This is it! The final chapter of King's Quest VII!
Chapter Six: "Ready, set...BOOM!"
When we last left Rosella, we made your way to the volcano, where the real King Otar met the fake one. When this happened, the two of them got into a fight.
At the start of the chapter, the real King Otar will tell you to change the fake one back to his rightful form. Take the staff from the inventory, look at it with the eye, and click on the button at the bottom so that the "T" on the jewel of the scepter changes to a "F." Then, use the scepter on the fake King Otar, who is the one who gets thrown into the wall. This will change him into his true form, and it is none other than...Edgar from King's Quest IV? What?!?
By the way, if you use the scepter on the true King Otar, he will be changed back into a scarab. From there, Malicia will show up and zap Rosella. YOU WILL DIE.
After Rosella's strange reunion with Edgar, Malicia tries to zap Rosella, but King Otar blocks it with his body and whisks Edgar out of the room. After saying that she hopes Rosella likes hot weather, she teleports Rosella out of the room with her magic, and Rosella is teleported near the bottom of the volcano. Meanwhile, someone will be riding on Necromancer to where Valanice is, telling her to get one as they must hurry. Strangely, he is dressed just like Edgar, except with a black hood. They fly to the volcano. Meanwhile, the lava is rising inside of the volcano. Meanwhile, Oberon, Titania and Lady Mab create a spider web to block the lava should the volcano explode..
If you click on the lava below, Rosella will sway back and forth, and if you click on it again, YOU WILL DIE. Also, if you take too much time completing the chapter or stand around for too long, the volcano explodes and YOU WILL DIE. (This is removed in Version 2.0.)
Click on the wall. Rosella will make a small hole somewhere. Use the shovel on that part of the wall of the volcano to get out of here. Just grab the shovel from the inventory and place it to the right of Rosella where the shovel cursor turns white. Rosella will dig her way out, and she will end up on the path leading to the volcano control room again.
Meanwhile, at Ooga Booga, the mystery rider, Necromancer and Valanice will return to the exit from the Vulcanix Underground, and the mystery rider will blast it back open.
Head to the left when you return to the path leading to the control room. Before you head to the door, there will be a flower hanging off the wall, assuming you did not get the one underneath the man-eating Venus flytraps outside of Ooga Booga. Dislodge the rock on the wall underneath the window with the shovel, then click on the rock to get the flower. (If you got the other flower underneath the plants, this one will not be here.) Take this fragrant flower before you go into the control room; you WILL need it.
To open the control room, click on the left eye, the right eye and the nose to hit the switches in order. The door will then open. King Otar will still be unconscious, and you will need the fragrant flower to awaken him. Before you do that, however, there is something you need to do, and you must do it or else YOU WILL DIE LATER. Take the Mysterious Device from the inventory and place it into what looks like an electrical socket above King Otar. The Mysterious Device will charge up energy, which you will want it to do. When the ball of energy around it stops growing, you can take the Mysterious Device out of the socket, but you can still wake up King Otar before pulling it out. Don't do that; the Mysterious Device must fully charge before you can use it.
Use the Fragrant Flower on King Otar. He will wake up, then head to the control panel and stop the eruption. The lava will get blocked by the spider web created by Oberon, Titania and Lady Mab, and King Otar and Rosella will erupt in a fit of laughter. Suddenly, Valanice will show up with the mystery rider, who is, of course, Edgar. (Of course it was him; you could tell by his clothes. Whaddya mean, "suspension of disbelief?")
The mother and child reunion does not last, however, as Malicia shows up again. Malicia gets irritated at Edgar, who tries to protect Rosella. After a brief fight in which Malicia and Edgar zap each other with magic, Malicia manages to fatally wound him before preparing to zap Rosella.
If you do not have the Mysterious Device charged up fully (or at all), YOU WILL DIE. SHOULD YOU DIE, YOU WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO BEFORE YOU WOKE KING OTAR UP. If you have the Mysterious Device charged back up but not back in your inventory, click on it first, then click on Malicia. If you have it charged up and in your inventory, pull it out of the inventory and use it on Malicia. The energy from the Mysterious Device will change Malicia into a baby. Malicia will trouble Eldritch and Etheria no longer! Malicia's dog Cuddles will then show up, and you can zap Cuddles with the Mysterious Device to turn Cuddles into a puppy, who then runs away.
After that, everything will be right as rain...almost. Edgar is still laying there lifeless. Use the Extra Life you got from the black cat in Ooga Booga to revive him. You just completed the game!
After Edgar is revived, Oberon and Titania show up, happy to be reunited with Edgar. Oberon thanks Valanice for reuniting him and Titania with Edgar, who happens to be their son. Edgar explains that he was stolen as a baby by an evil fairy named Lolotte, who was the main antagonist of King's Quest IV, and how his body and mind were twisted by her magic. He also talks about Rosella saved him from Lolotte, but after he returned home to Etheria, he disappeared again on the night his parents threw a ball to celebrate his safe return. Oberon and Titania looked for Edgar immediately, and did not know until now that it was all part of Malicia's evil plot. We also learn that Malicia - before being turned into a baby - was Titania's sister, and that something went wrong with Malicia.
Edgar tells Rosella it was him who lured her into Eldritch and basically kidnapped her while he was not in his right mind, but Rosella shrugs it off and asks him to show her the sights of Etheria, as she came here with the castle in mind. We then see a video cutscene with Oberon and Titania's white swan chariot heading back to Etheria. Edgar and Rosella share a moment alone on a balcony, and Edgar tells Rosella that he had her in his heart since they first met. He asks for the honor of courting her, and Rosella says yes. As they kiss, fireworks go off all over Etheria as Edgar and Rosella ride the white swan chariot into the horizon while Oberon and Titania watch.
