KING'S QUEST II Adventure Game Gameplay Walkthrough - No Commentary Playthrough

[@EddVCR]

Aww, it’s so nice to see that even the “bad guys” came to celebrate their wedding; the dragon, the wolf, the giant, and even Count Dracula who came back from the dead to wish them well!

Well once vampire turn into ashes they can still revive .. according to novels

[@oggyreidmore]

I beat the game but I never was able to get all the points. I always used to just kill the snake on the mountain with the sword so i never even knew about the magic sugar cube. That meant I had to walk VERY carefully around the poison vines at Dracula's castle. I used to get so pissed that I got into the castle, survived those twisty stairs, killed Dracula, and got all the way out only to die on those freakin' thorns! AARRGHH! I don't know how many times I died falling into the ocean trying to get on that fish's back. I never though to type "Ride fish". FUUUUU!!! I also had no idea about some of those hidden jewelry. Anyway, good walk through. Ah, the 80's...Played this on my old Tandy 1000 from Radio Shack. LOL.

[@laurelrunlaurelrun]

these games are fascinating, but I agree they are insanely frustrating. and how were you supposed to guess all the commands? I think it was more satisfying to just watch the story unfold on the play through. I wasted so much time on these as a kid.

[@sha11235]

Trial and error, of course. And there was a hint book if you were really stuck.

[@targetrender9529]

oggyreidmore didn’t you save your game? Saving was a pain in the ass, but necessary for the Sierra games. And yeah, the thorns at Dracula’s castle sucked.

[@ShockL0ver]

I discovered an Easter egg of sorts when playing this a kid. In the church, if you typed “kill monk”, you would get a message similar to “anyone who thinks this way does not deserve to play this game”, and you would get an instant game over.

[@sha11235]

Yes, I recall that.

[@Karemaker]

I played this when I was like 8 on my Brother's Amiga. I remember having no clue what to do. We would just type insults in the command input because we thought the computer was 'alive' and understood us, and would laugh and taunt it.

[@ghoststrad2000]

Awww ❤

[@tedwoe]

Wow! All these years of playing and I never knew about the magic sugar cube to get past the poison brambles at Dracula's castle. We always just killed the snake with the sword and moved very cautiously past the poison brambles. (Dying frequently, but restoring due to the old adage, "Save early, save often!)

[@sha11235]

The box the game came in has on the back the picture of the steed on the mountaintop so you might wonder how that happens. Then you've gotten the leather bridle and think to throw it on the snake, who is in the same place, getting the horse who gives you the sugar cube.

[@targetrender9529]

I remember you could walk through the brambles, but you had to be extremely cautious, and it could take dozens of tries. I did it once, then said “screw it” the next time I played, and ate the sugar cube.

[@seattlevixen]

Same!!!

[@brillopad6901]

I love these games, my family got an Atari for Christmas 1980 and I thought that was just the coolest thing ever, of course I was only 7 but hey it was great fun. The video game crash happened in 83, I of course didn't even know there was a crash but did recognize that new systems and games kind of slowly went away. So when King's Quest came out in 84 and I played it for my first time at my cousins house I was just as blown away by it as I was the Atari. It wasn't until the NES came out that I really was blown away yet again and I was addicted to gaming at that point. I would play these games all the time and when ever a new one came out I made sure I had to get it. To this day I still go back and play through them all for fun and they're still fun. I'd love to watch a video of teenagers today trying to play this with no help like he had to do back in the day. I wonder how some of them would do? Lol

[@myhybrid09]

KQ 1-2, Police Quest 1-3, and Space Quest 1-3 were my favorites!

[@colonelburton8451]

Really? I mean, I understand Space Quest since that was amazing.. Police Quest wasn't all that popular and the second part really had a bunch of weak points, but I loved it... King's Quest I was the first adventure game I ever played but I would certainly say KQ II was the worst game of them all. All you do is run around and look in a bunch of holes for some pointless jewelry and a bunch of keys. If you say you loved Police Quest 2 & 3, then KQ III certainly was tons better than KQ II.

[@Keksigrilli]

so many good memories. thank you Yzzyxz for keeping AGI alive!

[@zoesdada8923]

[@targetrender9529]

Anyone remember the message when trying to kill the monk in the Monastery? “Anyone who would would want to kill a man of the cloth does not deserve to play this game, therefore we will end it for you....and then you just fall on the floor, dead! LOL

[@Daud76]

That always had me laughing too.

[@joshmg25]

Yet ironically, in the remake, you HAVE to kill the monk.

[@eclatshwartzbaumcybertune2063]

😂😂

[@axldave9940]

Or opening the clam by Neptune yourself, then giving him the trident, only for him to kill you with it.

[@LenGamerWolf]

I remember playing these games. They taught me how to spell. Since I wasn’t very good at it. And it helped me, now that I’m older I love playing them still.

[@Lebofilms]

[@sha11235]

I played this game, although I did have to call the hotline for help a few times. This game didn't show everything, just the way to get the points. For example, when you are in the shop, you talk to the lady, who will mention the nightengale to you.

[@mikeschmidt7857]

I like how they have modern wedding clothes lol a tux and a bridal gown.

[@jasonleetaiwan]

King's Quest can be called Thief's Quest. You control a character that goes into people's homes when they are not home and you take things of use for your journey. The King can enter people's homes and just take things? I know, it's only a game.

[@colonelburton8451]

Yeah but KQ II is really the worst game of them all.

[@Phlebas]

I actually played this _after_ playing King's Quest 6. My friend had asked me to come over and help him with this because, at that point, I was well versed in Roberta Williams Moon Logic and had an instinct for these puzzles (though the text commands certainly complicate things).

[@joshmg25]

King’s Quest 6 is basically King’s Quest 2: the next generation.

[@sha11235]

Don't you love all the characters, good and evil, at the wedding at the end?

Yes! It shows that even the “bad” characters are good people at their core :)

This was the first game with puzzles that I beat as a kid. I only remembered the fish part...catch the poor guy, drag him on land, then save him...from myself? But hey Ill take the free ride to the ending lol

KQII was the best of the series. Unparallel darkness in the 80s.

I haven't played this game in about 20 years, and i just played the AGD remake of it. It felt really unfamiliar, so I watched this to see what was different. Apparently, a hell of a lot of stuff was different! No wonder it felt so unfamiliar. Love both games though, thanks for this video.

[@PowerupLink]

Ah the stairs at Count Dracula castle on 20:55, the worst enemy in the hold game back then.

[@kglaser11]

Yep. The most dangerous part of Kings Quest IV, also...that blasted circular staircase.

[@lydellfabin64]

these sierra games were pretty high tech for its time. hilarious watching it now though. KQ3 was the one I really was fond of. The damn wizard used to scare the hell out of me. I didn't know when he would show up and zap my ass.

[@sha11235]

He would show up at certain times, like if he was home and you picked up an item that was starred. He would then kill you.

[@Ambaryerno]

Either the art was by Matt Groening or everyone in Daventry had jaundice. God, how I remember the days of the EGA color palette. Quest for Glory I/II weren't much better with the nearly orange skin, lol. Incidentally, this is the only King's Quest game I actually won.

9:20 now I know my father wasn't a liar either. He said there was a mermaid but I never found her!

[@Tony-Plinkett]

One of the keys in getting the mermaid to appear is you have to cross the rope bridge, and read the inscription on the first door... However, sometimes she won't appear right away after you do that.... Don't ask me why

I remember you can 'dig' in the sand.. and you find nothing. I was obsessive digging everywhere thinking there should be some spot where dig should work.

[@Frutnoob]

I have looked for this for so long. I knew it was called king's quest but i didn't know which part. I played this on an old Atari, which was the first computer my father used for work. The music when the bat mobile came was horrifying! (the speaker was IN the keyboard mind you!)

[@Jnsfyu]

What causes the mermaid to not spawn, This episode of Kings Quest had had me stuck for so long I just decided to watch a playthrough (Yours). I am usually good with these games. I have beaten every Space Quest, every Police Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, Basically all the best classic Sierra games. I always get stuck on this episode, even when following walkthroughs the mermaid would never appear.. Maybe I was suppose to play on Legacy mode? Your gameplay looks a lot smoother, maybe that's just a scaling application though. I will be sure to play Kings Quest III and finish the series after watching your playthrough. Some games were notoriously evil, they would allow you to progress through an entire game but if you forgot something early on, then at the end you would not be able to progress or finish it, like one of the old Tex Murphy game for instance.

[@Jnsfyu]

Looks like i was meant to read the door on the other side of the bridge. I remember trying to open it, didn't know I had to read door at the time.

[@an0ana]

Whatever you do, don't type 'kill monk'. Roberta will end your game instantly LOL.

When i started to play to king quest 2, i should have around 13 years old. That was very hard to play this game.

[@crinquesdlutte6614]

I though the game gave more points for non-violent solutions. How come killing Dracula give more points than just wearing the cross and making him fly away in bat form ? You get more points by not killing the Snake and Lion with the sword.

[@laurelrunlaurelrun]

because it was totally random in a seeming effort to frustrate you. I have a fascination with this game due to playing it as a kid, but the plot is pedestrian and the strategy is virtually brute force. it's not really a very good game, I just see it with nostalgia because it was all we had.
