King's Quest: Mask of Eternity Hints

How can I obtain the Feather of Truth?

  • 1 of 13: The Boatman tells you that you need to get the Feather of Truth to be judged on the Scales of Justice.
  • 2 of 13: He says to seek the Hall of Respite.
  • 3 of 13: He then says "Judge the Skulls on the left.  Down Creation plus Completion equals All Things."
  • 4 of 13: If you've gotten across the river in the Hall of Respite, the skulls are now obvious. If you haven't gotten across:
  • 5 of 13: At this point it would be good to visit the Hall of War.
  • 6 of 13: Upon reaching the other side of the river in the Hall of War, you find a statue, and you can fit a skull on top of it... now all that is needed is to find the correct skull in the Hall of Respite and fit it atop the statue. The only problem is, there are 60 skulls to choose from.
  • 7 of 13: The Boatman said "Judge the skulls on the left." There are two cases full of skulls so, if you narrow it down to the left case, that only leaves 30 skulls to choose from.
  • 8 of 13: The Boatman said "Down Creation". Creation must mean something other than creation literally.
  • 9 of 13: Explore the Dimension of Death and read all of the little monuments. One willl give you the clue you need.
  • 10 of 13: One of the monuments said that 3 is often used as the number of Creation, so you can now substitue "Down 3" instead of "Down Creation".
  • 11 of 13: This means that you must pick a skull on the bottom (third) shelf of the left case of skulls in the Hall of Respite. That narrows it down to 10 skulls.
  • 12 of 13: The Boatman said "Plus Completion". Try the same method you used on Creation, except look for the number of Completion.
  • 13 of 13: On one of the monuments is written that 7 is the number of Completion. This must mean that you need to "Judge the skulls on the left, go down three and add seven." So, pick the seventh skull on the bottom skull of the left case and fit it upon the statue in the Hall of War. You now have the Feather of Truth.
