King's Quest: Mask of Eternity Hints

How can I get the fourth mask piece behind the grate?

  • 1 of 12: You'll have to find a way to open it.
  • 2 of 12: Look at the slot in the wall for a clue.
  • 3 of 12: Be sure to pick up the ice shard from the floor.
  • 4 of 12: The ice shard needs to be reshaped so that it will fit in the slot.
  • 5 of 12: Walk out of the citadel. Do you notice that wide gap at the base of the door?
  • 6 of 12: The gap is just the size of what you need to fit into that slot.
  • 7 of 12: Put the ice shard in the gap.
  • 8 of 12: Now you will need to find a way to make it fit... hmm, how about melting it?
  • 9 of 12: You can do this with the Fire Sword (find it in the eastern portion of the map) or the Fire Bow (retrieve one from a dead Fire Dwarf).
  • 10 of 12: Now that it's melted it will need to refreeze, right?
  • 11 of 12: You can do this with the Ice Crossbow (retrieve one from a dead Ice Orc).
  • 12 of 12: Now you can pick up the slot and use it to open the room with the mask piece.
