Introduction (KQ2 Hintbook)

Introduction Welcome to the Kingdom of Daventry and King's Quest II! I hope yo~ ar~ having as much fun playing this game as all of us had creating It. There are many different ways to play King's Quest II. If you have a problem that I  haven't mentioned here feel free to contact Sierra at (209) 683-6858. ' The whole point of playing King's Quest II is to discover its puzzles and then solve them. However, this might be the first adventure game you've ever played, or, the puzzles may be so well hidden (or so obtuse) that you don't even know where to begIn. Hence, this hint book. How to use a hint book When you get stumped, look through here for the question that is closest to your problem. Color the first box by drawing a single lIne With your marker. Hints progress from mildly helpful to "ok-here's-the-answer." It's best· to read each answer in seq~ence, u~ess a hint instructs you otherwise. I give the more obVIOUS solution to each puzzle; higher scoring alternatives are at the end of this book. How NOT to use a hint book Be sure to read only those hints you really need. Do not indiscriminately scan through the book reading hint after hint. Read only those hints pertaining to your problem. Don't think that every question in here is real: along with the legitimate questions, I've thrown in some fakes. Just because a hint mentions a goat, doesn't mean that goats are important in this game, or even exist in this game. H you've fmished King's Quest 11 Even after you've "won" the game, I'm sure we can interest you in playing again. If your score is less than the maximum, start again from the very beginning and try to fInd another solution to each of the major puzzles. To help you along, I've included a section at the very end of this book called "After the End of the Game." But, be very cautious using that section, it will ruin the game if you see it too soon! If you enjoy this game, you're sure to like the other animated adventure games from Sierra: the original King's Quest and The Black Cauldron. After fInishing them, be sure to "stay tuned" for King's Quest III, "coming soon to a computer near you." Good luck in your adventuring and here's hoping you enjoy King's Quest II! AI Lowe
