               Monty Python: the Quest for the Holy Grail
                           The Walkthrough
                  (not the movie, the computer game)
                as dictated by Ralph the Wonder-Llama

************************************************************************

Warning: Do not use this walkthrough unless you are desperate. This
truly is a game to savor, so just going through and clicking on only
the important things is not recommended. The game has its tough parts,
but it's not one of the more difficult ones. However, if you're near
the end and need to find that one last item, feel free; or if you only
bought it so that you could see the King Brian the Wild sketch, be my
guest. I will soon be putting out a hint file so that those of you who
want gentler hints can have them, so be on the watch. A walkthrough is
much quicker to write.

************************************************************************
[At any time during this walkthrough, feel free to click on any
extraneous items you see in each game scene along the way to suit your
interest, as it will hurt nothing and only make you enjoy the experience
the more for it.]
