King's Quest V - Ways to Lose - Part 3

This is an attempt to exhaust all possible ways to lose in King's Quest V. Part 3 is all the clips on Mordack's Island.

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 having the fishhook or the locket).

There are some gray areas when multiple actions achieve virtually the same result. For example, Mordack can kill Graham anywhere in the castle if Graham wastes too much time, but I show the sequence only when Graham alerts Mordack by deliberately doing something stupid. (Sorry about waiting for a long time after talking to the cat. The cat is the reason Graham dies, I swear.)

If you go to Mordack's castle without the crowbar, the blue monster will show up on the screen with the grate and capture you. It's probably not worth making a video for, just something interesting I found out.

@jtd786 I think I get the pattern now. If the current impassible obstacle poses no direct threat to you, either some random event will occur to end the game (stalemate with the witch, ran out of emeralds, no crowbar) or it will just end outright (stuck in inn cellar). Otherwise the game will just wait until you die by the means of the impassable obstacle.

Having your idea in the video would be good for posterity's sake, but the actual ending in the dungeon is already shown, so I don't know.

I'm guessing that 3:19-4:49 happens if you get captured a second time, since the loose stone Cassima used to free you has been replaced and mortared. But, what happens if you get captured WITHOUT befriending Cassima?

@Falchion1984 It's the same sequence, except the game doesn't acknowledge anything special about the stone. It just gives the red X when you click on it.

5:00 "I have journeyed far, over land and sea"

Is THAT how you address the wizard/cat that kept your son away from you for 17 long years Graham? WTF??? If I was Graham I would've bitched him out for what Manannan did. It is a shame they didn't dwell deeper into this story....

@KendallHartz Doesn't beat "I have bested fruit, spike, and moon, and now I shall best you, The Guy!"

Also I wanted to pose a hilarious question: What would happen if SirRonLionHeart played this game?

[sidewaysplatypus15]

Hahaha, I used to crack up every time the narrator said UH OHHHHHHHHH

[dubs19842009]

Say hello to Davy Jones, Graham! Did that squid take him to a Monkees concert!
