THE ANSWERS:
1) Is this really King's Field II?
King's Field, as released in the US, is in fact Japan's King's Field II.
The first one generally did not receive very good reviews, and so we are
probably not missing out on much.
2) Does it really take 15 memory blocks?
No. There is no need to buy a new memory card. Each save game appears
to take up 2 slots.
3) How can I heal my HP without using items?
Inside the cave to the right as you start the game, there is a room with
a fountain of water in it (to your left). Stand in front of it and press
X and you will be fully healed.
The Earth Heal and Breath spells will heal you.
Wearing the Moon Guard or Seath's Helm will slowly regenerate your HP.
4) How can I heal my MP without using items?
When you rescue a certain character from a prison, he will give you
a Dragon Stone. Take this through a secret door in another prison
cell and into Seath's Fountain room. Use it on the pedestal directly
to the right of the door you came through. Red water will now be
flowing in the canal. This water will heal your MP.
Wielding the Dark Slayer sword will slowly regenerate your MP.
5) Where can I save my game?
In the cave to the right of where you start, if you follow the right
hand wall, you will eventually go down a set of stairs. To the right
is a greyish wall. Press X and it will open to reveal a save point.
6) Why didn't the magic crystal do anything for me?
If a new spell does not show up in the "Use Magic" list, you just
learned an offensive spell. These must be equipped on the Equipment
menu. The second from the top is Magic. It will show up there.
7) How do I kill the big kraken at the beginning?
If you are asking, then don't worry about it yet. You can kill him
at any level, with any weapon. But, he is pretty tough, and the area
behind him is pretty tough as well. Wait until you are bigger and
have better equipment. There is no hurry. Suggestion: level 20+
8) How do I unlock the chests at the beginning?
The chest in the room with the fountain is opened with the Pirate's Key.
There are about 6 or 7 different keys that open various chests, so you'll
just have to use trial and error.
9) Where is the Pirate's Key?
Finish the Termite's Lair and you'll get it.
10) What does the Blood Stone do?
It will restore your Status to Good, except it does not affect Poison.
11) What does Verdite do?
It increases your Magic Power by 1 point. At the beginning you are
better off selling it for needed cash. Later in the game, you find
more and may not need money, but the power will be useful.
12) What are those big yellow trees?
Stand beneath them and wait. Look up and you'll notice a Dragon Crystal
slowly growing on the tree. Keep waiting and it will fall to the ground.
13) How do I kill the Termite King/Queen?
Easiest way is to stand at the entrance to the chamber and use the bow to
hit him with arrows until he dies.
14) What are Crystals and Crystal Shards for? Can I sell them?
Crystal Shards appear to have no use. Sell them for 25 or 26 gp.
DO NOT SELL ANY FULL CRYSTALS. They are much more valuable (usage-
wise, not cash value) when traded for Crystal Flasks.
15) Where do I trade Crystals?
Finish the Termite's Lair and go into the Central Village. You can get
past the woman who was blocking the entrance. Hang a right and the
Crystal craftsman is right there.
16) How do I get through the room under the waterfall?
Use the skull key where you see the skull and crossbones.
17) Where is the Skull Key?
Past the fisherman, enter a cave, past the giant snail, go up the stairs
and out onto a wooden platform. Look down and you'll see a stretch of
land. Take a running jump and go into that area. On the other side of
the pendulum there are some wooden doors. Inside one of them is a chest
that, after unlocked with the Pirate's Key, will yield the Skull Key.
18) Can I sell the ... Key now?
NO! Keep your keys and you won't get stuck later.
19) How do you open the big blue "moon" doors with the circle on them?
These will open once both red and green water flows into Seath's Fountain.
20) Where is Fai?
Just before you enter the Small Mine, there is a wooden sign. To the
right of that passage is another passage. Take the right side and Fai
is at the end.
21) Where do I get a Figure of Seath?
From an old lady elf on the Eastern Seaside, which is over past Gigi's
House. Go through the Central Village, all the way north, around the
outside of Harvine's Castle, and come back on the other side of the
chasm where you first saw the Pillars of Wind. Then follow the Pirate's
Map to work your way to the Eastern Seaside.
One is in a secret compartment in a jail cell in Prison 2.
Another is in a room you must drop down off a short bridge to get to,
on the Eastern Seaside.
22) What are the Pillars of Wind for?
Use Harvine's Flute between them and a bridge will appear for a short time.
23) Where is Harvine's Flute?
Fai has it.
24) What does Seath's Plume do?
It allows you to cast magic without using MP for a short time.
25) What is the combination to the Elf Shrine?
Look closely at the painting in Leon Shore's house (Eastern Seaside).
26) Why doesn't the Gate do anything?
You need 10 MP to use a Gate. You must have put the matching key onto
a Guidepost. Do NOT sell gates!
27) How long do I have to wait for Leon to make the Dark Slayer sword?
Advance a level. Then go back.
