King's Quest VII Hints Hints about Chapter 1 If you need help with the Kangaroo Rat When the kangaroo rat opens the door, click on him to talk to him. You will need to trade with him. In order to do this, you must give him his eyeglasses, which the Jackalope has taken. The item you must trade to the kangaroo rat is a seed. In return, he will give you a turquoise bead. If you need help with the Jackalope You will need to capture the Jackalope in order to get the Kangaroo Rat's glasses away from him. You can do this in two ways. One way is to use the hunting horn first on Valanice, to clear it, and then on the Jackalope's hole, to scare him out.. The other way to catch the Jackalope is to use the rope on one of the two cacti in the screen where you first emerged into the desert. If you need help with the Desert Spirit The Desert Spirit wanders the edges of the Endless Desert. To find him, venture one or two screens out into the Endless Desert. Do not go too far out into the Endless Desert, or you will get lost and die. When you see him, click on him to talk. If you give him fresh water, he will give you a hint on how to leave the desert, and he will offer you one of two items; a rope, or some powder in a vial. Take whichever one you please. Either one will be of help to you. After you have chosen one of the items, walk North to leave the Endless Desert. Note: You do not have to deal with the Desert Spirit to complete the game. If you need help creating fresh water To create fresh water, walk to the screen with the pool of salt water and the water god statue. Click on the base of the statue to see the formula to create fresh water. Click Rosella's comb on Valanice to make her cry. Now walk Valanice next to the water god's bowl, and use the comb on her again to make her cry into the water god's bowl. Use the bowl in Valanice's inventory on the pool of salt water to take some, then use the bowl of salt water on the bowl in the water god's hand to pour the salt water in. Finally, place the ear of corn in the water god's cupped hand. Once the formula is complete, use Valanice's bowl on the water god's bowl to take the fresh water.

If you can't get past the giant scorpion You can get rid of the giant scorpion in one of two ways. You can use the vial of powder that the desert spirit could have potentially given you to shrink him. You can also combine the piece of petticoat with the stick in inventory to create a flag, then use the flag on him to induce him to stick his tail in the wall.

If you have two halves of the key in inventory and they do not fit together, one of them is not the real key. You must go back down into the bottom of the water god's well and trade the false key for the real key. If you find yourself lost in the desert, go north. You will eventually run into the cliffs. Now all you have to figure out is whether you are east or west of the main playing area. Try one direction. If you don't find the main play area fairly soon, try the reverse. If you die, you will be restored back to the screen where you left off.
