Copyright Information VERSION HISTORY 1.1: 18th Aug, 2006 (Format update) 1.0: 4th Apr, 2003 (First version) =============================================================================== 1. Introduction =============================================================================== In the land of Llewdor, an evil magician once kidnapped a boy from a nearby kingdom to raise as his slave. The first boy explored away from the house despite Manannan's strict orders. When the wizard returned one day to find the boy practicing magic spells, he became so infuriated that he turned the boy into a pile of ashes. From then on Manannan kept stealing boys, but he kept on killing them before or on their eighteenth birthday in case they also decided to try and learn magic spells that could potentially defeat the wizard. Gwydion is the latest boy to have been kidnapped, and his eighteenth birthday is drawing near. Manannan is carefully watching over him, so Gwydion must find a way to defeat the evil magician and escape from Llewdor. =============================================================================== 2. Walkthrough =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.1. Finding the Magic Items ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The game starts inside the evil wizard Manannan's house. The wizard will appear frequently in this first part of the game to give Gwydion different tasks. If a task isn't completed within three minutes, he will cast a spell on Gwydion that transforms him into a snail for one minute. To avoid this punishment, carry out each instruction that the wizard gives as quickly as possible. From the entry hall of the house, here are the five chores that the wizard can give. The fifth chore only appears after Manannan has returned from his journey. 1. Clean kitchen: Walk east to the dining room and then north to the kitchen. Get the broom at the top-left corner of the room to sweep the kitchen. 2. Dust office: Walk north to the office. Approach the front of the cabinet at the bottom-left corner of the room and get the duster to clean the office. 3. Empty chamber pot: Walk up the steps and then north into Manannan's bedroom. Walk to the bottom-left corner of the bed and empty the chamber pot. 4. Feed chickens: Walk south to exit the house. Walk behind the fence at the left side of the chicken hut and feed the chickens. 5. Feed Manannan: Walk east to the dining room. As this task only appears after Manannan has returned from his journey, you should already have the bread, fruit and mutton from the kitchen. Give one of the items to Manannan. After completing one of the tasks, return to the entry hall. Walk east to the dining room and get the cup on the table. Walk north to the kitchen and get the bread, mutton and fruit on the table, the knife and spoon on the rack at the left side of the fireplace, and the clay bowl on the shelf at the top-left corner of the room. Walk south and west to the entry hall, then up twice to the tower at the top of the house. On the numpad, use 7 to walk north-west and 9 to walk north-east up the steps, as it is quicker than using the arrow keys. Get the fly on the floor near the telescope. Nothing can be seen by looking in the telescope, and only a message appears suggesting that this is how Manannan can see everything in Llewdor. Walk down the steps and north into Manannan's bedroom. Look on top of the closet to find a small brass key. Open the closet and look behind the clothes to discover an ancient map. There is currently nothing on the map, but locations will appear on it as Llewdor is explored. Open the dresser drawer to get the vial of Rose Petal Essence. Open the dresser drawer below the mirror to collect the hand mirror. Exit Manannan's bedroom. Open the inventory by pressing the tab key. Manannan will kill Gwydion if he finds him carrying any of the items with an asterisk next to them, so we need to hide them before he appears again. Walk east into Gwydion's bedroom and drop the inventory under the bed. You could individually drop asterisk items, but it's quicker just to drop and collect the entire inventory. Go west one screen and wait for Manannan to appear when the timer is on five minutes. Seeing that Gwydion is apparently not up to any trouble, he leaves on a journey. Manannan will leave on his journey for 25 minutes, which gives plenty of time to collect many of the items needed for magic before he returns. Walk east and return to Gwydion's bedroom to get the inventory from under the bed. Walk west, down and north to Gwydion's study. The cat should be in the room, but if he isn't there just exit and return to the room until he is. Try to get the cat. Most of the time he will escape, but occasionally Gwydion will catch him. Get the cat hair while holding the cat. Walk south twice to exit the house. Open the chicken coop gate and pick one of the chickens up. Get a feather from the chicken and then open the gate to exit the chicken coop. Walk south to the mountain path. Manannan must have left on his journey before attempting to walk down the path, as he will send Gwydion back to the house if he finds him. The path is quite difficult to walk down, so start by pressing F10 until the game speed is set to slow. Next save the game by pressing F5. It is very easy to fall off the edge of the cliff here, so if Gwydion does die just press F7 to restore the game. Make your way carefully down the path to the next screen. The bottom half of the mountain path is easier than the top half. Just avoid the rocks at the side of the path and save along the way. Walk east one screen from the bottom of the path and get the mud from the stream's bank using the wooden spoon. Walk east one screen and then move onto the beach before walking south. Get the ocean water to fill the empty cup. Walk north one screen and then west four screens to arrive in the desert. Quickly face east. Medusa will appear in this area, and she has the power to turn Gwydion into stone if he faces toward her. Wait until she gets close before showing her the mirror. Walk south one screen and get the cactus growing beside the rock. Walk south two screens and get the snake skin on the sand. Walk east two screens to arrive in an area with a waterfall. An eagle will occasionally fly through this area, although it may not happen the first time Gwydion enters the area. Exit the area and return to it until the eagle flies by and drops a feather. It may take a long time for the eagle to appear and sometimes it may pass without dropping a feather at all, so just keep returning until it does. Get the feather. Walk east one screen and north one screen to see a town in the distance. Get the mistletoe that is growing on the tree. Walk west to the Three Bears house. Leave and return to the area if any of the bears are visible. Open the door to enter the house. Get the bowl of porridge on the table. Walk upstairs and open the drawer at the side of the bed with the blue cover. Get the thimble. Walk downstairs and exit the house. Walk onto the flowerbed and get the dew from the flower with the thimble. Walk one screen west and one screen north. Get the acorns and then reach into the hole of the tree to reveal a ladder. Climb up the ladder to see the bandits' shack. Look into the shack and read the message that is shown. If somebody is moving around inside the treehouse, climb down to exit the screen and then climb back up to return to it. Keep looking into the treehouse until a message appears that there is a figure is sleeping in a chair. Climb up the ladder until Gwydion's feet are parallel with the platform at the side of the shack. Walk west into the shack and get the purse on the table. Exit the shack and climb back down the ladder. Walk east two screens to the town. Open the door to the store. Inside, get the fur from Kenny the dog and buy the fish oil, lard, pouch and salt on the shelves. Exit the store and walk one screen west and one screen north to the mounatin path. Decrease the spped and save frequently on the way up the path. Open the door to the house at the top of the path. Walk north to the study and open the cabinet at the bottom-left corner of the room to collect the magic wand. Move the book on the shelf at the right side of the room, then move the lever that was behind it to reveal stone steps. Walk down the steps. Continue down the stone steps to arrive in the wizard's laboratory. Approach the shelf at the north side of the room and get the mandrake root powder, nightshade juice, powdered fish bone, toad spittle and toadstool powder. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.2. Casting the Spells ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By following the first section of the walkthrough, we should now have enough of the items to create six of the seven magic spells in the game. This section of the game can be quite frustrating, as creating the magic can take quite a long time and no mistakes can be made at all. Every letter has to be typed correctly and all items that the spell requires must have been collected. For this reason it's important to save the game before attempting each of the spells. Start by looking at page II of the book on the table. Put the chicken feather in the bowl, the dog fur in the bowl, the dried snake skin in the bowl, the powdered fishbone in the bowl, and the thimbleful of dew in the bowl. Mix with hands. Separate the mixture into two pieces and finally put the dough in ears. Enter the verse after correctly adding all of the ingredients. Feather of fowl and bone of fish Molded together in this dish Give me wisdom to understand Creatures of air sea and land Wave the wand after entering the final line to complete the first spell. Next look at page IV. Put a pinch of saffron in essence and enter the verse. Oh winged spirits set me free Of earthly bindings just like thee In this essence behold the might To grant the precious gift of flight Wave the wand to complete the second spell. Look at page XIV. Grind the dried acorns in the mortar to make acorn powder. Put the acorn powder in the bowl, and the nightshade juice in the bowl. Stir the mixture. Light the brazier and heat the mixture on the lit brazier. Spread the mixture on the table and enter the verse. Acorn powder ground so fine Nightshade juice like bitter wine Silently in darkness you creep To bring a soporific sleep. Wave the wand to complete the third spell. Put the sleep powder in the pouch. Look at page XXV. Put the mandrake root powder in the bowl, the cat hair in the bowl, and two spoons of fish oil in the bowl. Stir the mixture. Put the dough on the table. Pat the dough into a cookie and enter the verse. Mandrake root and hair of cat Mix oil of fish and give a pat A feline from the one who eats. This appetizing magic treat. Wave the wand to complete the fourth spell. Look at page LXXXIV. Put the cup of ocean water in the bowl. The brazier should still be lit from the spell on page XIV, but light the brazier anyway just to be sure. Heat the bowl on the brazier. Put the mud in the bowl, and a pinch of toadstool powder in the bowl. Blow the bowl and enter the verse. Elements from the earth and sea Combine to set the heavens free When I stir this magic brew Great God Thor I call on you Wave the wand to complete the fifth spell. Put the brew in the jar. Look at page CLXIX. Cut the cactus with the knife. Squeeze the cactus on the spoon. Put the cactus juice in the bowl, the lard in the bowl, and the toad spittle in the bowl. Stir the mixture with the spoon and enter the verse. Cactus plant and horny toad I now start down a dangerous road Combine with fire and mist to make Me disappear without a trace Wave the wand to complete the sixth spell. Put the ointment in the jar. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.3. Leaving Kolyma ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walk up twice to return to Manannan's study. Move the lever and the books to prevent Manannan from learning of Gwydion's spell making. Open the cabinet to replace the magic wand. Move south, up and east to Gwydion's bedroom. Put the cookie in the porridge, and then drop all of the inventory under the bed. Get the poisoned porridge from under the bed. Now when Manannan returns from his travels, he will only see that Gwydion is carrying a seemingly harmless bowl of porridge. Walk west and then down to the entry hall. Wait for Manannan, who complains of being hungry when he appears. Walk east to the dining room and give the bowl of porridge to Manannan. He eats it and transforms into a cat, a form that he will remain in for the rest of the game. Now that Gwydion is safe from Manannan, it's time to get all of his items back. Walk west, up and east to Gwydion's room and get the inventory from below the bed. Look at the magic map to see all of the locations that have been visited so far. Gwydion will teleport to any location that is selected, so move the cursor south one square and east one square, then press F6 to travel to the tavern. Open the tavern door to enter the tavern. Exit and return until two bandits are sitting at the table. They won't reveal any new information while Gwydion is near, so dip the fly wings in the essence to transform into a fly, and then wait for the bandits to talk about their hideout. Exit the tavern. Move west twice after exiting the tavern to arrive in an area with the walnut tree. Fly into the hole at the bottom of the tree to see a rope leading up into a small hole above. Outside the tree, say fly begone, myself return to return to normal form. The point of that little expedition into the tree was to show that there was a rope in the hollow trunk. As Gwydion should have already climbed up to the bandits' den earlier in the game, we don't need to worry about climbing up the tree again. Look at the map and this time move the cursor two squares north from the tavern. Press F6 to travel to the cave. It's time to use another magic spell. Dip the eagle feather in essence. With Gwydion now in eagle form, fly toward the cave to see the giant spider. Gwydion picks the spider up in his beak and dumps it in the ocean. Return to the cave and enter it to talk to the Oracle. The Oracle says that a dragon has chosen Gwydion's sister Rosella as a sacrifice. He tells Gwydion that he might be able to help her if he hurries, and gives him a stone of amber. Exit the cave and walk west one screen, then north five screens to return to the house. Open the door to enter the house. Walk north and open the cabinet to retrive the wand. Move the book and the lever, then walk down twice to return to the laboratory. Look at page VII. Grind the salt in the mortar. Grind the mistletoe in the mortar. Rub the stone in the mixture. Kiss the stone and enter the verse. With this kiss I thee impart Power most dear to my heart Take me now from this place hither To another place far thither Wave the wand to complete the seventh spell. With the final spell completed, it's now time to leave Kolyma. Look at the map and move the cursor one square east and one square south to the tavern, then press F6 to teleport to the location. Open the tavern door to see a group of sailors seated around the table. Talk to the sailors and the captain will ask for gold in return for passage on the ship. Give the gold to the captain and he will tell Gwydion to board the ship at the wharf. Exit the tavern and walk east twice along the dock. Walk across the gangplank to board the ship. After arriving on the ship, the captain orders his men to take Gwydion's items and to put him in the hold. Walk east one screen and get the crate. Move west one screen and drop the small crate at the right side of the big crate. Jump on the crate twice to stand on the big crate. Jump again and Gwydion will hang onto the ladder above the crate. Climb up the ladder and go east at the top. Quickly exit and return to the room if one of the crew members is here. Get the shovel in front of the boat. Walk west one screen. Exit and return to the room if the captain is in his cabin. Enter the cabin and open the chest at the bottom of the bed. Get all of Gwydion's inventory from the chest. Exit the cabin and climb down the ladder to return to the hold. Walk east one screen and look at the magic map. The destination of the ship is the island at the bottom-right corner of the map. It can take quite a long time for the ship to make its way over to the island, so just keep checking the map frequently to see how much further the ship has to go. Eventually a message will appear that mentions that land is near. Pour the sleep powder on the floor and say Slumber Henceforth to cast the sleep spell over the ship. Walk west one screen and jump on the crate twice, then jump onto the ladder. Climb up two screens and step off the left side of the ladder. Walk east one screen and then drop off the north side of the ship. Swim east to see the island. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.4. Route to Daventry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A shark will appear just before Gwydion reaches the beach. Avoid being attacked by the shark by swimming toward the bottom-left corner of the beach. The shark will get very near, but will leave after Gwydion steps onto the island. Walk east one screen and walk to the right side of the palm tree. Set the game speed to slow and take five steps east from the palm tree before stopping. Dig in the sand with the shovel to find a small chest that contains treasure. Walk north one screen and east one screen to see a mountain path. Walk on the path and move west one screen. Be careful not to fall off the south edge, as Gwydion will have to go back to the beginning of the path. Follow the path along to the left and climb up the rock. Step off the right side of the rock and walk east to the next screen. Walk north around the corner and then continue following the path through the forest to see a waterfall. Climb up the waterfall and walk east two screens. Type put fly wings in essence but don't press enter yet. Wait for the abominable snowman to appear, then press enter. The abombinable snowman becomes confused by the fly and returns to his cave. Type fly begone, myself return to change back to normal form. Walk down the south-west path to start climbing down the icy wall. Enter the top-left cave to exit the top-right cave. Walk to the left side of the ledge and climb onto the wall. Climb down the wall and enter the bottom-middle cave to exit the bottom-left cave. Climb up the wall and enter the middle cave to exit the bottom-right cave. Walk east two screens and south one screen to fall into Daventry. Walk east one screen to enter the stair cave that was seen in King's Quest I. Use the page up key to climb up the first set of stairs, and the home key to climb up the second set of stairs. Walk west to exit the cave. The cave leads to the Land of the Clouds, another location seen in the original King's Quest. Before moving anywhere else, rub the invisibility ointment on Gwydion. Walk west one screen to see the giant three-headed dragon that the Oracle mentioned. Stir the storm brew with finger and then say the verse brew of storms, churn it up. Storm clouds gather, and lightning strikes the dragon and kills it. Untie Rosella and she will now follow Gwydion where he walks. Walk east two screens to return to the cave. This time, use the page down key to walk down the top stairs and the end key to walk down the bottom stairs. Walk west one screen from the cave exit to see the old well, which is now full of rocks. Walk north two screens to return to Daventry castle. In the ending, Gwydion enters the throne room with his sister Rosella. King Graham and Queen Valanice gladly welcome them back to the castle, and Gwydion finds out that his real name is Alexander. Graham points out that the magic mirror had been clouded ever since the night he was stolen from the cradle by Manannan. The next second the mirror clears, and Valanice rejoices that all of the curses in Daventry have been lifted. Graham retrieves his adventurer's hat and decides to give it away to a new companion. He throws it into the air. Alexander and Rosella both reach for it, but the message The End appears before the game shows who catches it. A congratulation message appears, followed by a message that the adventuring will continue in King's Quest IV. =============================================================================== 3.

Character List =============================================================================== ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN This giant grey monster appears on the snowy mountain range. He kills Gwydion if he catches him. The abominable snowman can be confused easily, as he will walk back to his cave if he sees Gwydion transform into an eagle or a fly. BANDIT IN THE HIDEOUT Found in hideout at the top of the acorn tree. The bandit guards the purse and gold coins in the hideout, but this can only be collected when the bandit is sleeping. Items that were stolen can be found in the bin in the shack. BANDITS IN LLEWDOR Two bandits will attempt to catch Gwydion in the areas surrounding the oak tree. They will steal any treasures they have and will drop them in the bin in their hideout. They will leave Gwydion alone if he holds no treasures. BANDITS IN THE TAVERN Two bandits sit in the tavern drinking ale.

Animation: The wizard raises his hands and the screen shakes as Gwydion turns into a small pile of ashes on the floor.

Message: (No message) Animation: Gwydion somersaults out of view. Information: The winding path is very tricky to walk down safely, so you have a very high chance of seeing this death at least once. Set the speed to slow and save frequently on the way down the path. Action: Swim too far out into the ocean. Location: Ocean at the east side of Llewdor. Message: You have reached the limits of your strength. You panic and start to struggle hopelessly. Animation: Gwydion splashes for a few seconds before disappearing.

Location: In the desert at the west side of Llewdor. Message: Your eyes fall upon a face so hideous, so gruesome, that the horror of it is beyond description.

A cold chill shivers down your spine, turning to a stiffness that soon hardens your body like a rock. You are now nothing but a statue. Animation: Gwydion flickers for a few seconds before turning into stone. Information: Medusa crosses the desert very quickly on faster speeds, so set the speed to slow to have enough time to show her the mirror. Action: Stay in the desert for too long.

Message: "Yer more trouble than yer worth!" the Captain thunders. "'Tis the plank fer ya now!" As you sink beneath the waves you hear the crew rooting for the shark! Animation: Gwydion is blindfolded and walks off the edge of the plank. There is a splash, and a shark in the water swims toward him. Information: Don't enter the captain's quarters when the captain is there. Exit and return to the screen until he's gone. Action: Cast the storm spell. Location: On the pirate ship. Message: It seems that your storm has backfired. Animation: The screen shakes as the ship sinks into the ocean. Information: Although one of the magic spells does have to be used on the ship, the storm spell is not it. Action: Stay on the ship after land is seen. Location: On the pirate ship. Message: You hear the sounds of the ship setting sail. With a grim sense of foreboding, you realise that you are doomed to the life of a cabin boy. Animation: Graham stands still. Information: You have a few minutes to cast the sleep spell after the land is seen, but don't wait around on the ship for too long. Action: Cast the sleep spell before land is seen. Location: On the pirate ship. Message: As your sleep spell takes effect, a silence suddenly descends over the ship. "Wait a second..." "Who's steering the ship?" you ask. Unfortunately, there is no reply. With no one to steer the ship, you are doomed to drift at sea forever. Animation: Graham stands still. Information: Wait until the land has been seen before casting the sleep spell. Action: Fall down to the lower deck. Location: On the upper deck of the pirate ship. Message: (No message) Animation: Gwydion somersaults down to the lifeboat area below. Information: There is no railing guarding the drop, so be careful when walking around it to avoid this scene. Action: Get caught by the shark. Location: In the ocean near the island beach. Message: Gosh! You barely made a mouthful for that hungry shark. Animation: Graham sinks below the surface. Information: It can be difficult to prevent this scene as Gwydion needs to swim to the correct point on the island to avoid the shark. Action: Fall off the mountain path. Location: On the island. Message: (No message) Animation: Gwydion somersaults out of view. Information: The path twists and turns, but is nowhere near as difficult to walk along as the mountain path in Llewdor. It's quite wide, so just set the speed to normal and save frequently. Action: Get caught by the abominable snowman. Location: On the snowy peak. Message: The terrible, hairy creature grabs you with bone-crushing force! You resist, but it is no use. He carries you away to his cave, where you meet an early (and unspeakable) demise. Animation: The snowman picks Gwydion up and takes him off screen. Information: Make sure that you have the spell typed and ready to use against the abominable snowman before entering the screen. Action: Fall off the cave maze. Location: Below the snowy peak. Message: (No message) Animation: Gwydion falls from the mountain. Information: Another place to set the speed to slow. The ledges outside the caves are very thin, so stay close to the mountain. Action: Fall into the chasm. Location: Daventry ruins. Message: You successfully fall for twenty meters before you hit the bottom. You get a 4.1 from the Russian judge. Animation: Gwydion falls out of view. Information: The chasm shouldn't be a problem as Gwydion doesn't need to walk close to it. There is one small rock that is close to the edge, but you can walk around the north side of it to be safe. Action: Fall into the chasm. Location: Daventry well. Message: The treacherous chasm has claimed another victim. Animation: Gwydion falls out of view. Information: This section of the chasm is at the south side of the area and Gwydion doesn't need to walk near to it. Action: Fall off the edge of the steps. Location: At the top of the cave with the steps. Message: (Various) Animation: Graham somersaults off the edge of the steps. Information: The steps are angled so it can be quite easy to fall off the edge. Use the home and page up keys to walk diagonally up the steps. Each location on the steps has a different death message. Action: See the dragon while visible. Location: Land of the Clouds. Message: A huge, fire-breathing dragon is here and it has SEEN you! Hypnotized by its baleful glare, you stand frozen in your tracks!! What a way to go; ending up as a dragon's barbeque! Animation: The dragon breathes fire and Gwydion turns into a small pile of ashes on the floor. Information: Cast the invisibility spell before entering the area. Action: Untie Rosella while invisible. Location: Land of the Clouds. Message: The dragon notices Princess Rosella being untied, and blasts you both with a long, licking tongue of flame. You've broken the spell of invisibility. Animation: Gwydion turns into a small pile of ashes on the floor, and Rosella remains on the stake. Information: Cast the storm spell before saving Rosella. Action: Fall off the edge of the clouds. Location: Any location in the Land of the Clouds. Message: (Various) Animation: Graham somersaults off the edge. Information: Graham can't walk on any of the clouds. Each location in the Land of the Clouds has a different death message. =============================================================================== 11.
