Hey, the woodcutter's wife is so thin and weak from starvation that she can't even sit up or speak, but the woodcutter himself is perfectly ambulatory and sensible?

Play the fiddle for the name-guessing elf? (This is all kinds of awesome. It's been decades since I played KQ1 and I NEVER played the updated version.) |

Hurl yourself down the well. Maybe there's goodies, like an untimely death?

All's WELL that ends WELL
With all the shouting going on in his head it's hard for Graham to think sometimes... But he's pretty sure at least more than one of the voices told him to go to the well and so he heads over:

Sir Graham gets a little distracted by the chest and stays under water a little too long... I mean, no such thing happened and Graham quickly moved through the water and moves into the next screen: ] There's one of the kingdom's treasures! And all that's preventing us from getting our hands on it is that giant pesky dragon... maybe he's a pacifist? Guess not... DEATH COUNT: 7 Last edited by Loki; 05-03-2018 at 09:24 AM. |

All's WELL that ends WELL Part. 2
Sir Graham rethinks his approach giant fire breathing lizard probably aren't pacifists... What to do, What to do? Well he is lugging around this giant bucket of water, and it's getting heavy. Give it to the dragon? (this is adventure game logic)
"What?!" How is that dragon unable to defend itself?! It's got weight, size, fangs, and claws all on its side. Not to mention armored scales! Nope, none of that matters! Well, the monster is gone and that is what counts! Time to loot! Graham grabs the mirror and looks into its depths, hoping to catch a glimpse of his future: Well, that wasn't very helpful... Time to blow this joint: Oh, so that's where that cave went to. Sir Graham decides to follow through on a couple of the other voices requests before he stands around and waits for them to tell him what to do again. Kill the dwarf that haunts his dreams: I don't know guys... I guess the geniuses art Sierra didn't think someone might try and knife the damned little guy Kill the Ogre (that also haunts his dreams): Play the fiddle for the spinning gnome: Guess he doesn't appreciate the fine arts? What about that Elf we saw earlier? Maybe we can kill him? The one ring to rule them all is nice, but it's not as satisfying as killing him... What next voices? Play the gnome game? Wander around? Wake up and realize this was all a dream and try something else? Last edited by Loki; 05-03-2018 at 09:35 AM. |

you mean his dinky knife? But Graham doesn't believe in violence!
That witch was an accident and he can't be held accountable for what wild animals do! Stop it! Sir Graham loves all creatures! |

Don't forget the cloud of vaporized boiling water! I've never heard steam described as "harmless" since, well, the first time I gave myself sunburn-level injuries messing around with the stove....

I'm with Eddie here. Time paradox things for a bit and show us what'd happen if you tried to kill a huge dragon with your puny knife instead of taking the pacifist cartoon approach.
Simon would do it. If he didn't have the axe or cross. |

How it Could have happened (if I didn't want a perfect score)
Of course Bizarro world Sir Graham is a murderous fiend, who oddly enough never steals other people's property or walks around taking everything not nailed down... This is how he handled the bizarro dragon to get the bizarro magic mirror
BIZARRO! (if you look carefully you can see the dagger about to enter the dragon's neck) Take that bizarrro dragon! Now to retrieve his knife: or not... Well, the dead dragon won't be moving that rock aside, looks like Bizarro Graham leaves the way he came in: And that's how it could of happened (and did in bizarro world.)

I find it hilarious that a huge dragon like that can be taken down with a puny dagger. Bizarro Graham's certainly better at using throwing knives than the Belmonts are. Even if he doesn't get as many points for killing.

Sauron's ring will surely come in handy when trying to evade nasty beasties that want to have Graham feasties. I wonder just how far its power extends... Oh, and incidentally, steam can actually do quite a bit of damage. Large quantities of superheated pretty-much-anything sports a much larger contact area when in vapor/gas form. If anything, a steam-breathing dragon would be far more dangerous than a fire-breathing one. Last edited by Sky Render; 11-16-2010 at 04:31 PM. |

Unless otherwise directed Sir Graham will be harassing that gnome on the island in the next episode.
Adventures of Bizarro Graham might also be shared |

Harass the gnome. Harass all the gnomes.
So if you chuck your knife at the dragon, is that one of those Sierra-type innocentlyscrewyououtofvictoryforever things? Or is that actually a legitimate way of getting past? |
#83

Its completely legit, you just don't get as many points. You don't need the knife for anything else and you can simply backtrrack to get out of the well/cave.

I already tried that Eddie (please see below) the game says the ogre's skin is too tough and they ignore any such command in regards to the dwarf... I haven't run into the Sorcerer yet but when I do I'll give it a try...

Playing with Gnomes
Dutifully following orders Graham makes his way to the only gnome he can think of and attempts to kill him (the voices they demand it!)
Quote:
Do we need a reason to kill filthy non-humans?! Oh, he has something to say: Oh, that's right last time we were here he wen't blathering on about something? Well, this can't be too hard I mean he's a gnome and he has a spinning wheel with a pile of straw and a pile of gold in front of it... and Graham's mom wasn't neglectful and made to fill his head with all sorts of nonsense when he was a child: "BwaaahhhaaTTT?" How can it not be Rumplestiltkin? Wait a minute what was the thing that note said? Ah, yes Roberta Williams surely little boys will connect this random note found in the witch's house with this gnome and act accordingly... No, no they won't. Quote:
Sweet! I got some beans! I know just what to do with them! Thanks Mom! Maybe I can stop hating you for naming Graham... maybe. pushy little bastard What do these beans look like? Not much it turns out. Now that the gnome is gone Graham can swipe all that gold: Okay, what about that wheel? Crap... Well nothing to do here then... Graham then spends far too much time looking for a place to plant these beans (Jack being a hero of his, he knows just what to do with them) except, he can't seem to find the right spot: I'm sure he'll figure it out eventually. MECHANICS TALK: So, that name guessing thing I just did? Probably the hardest puzzle in the game. Because I guessed Rumplestiltskin the first time, we won't be getting a perfect score (lame I know.) There is nothing in the game world to help the player connect the note to the gnome, so it's helpfulness is dubious at best. In the original version though it was even more difficult! You got the same note but the gnome's name wasn't Nikstiltselpmur it was Ifnokvhgroghprm (this name works in the remake too, but no one ever guessed that name without calling Sierra's Hint-Line.) Can you guess where that name comes from? If so then you're as bad a puzzle designer as Roberta Williams is! Congratulations! Those capitalized first letters are important too if you type in 'nikstiltselpmur' you'll lose a guess! I grew up thinking you couldn't guess the guy's name thinking the bizarro way of getting the chest was the only way (you'll see in a minute.) The problem being the bizarro way of getting the chest really, really sucks (again you'll see why soon enough.) Last edited by Loki; 05-03-2018 at 10:28 AM. |

Not nearly as cool as Jack
Eventually Graham finds a location to plant the beans:
Quote:
Thank goodness for the mouse! Climbing this beanstalk is a terrible ordeal wherein you guess where the climbable route is and hope you can successfully navigate it using the arrow keys. With the mouse you just click a little in front of Graham and he successfully navigates the stalk... unlike using the keyboards where you would often be moving a pixel at a time and had to tap each key twice, once to get Graham moving and another to stop him... Oh, man the time spent and the loss of life this damn stalk has taken... If you did manage to miss: Successfully navigating the stalk though results in this: Looks like I missed a screen somewhere... From the shot above I went east and then south and ended up here: In the next post: Graham continues exploring the land of clouds. DEATH COUNT: 8 Last edited by Loki; 05-03-2018 at 10:48 AM. |

Yeah, I thought the bizarro way was the only way as well.
