Dilandau3000 plays King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow - Part 18 of 43


Well, since there's nothing else to do, the only thing that's possible now is the Isle of the Sacred Mountain, which we have yet to see.

All maps by Dan_.


There is something etched into the rock wall. If you look at it with the eye icon, it will say:

IGNORANCE
KILLS
WISDOM
ELEVATES

According to the Guidebook, only those pure of heart will be able to RISE the cliffs of logic." Switch to the hand icon (which you'll need to use to solve all these riddles). Click the "R" in "ignorance," the "I" in "kills," the "S" in "wisdom" and the "E" in "elevates." It does not matter which "E" you click on. This will open up some small stone steps leading up the wall. Be careful when you walk on them, as it is very, very possible to fall off of them and die.

The path ends one screen up, and there is another etching in the stone.

"A master of languages will ____"

There are a bunch of symbols you need to click on before you can continue. A symbol for each letter, it appears. According to the Guidebook, the Ancient Ones were fond of saying that "a master of languages will soar." The symbols are indeed their alphabet.

The first thing to click on is the third symbol in the third row. This is the letter S. The one to the right of that is the letter O. Then, click on the third symbol in the fifth row. This is the letter A. The rightmost symbol on that row is the letter R.

When you go up, the stone steps stop at yet another etching. It consists solely of four circles. These are the Stones of Stealth, and this is the only clue the Guidebook gives you:

"Four men standing in a row,
Third from the left and down you go,
The rest, in order, move you on,
The Youngest, the Oldest, and the Second Son."

If you click on the third circle, the step will disappear and you'll die. Click on the fourth, then the first, then the second.

There will be another puzzle when you go up: "the sacred four." They are the emotion "tranqulity," the color "azure," the creature "catepillar," and the element "air." Of course, four letters of the Ancient One's alphabet all represent these things. Here is what you need to click on:

1. The second-to-bottommost symbol, which is D and represents tranquility. It looks like the top of a castle spire.
2. The fourth symbol on the third row, which is the letter O. This represents the color azure.
3. The fifth symbol on the fourth row (the letter Q). This represents the caterpillar.
4. The sixth symbol on the fourth row (the letter G). This is to the right of the third symbol and represents air.

There is one more riddle when you go up.

"ALL SILENT
CRY THE
NOBLE
BOULDERS"

According to the Guidebook, "Only those of the highest order may ASCEND the cliffs of logic."

Click on the "A" in "all," the "S" in silent" the "C" in "cry," the "E" in "the," the "N" in "noble" and the "D" in "boulders."

When you reach the top, you'll meet a man in a purple and black robe. He'll want you to eat the berries on the nightshade bush so you can fly like the Winged Ones. (Nightshade? Seriously? That stuff killed us in the third game. Come on.) If you do that, you'll die, as the man in the robe has gold eyes. Yep, it's Shamir.
