Walkthrough for Land of the Mountain King by Kenneth Pedersen ------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: The difficulty level of this game is low, so for the best experience it is highly recommended that you try to win the game without looking at this walkthrough. First some general hints: 1. Seek out the weakest enemies first (note their HP at the bottom of the screen) 2. If you have been injured (HP not full), type REST to recover in one move. 3. Save your position whenever you have beaten an enemy. 4. This game is not perfectly linear, so the walkthrough below should just provide the easiest path through the game, resulting in 100 points. 5. An alternative challenge once you have completed the game: Try to complete the game with as few points as possible - this is not easy. ******************** START OF WALKTHROUGH ******************** / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / CHAPTER 1 - GETTING STARTED --------------------------- Since you have no weapons, go for the weakest enemy, the bat in the SW-corner of the map. type "kill bat" repeatedly until it is dead. Now go SW into the cave. Unfortunately there is no light in here. But notice the opening up on the east wall. / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / CHAPTER 2 - THE WOMAN'S COTTAGE ------------------------------- Now go to the woman's cottage a couple of locations east of the starting location. Sit down on the stool and the woman will tell you something. In addition she implies that you can ask her questions. ASK ABOUT DAMIAN to get some important information. You may also ask about the different creatures you have met and what else you can think of. / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / CHAPTER 3 - THE LIGHTHOUSE -------------------------- You may have got some tips from the woman to solve this puzzle. However, the opening you noticed on the east wall in the cave, may have been the only clue you need. Go into the lighthouse, then up the stairs. Now examine the lamp and you will find two buttons. try pushing them to see how they work. Okay, the idea is to make the lamp point westward. Push the left button until the lamp points westward. Now push the right button to turn it on, if you haven't already done so. Now the light from the lamp will shine through the opening in the cave, lighting up the cave. So go back to the cave and you will be able to see a dagger. Take the dagger. This is your only weapon, so EQUIP DAGGER. Now, when you attack somebody, you will automatically attack using the equipped weapon. / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / CHAPTER 4 - THE BEACH --------------------- Now go to the beach in the southeastern corner of the map. You better save your game before you continue. Now go out in the water by going south. A giant squid will appear. KILL SQUID (repeat until it dies. If you die, restore your saved position and try again) Once defeated, you will pick up the shield the squid was holding and automatically put in on. Note that your HP has increased due to the shield. / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / CHAPTER 5 - THE PLATFORM ------------------------ Now go to the NE-corner of the map. You need to examine the tree, before you can go up in the tree. So go up. Once on the platform you will meet a warrior. He wants you to fight him. save the game before you do so. now KILL WARRIOR (repeat until it dies. If you die, restore your saved position and try again) When defeated, the warrior will fall down. Now go down. You will automatically pick up the armor and wear it, which increases you HP further. / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / CHAPTER 6 - THE SWAMP --------------------- Now go to the swamp in the western part of the map. Save your position. There is a handle sticking up of the mud. Try taking it and a monster will appear. KILL monster (repeat until it dies. If you die, restore your saved position and try again) Once defeated, you can safely take the handle. It turns out to be a silver sword. EQUIP SWORD Wait around until your HP is replenished and save your position. / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / CHAPTER 7 - THE FOREST ---------------------- Now go north from the swamp to the forest. Wait until a werewolf appears. then KILL WEREWOLF (repeat until it dies. If you die, restore your saved position and try again) The wolf can only be killed by silver weapons, but since you equipped a silver sword, you should be fine. Once defeated, the dead werewolf will transform into a dead man. Examine him to find a necklace. / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / CHAPTER 8 - BACK AT THE COTTAGE ------------------------------- Now go back to the cottage and give the necklace to the woman. She will thank you and reward you with a spell, which increases your HP. / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / CHAPTER 9 - THE BRIDGE ---------------------- If you have followed this walkthrough step by step you are as prepared for your meeting with the ogre as you can be. So go to the bridge to the north. Save your game and make sure that your HP is maximum (otherwise REST). Now KILL OGRE (repeat until it dies. If you die, restore your saved position and try again) Once defeated, you can go north. / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / CHAPTER 10 - THE GARDEN ----------------------- You should now be in a garden. What is interesting here, are the berries. eat berries to replenish your HP (you could also wait, but this is faster) Now GET BERRIES and you will take a handful of berries and put them in your backpack. If you have full HP and a handful of berries in your inventory, save your position. / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / / / / SPOILER SPACE / / / CHAPTER 11 - FINAL BATTLE ------------------------- Now, go up the stairs (just type UP). Here you will meet the mountain king. When you feel ready, KILL KING. Repeat KILL KING until your HP is below 15. Then EAT BERRIES to replenish your HP. continue with KILL KING until the king is defeated. (if you die, restore a saved position and try again) ********************************* CONGRATULATIONS - YOU HAVE WON!!! ********************************* PS: If you followed the walkthrough, you should have 100 points. Another challenge is to complete the game with as few points as possible, which is actually quite difficult.
