User manual GAMES PC KING S QUEST V

[. . . ] The new version (a contemporary of King's Quest IV), allowed the use of icons rather than a text parser interface, and had updated graphics and sound to keep up with the games of that time. Synopsis: 2 The King of Daventry is nearing the end of his life. Tragically, he has no heir to carry on the royal line, and he worries that his kingdom will be left without a leader. Daventry is already a shadow of its former glory, as the three treasures of the realm have been lost to the ages. And so the king summons his bravest knight, Sir Graham, and sets him on this quest -- return all three of the lost treasures, and the throne will be his. [. . . ] When you pick up a new hand weapon, watch the stats for hand weapons to determine which one you want to keep. Keep the one that displays the highest number. To use a hand weapon, click on the hand weapon icon on the interface. Once the hand weapon is out and Connor is ready, the cursor will look like a sword. Each left-click will now make Connor swing in the direction you've clicked. If you click behind him, he will automatically turn around and swing. For hand weapons, Connor will need to be close enough to an object to hit it. Connor will always swing, but if he's not close enough, as in the real world, he'll just hit dead air. Pressing [DEL] switches between weapons. With hand weapons you can choose two kinds of attacks: the standard attack or the "big" swing. The standard attack is done with a simple left-click. 22 Armor During the course of game play, Connor will find various kinds of armor (gloves, boots, breastplates, etc. ). If you don't have that piece of armor, Connor will simply put it on and you'll see his armor stat increase. If he already has that piece of armor, then just like the weapons, you'll see it swap (for example: swap a leather breastplate for a bronze breastplate). When you obtain a new piece of armor, watch the armor stat to determine which one you want to keep. Keep the one that displays the highest number. If you are wearing a suit of armor and click on a single piece like gloves, Connor will remove the full suit to put on the single item. In almost all cases you'll want to keep a full suit over swapping for a single item. Just be careful and make sure you keep what gives you the highest armor stat. The Magic Map and Teleporting During the course of game play you will find a magic map. The magic map can be opened and closed by clicking on the map icon on the interface or pressing [TAB]. The magic map will track everywhere Connor goes. The forward and backward arrows under the map allow you to page through the maps of the various displayed worlds. [. . . ] There are also several side quests that you can choose to do if you like. Some of these may require going back to a previous land if you've missed an item. If there's any place that is not yet uncovered, go there. Try talking to some of the characters AGAIN. [. . . ]
