Title: Quest for Glory 4 1/2 Can't seem to thaw Elsa
Post by: on Sun 20/06/2004 05:12:49
According to the walkthrough you have to click on Elsa to thaw her yet I have tried and tried but nothing seems to work. Does any know how to thaw her?

This is the only thing that I have left to do and would really like to finish this game.  Thanks

M,
Can you tell me how the hero gets over the wall to get back into town at night and into the castle. When he tries to clilmb the wall a message says, "you don't have enough experience yet but you will get some though." How does he get experience on climbing walls and what do I do? Maybe I need to get the WT because I'm having trouble with this one... ::)

You don't get experience in QfG4.5 (the status screen is in fact a picture, not text). You don't have to climb over the walls either, you can sleep outside town.

Okay, I figured it out by myself though it took a while.
You have to keep clicking  on the wall of the town and the fence of the castle and eventually it will let you over. Its more than 5 tilmes.

I'm stuck. I can't get all the possible points and after the game is finished it say's "The butcher was executed because you didn't come up with evidence" or something similar. I got the evidence from the club but don't know who to show it to. I have tried Elsa but I can never get her to stay on the screen long enough to regain cursor control and thus can't show her. I have also tried; The Butcher, His wife, Kaspar, the men in the club... I don't know what to do! Please I beseach of you, help me.

The walkthrough goes through about half, then starts repeating itself with different grammer or words i.e it says give Larry the "Bones" and later it says give Larry Bonehead or things like that I may have missedsomething but the site has ceased to exist. I tried the-underdogs.org where I first heard about this game but so far haven't come upwith anything new. If anyone finds something please let me know. Thanks. ???

Am I the only one who has trouble killing Cleo's murderer? He's tough and I usually run out of stamina when he has about a fifth of his life to live off of before he dies and it says I'll leave behind a nice corpse.

At night go to the church, there you will see a ghost. Walk closer and talk to it, it will tell you that she is the ghost of a murdered girl who was killed by her lover for money. She asks you to dig up her ones and give them a proper burial in Erana's Peace. Take the shovel and dig up the third pew on the right. Go to Erana's Peace, and dig a hole in the ground next to the tree on the right side. Cleo told you to take her little finger and you do that automatically when you click her bones on the hole. At night go to the church again, Cleo tells you that the money is in the same place that her bones were, so click the shovel on the pew again. In the morning you have to give the money to the priest (it's not that big a loss since you can't use the money anyway because it's so old that now they have a currency).  If you walk along the path that the game started on and keep pon it, on the screen with the big tree that has a knothole you should get a strange message that something is quivering in your pack. Go north (up) and you should come face-to-face with Cleo's murderer. You can talk to him about Cleo but all other subjects will get shrugged off so don't even bother. You can only fight with him by clicking your sword/dagger on him. If you are an MU (Magic User, Wizard...whatever you want to call it) it doesn't pay to cast spells they have no effect.  That's how you get to die/fight with him. You can't escape him to drink a potion, as it just says "You can't escape this encounter". Good Luck.

By the way if you want to you can click the sword on the lawyer to hold him up but regardless of what you gave him before (even if you already gave him 200 gold) you only get 20 back and you can't hurt the Ogre.

Well, i was able to kill that guy, almost impossible though. I had to cheat. You have almost flawlessly hit him and never miss, otherwise you run out of stamina. Oh yeah, im a fighter so if that makes a difference. So i cheated by saving the same every time i would hit him and restore it if i missed. Long ardious and it sucked, but it works. What i dont get is how you get that stuid guy out of jail. I have the evidence what the hell do you do with it? If i ever figure everything out, im tempted to write a new wlakthrough, because the only one on the web SUCKS!, but i think ill probably sucumb to my laziness and never get around to it. Yeah, but if you know how to free him, please, do tell.

I liked this game. But it was spoilt by bugs an annoying crudeness. This game could do with a remake since the remaining bugs won't get fixed.

How can I free the butcher?

Well I'm almost done with the game, and actually am stuck on Pirate Island of how to escape the pirates. To free the butcher (seems like where most of you guys are), go to the Gentlemen's Club (Old Hero's Inn), show the evidence to Otto and that's how you free the butcher! =)

Also try to explore outside of town, there's the church and the whorehouse, etc. But yea if anyone knows what to do with the pirates, I need help with that.

When you're in town^, buy a keg from the barmaid for five gold. Then go and buy sleeping pills from Merv the trinket seller. Put the sleeping pills in the keg. After borrowing the boat, go to pirate island and after getting the necklace go out and the pirate's will be there. Click the keg on them and loot them. You can now leave without any trouble.

maybe im completely backward  but i cant work out how to eat in the game where do you buy rations?


free the butcher: talk to mafia lady inside town gate when you see her, she will meet you. she will be dead  but  you bring her to life with the potion the witch gave you when her son comes back( after you give bones "bonehead" to the man in the grate under the graveyard).
then take things out of the safe at night and give to otto the next day. he will sort out the rest.
