Quest For Glory Epic Let's Play Parts 110 and 111: Elderberry Pie and Good Humor Bar

In Which Our Hero bakes Baba Yaga a pie and escapes from Baba's clutches with a new sensahuma.







Marcus starts off this series with a set of stunning deaths in the swamp. One of them is mere seconds after I decided to be smart and save, which just goes to show the old adage of adventure games: SAVE OFTEN.

Out of the swamp and it's time to make Baba's pie. We've already got the first ingredient and the second one is right around the corner, so we pick up yet another vial of Grue Goo. Next stop: the Elderberry Bush. It's a bush. With eyes. And tentacles. A veritable Cthulhu bush it is.

It's not hard to get the berries. A couple of well-thrown rocks knock a branch off, and our Monkey Island item acts as a fine bait. Bam, the berries are ours. We've got ourselves a pie.

Back at Babas, we mix the berries, goo and bonemeal together (after remembering where we left it and figuring out how to get it out.) The pie is cooked by the skulls and it's off to present it to Baba.

She's happy to take it, after a brief bout as a hedgehog we're happy to give it and get the hell out of there.

The second video is a little short, as the next update will have another fortune, which is long.

Quest For Glory Epic Let's Play Part Eighty-Five: Bonsai!

In Which Our Hero gets gooey and saves a tree.





We kick off by bilking the good doctor for a healing and poison cure potion, which we'll need son enough. Then Marcus swings by the adventurer's guild for his morning workout on the stair-stepper before leaving town.

Now then, the Leshy gave us this bush-goo quest. Remember that delicate bonsai tree we saw on the way in? That's our destination. Marcus sizes up the situation, grabs some rocks, and breaks the barrier holding the tree with his elite throwing skills. That spear contest in Tarna paid off.

Now to take the Bush back to the Leshy. Marcus gets a little distracted on the way and finds Erana's Garden - where he could plant the bush now, but he wouldn't get full points. So next time, we take it to the Leshy and will return to the Garden to plant it.
