Dilandau3000 plays King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow - Part 33 of 43


We had back to the Isle of the Mists and get some information necessary for a rather interesting side-quest...

All maps by Dan_.


Give Rotten Tomato to Bump-on-a-Log. He has arms and hands, and he'll throw Rotten Tomato at Stick-in-the-Mud. He'll respond by throwing swamp ooze at Bump-on-a-Log, and they'll exhaust themselves after throwing swamp ooze at each other...but not before Stick-in-the-Mud apologizes. Go ahead and use the teacup on the swamp ooze that's on Bump-on-a-Log.

Head back to the Isle of the Beast.


Head back to the fountain near the Beast's mansion and use the lamp on the water coming out of it. This will count as your Falling Water. Now get out the spellbook and cast the Make Rain spell. The hunter's lamp will perk up a bit. Now to heat this concoction to the boiling point.

When you're done, head back to the Isle of the Mists. Yeah, we're heading back there.


If you go to the Isle of the Mists a second time without dealing with the Druids, you'll be met by the Druids at the beach and you'll be put in the wooden cage like before. The difference here is that you've got the Make Rain spell activated. You'll also find out the guy with the leapord skin headdress and the wooden cane is the Archdruid.

If you have Beauty's old slave clothes, Alexander will beat out the flames. But without the Make Rain spell, you'll still die after the slave clothes will burn to cinders.

When you're about to die, the Make Rain spell will activate and extinguish the fire below the cage. The Archdruid will think you're a powerful nature wizard and free you.

The Archdruid will tell you the Druids have been inhospitable since the Winged Ones stole their sacred miniature oak tree. He'll tell you that humans have the right to challenge the Lord of the Dead to save their lives or that of another...but the knowledge was lost long ago. A young knight came to these lands long ago, to challenge the Lord of the Dead and save the soul of his dead lover. He did this by taming the Lord's steed...a black-winged demon-hearted horse named Nightingale, who flies to the human world to feed on certain bloods. The knight got on Nightmare's back and flew to the Land of the Dead, but he nor his lover ever returned. Even less is known about the Lord of the Dead. Some think he is Samhain, who was once a man. He angered the gods and was made King of the Underworld as his punishment. He is robbed of movement and companionship, and hates humans for the mortality that he lost. He then wishes you luck.
