Tips and General Information
- After the game logos you will be asked to create a profile. This profile will be auto-saved throughout the game unless you start a new game or switch profiles if more than one. Click on the “Player Profile” button (located at the bottom of the screen), to add or delete profiles.
- Once you type in your name you can either default to casual mode (already selected) or switch to fearless mode. Fearless mode is definitely that. You will not receive any hints and you will also play for points. Mistakes will also cost you points.
- The main menu is your "home" page. Here you can select the options for the game.
- Sound and Music can be addressed by individual sliders.
- You have the option to choose an in game special cursor.
- Full Screen is the default, it is switchable to windows mode.
- High Score: Fearless mode only, keeps track of the points you receive.
- Credits: Everyone who had fun making the game.
- You cannot exit the game during a mini game. You can however, skip it (once the bar at the bottom of the screen is full) to progress on.
- Game Map: Once you assemble the map, you can access it to go to your next tasks. Active locations are shown on the map and are non-linear within a chapter. When you begin play and when you exit a screen you will revert to the game map. This allows you to try different quests at the same time and complete them later.
- Menu: to exit the game or access game options, click on the menu button.
- Journal: During the beginning of the game progression, Merlin will give you access to his journal. At certain points during the game will note that the journal has been updated and you can read the extra parts of the story there. The journal can be accessed at any time at the left corner of the game map.
- Hints: King Arthur uses a unique hint system. The player accomplishes a few tasks before they are rewarded with hints. The hints are active in screen 3. The player is not entirely alone prior to then. Pieces of the staff and the runes are illuminated by sparkles to give them the hang of things at the start. After that they must ask for a hint to get one. To replenish spells, there are runes scattered throughout the screen (except for the mini games). The game will only allow the player to pick up the runes that are needed. There is no specific order needed. However, if you use a spell, you can immediately in the same game screen (before advancing) load up your spell again, so it is ready when you need it again.
- At the launch of each mini game you will be given a short gameplay description that can be accessed at any time during the mini game by the ? at the bottom of the screen.
- Note: This walkthrough shows all the screens of the game, but because of the somewhat non-linear map system, it may not be the same order as played. Also, because of the random selection of objects in the screen, all potential objects have been circled, but you will be asked to find only a certain number of them for each game. Please use this walkthrough sparingly as there are no soft hints here, only massive spoilers!
- King Arthur is a hidden object puzzle game with two modes of gameplay. Merlin is the guide throughout the adventure. He will tell pieces of the story and early on the player is given the opportunity to read a little further text. Merlin will also give some explanations to upcoming gameplay.
