Dilandau3000 plays King's Quest 1: Quest For The Crown - Part 9 of 12

Just when you thought this was all there was to the game...



Go back to either the wildflower field or the place where you found the bowl and plant the magic beans. A beanstalk will crawl out of the ground. Climb the beanstalk, and be careful not to fall off! Keep your hands on the stalk at all times and save often. You'll be doing this for two screens, but it's the hardest two screens you'll probably be dealing with in the entire game.

When you make it to the top, you'll climb off of the beanstalk automatically. You can still fall off the north end of this cloud, so be sure to save once you get here.

Three screens to the east and you'll meet a giant. If you take too long, the giant will jump on you and squish you into the ground. You can either kill him or put him to sleep. Put him to sleep, since it gives you more points.

If you go south of the second screen east after the beanstalk, go south, then go two screens further east, you'll find a tree with a hole in it. Look in the hole and you'll find a slingshot. Take the slingshot.

You could go one screen north and one screen back west to deal with the giant using the slingshot, but that obviously doesn't give you the most points. Instead, you'll have to come in from the west and hide behind the tree on the east side of the screen with the giant, and make it so that he falls asleep before he catches you. If you need help with that, put the ring on and rub it. You'll turn invisible. Since you're invisible, the giant won't be able to see you, and you'll be able to stand there long enough to have the poor guy wear himself out. When he does that, he'll get in front of a tree and lie on it. Regardless of how you deal with him, he'll drop a treasure chest when he goes down. Go up to it and take it.
