dilandau3000 plays King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride - Part 20 of 31


In this entry, the territory covered by both Rosella and Valanice begin to converge, and Rosella begins to make her way to Falderal on the way to the volcano.


When in Malicia's house, time is of the essence. Malicia is sure to return, and if she does, YOU WILL DIE. Also, if you leave through the front door, it is pretty obvious YOU WILL DIE THAT WAY, TOO.

If you click on anything in the lower-right corner, King Otar will tell you that when Malicia took the device away from him, he reluctantly told her that the device was able to turn lead into gold when she asked what it was.

If you click on anything at the mirror in the upper-left, Rosella will make fun of Malicia's make-up and ask where she keeps the trowel.

If you click on the dresser drawers, Rosella will rummage through them. The third one from the bottom will contain lingerie, and if you keep clicking there, you will find the device that King Otar is talking about. He will tell you that the device must be plugged into a socket in the volcano control in the underground so it may regain its power, and that is useless until then. When fully charged, it can stop any living threat to Etheria, but he is not sure exactly how it works and will not know unless we somehow survive long enough to make it there.

Be sure to put back the clothing that Rosella threw down on the floor while searching for the device. Rosella will put everything back in the drawer, but a woolen stocking will fall out as she does. Click on the stocking, and Rosella will take it, thinking it will be as useful as it is ugly.

That is all, so go back to the floorboard with the hole in it and click when you see the "down" arrow. When you return to the back of the house, click on the cloak to put it back on. From here, go east to the wood of the were-folk. 

From here, grab the silver pellet from the inventory and combine it with the woolen stocking to turn it into a sling. IF YOU USE THE SILVER PELLET ON ITS OWN, YOU WILL DIE. From there, go forward and grab the sling from the inventory as you move. When the were-beast shows up, use the sling and you will be able to scare the were-beast away. Rosella will then run to the right to the forest, and as that is going on, one of the were-folk snatches her cloak away. Thankfully, you won't be needing the cloak anymore.


Now you are in territory that you've covered as Valanice. Sadly, you won't be able to talk to Lord Attus (he won't be anywhere), and if you try to walk into the mud of the dried-up river, Rosella won't do it, so you won't be able to die that way.

You can head to the desert and get more dialogue by trading with Rodrigo, but you won't be able to trade anything with him.

Head to Falderal. The guard won't let you in unless you bring the Levitating Albino Warthog of Rigatonia. Rosella simply laughs the guard off. You can then go through the red door on the right, much to the guard's warning that there is a pit of snakes inside. When you go inside, Rosella will meet Archude Fifi le Yip Yap, who is currently chasing his own tail. He will tell you that Valanice was here and was arrested, but the people of Falderal like her just fine now. After telling Rosella to take the faux shop with a grain of salt, the Archduke catches his own tail and bites it before heading back into the town hall. (Apparently, Chapter 4 seems to take place after the events of Chapter 5.)

If you enter the china shop, you can talk to Ferdinand. He does not know where the entrance to the Vulcanix Underground is, but he does say that the town hall conceals many secrets. If you click on him again, he will tell you about Valanice, he will tell you that she was looking for Rosella and that while she was well, she was desperate to find her. He will also tell you that the realm of Eldritch draws in mortals like bees to honey when Rosella apologizes for hurting her mother, and that her mother will understand. If you click on Ferdinand a third time, King Otar will tell you to stop wasting time. You'll also get some dialogue if you click on Treasure or the china plates below Treasure.

You can talk to the mockingbird and get insulted, but the snake oil salesman is absent.
