KINGS QUEST V

Once upon a time the late King Graham was walking around in his forest
Daventry, when he decided to head for home he could not see his castle, and
all his family! gone........................ King Graham will know (from the
owl Cedric), that a bad magician has shrunk the whole thing and dragged away
with it. The bad magician is named Mordack ! Graham is now led to Cedrics
master, the good magician Crispin. He will learn Graham the language of the
animals, and give him a magic stick.

After the visit by Crispin, Graham and his friend and aid Cedric
goes to the tailor in the town.Graham looks at the nice warming coat, but
finds it expensive. When leaving the store he finds a silver coin next to the
door and picks it up. Now he goes to the barrel, on the opposite site of the
street and gets the dead fish in the barrel,and then he leaves the town.
At the bakers shop just outside town he buys a cake. And then go on to the
west,where he find a tree with a hole. The tree is at the moment occupied by
some honeybees,and a bigbear,which has been attracted by the smell of honey.
Graham throws the fish at the bear,and the bear takes the fish and leaves the
scene. As a thank you, you recieve a honeycomp from the queen bee, you have to
get the honeycomp from the tree by yourself. Near the tree you discover a
wooden stick which you take,it might come in handy,sometime. Go north to
where the termitary is.Throw the wooden stick at the dog and he will leave
the scene. The termite king thanks you for rescueing him from the dog,and 
offers you his services. Now you have to enter the desert ! Look at the map !
And dont forget to visit the oasis to get some needed refreshment.

In the northwest you find the temple,here you have to hide outside and wait
for the two "desert bandit" to arrive on their horses. One of the bandits
knocks on the tempel door, with a diamond headed stick, and the door opens.

The bandits have a camp south of the temple,here you go to get the diamond
headed stick,it is in a small tent. Then you go back to the temple and knock
on the temple door, which then opens, and you enter the treasure palace.

All you have to get inside the treasure room is the oil lamp and the gold coin
close to the door on the right. Then you have to exit before the doors closes
again,since the doors only opens from the outside.

Now before leaving the desert you have to go to THe sKeLEtOn and get the shoe,
now leave the desert and go to the gipsy.

Look at the card !
The man at the door lets you pass for the prize of a gold coin, which you
give him,to get to see the fortune teller. The fortune teller now explains
to you why Mordack has kidnapped your family.

Mordack is the brother of Mannanan (Look Kings quest IIIŠTo heiris human). Which Alexander, Sir Grahams son at that time turned into a
cat ! And only Alexander can turn Mannanan back into human again. Now Mordack
is threatening to kill Alexanders mother and sister, if he doesnt turn
Mannanan back to human again. The only major problem is that Alexander has
forgotten the magicspell ! The fortune teller gives you a amulet,to protect
you against evil spells.

Then you leave the fortune teller,and go to the east where you see a big
weeping willow (Tree).The tree tells you that it once was a princess,and
that the witch has stolen her heart. Now you dont have to be afraid of the
witch,because of your amulet. So you give her the oil lamp,which she opens
and immediately she's been neutralized by the ghost from the lamp. Now you
have to go to the witches house where you open the casket and get the spinning
wheel.In the drawer you find a bag containing 3 jewels,Then you have to get
the key in the lamp. The key you have to use,to open the small door in the
weeping willow,the easiest way to get to the tree is east. Behind the small
door in the tree is the golden heart of the princess.

Now to get out of the spelled forest,you have to make some small tricks.

Go to the west side of the witches house and press the honey out of the
honeycomb, the dripping honey will create a sticky substance. Now you have to
drop the 3 jewels so that the last one is directly in the sticky honey. Now a
little troll comes into the screen and he collects the jewels one by one,until
he get stuck in the honey. You have to free him,and as a gesture he guides
you out of the spelled forest and gives you a pair of boots. Now go to the
weeping willow and give it (the princess) the heart back. He then recieves a
harp,and at the place where the gypsies were at you find a tambourine. The
midget family is interested in the spinning wheel,so you trade it in for a
wooden doll. At the backer,a mouse is in great danger,its almost being
caught by the cat. So you have to throw the shoe at the cat, which then exits
the scene. As a thank from the mouse you recieve the promise of help if ever
needed.

Then you have to visit the town where you go to the toy maker,he will change
your wooden doll for a sledge. Then you go to the shoemaker,he will change
your boots for a little hammer. Then you visit the taverna,and soon you will
get mugged by two of the bad guys, they will tie you up and drag you into the
cellar. Here you call for the mouse which will arrive rapidly, and will 
bite the ropes. You get the rope, and break the lock on the door with the
hammer and then you can enter the kitchen. Here you have to take the lambmeat
from the supply room. Then you have to leave the house, by the backside, that
is the left door.

Next to the taverna,is a barn with a big haystack in front of it. Now you have
to search the haystack to find the needle ! But remember the termites. The
will arrive and search the haystackin no time,and the termite king will
present you with the golden needle. You the go back to the tailor, which will
give you the nice warming coat you saw there before. Now Sir Graham has all
the things needed to cross the mountains ! On the east your pass is blocked by
a snake, use the trambourin it will scare the snake away. When your in the
mountains you must be aware of the cold weather there and wear your warm coat,
and dont forget to eat when your hunger starts to appear. Feel free to eat
some lamb meat. The pass ends by a deep ravine, here you have to use the rope
as a lasso and throw it (a lot of throwing in this game !) at the rock NOT at
the branch it will collapse,and then good bye.
Now climb up the rope and you will get to a plateau which is separated by a
deep ravine,at the forward rocks there are some projecting steps, almost like
a stair, use them to pass the ravine. Then all by the sudden, a wolf appears
and it takes Cedric and runs away. You have to get on the sledge and persuit
the wolf,then you will come to the castle of the ice princess. In front of
the castle, there is a big eagle, who asks for something to eat, so you give
him some lamb meat,and he will fly away. At the castle you will find out that
you have been trespassing and that you will be sentenced to be eaten by the
wolves. So you better act fast and start playing your harp,then you will get
a second chance. A wolf will take you to the crystal cavern where the terrible
yeti has his residence,your task is to get the yeti out. You just throw (you
see,throwing again) the cake at the yeti and he will fall into the sure dead !

Now you have to take a piece of crystal, you loosen it with the hammer. The
ice princess is very moved from what she have seen and lets you and Cedric
leave. Shortly after a twin headed vulture arrives and grabs you, and takes
you to its nest. In the nest you discover a medallion. Soon the eagle will
come and take you to the sea, where Cedric is already waiting.

You pick up the wood chisel that somebody left on the beach, and head for the
north. Here you find a sailing boat, but before you proceed you have to
tighten the hull of the boat with some wax (From the honeycomb). Now you go
sailing.Look map ! At the Harpyien island you play the harp to calm down the
Harpyiens. At the lay by where you been taken you find a fish hook lying on
the ground,then go south where you find Cedric, hes been hurt by the
Harpyiens. At the beach you get the big shell, enter the boat and head for the
mainland. Look map !. There you meet a hermit which helps Cedric and will help
you to get to Mordackscastle. But before that you have to give the old hermit
the shell, he needs it as a hearing aid, you see he cant HEAR you. You will be
guided to Mordacks castle by a mermaid, his castle is located on a island of
rocks. Just before you reach the island the boat is crashed against the riff,
so now there is no way back. You have to get the dead fish from the beach and
then you proceed up the stairs to Mardocks castle.

The entrance to the castle is guarded by two rock dragons, which will burn any
intruder to ashes if they come close. Here you have to use the crystal, it
reflects the energy back to the dragons, which then is permanently out of
order. Just let of the trenches which surrounds the castle you find a stair
which leads to a fence solid plantet in the ground. You use the wood chisel
to open it,and you enter a underground labyrinth, here you have to find a
monster.

I cant tell you where it is,since its changing its location all the time.
When you find the monster you give it the tambourine,and it will make a
somersault of joy and thereby loose its hairpin. You get the hairpin and use
it on the door to the supply room which leads you to the castle of Mordack.
You search the supply room and in one of the cabinets you find a bag af dried
peas, next to the supply room you find the kitchen where you meet one of
Mordacks prisoners, princess Cassima. Give her the medallion and she will
trust you.

Now you have to walk around in the castle until you meet the 
servant of Mordack which will put you in a prison cell. In the prison cell
you search the mouse hole and discovers a piece of chease which you get with
the help of the fish hook. Then princess Cassima will free you from the prison
and take you back to the kitchen. Next time you meet the servant you just
pour the peas on the floor and he will fall. It is also possible to meet a
black cat, which is Mannanan, if you do, just give him the fish and put him in
the bag with the peas. Now you have to go to Mordacks library.Look map !

In the library you have to read the magic book which lies on the table. After
a while you can see Mordack is going to bed in the room next to. He leaves his
magic stick on his night table, you get it and go to the laboratory, its
opposite of the bedroom. There you see a big round shaped machine, two trays
is connected to the machine, you put Mordacks magic stick on the one tray and
Crispins on the other.

Now you have to throw the cheese in the hole of the machine and it will run,
it will then transfer all the magic from Mordacks stick to Crispins stick.

Just when the machine is finished Mordack will arrive and grab for his useless
stick. However the mad Mordack is not yet beaten. First he will transform
himself in to different monsters,just to finish of Graham. The only chance you
have is to transfer Mordack into something else. So you use Crispins stick and
you can use four different spells. If you dont want to try them yourself, try

Mordack finally turns himself into a firewall which you quickly responds to
with a raincloud. That was the end for mr.Mordack.

Now the good magician Crispin will appear and cast a spell that will bring
your castle back to where its supposed to be. Then princess Cassima and the
rest of the royal family can return to the castle.

And you have just solved KINGS QUEST V with Maximum score.
