Kings Quest 5 walkthrough
Updated: 01/31/2019 by Computer Hope
Brief review and general strategies
King Quest V, unlike its earlier predecessors, has a completely new icon-driven interface that requires no typing on the keyboard. This new interface also makes the game much more user friendly. Much of the fun in this game is derived from exploration.
Whenever you come to a new location in the game, a general strategy would be to do the below 4 sequence of action, in order.
- Examine your surrounding - Click the eye symbol, and examine everything in sight. Sometimes, examining an item will reveal other hidden items, like examining a barrel to find a fish within.
- Talk to every living creature - Talk to everything that has a voice in this game, including trees and animals. This helps you to determine actions that need to be done.
- Apply items to situations - Try to apply the items in your inventory to specific situations. For example, you might want to throw a stick to a dog invading an ant nest.
- Operate on everything - Click the hand symbol and operate on everything that is on the screen, especially objects that glitter. Most of the time, the operate icon enables you to pick up the item and keep it in your inventory. At other times, operate will let you perform appropriate actions, like drinking from a stream or opening a book.
It is important to revisit places that you have been to before, because events in the game are often triggered by items in your inventory. For example, on the screen at the bee-hive, a bear will appear, only after you have found a fish. Hence, whenever you are stuck at any point in the game, visit earlier screens to see if new situations appear.
Walkthrough
Below is a step by step walkthrough of the game. You start the game at Crispin's home, with an empty inventory bag. The '*' line tells you the location where the event takes place. The symbols after the ':' sign tells you how you could get to the current location from the previous location. For example, 3N, 2E would means that you should move 3 screens north, and 2 screens east to get there.
