Q : King's Quest VI How to get swamp ooze

[Hans Pattenier]

Hi all,

I've freed the king and queen but I'm stuck for many hours now.
I think I need the swamp ooze. How do I get it?

Get a rotten tomato from the screen north of the swamp. Talk to the
stick-in-the-mud over and over. Give tomato to log. The
stick-in-the-mud will throw back the swamp ooze.

Good luck

Oh no, this is terrible. Weeks ago I threw the rotten tomato to
stick-in-the mud.
This resulted in Bump-on-a-log and Stick-in-the-mud making peace and
falling asleep. I would *never* have found this solution in the
situation I'm in now.
I *HATE* adventures in which you can do things wrong without knowing it!

I'll have to replay a lot now.
Perhaps there's an alternative solution. (Sierra says many puzzles have
2 solutions)
I think that I need the swamp-ooze to get in the castle. Perhaps there's
another way
to get into the castle?

Thanks for the quick response.

Were you satisfied when they both fell asleep? I was not so I tried
someting else directly (restored the former savegame first offcourse).
You should have been alerted by the fact that you couldn't add
anything to your inventory by letting them fall asleep. That's the way
Sierra builds it's story lines.

Maybe there's another tomato? Nah, guess not :-(

Not in the story-line you are in, I think.

Good luck again!

BTW, don't you think stick-in-the-mud looks a lot like the saucage
from the BIFI-commercial.

Leuke Engels-oefening trouwens ;-)

Actually I thought that making them asleep was quite an accomplisment.
I'm not sure, but I think I even got a point for it!
I expected that I had to climb the dogwood-tree to get the ooze.
Note how it's branche hangs over to stick-in-the-mud. Probably s
stick-in-the-mud wouldn't allow me to take the mud, but now that
he's asleep it shouldn't be a problem.
Because the tree barks each time I want to climb it, I've been looking
for a bone ever since. I even tried the skeleton key (made of bone) on
the tree.

(And now, just some Dutch)
Inderdaad een goede oefening in het engels. Ik vraag me ook wel af
waar die message allemaal doorheen gaat, voordat ie die paar kilometer
heeft afgelegd.

Groetjes,

I'm not sure I understand your position, but I think you're but one step
away from getting your ooze. If you've managed to create a mud-fight, there
should be some swamp ooze on the log, which you can take with the cup.

I checked it yesterday: I didn't get a point. Sorry
