King's Quest I Hints
How do I get there?
1 of 8: It's an island surrounded by a raging river.
2 of 8: So you can't walk there.
3 of 8: Swimming won't work either.
4 of 8: One if by land, two if by sea, three if by...
5 of 8: Air?
6 of 8: You need some form of air transportation.
7 of 8: A friendly bird sometimes flies by the entrance of the cave. (If you're playing the REMAKE, the bird will only appear after you have the Mirror and the Chest.)
8 of 8: Walk under the bird, and JUMP. If you're positioned correctly, you'll automatically hold on. He'll take you to the island.
