dilandau3000 plays King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride - Part 4 of 31


Finally, we're talking to people in this game...and we're finally getting somewhere, too!


Go back to the desert and look for the traveler. Give him the fresh water, and he will take you to his remains. The dust devil will disappear, and you can get the treasure nearby: a hunting horn and a pouch. He also tells you that he was once known as the adventurer Colin Farwalker. He thanks you for giving him peace.

There are two things in the pouch: a can of bug reducing powder and a rope. However, you can take only one of the two items. The bug reducing powder can be used against the scorpion you met earlier, while the rope can be used for something a little later. You'll also be able to take the hunting horn if you get the bug reducing powder. Be sure to use it once to clean out all the sand clogging it, so you can use it in the future.

Go back to the temple with the scorpion. If you try to move past it, the scorpion will kill you. Either combine the piece of broken petticoat with the stick to make it a flag, then use the flag on the scorpion to distract it. However, if you take too long in this room, the scorpion will turn around and kill you. If you use the bug reducing powder, however, the scorpion will shrink and run away, and it won't be able to bother you again.

If you click on the face in the wall, Valanice will notice that one of the eyes on the face is able to open further.

If you move onto the altar near it, you'll be able to take a closer look at it. There is an upside-down water droplet shape in the center of the base, and if you click on it, it will turn around. Three gems will rise up, two from the sides and one from the base. The eye on the face you looked at earlier will open up, and a thin beam of light will shoot out onto one of the hands of the small statue in the center.

Placing the gems in the beam of light will make it change color. Take the yellow and blue gems and place them on the hands, then place the red one on the circular area to the right of the statue. The tile that the beam of light is shining on will lower, then rise back up with an arrow-shaped turquoise block. You now have a way of opening the portal out of the desert! Take it!

Head back to where you grew the ear of corn as you head to the portal door. You'll notice that one of the guards has suddenly split open in the sun. Click on it, and Valanice will not only notice this, but take one of the seeds in the gourd for future use.

Head back to the portal door and place the turquoise piece in there...only to notice that you need another piece. But how are you going to get something from the offering bowl?

Use the hunting horn on where the jackalope is hiding. This will scare the jackalope out of his wits and cause the glasses he stole to fall off his face. You'll also notice that the jackalope has gotten some of his fur stuck on the nearby cactus. Grab that along with the glasses.

If you got the rope, you can tie it to two cacti in the starting area on the path where you first met Rodrigo and the jackalope. From there, the jackalope will will run out and get caught on the rope. Not only will the glasses fall off the jackalope's face as he stumbles off, but the jackalope fur will be stuck on one of the cacti. Again, be sure to grab the fur and the glasses.

From there, knock on Rodrigo's door and hand him his glasses. From this point on, you can finally trade with him.

If you use the golden comb on Rodrigo, Valanice will ask Rodrigo if he has seen Rosella. Sadly, he hasn't, but he has heard that the troll king in a land to the west is planning to wed a foreign princess. To find out more, Valanice will have to go into the woods and then underground.

If you give Rodrigo the gourd seed, he will give you a turquoise bead. If you try to trade anything else, Rodrigo will try to trade something completely useless (which Valanice will automatically decline).
