King's Quest III: To Heir Is Human

Cheat

When casting a spell and asked to recite a verse just hit 'Return'.

The King's Quest series of games uses the debug command and interpreter for the programmers (up to KQIII) KQIV doesn't have it because of the tremendous size of the game. Have some fun and press the 'Alt' key, then 'D', then 'Return' or 'Enter' (I think twice), then type in either "GET OBJECT" (and type in a random #) or 'TP' for transport (and a random #) and see what happens. It works, and if you're tired of looking for a certain object, the 'Get Object' function works great! Neither of these cheats appears to work on the budget re-release of the game.

Solution

The original solution was provided by Chivas.

Initial Game Play

Go East and then North and clean the kitchen. Get the SPOON, KNIFE, BOWL, BREAD, MUTTON, and FRUIT. Now go South and get the CUP. Next, go West and then up. Wait until the manannan appears, then enter the mananans room. Go North and look at the mirror. Then open the drawer and open the closet. Look behind the clothes. Close the closet and look on top of it. Now open the drawer and you have found the MIRROR, MAP, KEY, and ESSENCE. Leave the room and go up. Look through the telescope. Get the FLY and then go down twice and then North. Open the cabinet and then go to the books and move them. Now pull the lever and go down twice, then look at the shelf.
