Dilandau3000 plays King's Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder! - Part 9 of 20


It's now time to trek into the dark forest? But what will we find there? Read on!



Head to the entrance to the Dark Forest...and go in.

Wow, is Cedric ever so useless.

The witch shows up on a random screen, but this time, we've got the amulet on. (You'd better have it on.) If the witch hits you with the magic spell that turns you into a frog, it will have no effect. She'll teleport away in surprise.

There will be a tree with a door in it, but you won't be able to open the door just yet. Don't fret. We'll find out how to open it soon enough. Oh, and you have to walk around the tree to the left to go left from that screen to the witch's house.

The witch's house is a far cry from what we saw from the first game. A gingerbread house, this is not. If the witch hasn't appeared yet, she will here. She'll hit you with the frog spell, but we've got the amulet equipped. So much for that.

If you talk to the witch, the voice acting gets somewhat better for some strange reason. Of course, Graham still has that smile on his face. Of course, you'll also find out that you'll have to leave in a different way than when you came in...so getting back to the fork in the road at the entrance to the forest is a moot point. The game won't even let you do this if that happens.

The witch will still stay put after you talk to her, blocking the path to her house. Thankfully, we have a way to get rid of her. Give the witch the brass bottle. Instead of the genie rubbing you out (pun somewhat intended), the genie will put the witch in the bottle, and both the bottle and the genie will disappear.

Enter the house. Use the hand on the small drawer just to the left of the entrance. You'll find a small leather pouch. Take it. Go to the inventory and use the hand icon on the pouch, you'll find out there are three sparkling emeralds inside.

Use the hand on the chest to the right of the entrance and Graham will find a small spinning wheel inside. Take it.

Use the hand on the incense burner hanging above the chest, as there is a tiny gold glint that appears from it. You'll get a key! You're done in here, so leave the house and go back to the tree with the door in it. Use the key on the door and you'll find the gold heart! Take it back to the weeping willow!

Well, we could, if we could get out of here. Go west of the witch's house. You'll see eyes spying on you. Hmmmm...
