Kingdom O' Magic
General Information
This was written after having seen the rather poor and often
inaccurate hints from some guy calling himself "Darksheer"
.Apparently, he didn't like the game so he got really sloppy.
He also only covered one quest, claiming that the others were too
boring to comment. In his walkthrough, he eventually mixes up all
three quests and even gave some hints which were just plain wrong.
This solution covers all three quests!
Some minor aspects may be different when playing with Thidney, I
played in Sha-ron Mode.
"How do I work this?"
I tried to keep this as fair as possible. The text is divided in
locations where you get basic hints first ("You need:" and "You
get:").
The solution is mostly given in a Q&A style, so you can first read the
question, think about it and then proceed with the answer if you want
to.
Often, you will only want a very basic hint to avoid spoiling the fun
o' exploring the Kingdom by yourself.
After the solve, you will find information about the people you meet
while walking around the kingdom, followed by Miscellaneous hints.
At the end o' this file, you can find a rough listing o' how to finish
the quests. This is general information in case you don't know where
you are supposed to be going. There be spoilers here, so beware!!!
Since the names o' the quests are a bit long to type out, the
following abbreviations have been used:
* The Good Old Traditional Quest (GOTQ)
* The Magnificent 7-11 Quest (M711Q)
* The Bizarre & Slightly Twisted Quest (B&STQ)
If you spot a parenthesis with the word (day) or (night) in it, it
means that this place can only be sensibly visited during that
particular time o' day.
Important Information
The best way to use this solve is probably to print it out and cover
the pages with another blank page. Peek only when and where you must.
This is not an official document. It was written for fun. It may not
be entirely accurate and it may not be entirely complete.
Send your comments to MOATMAI@aol.com; send your flames to >NUL. If
this solve spoils your fun with the game: not my problem.

Miscellaneous
The number o' parodies is innumerable. Check out the Nazi / Rob
Schneider Wig-Meister, the Christopher Lloyd-like Mad Baker, Humphrey
Balrog, the Ringwraiths... never mind Puff The Magic Dragon, Terrence,
Pinhed or Conrad The Barbarian.
Tips for playing
The spell o' cabbage is good only if you immediately follow it up with
a physical attack.
Hurry with that ice.
Sometimes, the tomb stone o' a dead character is only two pixels wide
and tall. Clean your mouse before playing...
Ignore any stones lying around. There is only one significant stone in
the game: the one in the Dark Tower.
Always save your game before important conversations or events. If you
don't get a conversation to work the way it should, you can always go
back to that very same point.
There are a lot o' red herrings: Things that can be done in one quest,
but which cannot be completed in other quests.
You can get hints via the mobile phone: Call the actual hint line (see
game manual) using the phone in the game! Every hint costs you a gold
piece, though, and sometimes the hints are next to useless (The
hotline number in the British Edition is: 0 1703 631 826).
Some fun things to try out
Generally speaking: It is often fun to get really insulting to see
what happens.
Ask Elfis for a clue. Ask what you get for one gold piece or accept
the price.
Ask the king o' De-Lorean about his tiger wife.
Be very offensive with the Queen o' De-Lorean.
Talk to one o' the elves about vandalism.
Make a really bad pun with Terrence and the Wig-Meister.
As Sha-ron, talk dirty to Terrence (or to anyone, really).
Try to get thrown into prison by the Cop.
Do try out the thermal detonator sometime. That's one way to finish
the game VERY quickly.
Don't put the Palentire Stone back in the box.
Look repeatedly into the Palentire Stone after offing Marshgast.
Talk with Timmie a lot. Tell him his name.
Try to get different favors from Don Elrondo and the Elf Guard.
Comment on Pinhed's voice.
Have a long conversation with the Beastie.
Ask the Ninja Baker about his body odor.
Look at the left tusk o' the Dark Lord's tower.
Try to rumble.
Bugs
Don't be in Don Elrondo's quarters when night falls. Else you cannot
move until the sun rises again.
There is an instance where it snows in De-Lorean.
Sometimes calling the hint line crashes the game. Always save your
game before calling.

How To Complete The Quests
Each o' the games has a different goal and conclusion. This is where I
spoil all the fun... so if you want to turn back now, do so...
.
.
.
.
.
.
Some Common Problems
Always get the donuts, defeat the Police Officer and the Gorgon, kill
the High Steward and neutralize the Evil Wizard Marshgast. Always
confront the Queen of De-Lorean, get the ice for the King of De-Lorean
and re-vitalize the Elfis Golem.
The Good Old Traditional Quest (GOTQ)
The point o' the quest is to kill the dragon.
Never try to do this yourself — this will be taken care o' by some
Mafia Elves. You have to get a contract on the dragon first ("Elven
Gift Certificate").
It is a fun quest, but very frustrating as you end up rather stuck at
several points o' the game, directionless and confused by various red
herrings: Ignore the Spiders, the Ferryman / Pirate problem, King
Afro's Palace as well as the Lift leading to the Dark Lord's Tower.
The game ends when you hand the gift certificate to the Elf Guard at
Rivendull.
The Magnificent 7-11 Quest (M711Q)
The point is to gather seven to eleven companions.
O' course, the "to eleven" is just a pun — seven are enough (Mr. Tree,
Humprey Balroh, Goliath, Conrad The Barbarian, Gingerbread Hero, Elfis
Golem, Beastie).
There are some red herrings here, but not as many as in the GOTQ (no
way o' defeating the Dark Lord): Ignore the Spiders, the Hairdresser
and the Wig-Maker.
The game ends when you have recruited the seventh companion.
The Bizarre & Slightly Twisted Quest (B&STQ)
The point is to kill the Dark Lord. The whole "Lava Lamp" spiel in the
introduction is somewhat misleading.
Not as difficult as the game designers want to make you believe,
really...
There are less red herrings here: Ignore the Grail quest, the Flake
Town Disco and the Costume Shop.
The game ends when you wear an asbestos suit and put a candle in the
giant candle holder on Mount Boom.
