King's Quest I Hints
I'll take offense.
1 of 12: Knowledge of the Bible would help here.
2 of 12: You've got to find someway to slay this Goliath.
3 of 12: Think David and Goliath.
4 of 12: The weapon you need is laying close at hand.
5 of 12: Or, more accurately, at foot.
6 of 12: Look along the bottoms of the trees.
7 of 12: A sling (in the ORIGINAL version) or a slingshot (in the REMAKE) is in the hole at the base of the tree at the far southeast of the Cloud Commonwealth.
8 of 12: But you need ammo.
9 of 12: Stones would work.
10 of 12: Pebbles would too.
11 of 12: You can LOAD the slingshot with the pebbles from the delta, two screens south of the castle (in the ORIGINAL version) or from the beach, two screens west of the castle (in the REMAKE).
12 of 12: Now, just KILL the giant with the sling/slingshot, and take the Chest. If you miss the giant at first, try, try again.
