PrinceWatercress plays King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride - Part 12 of 18


It's time to save King Otar, but once we do that, we have to get out of Ooga Booga.



Leave Dr. Cadaver's office and head to the kids' house. They will be singing a rhyme: "Whene'er the branch shaped like a snake / is pointed up, for goodness sake / run away! Go and hide! / The Boogeyman will be inside! / Whene'er the branch is pointing down / The Boogeyman has gone to town." This explains that if the branch near The Boogeyman's house is up, The Boogeyman will be inside. (This is how the game expects you to learn about this.) As they repeat it, they will be tossing a rat back and forth. Click on them, and Rosella will talk to them. She will mention the rat, but the kids will not part with the rat. Take the weird pet out of the inventory and click on the kids again, and Rosella will mention the weird pet. The pet will stick its green, pointy-nosed head out of the box once, and the kids will love what they see. They will lower the elevator and tell you to come up with it, laughing to themselves as they do. Put the box on the elevator. IF YOU STEP ON THE ELEVATOR YOURSELF, YOU WILL DIE. As they play with the pet, they will ditch the rat, whom Rosella will take and kiss. It's Iggy!

From here, head back to the grave digger and give him the rat. Thankfully, he will be north of where the kids live. The grave digger will give you a horn, and if you blow it, the grave digger will dig a grave with the grave digging machine that he and Iggy will fire up. If you leave and go back to where you met the gravedigger, the gravedigger will be gone and there will be a shovel near the grave he was digging. Grab it; you'll need it.

Head back to the kids' house. They will be holding a funeral for a pet in a box. Unfortunately, it is a mock funeral, as the cat is still alive and meowing. The kids will then run away and look for a shovel. Click on the box to free the cat only to find out that the kids sealed it up. This is where the hammer and chisel comes in handy. Use it on the box, and the cat will leap out. It's the black cat that we've seen a few times! The cat will tell you that King Otar is buried in The Boogeyman's home beneath the deadfall, and give you an extra life in return for saving them.

Head to the Boogeyman's house. Check the branch of the tree. If it's down, use the horn by clicking on it in the inventory and then clicking on Rosella. IF YOU USE THE HORN WHILE THE BRANCH IS UP, YOU WILL AWAKEN THE BOOGEYMAN AND YOU WILL DIE. The grave digger will show up in the machine and dig out the deadfall after Rosella hands the horn back, then leave after advising you not to go into the pit that you have just uncovered.

Go down the pit, and you will find a coffin locked with a combination lock and chains. Click on the lock to get a closer look. Click on the skull, the bat and the spider, in that order. This will open the lock, and Rosella will free the real King Otar. Suddenly, Malicia will show up and lock Rosella in the coffin with King Otar. The deadfall will also pull itself back together as well.

King Otar will light up the inside of the coffin as Rosella explains herself. Suddenly, there will be a knocking on the coffin, meaning that you don't have much time to get out of here...

First of all, if you take too long to escape the coffin where King Otar is being held, THE UNDEAD WILL FIND YOU AND YOU WILL DIE.

Pull the Dragon Toad out of the inventory and hand it to King Otar. The Dragon Toad will be able to dig the both of you out, but the jewel needed to bring the Dragon Toad to live is set in his armband. Take the hammer and chisel out of the inventory and use it on King Otar, and King Otar will bring the Dragon Toad to life. Both of you will now be able to get out of the coffin.

You will both be back in the cemetery. King Otar tells the Dragon Toad to head back to Matilda and tell her to stall Malicia for as long as possible if she shows up in the Vulcanix Underground. He then says that he and Rosella must disguise themselves, or else the consequences will be dire. He then gives Rosella a wand and tells her to point it at him. The wand then zaps King Otar into what looks like a bug that allows him to travel safely with Rosella. That helps King Otar hide, but what about Rosella?

Malicia is then heard screaming nearby, and a cloak shows up on a headstone. Put the hammer and chisel back in the inventory, then click on the cloak. Use it on Rosella to disguise her as Lady Tsepish. If you do not do this fast enough, MALICIA WILL FIND YOU AND YOU WILL DIE.

If the Boogeyman pops up, he will ask if you've decided to leave Lord Tsepish behind and run away with him, as he thinks you are Lady Tsepish. Rosella refuses him as she pretends to be Lady Tsepish, then Boogeyman jumps up and leaves.

If you look at the magic wand with the eye, you can find a "T" on the top of it if you rotate it. If you move the cursor around, you will find a button at the bottom. If you click on it, the "T" will turn into an "F." You can press the button to change the "F" back as a "T." Also, the scarab is King Otar in a more portable form.
