Hmm, I know which one will be #1 under the most hated, even though I've never played it (The Cliffs of Logic-KQ6), but what are your favorites? I always liked turning the salt water into fresh water one in KQ7 (Desert-Ch. 1) and the labrynth in KQ5. They were pretty cool.
The cliffs were easy! With the necessary guide, of course. ;) Now, the KQ1 beanstalk, *that* was hard. :P
My favorite puzzle... hmm... KQ5, hitting the Yeti with a pie. Priceless. ;D
KQ ad:
Buying the pie: One silver.
Stopping the wolves from killing you: The cost of one harp.
Hitting the Yeti with the pie: Priceless.
;D
Yeah I forgot that...it's classic. I think I'm gonna play that again just to relive it, heh.
The saltwater to freshwater from KQ7 was pretty cool. I think my favourite was using the "Drink Me" potion to fool the genie in KQ6. In KQ5, I liked the save rat from cat, ants from dog and bees from bear puzzles. ;D

The cat & rat puzzle was irritating! :o
You had to get it right the first time aroud or you lose game and won't even know it, AND it was timed so you only had a few seconds to aim and shoot a moving target... obviously *I* had to restore. Several times :P
Bees from bear and ants from dog were pretty easy, though. Speaking of KQ5, I can't get out of the dark forest. Can someone tell me (on this forum or PM) how to get out of it from the "misshapen tree"
KQ6: The catacombs and the Land of Dead
(yeah, I'm a darky ;)
Heh. Dark or not, I'm with ya, Cesar... talking to the Lord of the Dead is easily one of the best adventure game moments I've come across.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Definitely, it's a very touching scene. :D
I was stuck in the gate puzzle for MONTHS and MONTHS.
I think that was the puzzle that kept me from finishing KQ6 for around 6 months or so.
The thing is that I tried "love" (It was the first thing I tried since it was so obvious), but for some reason, it didn't work the first time and I told myself, oh well, that's not it. Never tried it again until months later, and I was like "way to go..."
Yeah, Lord of the Dead was definetely one of my fav scenes from KQ6. Very up my alley. Very KQ9ish too ;)
I actually thought the Love thing was somewhat obvious. I remembered it from the message in the black widow's web and I figured the answer would be something opposite to what you see in the Land of the Dead. After all, it wouldn't be much of a security gate if any ghoul could guess it. :P
I thought the trying to makng the Lord of the Dead cry puzzle was a bit tougher, IMO. ::)
I couldn't find how to get the note out of that web until AFTER I solved that riddle by myself :P
I thought the "making the Lord of the Dead cry" puzzle was pretty obvious as well ::)
yeah, that both of the puzzle were obvious, but nonetheless great.
I like in 4 when you have to do all the stuff that leads up to getting Pandora's Box
Yeah...one of the dark parts of the darkest KQ...
Lord Azrael is cool. ;D Never heard of that bug though. ;)
A lot of KQ6 puzzles were good. The sense gnomes amused me, and the Lord of the Dead stuff was great. The catacombs full on creep me out, but I love them.
Gah I've gotta get KQ6...

Oddly enough, the same thing happened to me. I wonder why that is.
It's because of the stupid letter-clicking interface that doesn't let you see what you wrote or make corrections to it :-[
I liked the Catacombs, Cliffs of Logic, and the Isle of Wonder Gnomes. :D
The guardians of the Isle of Wonder
That pumpkin avatar changed my post again...
It was supposed to be the Isle of the Beast >:(
That was a fun puzzle, especially the method of getting past the Seeing Gnome.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Bumpage.
Some of the puzzles in the KQ2 VGA remake are pretty awesome, considering they completely redid that game and its entire plot, and did a damn good job with it. Anyhow, I liked running away from the sharkies and whatnot.
Some of my favourite puzzles:
1. KQ6 - figuring out the correct genie lamp when you're "dead". I think it's a smart one. When Alex picks the right one in the end, it's like a lucky guess from his part, or some sort of "inner intuition".
2. KQ3 - finding the buried treasure after overhearing the rats in the ship's cargo hold. It's actually the only beneficial of the "understaing animals" spell. It's like a bonus you get.
3. KQ4 - digging up the different graves and pacifying the ghosts: creepy, atmospheric, powerful (at least it used to be, when I first played it).
Best puzzle: cross-dressing to sneak in the KQ6 castle. ;-D
XD now THAT´S odd
took me forever to found out how to use that darn nail ::)
KQ VI sense gnomes (nice, clever little puzzle.)
KQ VI Catacombs (so many fond memories of mapping that maze...only to discover that a crude map of the damn thing + traps is actually hidden away behind a paragraph in the KQ VI manual!)

"The New O.B?"
I have seen it all now!
*is slightly disturbed and flattered at the same time by the fallen angel* :o
XD
Ln´s turn now ;B

I liked in KQ7 when you have to feed the golden grapes to the cherub to descend into the Realm of the Trolls.

Oooh! I agree!
In KQ7 I also liked the whole cornucopia thing. Oh! Oh! And the harp, to see the fates. If I recall, though, I initially couldn't hear the little fairy's song, so that one was more difficult.
I liked the whole evil forest thing the golden heart/the tree/the gnomes with the emeralds in KQ5.
I haven't played KQ6 in forever... or I don't remember it that well, anyway. But on the same vein as the rat/cat puzzle completely killing you later in the game if you didn't do it... How about not getting the hole in the wall before going up the Steps of Knowledge? That was soooo frustrating, to get all that room in the labyrinth, only to find out we had to restore way back, and go all the way up the darn cliff again. Meh. *evil memories*
catacombs in KQ6 are GREAT! I actually used the spike maze in D&D the people were SOOOO mad!!! :suffer: :suffer:
Well, whenever I forgot something that I need in the catacombs, ALexander say's that he isn't ready and you are escorted down to the beach where youcan get the stuff you need. Then you can climb backup again. I never understood the 'mapping the desert part' in KQ5 or the 'get the gold and the lamp and get out of there as fast as you possibly can' (this is very difficult if you have it on the highest game speed level' gett ing out of the dark forest was also tough.
I just got a map of the catacombs XD But anyways I enjoyed the end of KQ6 when yo get the genie ino the bottle, I dont know why, I just like him spinning realllllly fast :P
I liked the whole ending sequence! I mean running up the stairs with the music playing and all that jazz was just SO cool!

Actually I think you need to get the clue out of the black widow's web first and then it will work.
No you don't - the first time I finished the game I couldn't figure out how to get that note from the web, but I was still able to answer it correctly and finish on the long path.
It would have been a really annoying dead end if you had to :-\
Yeah. Sort of likein KQ5 if Crispin never showed up in the end (as an example).
