King's Quest VI - Ways to Lose - Part 3 of 10

"Hello, stranger. I refuse to talk about anything else until you do this one particular thing that's obviously dangerous and stupid."
"The last three people I've met with gold eyes said the exact same thing. I think I can trust you now."

This is an attempt to exhaust all possible ways to lose in King's Quest VI. Part 3 takes place on the Isle of the Sacred Mountain, where Alexander encounters some unfortunate incidents at the Logic Cliffs and in the Catacombs.

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. 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.

The end result of the last clip is the same whether you immediately follow the genie or walk back and forth a hundred times.

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

There's another death at the panel puzzle, but you can "fake" it with the ones you've got.

All you do is step onto that first panel and jump off back to start.

The narrator guy says something about darting back to the beginning, but after that, it's the EXACT SAME THING as if you try to dash across.

Hmmm... I'm just getting the same line for both doorways:

"Alexander decides to make a beeline for the exit from his current location."

Where did she... GOOOOooooo..

Boy, he's as stupid as Graham was in 5!

Like father like son! =)

There needs to be a rim-shot after every bad joke the narrator says.

I like how the voice actress for the angel chose to be incredibly bad when it's the genie XD

@yuxiechan I'll have to keep that tip in mind about drawing a map in the catacombs. Thanks.

Robbie Benson is Good!

@mixcherie92 And the clue _in_ the guide was a poem too: "Four men standing in a row, third from the left and down you go; the rest in order move you on, the youngest, the eldest, and the second son."

"The unforgiving rocks break his long fall" when he fell only a few feet and landed on sand. What the heck?

@shadyparadox

Ah, that explains it. :) I didn't get a crackle like the OP, but the sound stopped at "oh" for me as well. I always figured it was a (broken) attempt to cut it down to just saying "Ticket!" doing the thumb thing, and saying "NEXT!"
