Troll on KQ4

[uselessidguy331]

Any more hints?

[uselessidguy331]

Ah...I got past it, but my game is ruined, as I misdug one grave, and the shovel broke before I was done with the five ghost missions. So sad.

   I remember the music freaked me out when the troll would come after me.  It was well done because I felt very disturbed by it.

[Oldbushie]

Yeah, same here. Especially since you never get to see exactly what it looks like, it is like a fear of the unknown.

[dew7]

  How true!  I wonder how King's Quest IX will compare?  Will it have a troll?  

[Oldbushie]

Cesar is the troll.  

Kiiidding, though there might well be all variety of monsters. I haven't read much of the script yet so I can't say for sure.

Not that I ever would of course.

Yeah, I just replayed KQ4 myself in the past 3 hours. I noticed that too.

It is a little tricky getting back though, I agree. I basically went to the bottom of the screen after going south from the swamp entrance and slowly edged left until I saw a vague outline. And I actually got through the cave much faster this time, I was surprised! I remember one time I gave up cuz I spent 50 tries trying to get through.

The trickiest part in KQ3 was probably getting the treasure, I keep forgetting whether I was successful or not in getting it. Anybody know the surefire way to get the treasure? ...thoguh I think what I missed sometimes was hearing the rumor of treasure from the rats, I think if you don't hear that then you can't dig for the treasure and find it.

[Oldbushie]

Ah, the sad ending... I tried that too. I think you can also get to it by not getting the fruit in the firstplace

Yeah, but at least this way you can just reload to see the good ending. Plus the message you get from eating the fruit is interesting.

   I never saw the sad ending myself.  Maybe I will reinstall KQIV and play it through to refresh my memory and see the sad ending.  Thanks for the information about the sad ending.
