[*] [*] [*] K I N G ' S Q U E S T I I I : [*] [*] [*] [*] The Solution !!!!!!! [*] [*][*][*][*][*][*][*][*][*][*][*][*][*][*][*][*][*] \ / \ / \ Written By: Kloey Detect / --------------------------------------------- SPECIAL THANX TO THE FOLLOWING FOR ALL THEIR HELP IN SOLVING THIS RADICAL ADVENTURE: The Shadow The Undefined Being The Guardian Mickey Mouse PC Pirate The Game Master Happy Hacker Mr.Wonderful Bleu Beard Sam Brown Balboa CatchClaw Once again, thank you very much for all of your help in solving King's Quest III. All of the above helped in one way or another. Not all provided valid or even intelligent thoughts to the solution, and you know who you are! But if it was not for the support of the following on the Gallifrey, King's Quest III would have taken much longer to solve. Once again thank you and enjoy this tutorial help guide. - Five O Special Thanks To SPI for cracking King's Quest III Special Thanks to Kloey Jr. for his insight and thoughts !!!!! This Tutorial is dedicated to my sister, who is now mourning the death of her pet guinea pig, Max, who left us while I solved King's Quesy III in the wee hours of the morning. ..................................Amen. "Hot damn! I beat your ass.........Jesus-H, it is 4:58 AM. I will write the tutorial tomorrow night." You have just witnessed the past events of December 7....1941, a day that will live in infamy, whoops, wrong story. You have just witness the events of last night or this morning as the case may be. I have now sat down, after three hours or so, of re-writting my maps so that people, other than ostriches, could read my handwritting. If you would like a formal map, please leave e-mail for Kloey Detect on a BBS near you. Well, Sierra On-Line topped themselves again. This is the best of the King's Quest series yet, as far as the toughness goes, but still feel that King's Quest II was more based on fairy tales and mythology, as in King's Quest. Well a different guy did this one. Look for King's Quest IV between June and July!!! OBJECT <*><*><*> You have been captured by the evil and homsexual wizard, Manannan, who if you can't tell by the name, probably lives in Greenwhitch Village and skips to work wearing a pink flowing gown. You must escape from Manannan, rescue your sister, and take her back to Daventry in time, or the kingdom will suffer further ruin and be destroyed, which we would not want to happen! Because King's Quest III is so large, actually smaller than King's Quest II, but a bitch to map, it makes it very difficult to explain step-by-step how to solve it, so I am going to help you solve this adventure, but not really: I will provide the information necessary to do so, but for those of you who do not want to take the cheaters way out, you will only get the hints that you need. Here we go................... -------- * NOTE * -------- The following maps are the most "conceptual" maps that there are: You may be at a poin and go south, when you go north to return to the beginning, you will not return to the point you started at, but instead to the left or right of the point. There is a wrap-around effect in the game and applies only to the north/south borders. * - Magical item which you may not possess while Manannan is still in the house, unless you enjoy being killed! O - Ocean, which you can not swim across completely or defend yourself against sharks! # - Non-accessable area which is between/in the cliffs, chasms, walls, mountains, etc. You have exactly 30 minutes on the game clock in which to either gather your stuff together and solve the adventure or return to the house, stash the stuff under your bed(pay attention, clue #1) and then wait for Manannan to blow off. ---Remember to ALWAYS put the wand back when you return home. --| | ---Remember to ALWAYS shut the trap door & move the book back. | | |----------If you do not do this then Manannan will blow you into cocaine dust. Manannan's House - 1st Level ---------------------------- 8 6 2 | | \1 -- 7 | 5 | 11 | 12 | 13 Manannan's House - 2nd Level ---------------------------- 3 4 | / 2 -- 10 Manannan's Laboratory --------------------- 8 | | 9 "The World Below The Castle" Greenwitch Village ! -------------------- _______ / \ E D 26 -- 25 12 24/23 -- 19 OOOOOOOOOOO N E | | ######## | | | OOOOOOOOOOO D S 27 -- 31 ######## 21 --- 20 OOOOOOOOOOO L E | | ######## | | | OOOOOOOOOOO E R 28-- 30 -- 13 ---- 14 --- 15 -- 16 -- 17 O S T | | | | | OOOOOOOOOOO S 29 -- 32 -- 33 ---- 22 --- 18 OOOOOOOOOOO Pirate Ship(U.S.S.

In the following pages you will have the numeric key to the above maps. To understand them you must be at least 10 years in age and be able to read 3 syllable words. I will list the # of the map location followed by the description of the location, and then all the things that should be done on the screen. Now bear in mind that you may have to complete certain conditions in order to perform certain commands. Example: 666 - Satan's Party Hole [1]Sacrafice virgin [2]Get pitchfork Comprende !!??!! Extra Hints: [*][*][*][*] 1] To poison the porridge, place the cookie in it. 2] To get the cat fur: a)Hold cat b)Get fur 3] To stay safe during the journey to Daventry while on the Pirate's ship, remain at the rear of the ship untill you reach land. You have to figure it out from there. 4] SAVE YOUR GAME FREQUENTLY!!!!! I used the following format when I saved a game: 136/210 : Captn.Room : 1:26:23 This is the score I have : Location : Time used 5] The eagle will drop the feather randomly, so GET IT ! Before we continue let me just say I finished King's Quest III, but did NOT have all the points, which I don't give a crap about. I attribute the loss in points to the following: Failure to complete the folowing spells: ---------------------------------------- Understanding the Language of creatures(10 pts) Causing a deep sleep(10 pts) Failure to gain the following objects: -------------------------------------- Reptile skins Acorns I needed the above two objects to complete the above two spells, simple, isn't it!

I only got 169/210 points, and I have allready discussed why. I have only provided you with 80% of the solve. What I mean by this is that you must perform certain actions before others can obviously take place. I.e. You must open a brew to drink it, unless you are a conehead, or on a more understandable basis, you must have the key in order to open the wizard's safe. Well....have fun....live long.....and remember to save your game frequently......and look for King's Quest IV !!!!
