounter human-like trees in the scary forest. If you go too close to one, it'll grad you with its long limbs and squeeze the living daylights out of you. I want to enter the ogre's house, but it's locked!ux#| The ogre's house will not be unlocked until Lolotte asks you for the magic hen. Lolotte will not ask for the magic hen until you have taken the unicorn to her. Now that I'm able to enter the ogre's house, a big ferocious dog chases me out again! What do I do with him?!%(#, You'll find a bone to give to the dog behind the waterfall. Getting behind the waterfall is another question. I know the magic hen is supposed to be in the ogre's house, but I can't find her!#### Hide in the closed when you know the ogre is coming home. You'll notice there is a keyhole; look through it. You'll see cartoon sequence showing the hen being brought to the ogre. When the cartoon sequence is finished, you can leave the closed and get the hen. Be quick qbout it, though. How can I get through the scary forest without being caught by the awful trees?### There is an axe in the ogre's bedroom that you can get. When you are in the scary forest "Swing the axe". Your axe will scare the trees so much they will leave you alone. I keep getting killed by the three witches in the skull cave!%(#, There are two ways that you can get caught by the witches. One, is when you're trying to get glass eye, and , two, is when you're trying to avoid the one witch who continually chases you. Most impotantly, SAVE YOUR GAME when you first enter this cave! Then to get the eye, maneuver the chassing witch to the front of the cauldron before attempting to go after it. You want the chassing witch as far away from you and the other witches as possible. Now, go toward the order witches. Go right up to where they are passing the eye back and forth and very quickly type in "Get the eye". Once you have the glass eye, the witches can no longer harm you. Now that I got the glass eye from the blind witches, what do I do with it? Should I give it back to them?:=#A Don't give the witches back their glass eye right away. They will give you something in return for their eye if you scare them a little, first. They are completely helpless without it, but they are also nasty and selfish. If they feel that you would really walk off with their eye, they will give in to you. Wlak out of the cave with the eye. The next time you enter the cave the witches will throw something to you, and will then beg for the return of their eye. You can get this object. As to whether you ever give the eye back to the witches, that's up to you. I found a big red balloon! If I blow it up, will it take me over the mountains?58#< No more cheating! I love the epitaphs on the tombstones in the cemetery!... but do they mean anything!>A#E After nightfall, you will encounter five ghosts in the haunted house. Each of these ghosts wants something that is buried in the cemetery. The epitaphs which is their particular grave. I dug some holes in the cemetery and then my shovel broke! Now what do I do?!gj#n There are five ghosts that you will meet in the haunted house, and there are only five holes that you can dig in the cemetery. Just be sure that you dig in the right place for the right reasons before you start indiscriminately digging holes. How do I go inside the crypt?###! There is a key that you can get which is inside the haunted house. This key will unlock the crypt door. You can't get the key, though, until after nighfall, after you have dealt with the witches, and after exorcising all five ghosts. (It's in the organ.) I don't know what to do in the Seven Dwarf's house. I don't see anything here!### Have you noticed that the house is messy? Perhaps it need to be cleaned. What do nice princesses do in messy dwarfs' houses? Clean them, of course!?B#F After "cleaning" the Seven Dwarf's house, you'll see that the little men will come home for lunch. After they have finished eating, they will go back to work, again. One of the dwarfs will accidentally leave behind a pouch of diamonds on the table. Take it. Okay, I got pouch of diamonds. What do I with it?#### If the dwarfs just left the diamond pouch in the house, then it is not really yours. You need to return the forgotten diamond pouch to them. Take it to the diamond mine and give it back to one of the dwarfs. He will be touched by your kindness and honesty and will let you keep the diamond pouch plus give you something else (a lantern). Now you may give the diamonds to the fisherman in trade for his pole. The Sven Dwarfs keep throwing me out of their diamond mine!#### Enter their house; is it messy? Yes. Clean it for them. (Look at the prior question.) Lolotte's goons grab me from the mountain path. Should I try to avoid them?OR#V No! You do not want to avoid them. Not yet, anyway. Lolotte asks me to tasks for her. Should I do them, or would I be falling into a trap?PS#W If you don't do the tasks, you will never solve the game. I feel there's something special with the waterfall. Am I right?mp#t There is a cave behind the waterfall. You need to change into a frog before you can swim behind it. To change into a frog, you need the little gold crown from the frog at the pond. If you wear the crown, you will change into a frog. What do I do with the mummy? Is there something special about him or his coffin?IL#P The mummy is just there for effect. You don't do anything with him or his coffin. I want to enetr the haunted house at night, but each time I try a zombie gets me! Help!#### The witches have a scarab that will ward off the undead. Once you have that, the zombies will no longer bother you. :ut In the OceanLO#S Characters you may encounter here :#### 1. A Shark This is one guy you want to avoid at all costs! He does you no good at all! It's to always save your game before venturing into the ocean. 2. The Whale The whale will not show up until Lolotte has asked you to bring her the unicorn. Once she has done this, the whale will appear randomly. You want to get swallowed byt the whale, but not until you have the right itms. 3. The Peacock The peacock lives on Genesta's Island. ACtually, you can do nothing with the peacock, itself, but there is a related item on the island that you can find. 4. Genesta's Fairy Helpers The little fairies also live on Genesta's Island. They protect and care for their queen, Genesta. You can do nothing with them as they are just part of the story. 5. The Good Fairy, Genesta Genesta lives in a beautiful, ivory palace which is located on an exotic island off the mainland of Tamir. As she is sick and dying through most of the game, all you can do for her is to retrieve her stolen talisman from Lolotte. 6. A Dolphin You will find yourself on a desert island after you have escaped the whale. The dolphin will rescue you and take you back to Tamir after you have dealt with the pelican. 7. A Pelican The pelican lives on the desert island. As this is a hungry pelican, he would sure appreaciate some seafood. You will get a reward for your efforts, and this reward will summon the dolphin. Will the shark ever help me in any way?HK#O Absolutely not! Stay away from the shark! I got swallowed by a whale! Am I supposed to do this?!KN#R You are supposed to get swallowed by the whale, but make sure you have the peacock feather and the dead fish before you do. How do I get out of the whale?#### There are two, diagonal paths up the whale's tongue. Go to enter the extreme left or right of the tongue. From there, start climbing, but go upwards diagonally. Once you get to the top of the tongue "tickle" the whale's throat with the peacock feather. Can I do anything with the peacock?,/#3 No. The peacock is there only for show and for a hint that there may be a peacock feather that you can get. Is there anything special with the swan or the swan pond?tw#{ The swan and the swan pond add to the effect of Genesta's Island. Do I do anything with the "dolphin" statue on Genesta's Island?#### As with the swan and the swan pond, the statue adds to the effect of Genesta's Island. After escaping the whale I found myself on a desert island. How do I get back to Tamir?il#p If you're nice to the pelican, the pelican will be nice to you. That pelican sure looks hungry!kn#r I hope you have the dead fish. Throw it to the pelican. The pelican will then drop a silver whistle from its mouth. Use this whistle to summon a friendly dolphin. The dolphin will help you back to Tamir. I see a pelican on the desert island. Am I supposed to catch it, or something?(+#/ Feed the dead fish to the pelican. If you don't, you'll never get off this island! I think the unicorn's bridle is on the desert island. Am I right?_b#f Okay, if you insist. It's in the wrecked rowboat on the desert island. Go inside the rowboat and say "Look at the ground". You'll see the golden bridle there. What do I with the dolphin?A#E Read the epitaphs in the cemetery. A "Lord" is buried in one of the graves. If you have the shovel, you can dig there. You will find a medal of honor. Give it to tha ghost. The little boy ghost won't budge from the top of the chest! How do I get rid of him?!sv#z Read the epitaphs in the cemetery. A little boy is buried in one of the graves. If you have the shovel, you can dig there. You will find a toy horse. Give it to the boy ghost. What do I with the sheet music?eh#l Play the sheet music on the organ. WHen you do this, you will discover a secret drawer in the organ. There is a skeleton key in the drawer. I found a skeleton key! What does it unlock?!gj#n The skeleton key unlocks the crypt, which is located in the mountainside, in the cemetery. Troll Cave and Swamp#### Characters you may encounter here :8;#? 1. Troll This is not nice guy at all! He inhabits the cave which is behind the waterfall. Unfortunately, you must go through this cave to reach the magic fruit. You want to avoid him. 2. Cobra You will find the cobra on a small island in the swamp. The tree that grows the magic fruit is also on the island. The cobra protects the magic fruit. You need to "disable" the cobra to be able to get the fruit. It's DRAK in this cave! How can I see in here?!
