King's Quest VI - Ways to Lose - Part 4 of 10

"Hmmm, maybe the dead minotaur has some loose change on him. Let's go back and see..."

This is an attempt to exhaust all possible ways to lose in King's Quest VI. Part 4 finishes up the Catacombs, then shows the clips on the Isle of the Beast. (Obviously the clips are organized by island, rather than by chronology of the game.)

I have opted to show only the results that specifically result in a Restore/Restart/Quit screen, although there are many other ways to make the game unbeatable (e.g. not taking the scythe on the first visit to the Isle of the Mists). When I group several clips together, that means each of the clips has the same result from that point onward, and I show that result only on the last such clip.

For more details on how I sort out the clips, see Part 1.

*Arrow hits Alexander in the neck*

Alexander is pierced to the heart!

...

Does he think with his butt, too?

[shadyparadox]

@Squiglypig Apparently.

In all the years -- since 1994 -- that I've played this game, I've never seen Alexander turn into a beast except in videos on the Internet. When I've played the game, I've always done the necessary things.

What exactly is it, in gameplay terms, that results in Alexander turning into a beast? Is there a time limit, or is it triggered by Alexander doing certain things, like going to the location with Beauty's house without all the necessary items?

[shadyparadox]

@barichm0 It's just a straight time limit. I should get out the stop watch.

INDIANA JONES 2 RIP-OFF!!!!

[shadyparadox]

Considering both the crushing ceiling and the tiled floor are from Indiana Jones, I like to think of them as a tribute rather than a rip-off.

Man, the puns in this game are pretty epic.

[BigSmoke2222]

god i love how at the end when he turns into a beast, and the garden chick is just standing there normally, i think i'd shit myself if I saw a human turn into a beast in real life... LOLz too: Wee.Weewee.. xD

[sundowniseeu]

"RAWWW"

"OOOF"

"AIYEEEEE"

[GeneticKH]

@shadyparadox what did he turn into anyway? a pig elephant?

[nerdboy02]

ZOUNDS

[ritapuhakka]

OMG THAT IS SO FUCKING GRUESOME! he gets split in half... i remember this game giving me nightmares and shi because of stuff like that.

[ScireSpire]

Nowadays... Reading 'is that the beast you can do?' Is a completely different meaning now. Doing a beast is not my kind of thing.

[Extreme2585a]

you like dieing don't you?! LOL

[leegeorgeson]

You know what really grinds my gears? People throwing SKULLS!

[MrSlytherin]

"Alexander never was much good at SQUASH!" HAHAHAHAH !!!

Oh boy, when I played this game as a teenager, I missed MANY of the death scenes, because...well... I didn't want to get killed! ;o)

[animegirl677]

Aieee ROFL! Watching at the puns for every death is too funny

[Sonic8000]

"Tickets...only...! NEXT...!"

I take it this is for every death, right?
