Part 6

Hello and welcome back to King's Quest IV. Today's update is gonna be a nice cool down period after last time's back to back whammies. We've got most of the stuff we need to tame the unicorn, so let's go get the piece we're missing.

The classical architecture pool is our final stop. I mentioned in the first (proper) update that there's a slight element of RNG to this screen.

>look cupid

>look pool

Well, we did just climb out of the ocean... but that water... oh to hell with it. Let's go jump in.

>look cupid



If you fall into the pool, then the only way out is to walk to the far side of the screen. Anyway, as you've probably guessed, Cupid randomly shows up here. We need his bow to tame the unicorn, so let's go get it.
>get bow

Cue wandering around for a few minutes trying to remember where the unicorn was.

>shoot unicorn




>pet unicorn

Oh man I feel bad about doing this now.

>put bridle on unicorn
At least using the bridle makes sense here.

>ride unicorn









Am I the only one picturing Marius's fate when Lolotte promises us a reward?


Originally, I was going to end the update there. But an update with 12 images and some dialogue would be short, even for this LP series. So let's just continue on.

So in a previous update, I mentioned the waterfall. This is one of two times we're going to come here. The current is so strong at the base of the waterfall that we can't get through. So we need to go back to one of the first items we got in the game.
>wear crown


Yep, if we wear the little froggy crown, we can temporarily turn into a frog. Handy! Anyway, there's two items we need from around here.
>look

The other item we need is just inside this cave here.

This is a tiny preview of what we're going to be dealing with before too long. I know a bunch of you reading this just got very mad. I know. I feel the same way. The rest of you? Just... just you wait.
>look ground


Let the mysterious growls be another taste of what's to come. This cave is bad news up one side and down the other. We'll be back in a few updates to really get the full experience.

I'm going to call the update there. If I had to estimate, we're around halfway through the game around this point. So

NEXT TIME: We finish the second of Lolotte's tasks
