Well, there's actually an "easier" solution, that is using your sword on him. (Yes, you can do that, poor lion! :p) And I think it's better to let people find out on their own. Those who like perfect scores will come back later and ask for help on missed points anyway!<br><br>And the lion is obviously male as he's got a mane! ;) Female lions don't have any need of such "decorations" :p <p><center> <table> <tr><td nowrap style=filter:glow(color="mintcream", strength=#+15)><font color="#1010bb" size=2><b> Lira Lindriel - - - - - - - <i>Magic is real - unless defined integer!</i></b></font></td></table> <br><font size = 1><a href="http://pub88.ezboard.com/bbackyarddiscussions">Backyard Discussions</a></font> ~x~ <font size = 3><a href=http://denim.bbboy.net/lirasduchy><b><i>Lira's Duchy</i></b></a></font> ~x~ <font size = 1><a href="http://liralindriel.bbboy.net/">My poems, stories and tags</a> </font></center></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... driel>Lira Lindriel</A>  <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://liralindriel.bbboy.net/tags/catsmiley.gif" BORDER=0> at: 1/21/03 12:05:32 pm<br></i>

actually you have got that wrong killing the lion would b foolish and thats not the way to get top points, all u have to do is hold your emerald on the lions tail and he will transform in to a man, yes i said MAN and that is how i know that lion is a male and that is what i ment by giving u that clue i was trying not to give it away so easialy but oh well! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Lira knew that already <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> . It isn't really knew knowledge, after all.<br><br>However, the point was that feeding the lion isn't the obvious solution that everyone used. The first time I played, I didn't even have the food (and instead used the best solution).<br><br>There is also a fourth way to get past. <p></p><i></i>

God there is no need to gang up on me and try and belittle me i only left that post 2 help others if they wanted it cuz i know when i was playing the game i would of loved some messages left on here that would help me, so i think u got the wrong idea and maybe thought i thought i new it all and that not what im trying to do at all i just wanted to help out sorry to of offended u <p></p><i></i>

I don't think you offended anyone. If you needed help with something, you could have posted a message on this board and we would have been glad to give you hints!

4 ways? I only can think of three. Obviously the ones mentioned here. Can you give me a hint to the fourth one?<br><br>Letting the lion eat you would take care of the lion, but wouldn't be too good for Graham!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

*Obvious spoilers below*<br><br>You can...<br><br>-Kill the lion with the sword<br>-Give him the ham to make him fall asleep<br>-Disenchant him with the emerald<br>-(Never tried this one but I heard it works) Try the same tactic you did with the creature guarding the mountain cave...<br><br>Edit: Oops...you said a "hint", didn't you? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>~Wolfgang <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... s>Wolfgang Abenteuer</A> at: 1/21/03 11:18:14 pm<br></i>

<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Yes, I did say for a hint, but no worries. I tried it and it does indeed work. I must say, the lion looks very funny if you do it that way. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Yes, the lion does look funny. But, you have to be quick about it if do option 4. <p>The Knight<br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://sc.groups.msn.com/tn/EE/40/Lordo ... s/3/3a.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

Heh, I realized a bit late that I forgot the meat, so option 4 is the first thing I ended up doing. I was determined to try to use all my inventory on him to get past him (besides the sword), and the one item happened to be before the crystal. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p>------------------<br>I think therefore I am ... I think???</p><i></i>

I used the meat the first two times I got there. Since that was the best solution in the original, I just assumed it was the best solution here as well. Darn Tierra tricked me.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> It wasn't until the third time I played it that I realized there was a better choice, due to seeing hints on this forum. <p>Don't go out the same way you did the last time <br>You'll break when you fall<br>Don't make the same mistakes you did all over <br>You've got to believe in yourself this time<br></p><i></i>

Yep, Tierra was really crafty for those who played the orginal. Except, the worst solution stayed the same. <p>The Knight<br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://sc.groups.msn.com/tn/EE/40/Lordo ... s/3/3a.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

Yes, indeed.<br>I was hoping that they would get rid of the fish puzzle, though. That to me was one of the least logical puzzles in the game. I mean, after trying repeatedly to catch this fish, the next thing to do is throw it back in. Why would I do that? <p>Don't go out the same way you did the last time <br>You'll break when you fall<br>Don't make the same mistakes you did all over <br>You've got to believe in yourself this time<br></p><i></i>

There is an anternate to the puzzle. But, throwing it back is the best solution. <p>The Knight<br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://sc.groups.msn.com/tn/EE/40/Lordo ... s/3/3a.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.warofthering.net/images/movi ... nclose.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

Yeah, I know both solutions. The second one actually seems more logical to me. If I hadn't already known what I was supposed to do, it would have been easier to figure that one out, especially since it was the solution that was hinted at earlier. There was no hint that I'm aware of for solving it the "best" way. <p>Don't go out the same way you did the last time <br>You'll break when you fall<br>Don't make the same mistakes you did all over <br>You've got to believe in yourself this time<br></p><i></i>

I don't really understand it either. They hint at the best solution with dealing with Hagatha. But, not with the fish.<br><br>Look, I'm a Defense Minister. <p>The Knight<br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://sc.groups.msn.com/tn/EE/40/Lordo ... s/3/3a.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.warofthering.net/images/movi ... nclose.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

Congrats, The Knight!<br><br>Well, you made it to Defense Minister (551 posts) on 01/23/03 according to the forum clock.<br><br>If you look at your first post in <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://pub57.ezboard.com/froyalquestfor ... p=50">this thread</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->, you'll notice that your 149th post (among others) were posted on 01/10/03. You also commented later on in that thread that you would be the, and I quote, "most posting poster ever". It would appear that you have achieved that. Let's do the math, shall we?<br><br>In 13 days you've posted (roughly) 400 posts. That would be about 31 posts (rounded up) per day. There was only one day in the entire <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>history</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> of me being registered on these forums that I posted more than that and that was one of the first few days following the release of KQ2VGA. You are, uncontested, the "most posting poster ever". True, you haven't gotten as many posts as the AGDs or Erpy, nor adeyke or I (although you should have us two mods beat by tomorrow morning <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ), but you are certainly a mass-posting machine! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>So...given that equation (31 posts per day), you will only need around 81 more days to reach 2500 posts. According to my calendar, that will be on Sunday, April 13.

I think that is the source of the fish in KQ2. The benefit of "catch and release" actually occurs in many stories, and is present in the KQ series in the form of KQ5's elf...<br><br>And congrats on the status, Knight! <p></p><i></i>
