Is it the floor with the tiles in the catecombs in KQVI? if you walk on the wrong one, three daggers fly out and kill you.

Is it the floor with the tiles in the catecombs in KQVI? if you walk on the wrong one, three daggers fly out and kill you.

I have a feeling you're right.

[Boogeyman]

Thing is, there isn't anything of importance in the Spike Maze. I actually think that it could be the Tamir swamp, since it does have something of importance(magic fruit), and three ways to die(swamp water, poisonous snake, Gill Guy).

[racx_00]

How does "You will never see my last" fit into that though?

[Storm]

Sorry, no correct answers yet... though they're all very creative. I didn't even remember there were three daggers in the catacombs

[hercrabbiness]

I think I've got it! It's "The Cliffs of Logic," isn't it?

-You will never see my last (that being logic, because the puzzles are anything but logical!)
-I'll kill you thrice as you walk past (because you will die if you get any of the last three puzzles wrong)
-But within me lies the key / To your desired victory (pretty straight-forward, I think)

[Storm]

Nope, sorry

[hercrabbiness]

Drat. And I thought I was being so clever!

Dracula's Castle KQ2

*joins in publishing reasonings b/c it's fun!*

-You will never see my last (The place isn't destroyed after you leave: it's just there...)
-I'll kill you thrice as you walk past (...because the brambles, dracula, and the ghosts can kill you while you're just walking around... sort of.)
-But within me lies the key / To your desired victory (It's key number 3; so it's the key to victory!)

[Storm]

Drat. And I thought I was being so clever! 

You were! your solution was very clever, it just wasn't the right one

Ok, I'll give you a little hint... the solution of this riddle appears in more than one King's Quest game

[tessspoon]

The three-headed dragon? Dragons appear in numerous games.

[awesomeasapossum]

Is it the bridge in KQ2? Someone said that earlier and it makes sense.
You can only walk over it three times.
You never see it's last.
The "key" is on the other side of the bridge.

[tessspoon]

But its only in the second game, isn't it?

[Delling]

...but there are bridges in KQ1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 (granted there's only the one in 3 right at the very end there)

...that said however...

OO OO OO! It's Manannan! He has a tendency to kill you in both KQ3 and 5 especially as a cat in which case in 3 he kills you by tripping you as you walk past! We never see Manannan get it in the end... and within him lies the key to your desired victory because... because he has a knowledge of magic and it is that knowledge which is key to your victory in KQ3... the riddle afterall says nothing about the subject of the riddle offering up this key... ...

...that or a dragon... ya gotta have dragons

[tessspoon]

...but there are bridges in KQ1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 (granted there's only the one in 3 right at the very end there)

True enough, but you walk over it seven times, not three.

OO OO OO! It's Manannan! He has a tendency to kill you in both KQ3 and 5 especially as a cat in which case in 3 he kills you by tripping you as you walk past!

Even if that's not the right answer, I like that one!

[hercrabbiness]

Hmmm.... the desert? Or snakes? 

Eh, probably not. What's really throwing me off is that darned first line! I wish I knew what "my last" meant.

[Boogeyman]

The cat that trips you is NOT Mannanan.

[Storm]

The three-headed dragon? Dragons appear in numerous games.

Ahh, but not all of them kill you! and those which do - well, you definitely do see the last of them.

Maybe, but I already said it wasn't the right answer

Me too! unfortunately, it really isn't the right answer

Hmmm.... the desert?

Surprisingly, your semi-random guess is CORRECT!!!
"My last" means "my end", which you can never see because the desert is endless. The desert kills you three times if you try to get past it - in KQ3, 5 & 7, and in every desert there's something essential to your quest (the key to your victory).

So... Your turn

[hercrabbiness]

HUZZAH! Now, let's see if I can make one anywhere nearly as good 


I may be hard for you to see
But you will need a lot of me
Beware, the guard nearby you'll meet
May cause you to be swept off your feet

[tessspoon]

This is an off-the-wall guess, but I'm going to try speed, when you're riding the cart down to knock the troll off the bridge in KQ7.
It's hard to see; you need a lot of it; and the guard's nearby.
