                        KING'S QUEST 2 SOLUTION

Typed by ???  Edited by PARASITE.


PART ONE
 King's Quest II begins where King's Quest I left off. You've ascended to
 the throne and now find yourself, King Graham, lonely and hankering after
 a wife and an heir to the throne. Looking in your magic mirror
 (recovered from the previous game) you find yourself looking upon the
 lovliest face you've ever seen! When you ask the mirror whom she may be,
 it only answers that she's been imprisoned by the evil witch, Hagatha,
 in an enchanted crystal tower and it is up to you to rescue her. Thus
 begins your quest...locate as much treasure as you can, and find the
 keys which will unlock the doors to your future bride. A word of caution
 about the "nasties" in this game (to be avoided at all costs!): They are
 Hagatha the witch, an evil enchanter, a wolf in granny's clothing and a
 fast little dwarf who likes to grab treasure. When you see any of these
 characters, beat feet! 'Nuff said! You begin on a beach in the kingdom
 of Kolyma. Begin your quest by going east twice to Grandma's House. Open
 the mailbox and get the basket of goodies. Go east then north to the door
 in the tree. Open the door and climb down the ladder. At the bottom of the
 ladder, go east. Be prepared to leave if the dwarf's home. If he does catch
 you, though, all he does (if you're not carrying any treasure) is deposit
 you back outside the door in the tree. When you can do so, get the cauldron
 of soup and open the chest. When you look in the chest you see a pair of
 beautiful Sapphire and Diamond Earrings! Get the earrings and leave by
 going west, up the ladder, then west out the door. Head back south to the
 screen that's just east of Granny's and wait for (you guessed it!)
 Little Red Riding Hood! She's quite distraught because she's misplaced the
 basket of goodies she was going to give to her grandma. Hand her the basket
 and she gives you a bouquet of pretty flowers. That done, head back west
 to Grandma's House and open the door. If the wolf's in bed
 (instead of granny), leave immediately! If the coast is clear, walk up
 to Grandma and give her the soup. Since she's ailing, the chicken soup
 is a welcomed present. She thanks you and tells you to look under her bed.
 When you do you see a black cloak and a Ruby Ring, which you take into
 your possession. Wear the cloak and the ring, bid Grandma farewell and
 leave the house. Now head east three times and open the door to the
 Monastery. Go up to the altar and pray. The monk notices your piety and
 after finishing his prayers, he stands up and asks your name. Tell him
 "Graham" and he gives you a Silver Cross on a chain, then goes back to his
 prayers. Wear the cross and leave the Monastery. Go south and stand in
 front of the rock by the tree. Look in the hole and you see a small
 Sapphire and Diamond Brooch! Take the brooch then go south across the
 lake, pass by the Antique Shop
 (it's closed anyway...right now!) and continue south twice more to the
 bridge. Be careful when you enter the Chasm area. Depending on where you
 are on the screen, you may find yourself falling to a short version of
 the game! I suggest you stop your character whenever you enter a new screen
 before venturing on. Cross the bridge and go north to the magic door. Read
 the inscription and then go south and west back across the bridge. You get
 one point every time you cross the bridge, but only do it when you're
 instructedt o since the bridge has a limited lifetime! Once on the firm
 ground again, go west and then north to the tree with the hole in in. Look
 in the hole and get the mallet then go west twice and look in the right-hand
 hollow log (the other three hollow logs are empty). Tucked inside the log
 is an expensive Sapphire and Diamond Necklace! Get the necklace, go north
 twice then west to the tree and get the stake that's laying there. Now go
 west to the beach.

PART TWO
  A brief word about the beach area...I've NEVER run into any of the
 badguys here. So if you meet up with Hagatha on the screens that are
 just east of the beach, go west and you'll be safe. Get the shell you
 see here. When you pick up the shell, you see a Sapphire and Diamond Bracelet
 hidden under it! Get the bracelet, go south twice and get the trident.
 Enter the water and swim north threetimes. When you get to the lagoon with
 three rocks, you see a mermaid sunning herself on one of the rocks! Swim
 to her and give her the bouquet of flowers. She's so enchanted with your
 gift that she summons a Magic Seahorse for your transportation! Ride the
 seahorse. You won't have to guide it, though, until you get to King Neptune.
 When you've reached your destination, guide the seahorse up to Neptune
 and give him the trident. He's so pleased to have his beloved trident
 back that he gives you a bottle and opens a giant clamshell near him. When
 the shell is opened, you see a golden key inside. Take the key and guide
 the seahorse back toward the east. It knows the rest of the way, and takes
 you back to the rock you found the mermaid on. Swim back to shore, go north
 three times then east twice into the cave. If Hagatha's there, don't
 worry...she's blind as a post unless you make noise! Go over to the
 birdcage, remove the cloth from the bottle that Neptune gave you and cover
 the cage with the cloth. Doing so will keep the nightingale quite and keep
 Hagatha concerned only with her brew. Take the cage and leave the cave.
 Once outside the cave, head east until you get to the bridge over the chasm.
 Cross the bridge and go north to the magic door. Remember the inscription?
 Well, you've made that "big splash" and can unlock the door. As you do so,
 the key disappears and...another door with another inscription appears!
 Read the second inscription, go south and west back across the bridge.
 Now go south three times to the Antique Shop. Open the door (shop's open
 for business now!) and you find a lady in a rocking chair. Talk to the lady
 and she tells you she has a lamp you might be interested in. Buy the lamp
 and she says that the price may bed ear, but she'd give anything if she had
 her precious bird back from that evil old Hag. Give her the bird and she
 gives you the lamp in gratitude! But since she has her pet back, she's
 anxious to close up shop and escorts you out the door. Once outside the
 door, polish the lamp and (yup!) a genie appears and lays a Magic Carpet
 at your feet! Fly the carpet and you find yourself floating high in the
 air going to the mountain top! As with the seahorse, the carpet knows
 the way and deposits you gently on the mountain. Go east and you find
 your path blocked by a snake coiled and ready to strike! But don't
 panic! Rub the lamp and the genie appears once more and gives you a sword
 with a snake engraved on the handle. Hmmm, this seems too simple.
 It's simple to just kill the snake and be done with it. Rub the lamp
 again and this time the genie (who's tired of your polishing by now) gives
 you a bridle. A bridle? How are you supposed to vanquish the snake with
 a bridle? Oh well...When the genie (and the lamp) finally disappear, put
 the bridle on the snake. What's this? A beautiful white winged horse
 appears before you! This is magic! Could this horse talk also? Let's
 findout...talk to the horse and I'll be darned, it CAN speak! It tells you
 it was turned into a snake because it refused to become the property
 of an evil enchanter! But since you've shown it mercy and returned it to
 its true form, the horse gives you a Magic Sugar Cube that will protect
 you from poisonous brambles. After he flies away, go east twice into the
 cave. On one ofthe boulders lies another Golden Key! Get the key, head west
 three to the cliff edge and fly the carpet back to the Antique Shop.
 Go north three times and cross the bridge. Go north to the magic door
 and unlock the second door. As before, when the door opens, the key
 disappears and a third door (and yet another inscription) appear!
 Read the third inscription, go south, west across the bridge, then west
 twice and north twice to the figure in the boat.

PART THREE
  This is getting scary! This guy looks like the ferryman from the RiverStyx!
 He also looks like he's been waiting for you! Or...someone who looks like
 you! Because you're wearing the cloak and ring, the ferryman allows you to
 enter his boat and takes you across the poison lake to the ruins of a
 suspicious looking castle. This castle is surrounded by poisonous brambles,
 but you have the MagicSugar Cube to protect you! Eat the sugar and approach
 the castle door. When you get to the door, you find the way blocked by two
 spooky looking ghosts! But upon seeing your attire (and jewelry), they
 assume you're someone else and disappear leaving your path unbarred. Open
 the castle door and... (gulp!) Eerie music and flickering torchlight greet
 (greet?) you. You've just entered Count Dracula's Castle so keep your silver
 cross,stake and mallet handy! Go west and climb the stairs (carefully!) to
 the Bedroom. Go to the dresser and open the drawer. Inside you find a
 candle. Take the candle and go back downstairs. On the way down, light the
 candle with the torch on the wall, continue down the stairs and go east
 twice into the Dining Room. On the dining room table sits a large, juicy
 ham. Take the ham and go east down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs
 you see a little rat scurrying about. He's just there for "atmosphere"
 (evil chuckle) and won't hurt you. Save the game at this point. Go west
 into the Coffin Chamber. Now's the tricky part. If the coffin is open, take
 the pillow and get the key hidden under it. If, however, the coffin is
 closed, that means "the Count is in". When you open the coffin, *immediately*
 kill Dracula with the mallet and stake. After his body is turned to dust,
 another key will be left behind. Take that key also. Go back upstairs to the
 dining room. If Dracula wasn't in his coffin before, you'll meet him
 upstairs now. When he sees you, he'll try to bite you; but because you're
 wearing the cross (you *are* wearing it,aren't you?) he'll be driven off
 and turn into a bat. When this happens, go back downstairs and go back to
 the Coffin Chamber. This time (if it wasn't before) the lid will be closed
 and Dracula will be asleep in it. In order to get maximum points, you MUST
 kill Dracula. By saving the game, the chance of his being in his coffin can
 be changed by restoring the game if you miss him the first time. Once
 you've killed Dracula and have both keys, go north through the archway in
 the dining room and save your game again. This set of stairs is the
 absolute nastiest stairway I've ever encountered! The graphics get a bit
 sloppy here and your feet appear to be walking on air, so it's hard to
 judge your footing. Climb the stairs to the room at the top and unlock and
 open the chest. When you look in the chest you see a costly Sapphire and
 Diamond Tiara! Get the tiara and save your game before you navigate those
 stairs again! Go down the stairs, go south, west and south to exit the
 castle. Once outside the castle, go back through the brambles and get back
 into the boat. The ferryman will take you back across the poison lake and
 deposit you onshore automatically. Once there, go south twice then east
 twice. Cross the bridge (for the last time...its lifespan has been sapped)
 and go north to the magic door. This time when you unlock the magic door,
 you find yourself deposited in a strange land indeed! Blue sand,
 rainbow-colored water and pink skymeet your bewildered eyes! You seem to be
 trapped with no way across the water. Go north and get the net.
 (If you're playing this in color, you may have to bump around for
 the net...I had a hard time finding it.) Goback south twice and go fishing.
 When you haul your net back, a large golden fish flops out of the net and
 lays gasping for air on shore! Take pity on the fish by throwing it back
 into the water. When you do, the fish returns to you, thanks you for your
 kindness and offers to give you a ride across the water! Ride the fish.
 When you reach your destination, the fish hurls you to shore where you're
 momentarily dazed, but unharmed! Looking around you see some of the
 strangest plantlife imaginable! No time to do abotanist's report, though,
 you have a date to keep! Go north twice then east and get the amulet. Look
 at the amulet and you see it has the word "HOME" engraved on its reverse
 side. Go south, open the door and enter the tower. Again, save your game
 because these stairs are a bit odd, too. Climb the stairs and you find your
 progress blocked by a roaring lion! Give the ham to the lion...and the poor
 thing, satiated, falls into a peaceful sleep. Open the door. Your quest is
 at an end because here'sthe love of your life! The Princess Valanise! She
 comes towards you,lovely beyond words! Kiss her and music swells to your
 head as you fall even more under her spell. She then asks your name, and
 after you respond, the problem of how to leave this enchanted place becomes
 your utmost worry! Ah...the Amulet! Say "Home" and you find yourself
 blacking out! What devilry is this? But, despair not, for when you awaken,
 you find yourself in the Monastery, standing at the altar next to the monk.
 In the pews sit all your past foes, pests and friends. Then, down the
 aisle comes your bride! After the monk pronounces you husband and wife,
 you find yourself returned to your castle in Davantry to reign long and
 happily with your true love!

End.
