PrinceWatercress plays King's Quest II: Romancing The Throne (Apple II) - Part 6 of 7


It is now time to go for the third key...and it's the toughest one to get.



Despite what I say, the fairy that gives you the protective spell does return if your protective spell has run out.

We are still missing something. The first one is in the log near the lake near Hagatha's cave, but I didn't know you had to type LOOK IN LOG to actually look into it until now. By doing this, we are able to find the necklace. GET NECKLACE.

From here, head back to the bridge, cross the bridge and UNLOCK DOOR. READ INSCRIPTION. You will get a hint: "Whosoever chooses to seek the last key must have a stout heart." The only place left to go to is the castle in the center of the poison lake.

When you get to the southern coast of the lake, Charon will be on his boat waiting for you. Since you are wearing the cloak and the ring already, you'll be able to RIDE BOAT to the castle. (If you aren't, wear them now.) When you cross to the other side, LEAVE BOAT, then EAT SUGAR CUBE to protect yourself from instant death from the thorns. Walk the path to the door, then approach the door. The ghosts will float away when they see you are wearing the ring and cloak. Open the door and go in.


From the entrance, go west. There will be a spiral staircase. Thankfully, it is more than large enough to travel up without dying. When you reach the top, Go up to the dresser and OPEN DRAWER. You will find a candle. TAKE CANDLE, then CLOSE DRAWER. From here, go back down the stairs, then walk up to the candle on the upper-left corner and LIGHT CANDLE. Return to the entrance room.

From here, go east. Approach the ham on the table (which looks like a cake) and TAKE HAM, then go north. There will be another spiral staircase, as well as another torch to LIGHT CANDLE at, just in case. Hug the wall as you make it to the top. Walk up to the chest. You'll find out that it is locked and you do not have the key. Go back down the stairs (carefully), then go east in the dining room.

You'll have another staircase, and you'll need the candle lit in order to go further down here without dying. You'll eventually make it to the bottom, where you'll need a lit candle. Go west at ground level. You'll find a coffin. OPEN COFFIN. You'll find Dracula. KILL DRACULA. You'll kill Dracula and find a silver key. TAKE KEY, then TAKE CUSHION. You'll find a gold key underneath the cushion. TAKE KEY. Leave.

From here, go back to the chest past the north doorway of the dining room. This time, you'll be able to UNLOCK CHEST. OPEN CHEST. You'll find a tiara. TAKE TIARA, then go back down the stairs and leave the castle, get past the thorns and RIDE BOAT.

From here, there is nothing left to do but to go back to the bridge, cross for the seventh and final time and unlock the door.
