PrinceWatercress plays King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride - Part 17 of 18


In this entry, we meet a weaver of dreams and help save the forest once and for all.






From there, play the harp like you did earlier and touch the orb to talk to the Fates. The Fates will tell you to meet with the lady of the spring, saying she will know what must be done. You'll then be waved away back to Etheria. It looks like you will have to save Lady Ceres, who is still a tree, and you've got some work to do to make that possible.

Take the lower-right rainbow to land back near the maiden statues from earlier.

If, for some reason, you take the upper-left one and head back to the jackalope holes and Eduardo's house, Eduardo will have closed shop due to the volcano and the jackalope will be crying. It appears word about the volcano has spread far and wide.

At the maiden statues, place the ambrosia into the horn of plenty held by the other statue. You will grow sacred fruit out of the horn, and if you click on the fruit, Valanice will take a pomegranate. Take the pomegranate back to Lord Attus. This time, Lord Attus will be playing his flute. If you click on him, Valanice will tell him about Lady Mab. Attus says it is possible that Lady Ceres can help thaw her out if she could only speak, and it is also evident that Attus has given up on reviving Lady Ceres. There is still hope, however: using the pomegranate on the flowing blood will turn the tree back into a woman. It's Lady Ceres!

Attus will embrace Ceres, then tell her that he must do what he must do to stop the volcano, while Ceres says she must do some work of her own to restore the forest. Attus disappears, then Lady Ceres thanks Valanice. Click on her, and she will go straight to work on restoring the forest. Click on her again, and Valanice will tell her about Lady Mab. Lady Ceres will tell you to find a crystal and fill it with pure sunlight to thaw Lady Mab out. Also, you will not be able to take physical objects with you if you go to the dream world while asleep, which means you will have to find a way to go there while awake. Sadly, she does not know how to get there while awake, and asks you to talk to the Fates again.

If you click on Lady Ceres, she will not be able to help you anymore as she will be busy restoring and defending the forest. Funny how Lady Ceres sounds like Valanice.

Before you head to Etheria, head to the maiden statues and take another pomegranate from the horn of plenty. Also, if you click on the River on Life, Valanice will dip her toe in. Clicking on it again will cause Valanice to try to swim in it in vain. YOU WILL DIE.

If you go back to where Lady Ceres was, she will no longer be there.

Head back to Etheria by playing the fife, then play the harp again and meet with the Fates. They will tell Valanice that she must cheat the fabric of reality and ride on the wings of a dream, and there is only one who can do such a thing: their nephew, the Dreamweaver. They will have you a dreamcatcher, and they will tell you that it sometimes pleases their nephew to surround himself with the darkest terrors of night.

From here, it's time to head up the path and return to where we found the ambrosia. Take the dreamcatcher from the inventory and use it on the cave entrance. Valanice will approach the cave with the dreamcatcher and trap the nightmare. You can now go into the cave.

Here, you can talk to the Dreamweaver. Click on him twice, and Valanice will ask for his help. He says he helps no one, for he is just the weaver of dreams. If you click on him a third time, he tells you to leave before he weave Valanice a nightmare that will turn her hair white. Use the dreamcatcher on the Dreamweaver, however, and he will speak to you. He tells you that he should have had a second nightmare on standby, but nightmares are solitary creatures who will destroy each other on sight. When Valanice tells him about what has happened to Lady Mab, however, the Dreamweaver changes his tune and gives you a Tapestry of Dreams that allows you to travel through the land of dreams while awake; however, Valanice will be vulnerable while she does. You can now leave. If you come back, another nightmare will come out and kill Valanice, so your business is done here.

If you click on the fabric the Dreamweaver sits on, you will be zapped by some sort of energy, although it will not harm you in any way.
