The Legend of Kyrandia 1 (1992) Ending

Infamous game due to its design but its graphics are great for a 1992 game, they look amazing, and the story is nice.

The Legend of Kyrandia is a fantasy point and click adventure game trilogy with comedy elements, created by Westwood Studios, and released for DOS, Amiga, FM Towns and Apple Macintosh. It was based in a fantasy setting called Fables & Fiends which has not been used beyond the trilogy, and is partly based on a BBS of the same name.

The games of the trilogy are named as follows:
The Legend of Kyrandia Book One (released on floppy disk and CD-ROM, came on nine disks for the Amiga version - this was the only game in the series converted for the Amiga)
The Legend of Kyrandia Book Two: The Hand of Fate (released on floppy disk and CD-ROM)
The Legend of Kyrandia Book Three: Malcolm's Revenge (released on CD-ROM only)

Each installment of the series uses the perspective of a different character. In the first game, the player controls a young hero named Brandon. In the second, the player controls a royal female mystic named Zanthia. In the third and final game, the player controls Malcolm, the evil court jester who was previously the main antagonist.

Book One

In the fantasy kingdom of Kyrandia, King William and his wife, Queen Catherine, have been murdered by the evil court jester Malcolm, a madman who possesses vast magical powers. Brandon, the prince, has been hidden in the forest by Kallak, a counselor of the King, who raises him as his grandson. Malcolm has fun destroying the forest of the country, and meets Kallak, turning him into stone. Brandon, oblivious of his past, soon discovers the truth about his origins. He finds out that Malcolm has stolen the Kyragem, a mystic stone that contains the kingdom's energy. Brandon has to recover the Kyragem and defeat Malcolm.

After many adventures, also including the obtaining of an important and the king's chalice along the way (not to mention learning four different magical spells), Brandon is able to reach the king's castle which Malcolm now occupies. Here he finds most of his former friends and allies from earlier in the game here, too, turned to stone by Malcolm as well as a magical scepter and king's crown. Putting these together he unlocks the way to Malcolm's personal chamber where the Kyragem lies. He defeats Malcolm personally but only escapes momentarily before Malcolm returns for revenge. After becoming invisible (one of his magic powers) he walks up to a giant mirror, Malcolm uses a magic (appearing to throw a fireball) which bounces off the mirror, turning Malcolm to stone. In the ending cutscene Brandon becomes king, his friends are freed, and the Kyragem is returned to its proper place.
