SOLUTION FOR KINGS QUEST V

NOTE: There will be times when a pop-up screen will ask for a spell to be
cast and you will be prompted to find the correct letters that correspond
to four symbols. These are copy protection tests, where you'll need your
book. These come up at random times, so when they come up, they won't be
included here. Also, if you get the message "Out Of Heap", it means out
of memory. Remove any TSR's etc. from memory before running it again.

                      THE ICONS AND WHAT THEY DO

                           THE INTRODUCTION

At the start of the game you will be asked if you have played before. If
you have not, then a short intro to the story will come up. You'll see
King Graham's castle be shrunk and stolen by the evil wizard Mordack. The
quest is to find Mordack, and return with your castle. Cedric, a wise old
owl will accompany you throughout your quest, but won't be with you through
all segments. After you receive the wand from the good wizard Crispin you'll
be outside his house in the land of Serenia, with three ways to go. I am
going to give you a brief idea of where to go, and what to do when you get
there. I cannot give you each left/up/down you have to make. That's too
difficult to do, much less follow when you're reading.

                            GOING TO TOWN

Come across the bridge by -Traveling- to the bottom of the screen on path.
(The hour glass means wait...)
Ignore the snake and continue downward via bottom of the screen.
Take the ICON and put it on the door at the end of the path.
Now you'll be inside the town. Things to look for and do.
1. Talk to the man fixing the wagon.
2. Enter the first store you come to; the Tailor's Shop
3. Come back out, go to the wagon.
   a. Pick up the silver coin using the Hand ICON
   b. Go to the barrel, Take the fish.
4. You can look around the other two stores and talk to the people but
   for all intensive purposes we've taken what we came for. (This time)
5. When you're ready we'll leave town the same way we came in.


                         OFF TO BUY A CUSTARD PIE

We're not going back the way we came on the path. There's a path that also
leads off the left side of the screen. That's the one we take. The first
building we come to on the path is the bakery. Put the -Travel- ICON on the
door and Graham will enter. You can talk to the boy and his mother, but your
pie hasn't been made yet, but is coming up shortly. When your pie is ready
When the dialog ends and you go to see if you have a silver coin, go to the
-Pouch- and box the coin and hit OK. Next touch the man with the coin and
click with the mouse button. You've bought yourself a pie. (It's for some
one else however so don't eat it). Now you can leave, we're done here.
Put the -Travel- ICON below the window and click.

                           OFF TO SEE THE BEES

Continue left and go passed the INN and onto the next screen thereafter.
We'll come back to the INN later, right now we'd get killed. Once you get
to the bee scene, you'll see a bear attacking the hive. We want to throw
him the fish. Get it from the pouch, and touch the bear with it. Now you'll
be rewarded and can take some honeycomb. Take the Hand and put it on the
bee's hive and click. Next, on the ground next to you is a stick. Take that
too. Now to your north you can see the ant hill. Let's go up one screen.

                           OFF TO SEE THE ANTS

Now we'll want the stick. Get it from the pouch and touch FIDO and click.


                           NEXT TO THE DESERT

I'm going to map out the desert now so you'll know how to get where you're
going. Then I'll tell you where to go in the order needed.

                         D D D T D D D D D D D G
                         D D D D D D D D D D D A
                         D D D D D D O D D D D B
                         D O D D B D D D D D D
                         D D D D D D D D D D D
                         D D D D O D D D D D D
                         C D D D D D D D D D D

G = Gypsy  A = Ants  B = Bees  T = Temple  O = Oasis  B = Boot  C = Camp

If you haven't already, I suggest saving the game at this point. Up to now
it's been pretty safe. Next we go to the following areas.

1. The (T)emple via the fastest route. Go to the Gypsy's camp and then left
   eight squares. Once you get to the temple the first thing to do is hide
   behind the rock on the right. Some bandits will be coming and if they see
   you, you're dead.

2. Watch the bandit's enter the temple and wait for them to leave.

3. Once they have left, take the -Hand- and put it on the water.

4. Now let's go one screen right and downward until you get to the boot.
   Take the boot.

5. Go two more downward to the oasis and drink.

6. Now come downward 1 more and go left to the bandit's camp. Once inside the
   camp you'll see two tents. The smaller one has the STAFF which we want. Go
   into it, but do not walk on the sleeping bandit's blanket, you'll wake him
   and he'll kill you. Take the staff and come back out. Now put the -Hand-
   on the bottle by the campfire and drink.

7. Now come right once, and upward to the next oasis.

8. Next go upward to the desert wall and two to the right. You'll be back
   at the temple. Go up one screen but BEFORE you knock on the door SAVE
   the game. The next part coming up was the hardest part in the whole game.
   What's going to happen is, the staff will break but the door will open.
   Once it's open you'll have 10 seconds to take a gold coin and the bottle
   next to it on the floor, and get back out. It's a lot harder than it seems.
   You'll get killed at least five times if you're using a slower IBM machine.
   Restore the saved game as soon as you can. I found it easier to line up
   the ICON before the door opens on the coin. Get the coin, then the bottle
   and don't take time to read the messages - click as soon as you see them.
   On a three button mouse the middle button will click through the icons,
   use that instead of the top of the screen menu to get the -Travel- and
   get out. I have one of the slowest machines around so it can be done!


                          A VISIT TO THE GYPSY

Once you exit the temple with the coin and bottle, drink, then go straight
right to the Gypsy camp. Upon arrival you will be told you need a Gold Coin
to get your reading. use the Gold Coin. The story takes over from there. You
will be given an amulet to wear. Wear it. It protects you from the witch's
spells, which you'll need in a little while.

                           THE WEEPING WILLOW

Go directly to the right and you'll come upon the weeping willow. She's really
a princess turned into the willow by the wicked witch. The witch stole her
heart and you'll have to find it and return it to her. You can talk to her.

                         INTO THE WITCH'S FORREST

From the Weeping Willow, go to the next screen right. You'll come to the
entrance and Cedric will be waiting outside for you. There are several things
you'll do here in the forrest.

1. You're already wearing the amulet.
2. Follow the trail until you come to the witch, then use the bottle.
3. Go to the witch's house and search it. You'll find a key, a pouch with
   emeralds, and a spinning wheel. Come back outside.
4. Go to the screen to the right and you'll see a tree with a door. Use the
   key. You will find the Weeping Willow's heart.
5. Now this next part gets a little tricky.
   a. Get the hand.
   b. Take it to the top of the screen and get the inventory pouch.
   c. When it displays the items, go onto the pouch of emeralds and click
      the mouse. The three emeralds will appear.
6. Take the path to the left until you see three sets of eyes in the bushes.
   a. Take the honeycomb put it on the path.
   b. Take the emeralds and put them on the path.
   c. The Leprecauns will lead you out of the forrest and give you a pair
      of golden shoes.


                          BACK TO THE WEEPING WILLOW

Now go left to the willow and give her her heart. Her Prince will join her.
Take the harp when she drops it to the ground.

                              BACK TO THE GYPSY

Go once more to the Gypsy camp. They've left, but they dropped a tambourine.
Take the tambourine.

                              MEETING THE GNOMES

Come down once from the Gypsy's camp and one to the right. You'll find two
Gnomes sitting outside their house. Give the spinning wheel to the Older
Gnome and he'll give you the doll the younger Gnome is making. Once you do
that we must go to the Inn. Come down one screen and all you should do is
search the haystack with the Hand. The ants will help and give you a golden
needle. Do not enter the Inn yet!!! Next:

                              BEFRIEND THE RAT

While passing the bakery, on the way back to town, you will see a cat chasing
a rat. Use the boot on the cat. This will only happen once. If you miss you
have to restore. You will not be able to proceed much beyond this point unless
you befriend the rat. Be ready for it.

                               BACK TO TOWN


The shoe maker's store is the furthest one. You can talk to his wife. Give
her your golden shoes and you'll get the hammer from her husband. You'll
need it for escaping from the Inn.

The Toy maker's store is in the same building on the south side. Give the
toy maker the doll you got from the Gnome and take the sled.

Go to the Tailor's shop and give him the golden needle and take the blue
cloak hanging on the frame.

Now you can leave town and go to the Inn.

                              NOW, TO THE INN

Upon entering you'll interrupt their robbery conversation. After which they
will knock you out, tie you up, and lock you in the cellar. The rat will
free you from the rope. Take the rope. Then get the hammer and use it on the
door. After the lock breaks, search the next room. DO NOT enter the room on
the right! They'll just knock you out again and this time they hit you harder
than the last if you get my drift.
Get the leg of lamb, and exit out the door on the left.

                                RATTLER TIME

Check your inventory, your score should now be 112 points. That's what you'll
need to get passed the snake, which is where we go next.

Go up once from the Inn, then right twice and you'll come to the snake. Use
the tambourine. Your rattle is bigger than his rattle. Now you can go ahead.

                               THE MOUNTAIN PASS

Put on the cloak. Now carefully walk the mountain pass. Do not use the -Travel-
ICON. Use the -Walk- ICON. You will have to maneuver along the edge. I hope you
have been saving along the way. Make it a practice. When you get hungry use the
leg of lamb. You'll only eat half. The other half is for the starving eagle.
When you get to the end you'll see a branch sticking out of the rock, use the
rope, but not on the branch. Use the rope on the Rock with the horn. Branches
tend to break. To climb put the hand ICON on the rope once it's around the horn.

Once you get to the top, you'll have to cross the divide by using the -Hand-
on the 4 stumps. Use the rear ones instead of the 2 more forward ones. To
get across the log, use the -Travel- ICON.

Next go to the screen on the right. Use the sled.

Once the sled has been used, take the next screen to the right and you'll see
the starving eagle. Give him the leg of lamb.

                                 THE ICE CASTLE

Walk from the eagle, up to the Ice Castle. When you get inside Queen Icebella
sicks her wolves on you. Quickly, use the harp.

She'll tell you you must rid her domain of the Yeti and her wolf, Sir Greywolf
will take you to the Yeti. When you get to the ledge, use the -Walk- ICON to
work your way along the tricky edge. Save before you try it though.

Use the pie on the yeti like you did the stick on the dog etc.

After you get rid of the Yeti, go to the next screen up. There you will find
a crystal in the back. Use the hammer on the crystal and Graham will walk to
it and take it.

Now we return to the Ice Castle the same way we came. Save it once outside
the Yeti's cave.

Leaving the castle: Sir Greywolf will lead you out and when you get to the
pass where Cedric is, go south down the path. Next Cedric will be on a pile
of rock. Put the -Travel- ICON right on Cedric and Graham will walk to him,
then walk Graham through the hole by the water. Enroute you will be picked
up by a giant Roc and taken to her nest. In the Roc's nest is a locket, take
it and wait, the eagle you befriended will rescue you and take you to the
next point in your quest.

                    THE BEACH, THE HARPIES, AND THE OLD MAN

When you get dropped off, walk to and pick up the iron bar at the bottom of
the screen. Next walk up one screen to get to the boat. Use the bees wax on
the boat, otherwise it will leak and sink. Next put the Hand ICON on the boat
to push it into the water.

Once in the water, go down one screen.
Go right four screens to get to the Harpies' island.
The Harpies take you and Cedric to the top of a mountain. As soon as you get
there use the Harp. (Put the harp on Graham and click.)
After the Harpies have flown off, take the fish hook next to the rock.
Go to the next screen on the left.
Get Cedric, he's next to the rock at the bottom of the screen.
Go to the next screen on the left.
Get the sea shell that's to the left of the entrance.
Put the hand on the boat and click.

Now we go left five screens and you'll set shore by the old man's ship.
Once on shore, get the sea shell from the pouch.
Put the hand on the bell just above the old man's door and click.
Give the shell to the old man. (Put it on the old man and click)
The old man heals Cedric and the mermaid takes you to Mordacks Castle.


                         MORDACKS ISLAND CASTLE

Upon arrival there is a blue fish just to the left of the stairs, take it.

Next, walk up the stairs and the path to the top of the screen.

Take the crystal out of the pouch to protect you from the stone snakes.

Next walk up to the castle door.

Walk the path on the left side of the castle.

Get the iron bar from the pouch and use it on the grating. Then put the Hand
on the opening and click for Graham to enter.


                                THE MAZE

                                IN THE CASTLE

Take the sack of peas from the cabinet on the left. (Put the hand on the
cabinet -click- then on the peas -click-)

Walk through the center door to the next room. Give the locket to the girl.

Walk through the door on the right. (Don't play the organ)

The blue monster gets you and locks you in a cell. Take the fish hook and use
it to get the cheese from the mouse hole. Wait for the girl to rescue you.

You have to put the hand on the hole in the wall and follow her manually
through the maze to get back to the room you found her in originally.
Put the hand on the door to open it, you won't need the hair pin this time.

Again through the center door and get the peas from the pouch.

Again through the door on the right.

Now go through the next door on the right.

Come down one screen.

Get the peas ready and when you see the blue monster put the peas on him.

Now enter the bottom door on the left.

Get the fish out of the pouch and walk up the stairs.

Go to the door on the left.

Put the fish on the cat.

Put the empty pea sack on the cat to bag the cat.

Leave the cat there and walk to the bottom of the screen.

Put the Hand on the open book near the bottom of the screen.

Walk to the left bookcase and wait. Mordack will arrive and lay down
in his bedroom to the north.

Walk into his bedroom and take the wand from the yellow nightstand by the bed

Take your wand as soon as you are able after it's charged up using the Hand.
Now take the wand from the pouch.
You change into spell creatures by putting the ICON on Graham regardless of
the animal etc he has turned himself into and selecting the appropriate
character from the four displayed on the screen.

Once your wand is fully charged and Mordacks is drained, Mordack will enter
the room and his floats to him. He will fire a spell and Cedric takes the hit.

He will change into a flying scorpion and you use the Tiger spell.
He will change into a dragon, you use the rabbit. (Looks like a man)
He will change into a snake and you use the Mongoose spell. (Far left)
He will change into fire, you use the Rain spell, and destroy him.

Crispin arrives and the rest of the story is played out for you.
