Dilandau3000 plays King's Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder! - Part 14 of 20


The adventure continues...but what lies beyond the throne of Queen Icebella?


You're done here. Approach Sir Greywolf (speak to him if you want), and he'll take you back to Queen Icebella's throne room. She keeps her word, and lets both you and Cedric go. She also knows who you are now, and wishes you luck in your quest to find the evil wizard Mordack. Sir Greywolf escorts you to the exit out of the mountains.

If you missed the crystal, you can go back to the cave and get it here. Since we got it in the last entry, however, we won't have to. The exit out of the mountains is to the south.

The next screen has an interesting top-down perspective. Keep to the ground, and don't move towards the cliff edge or the hole in the middle of the ground. Move towards the hole next to Cedric, and Graham will climb up to where Cedric is.

When you do that, though, you'll be picked up by a giant roc! The roc will take you up to his nest, which contains a giant egg!

There will be a glistening gold glow next to Graham. Use the hand on it to pick it up, and do this immediately. It's a locket! This might just come in handy.

You don't have much time, however, as the giant egg hatches almost as soon as you're dropped into the nest. If you didn't feed the eagle before meeting Queen Icebella, you're screwed. Thankfully, we did, and the eagle returns the favor by rescuing us from that two-headed baby roc! We also lose the cloak, as the roc gets its beaks on it as the eagle rescues us.


You'll be dropped off at a beach, and the eagle flies off. And how did Cedric get here if he said he was looking all over for us?

Anyway, use the hand on the iron bar to pick it up.

There is a boat to the north, but to the south is a half-buried ship that has been converted into a house. Ring the bell, and an old hermit will come out of the house. When Graham speaks to him, however, the hermit can't hear him. If you ring the bell again, you'll find out he's almost completely deaf.

Go to the boat. IF YOU USE IT RIGHT AWAY, YOU WILL DROWN DUE TO A HOLE IN THE BOAT AND YOU WILL DIE. Instead, use the beeswax to plug up the hole. Now you can get in.
