=== King's Quest III To Heir is Human ===
|
|
==== Manannan's Schedule ====
|
|
Only the minutes are important for timing Manannan:
|
|
X:00:00 - Manannan wakes up and demands a chore (or food if you're ready to
|
|
defeat him).
|
|
X:03:00 - Manannan briefly enters the room Gwydion is in to check up on him,
|
|
applying a punishment if Gwydion hasn't finished his chore or if he's been
|
|
doing something he shouldn't have. Otherwise, he leaves again within a few
|
|
seconds.
|
|
X:05:00 - Manannan goes on a journey. You will not see him until X:30:00 unless
|
|
you try to leave Llewdor.
|
|
X:30:00 - Manannan returns and demands food.
|
|
X:33:00 - Manannan briefly enters the room Gwydion is in to check up on him. If
|
|
he hasn't been fed, he kills Gwydion.
|
|
X:35:00 - Manannan goes to sleep. He will be in his bedroom for this time and
|
|
will wake up if you're too loud in there! He wakes up and kills you anyway if
|
|
you leave Llewdor.
|

===== Walkthrough =====
|
|
This may contain extreme spoilers. Commands IN CAPS are what you should
|
|
type. I haven't given all directions but they shouldn't be too hard to
|
|
figure out.
|
|
|
|
Manannan should give you a task to do. It will be one of the following:
|
|
--feed the chickens: go north of the chicken coop outside and type
|
|
"feed the chickens."
|
|
--clean the study: go north from the main hallway to the study
|
|
cabinet(west corner) and "clean study" with the feather duster.
|
|
--clean the kitchen: go to the broom on the north wall and type "clean
|
|
the kitchen."
|
|
--clean the chamber pot: go to Manannan's bedroom and type "empty
|
|
chamber pot."
|
|
|
|
Do this first(or die after five minutes game time,) and you'll have time
|
|
for the rest of the basic things pretty easily. You'll want to go to
|
|
the dining room and TAKE CUP and then TAKE BOWL(west wall), go to the
|
|
north wall, TAKE KNIFE, TAKE SPOON, and TAKE FOOD by the table. You'll
|
|
probably have to wait until Manannan leaves(after five minutes) and make
|
|
a beeline to his room from there. You can get a head start, but it's a
|
|
bit of a gamble. Sometimes he follows you very closely and will catch
|
|
you as you remove stuff. From five to thirty minutes, he will be out of
|
|
commission, and you may do as you please. But for one-sixth of the
|
|
time, steer clear of him. He will ALWAYS check on you a)25 minutes
|
|
after he leaves and b)5 minutes after he has come back.
|
|
|
|
Now, it is possible to get all the items you need and kill Manannan
|
|
after the first thirty-minute cycle, but you may need more than one. In
|
|
order that he does not catch you with magic items you must 1)PULL THE
|
|
LEVER so the passage to his laboratory is hidden and 2)PUSH THE BOOK so
|
|
that he doesn't know you've found the trigger. You must also OPEN
|
|
CABINET and return the wand. The final thing to do is to go to your
|
|
room(S,U,E from the study) and DROP ALL. Manannan will not know what
|
|
magical items you possess now.
|
|
|
|
Many items are randomly available in King's Quest III. One of them is
|
|
the cat's hair. When you are around the cat try to TAKE CAT. Use F3 if
|
|
it does not work the first time and just chase him around. Eventually
|
|
you'll get him. TAKE HAIR.
|
|
|
|
In Manannan's room, you will find the mirror in the left drawer(OPEN
|
|
DRAWER), the essence in the right drawer(OPEN DRAWER but stand back a
|
|
bit), the key above the closet(LOOK ON TOP OF CLOSET) and the
|
|
map(SEARCH CLOSET). Go up to the observatory(S,NE) and GET FLY. From
|
|
there SW, W, D, S, OPEN DOOR at chicken coop, GET CHICKEN and GET
|
|
FEATHER.
|
|
The mountain path is not too tricky to navigate. After you have gotten
|
|
behind the big rock, do not go west but rather all the way south and
|
|
then east. Save frequently. Now once you get to the next screen, go
|
|
back to the previous screen. LOOK MAP. Hit F6 and you will be
|
|
teleported to the base of the cliff. Neat, huh? The map will become
|
|
more useful as you visit more places.
|
|
|
|
There are some multi-solution items to get rid of first. An eagle
|
|
randomly flies by and drops a feather. At the base of the mountain or
|
|
to the east are good places to wait, but you may want to save your game
|
|
and restore if you're not lucky after two minutes. The place east also
|
|
contains some mud banks where you can GET MUD with the spoon(you can get
|
|
the mud anywhere with banks but this is easiest.) Go north, GET
|
|
MISTLETOE, then west. OPEN DOOR to see if the Bears are in. If not,
|
|
walk in until you see porridge on the table, then TAKE PORRIDGE, go
|
|
upstairs, OPEN DRAWER, GET THIMBLE, exit the house, and GET DEW in the
|
|
garden. Go north, west, GET ACORNS(this will probably require a few
|
|
tries) and now you can "cheat" a bit. GRAB HOLE and a rope ladder will
|
|
come down. Climb the rope and save while you do(it's easy to fall),
|
|
enter the treehouse at the top, and when the bandit is sleeping GET
|
|
PURSE and get out of there. Climb back down. Go west. Now go south
|
|
and type USE MIRROR but don't use it until Medusa is close(walk
|
|
continually south. When she is in view hit the south key and when she's
|
|
close hit F3. You'll get her.) From west of the acorns you can GET
|
|
CACTUS(the small one by the rock, on the east side) and also GET
|
|
SNAKESKIN two south of the cactus. Go all the way east, GET WATER and
|
|
go west and south twice where you will want to enter the store. PET DOG
|
|
to get the dog hair, BUY FISH OIL, BUY LARD, BUY SALT, and BUY EMPTY
|
|
POUCH. Now LOOK MAP, push F6 where the mountain base is, and climb back
|
|
up north(unfortunately you have to climb!) Go north to Manannan's
|
|
study, go to the cabinet, OPEN CABINET to get the wand, search the east
|
|
bookcase, and type LOOK BOOKCASE and PUSH BOOK and PULL LEVER when you
|
|
find something interesting. Climb down the stairs and if you see the
|
|
cat climb back up and down until he's gone. Climb down to the bottom of
|
|
the staircase. You're in the laboratory, so you will want to go to the
|
|
shelf and TAKE SAFFRON, TAKE MANDRAKE ROOT, TAKE NIGHTSHADE JUICE, TAKE
|
|
FISH BONE POWDER, TAKE TOAD SPITTLE, TAKE TOADSTOOL POWDER. Go to the
|
|
spell book(stand north of it) and create as many spells as you cab.
|
|
=== To Create a Spell open to the page (in roman numerals) from the manual ===
|
|
You should be able to make them all, except the teleportation spell.
|
|
Unless, of course, you do not have enough time. I recommend making the
|
|
Cat Cookie first, and PUT COOKIE IN PORRIDGE.
|
|
|
|
However quickly you do things, you'll still have to prepare for
|
|
Manannan's return. Do so by 1)PULL LEVER, 2)PUSH BOOK, 3)OPEN CABINET
|
|
in the study. Then 4)go to your room(south, up, east) and DROP ALL and
|
|
TAKE PORRIDGE, which the wizard will not recognize. Make sure it is
|
|
POISONED PORRIDGE in your item list. Smile innocently when Manannan
|
|
appears and feed him the porridge in the dining room east of the main
|
|
hall. Once he's turned into a cat you can pick up the items or create
|
|
the spells you didn't get around to. [NOTE: if you haven't put the
|
|
cookie in the porridge yet, feed Manannan the bread, mutton or fruit and
|
|
make sure you give yourself enough time to make the cat cookie. If you
|
|
run out of food to give him, he'll zap you.]
|
|
|
|
The spells you need are INVISIBILITY, STORM and FLYING. UNDERSTANDING
|
|
THE LANGUAGE OF CREATURES will help you get a maximum score and find
|
|
treasure, and TELEPORTATION SPELL is a good alternate puzzle-solver, as
|
|
is CAUSING A DEEP SLEEP. If you get exasperated making the spells you
|
|
now know which ones are 100% necessary. Do not proceed with this
|
|
walkthrough until you've gotten all the items/spells you want to, since
|
|
time gets a bit precious from here on in.
|
|
|
|
For maximum points you may now want to go to the tavern. Save the game
|
|
and DIP FLY WINGS IN ESSENCE and when the bandits talke about their
|
|
hideout(if not, restore the game) fly to the acorn trees(west) and in
|
|
the hole. Fly out, and that is eight points.
|
|
|
|
Use the map to go to the spider's cave(east of the waterfall, northeast
|
|
of the place I recommended you get the mud.) Activate the flying
|
|
spell(DIP EAGLE FEATHER IN ESSENCE) and you'll throw the spider in the
|
|
sea, for which you may not get four points. Wait a bit and you can
|
|
enter the cave, where you will get an amber stone.
|
|
|
|
Go back to the tavern, where there will be pirates. COUNT COINS and
|
|
GIVE COINS TO PIRATES so to pay for passage. Go east twice and board
|
|
the plank, where you'll find spacious(if nothing else) accommodations.
|
|
Watch the scene, go east, TAKE CRATE, wait for rats to come in(it's good
|
|
to set controls on "fastest" right here) and then wait for them to talk
|
|
about treasure. Otherwise, you won't find it even if you know where to
|
|
dig. To climb up the ladder to the west, DROP CRATE, JUMP CRATE, JUMP
|
|
CRATE, and JUMP just north of the bottom crate, and wait until the
|
|
captain's not in(save the game first) before going west to OPEN TRUNK
|
|
and GET ALL. You need to go west and wait for a bit now(do some chores
|
|
or some exercise in the meantime) for the ship to dock. You'll hear
|
|
voices saying it has, whereupon you can cast the sleep spell(cast it
|
|
before this, and you will be adrift forever!) and climb up twice--you'll
|
|
need to jump up again before climbing. Jump overboard(up twice, east,
|
|
and go north off the boat) and stay close to the bottom edge so that if
|
|
sharks pop up you can shake them by going down and then up again.
|
|
Always make progress east, and from the island go to the east side.
|
|
Five steps east of the palm tree(set the game to SLOW to make sure
|
|
although you have leeway) DIG with the shovel. You've got treasure!
|
|
Now, go north. Go east, and the path in the upper part of the screen
|
|
will curl west and then east. You'll need to climb rocks(not too tough)
|
|
and then go north, east, and north(climb up the stream.) In the
|
|
meantime, prepare the flying spell(PUT FLY WINGS IN ESSENCE) but don't
|
|
hit return. You'll want to go east twice but if the abominable snowman
|
|
appears you'll want to be prepared--he runs quicker than you can type.
|
|
Once you've gone east twice, take the LEFT path and you will be climbing
|
|
down some annoying cliffs. Remember when you walk through a cave not to
|
|
touch any keys and be alert for when you come out. From there you can
|
|
walk to the east of the screen, and south twice will see you falling
|
|
into Daventry.
|
|
|
|
Go west and north and talk to the old man if you want, then back south
|
|
and east before you climb the stairs to the east(walk northeast.) Then
|
|
northeast and northwest and west. Before you go west you will want to
|
|
use the INVISIBILITY OINTMENT and also have the storm spell prepared.
|
|
Go west, hit F3, and the dragon will die. Go over to Rosella, UNTIE
|
|
ROSELLA, KISS ROSELLA(if you want), retrace your steps to where you
|
|
fell, W, N, N to enter the castle. You've won the game!
