PrinceWatercress plays King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride - Part 3 of 18


We've made some headway in this desert...now it's time to take the final steps and get out of here. I wonder what Rosella's up to...?



As mentioned earlier, use the hunting horn once to get the dirt out of it, so you can use it when you need it.

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).

To the east of the chapter's starting point is a temple, and inside is a scorpion. If you try to move past it, the scorpion will kill you. You can 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.

Interestingly, you can't use the flag and then the bug powder; you can only use one or the other. Use the powder first thing so the scorpion doesn't get to you.

Now that we have the turquoise bead, it is time to head back to the pool and drain the water again by moving the statue head so the sun rays come out and turning the bowl upside down. After that, go down the stairs and place the turquoise bead in the offering bowl. The statue will shake its head. Take the piece on the right, as the left one will not work. If you take the left one, put it back and take the one on the right. IF YOU TAKE BOTH, THE CHAMBER WILL RE-FLOOD AND YOU WILL DIE.

I now go back to the temple and use the bug reducing powder on the scorpion.

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!

Combine the two pieces of turquoise by placing one on the other, then take it to the portal door and place it in the arrow underneath the door. The door will sink into the sand. Go in, and you will encounter a giant lizard. This ends Champter 1.

Chapter Two: "A troll is as a troll does."

Chapter Two starts off elsewhere. As Rosella is pulled to the other side of the portal, she is suddenly transformed. The big green guy who pulled her through the portal is King Otar Fenris the Third, ruler of the Vulcanix underground, and for some reason, he knows Princess Rosella already.

Princess Rosella asks about the castle she saw, but King Otar tells her that the castle is a dull place and that she would not like it. King Otar then says "Gee...I wasn't expecting this," and when Rosella asks what "this" is, Otar tries to lie and say that he did not expecting Rosella to look so lovely before saying she will be the most radiant bride in all the world. Rosella, not liking the idea of a marriage, brushes Otar off only to bump into the mirror she has just been pulled out of and learn that she has been transformed into a troll. Otar escorts her to a nearby bedroom. Nearby, an older female troll is seen watching in the background.

Rosella will then be in a bedroom, complete with a footstool, a mirror and a bed.
