01.) INTRODUCTION G0100
===============================================================================
Welcome to 'Space Quest: The Sarien Encounter' for the PC, an adventure game
released by Sierra in 1986.
This is the first game of the long-running series. It was also released on
several other platforms such as the Amiga, AppleII and Atari ST.
The walkthrough for this game is complete and includes a point list. By
following the walkthrough you will also get all points in the game. If you spot
any errors or have suggestions please feel free to e-mail me about it. Enjoy!
===============================================================================
02.) BASICS G0200
===============================================================================
Control your character with the arrow keys, Home, End, Page Up/Down or use
the Numpad keys.
F1 = Help
F2 = Sound On/Off
F3 = ReType
F4 = Inventory
F5 = Save
F6 = Fire Weapon
F7 = Load
F9 = Restart
Alt+Z = Quit
The game does not care much for grammar and instead of "LOOK AT THE POD" you
can simply type "LOOK POD". This guide uses working inputs but you can replace
them with different words the game understands (e.g. 'get' instead of 'take').
If the game doesn't understand something it will tell you. Only at a few points
during the game it is picky about the words you chose for an action. All
commands in the guide are in CAPS. You might notice sometimes the guide also
lacks grammar at times, this is intentional because the commands are also
lacking them and it is easier to come across if ignored.
The number in the ()s is the amount of points you get during the game. They
are listed again in the point list for a quick overview.
===============================================================================
03.) WALKTHROUGH G0300
===============================================================================
___Arcada___
------
You start with the station's alarm going off. If at any point you enter a
corridor or room and 'you hear footsteps approaching' quickly leave the area or
enter an elevator and come back or you'll be found by the invading forces.
Walk left twice and back right one time. When the scientist limps in, LOOK MAN
(2) and he'll give you the name you need. LOOK MONITOR at the computer and type
in ASTRAL BODIES. TAKE CART (5) after it has arrived and go left twice. SEARCH
MAN and TAKE CARD (1). Walk right, down the elevator, another one and then east
again. At the controls type in PUSH OPEN (2) and go right one more screen. USE
CARD on the slot (2) and ride the elevator. At the closets, PUSH LEFT and TAKE
GADGET (2), then PUSH RIGHT and TAKE SUIT (2). At the console PUSH BUTTON and
enter the platform on the left. PUSH BUTTON (1) to raise the escape pod and
ENTER POD from the left hand side. CLOSE DOOR, FASTEN SEATBELT, PUSH POWER and
PULL LEVER to escape Arcada (15). When you regain control, PUSH AUTOPILOT (2)
to land on the planet Kerona.
___Kerona___
------
If you spend too much time in this area you'll die of thirst. This shouldn't be
a problem but just so you know. Some PCs are set too fast and the game thinks
more time has past, thus making this area problematic. There is an unofficial
fix out there if you need it.
After you have landed, UNFASTEN BELT and TAKE KIT (2). EXIT and walk in front
of the ship to TAKE GLASS (3). Go right three times and up the ramp. Cross the
bridge and stop behind the large rock here. If you walk across the bridge too
often it will break so don't. Wait until a spider arrives and walks between the
two green plants and just underneath you. PUSH ROCK to smash it (5). Now follow
the path up until you get between an archway. Go through and you'll end up in a
secret cave. TAKE ROCK and walk left one screen. Move across the grid at the
top to avoid the monster grabbing you and PUT ROCK ON GEYSER (4). Go north, to
the back of the cave and left. HOLD GLASS IN BEAM (5) to get past. At the next
screen you need to avoid the 3 lines of acid drops (3). TURN ON DIAL GADGET and
enter the final doorway. After the scene, walk down and cross the bridge. Down
the ramp and up one screen. OPEN KIT to find water. Go into the cave on the
right and THROW WATER (5) to kill Orat. TAKE PART (2) he dropped and go back
into the secret cave avoiding the green monster's arms and the acid drops. When
you are back in the room with the large projection, DROP PART (10) and go into
the light. When you are back in control, PUT CART IN SLOT (5) and read the
message. TAKE CART (5) again and ENTER SKIMMER on the right. TURN KEY to drive
off.
The next part is a little difficult. You'll need to avoid the rocks by steering
left and right and after four hits you are history. Try to save when you see
nothing in front of you. After a short while you'll end up at Ulence Flats
(25).
___Ulence Flats___
------------
TAKE KEY and LEAVE SKIMMER. A man will arrive and offer you $30 for your
skimmer but ignore him and walk into the bar. Leave and wait for the man to
return and offer you $30 and a jetpack. YES (5) and he'll drive off a happy
buyer. Back in the bar, BUY BEER at the counter and DRINK BEER. Repeat two more
times and you overhear a conversation about HH (5). Stand next to the arcade
machine to play.
SLOTS
#####
F4 = Bet $1
F6 = Bet $2
F8 = Bet $3
F10 = Cash Out
Cherry = 1x
Cherry Cherry = 2x
Cherry Cherry Cherry = 3x
Eye Eye Eye = 10x
Diamond Diamond Diamond = 20x
Skull Skull Skull = Game Over
Save each time you win and restore if you don't. Even by betting $3 it can take
a while but with luck you should get a few Eyes/Diamond to speed up the
process. When you have $250 the machine will have a fatal error and stop
working. Exit the bar, go north and east. Enter the shop and follow the owner
up the stairs. BUY ROBOT (4) in front of the white one. Leave the shop, go left
twice, down and back up so the seller follows you. BUY SHIP (4) and CLIMB
LADDER. PUSH BUTTON to get the robot in as well. You want it to navigate to
sector HH. You'll soon arrive at the Deltaur (25).
___Deltaur___
-------
WEAR JETPACK and LEAVE SHIP. Fly to the door and OPEN DOOR when you are close,
then go inside (1). Wait at the door for a robot to come through and go past
it. OPEN TRUNK and ENTER TRUNK (3). After you've been moved OPEN TRUNK and OPEN
MACHINE. ENTER MACHINE (5) and you'll get a Sarien uniform. Go right and TALK
MAN (1). Talk to him until he asks you if you own King's Quest II and reply YES
(5). KISS MAN (1) and enter the left elevator. Walk left and ride the elevator
up here. Go right three times, LOOK SUIT and SHOW ID to the robot. Quickly TAKE
GRENADE (1) while he's gone and get the rifle when he returns. Exit left and
DROP GRENADE (5) on the guard below. Return right and SHOW ID, TAKE GRENADE (1)
while it's gone. No go all the way left until you lose your helmet. Guards will
shoot you from now but you can shoot back with F6. This must be done very
quickly. You can also enter and exit an area if you see a guard or a robot. The
first guard you shoot is worth points (3). Go down the elevator and go right to
the end. SEARCH MAN (3) and PUSH BUTTON (3) on the guard. Now go up to the
generator and LOOK PANEL. Use the controls to enter 6858 and click Enter. You
don't actually see the numbers on screen. When you are finished, go right and
down the elevator. Take the other elevator down (1) and ENTER SHIP, then PUSH
BUTTON (3) to fly off.
Watch the ending. Enjoy!
