King's Quest VI
In-Depth FAQ, including points, items, maps, and different endings
version 1.0.0
by Andrew Schultz schultza@earthlink.net
The primary purpose of this walkthrough is to describe how the points
are scored. I couldn't find such a listing on the internet, so I wrote
one myself. Some residual benefits may be that you find out *exactly*
where to click, which isn't always clear in the game(**AHEM** walking
around the castle basement,) and there may be some puzzles you *HAVE* to
do or people you must talk to in a certain order that you weren't aware
of. In addition, you have to perform some actions that don't get you
any points(i.e. talk to someone) so that you are able to do something
else(i.e. talk to someone else, given what you know. It's not always
logical.) At any rate, this list is spoiler-intense and possibly not
all-inclusive, so you must proceed at your own risk. There are also
many different wrinkles in the ending, which I didn't realize until I'd
tried leaving specific elements out of a perfect walkthrough. So this
FAQ is not 100% complete in that respect but submissions of cases I've
missed are welcome.

NUMBER ONE CLICKING TIP
If there are two items to click, say, the hand icon on, and one causes
death and the other helps solve a puzzle, walk far away from them and
then click. If you are too close, you will get a bunch of "Alexander
blah blah blah" messages and just before the monotony is unbearable, you
may very well click on the wrong object.
