                        DE solution FER Kings Quest I remake

                                by Atomic Punk


    Same basics of all Sierra adventures:  Read, touch, eat, fuck, take,
 and look at anything you run accross for maximum points.  Hell, even eating
 the damn witch's house gives you 2 points.

    You's at the castle.  Go east, then north, then west. You'z in the garden.
pick a carrot, and go west to the other side of the garden (screen will
scroll). Go south (you should be on the left side of the castle) and then
west.  There's a forest there with a couple of rocks in the middle. Stand
behind the rocks and say "move da rock".  There's a hole there now.  Reach
in and grab the dagger.  Go west and swim west across a lake that covers
two screens. Out of the pond, head north to the well, then west where there's
a corral with a goat in it.

    Go in the corral.  Show the carrot to the goat, and the lil fucker'll
follow you anywhere.   Go outta the corral again, and go west two screens.
If you keep going back to the screen that looks like a meadow with a slight
slope on it, your fairy fucking god mother will eventually show up and
cast some useless spell on you (well, it's not useless if you're retarded
and don't know how to play the game, in which case it helps you get the
mirror, but...)  Go north to the clover patch.  Check out the four-leafer
and grab it.  The Leper-chauns won't fuck with you.  Head north again to
the wooden bridge.   Go across the bridge.

     Hah! Damn troll stopped ya, didn't he?  Helps to know all these stupid
fairy tales - Your goat'll kick his butt off of there just like in the old
fairy tale.  Bye bye, troll.  Your goat takes a hike.  Go north across
the bridge.

     There's an old fart-gnome sitting here, and he'll give you some magic
beans if you can guess what his name is.   Here they've changed it from
the original.  In the original, you had to use a reverse-alphabet cryptogram
to reverse Rumplestilskin and spell it backwards.   In this remake, just
spell it backwards - nikslitselpmur (and you thought Mzxypltk's name was
weird).

      Go east and go across the wooden bridge.  Go eat to the flower bed.
stick the beans in the ground and stand back to listen to your Adlib
rumble.  Fuck the beanstalk - Go east and swim the lake.  Get outta the
lake, and continue east. Get down and look in that little hole in the rocks
where there's a greenish glow.  Head south (I think) until you find this
beach where there's some pebbles at the bottom of the screen. Grab a few,
they're worth some points.  If you don't wanna waste time, don't bother.
(Note: This has changed from the original - the screens were in a different
order)

      Go back to the beanstalk and "CLIMB STALK".  Save your game about every
2 inches unless you like wasting a lot of time climbing.  When you get
to the top (three screens), head DIRECTLY east - Do not fuck around in
any other direction unless you like skydiving without a parachute.  When
you get to some trees, go south, then east twice.  There's a slingshot
in that hole.  I never used it, but hey.  Maybe it'll work on Schwarzenegger
the giant up there.

      Go north.  IGNORE THE CAVE. You want to go west toward the bottom part
of the screen. The giant's here.  Sit right on the south side of the tree
on the right side of the giant's screen.  He can't find you. Sit tight, and
he'll eventually fall asleep.  Grab the chest.

        Now you have two options. You can go to the cave and wind around these
rickety wooden stairs, or take the stalk.  I'd suggest the stalk, it's faster
and easier - but if you like excitement, go for the stairs.  Remember to
save your game, bright one.

 Go back to the well (hah, I'll make you work on this one). Stand on the
north side of the well and cut the rope.  You have the bucket now.  Lower
the rope and climb down it.  Jump off the end and swim.  type "DIVE" and
swim down.  Ignore the chest at the bottom, it's nothing. Also, don't
get tangled up in the weeds unless you have gills.  Swim to the west
and up the hole.  Fill the bucket. Get out.  Save Game.

 Head west. WHOA! A dragon.  Hah, go into the screen til he picks his head
up and looks at you.  Then nail him with the water in the bucket.  He'll
put his tail between his legs and take off.  Grab the mirror.  Bitchin,
two out of three treasures!   Go west 'til you're out of the cave.  If
the condor's there swooping around, just ignore him.

 Head south twice, and look in the stump for the pouch full of diamonds. Go
east and swim east across the lake twice.  Go east where to the dagger screen
and north to the tree.  If you look at the tree, it'll give you a Sierra
suttle hint "GEE, THE TREE SURE LOOKS LIKE IT COULD SUPPORT YOUR WEIGHT".
Climb the tree, go out on the branch, and grab the gold egg sittin' in the
nest.

  After you climb down, go north a couple of times until you see the walnut
tree with walnuts on the ground.  Forget the squirrel and grab a walnut.
When you open the walnut, you'll have a solid gold nut on the inside.  Here's
another deviation from the original.  In the original, you would just head
east (I think) to get the bowl.  No such luck.  I found the bowl two screens
north of the west side of the castle's garden.  Go for it, it's sitting
on the ground.  Run around for a while until you see an elf (maybe south
of the bowl) going ape-shit.  Talk to him.  He'll give you a ring that'll
make you invisible. So what, you don't need it unless you happen to get
it before you go up the beanstalk, but hiding from the giant is just as
easy.

     Go to the woodcutter's place. You can't miss it.  Run down shack sitting
in the woods with a big axe in a tree stump outside.  Go in.  He'll give you
a sob story.  Say "FILL" and give him the now-filled magical bowl.  He'll
go bonkers and give you his fiddle.

     Keep heading south from this dudes house until you get to the gingerbread
house (sound fairy tale-familiar?).  Save your game.  If she's inside, go
off the screen and come back - or try knocking.  If you knock, usually nobody's
home. Go in, go east to the bedroom, and save game.   When she comes home,
she'll know you're there, but she won't do anything.  *SNEAK* up behind her
and push her ass in the pot - the rest of her will follow.   She'll see
you about 50% of the time, so restore your game.  Get the cheese out of
the cabinet on the wall, then go for those extra 2 points by getting the
note off of her dresser in the bedroom.

     Go back to the cave where you came out from dealing with the dragon,
and twiddle your thumbs until the condor comes by.  (You won't miss him).
When he does, keep jumping (F6) until he grabs you.  He'll carry you off
and dump you in the island in the moat.  There's a hole here. Don't go
in it unless you like getting stuck.  Go west, and pick the 'shroom. Now,
go back and fall in the hole.  Go south, then west til you meet the rat.
Hi, rat.  Get fairly close to him and give him the cheese, and he'll
piss off.

     Go through the door.  On the other side, a few leprechaun's attack
you.  Woops, you've got a four leaf clover - think again leprechauns.
Go south.   In the original, the King would sit there while you played
the fiddle for him. In this, they fuckin' disappear when you walk in,
so who knows.  The king takes his sceptre with him (in the original he
left it after you played the fiddle).  The game tells you this, so
there must be some way of getting it.  Maybe not having the clover.

     Grab the shield.  You've got the three.  Go west up the stairs,
and keep going til you see the tiny hole.  That's the hole you looked
in before and saw the faint "Greenish glow".  Eat the 'shroom and you'll
shrink so you can leave the hole.   Head for the mountains, head for
busch beer...woops, no head for the castle. Go in, and you're done.  You
give the King the stuff, he croaks, and you win the game with about 150
of 158 points.
