Okay, King’s Quest V, you win. I give up. After trying to finish the game for hours now, I give up.

First I had to look up a hint that explained to me that I had to wait forever and ever in the library to wait for Mordack to go to sleep. Then I hadn’t thought about making the blue monster slip. All the while restoring and restoring whenever Mordack showed up to kill me. O what bliss the ending of Monkey Island 2 is in comparison, where you only get teleported and not killed.

Then I tried again and again and again to do what you’re supposed to do, namely put the two wands on the machine and activate it. And you activate it with by throwing in a random item, but I can live with that, because that’s what you have to do at lot in the game: using random items. But the game wouldn’t let me. Every time I used the wands, Mordack shows up and kills me. I tried starting over from different parts in the endgame, but nothing worked, and sometimes I couldn’t even get this far, because Mordack would show up before the blue monster. So frustrating. I don’t even want to watch the ending on YouTube. Bah!
