Sir Graham is a brave knight who is sent on a quest to retrieve three treasures that were stolen by deception and stealth: a shield that protects its bearer from invaders, a mirror that foretells the future, and a treasure chest that is forever filled with gold. If Graham takes these treasures back to the royal castle, then the ailing King Edward the Benevolent of Daventry will hand over the crown. During his travels, Graham will meet characters that will either help or hinder him.
These hints were originally published at Universal Hint System and now republished here in Nice Game Hints. Thank you to Greg Edwards for giving the permission to republish these hints.
Please note: Sierra published two versions of King's Quest 1: the original (in 1983) and a later remake (in 1990). To find which version you are using, load up the program. The welcome screen (after the joystick initialization screen) will display the date when your version was created. Most of the hints given in this UHS file work for either version. When, however, hints apply only to one version, hints and solutions will be marked either ORIGINAL or REMAKE.
These are the low-spoiler hints for King's Quest I. Start by selecting the part of the game you want hints for. Under there you will find hints for each puzzle separately. Unlike in normal walkthroughs, you won't see spoilers for other puzzles. Just hints (and the solution) for the one you are looking for. Enjoy!
