Introduction
I sincerely welcome you to King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella. King's Quest IV continues the story of the King Graham family who live in the Kingdom of Daventry. In this particular saga, Princess Rosella, King Graham's daughter, is thrust into a desperate attempt to save her father's life by obtaining a magic fruit which grows in a  strange land far from Daventry. It is not necessary to have solved King's Quest I, King's Quest II, King's Quest III, to be able to play or enjoy King's Quest IV. So put on your adventurer's hat and travel along with Rosella as she follows her heart, develops her courage, makes friends, and outwits her foes! King's Quest IV is a timed game with a full day and night cycle. Rosella has 24 hours to complete her quest in the land of Tamir, but you have only six hours. Therefore, be very observant, and save your game often. Once you've got the hang of the game, you'll discover that the six hours of playtime is more than adequate. To play an adventure game is to enter a world of fantasy where you are the main character. You will be Rosella. You will guide her. You will think for her. Unfortunately if you are not careful, you will die with her. As Rosella, throughout your quest, you will encounter obstacles and puzzles designed to thwart you. Many times you may feel that all you need is a little hint in the right direction to get going again. Other times a puzzle may have you so confounded that you require the answer! Hopefully, if you ' re stumped, this hint book will put you back on track again.
