King's Quest V Hints
Can I survive a stay at the inn?
1 of 10: Yes, but you need a little help, and something from the cobbler.
2 of 10: If you haven't helped the cobbler and gotten something from him in exchange, you'll have to do that first.
3 of 10: Did you notice a small hole in the cellar, while you were tied up?
4 of 10: A mouse could come from that hole to untie you if it had a reason.
5 of 10: Did you see the cat try to catch the mouse in front of the bakery?
6 of 10: Stopping the cat from catching the mouse would give the mouse a reason to help you.
7 of 10: You must throw something at the cat to stop him.
8 of 10: Several things will work on the cat, but you should use the desert boot.
9 of 10: Now, you can go into the cellar and wait for the mouse to untie you.
10 of 10: After you are free of the ropes, break the padlock with the hammer.
