King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder!/The Mountains

The Inn
Before heading to the mountains to the east, there are a few more items you'll need for survival. First, head to the Weeping Willow tree and give her the golden heart you took from the witch's home (4 points). As thanks for returning her back to human form and reuniting her with her prince, she will give you a harp (2 points). Now go south and give the gnome the spinning wheel. As thanks for returning it, he will give you a marionette (4 points).

Head into town and visit the toy shop. Give the owner the marionette you just acquired for a sled (4 points). While in town, head to the shoe cobbler and give him the pair of shoes you got from the elf (4 points). As thanks, he'll give you his hammer. Finally, head to the inn to the west of town. Make sure you save before entering.

Enter the inn and speak with the innkeeper. He will knock you out with a crowbar and leave you in his cellar. Thankfully, you saved the rat from the cat earlier on. As luck has it, the rat knows you're here and has come to save you. It will chew through the ropes that you are tied up in. Pick up the rope before moving on (2 points). To get out, you'll have to get through the padlock on the door. Use your hammer to smash it (4 points). Head through the door to enter the kitchen. Make sure you take the leg of lamb from the cellar (2 points) before leaving the inn by heading to the left (To the right is the innkeeper and your death). Once you leave, never go back or you will be killed.

The Mountains
Now you are ready to go to the mountains to the east. To get past the snake, use your tambourine on it to scare it away (3 points). Now would be a good time to save your game. Head east into the mountains and you'll notice it is very cold! Put on the cloak you acquired at the tailor shop to protect yourself from the bitter cold (4 points). Also, eat half of the leg of lamb so you don't starve (4 points).

On the next screen you'll need to scale a frozen waterfall. This is where the rope comes into play. Use the rope on the jutting rock (5 points) to climb successfully. Note that if you use the rope on the tree, the branch will break killing you. When you climb to the top, save your game! Here you will have to jump across a series of rocks to make it to the other side of a canyon. Unfortunately some of the rocks will break under your weight. By trial and error (reload if you fail), jump across (2 points). Head further east and Cedric will be captured by a wolf. For now, sled down the hill (5 points). If you walk down the hill, you will die while attempting to cross a small ice bridge. Save now!

On the next screen, feed the starving eagle the rest of your lamb (3 points). Then head to the castle where you will be escorted to see Queen Icebella (2 points). When the wolves start closing in you, use your harp on Icebella and she will give you a chance to redeem yourself (4 points). You will have to eliminate the Yeti living nearby. Save again before proceeding to the next screen. When the Yeti starts moving toward you, throw your pie at him (4 points) and he will fall to his death. Now enter the Yeti's cave and take one of the crystals with you. To get it, use the hammer on it (4 points).

The wolf will take you back to the palace and Icebella will set you free. Now head south of where you fought the Yeti and you will be captured by a roc (2 points). Quickly pick up the shining object in the nest. It is a locket (2 points). Because you save the eagle before, it will now come save you. You will end up on a beach. Now it is time to cross the ocean.

If you have followed the guide to this point, you should have 156 points.
