Expert: Jan Eskes Date: 7/11/2006 Subject: King's Quest VII - AHH WEREFOREST and Rosella :(
Question Hi Jan,
I tried what you suggested, and used the defoliant on the werebear. But all that happens is that the werebear grabs Rosella over and over again and she screams "no". Basically, it's a looped animation (I think it's another bug/glitch) soooo I don't know what to do :( I've saved the game up to the point where Rosella leaves Malicia's house and puts on the cloak. I've been exiting the game without saving it after that point because I didn't want to lose the sling I had made with the silver pellet and stocking in case I needed it once the bug was fixed. Sooooo yes! What should I do? I'd really like to get out of Ooga Booga! It's creepy O_O Falderal's so much prettier *cries*

Hi Jan!
I've been playing King's Quest VII on Windows XP-- it took me lots of googling to figure out how to make it work. For a second, I was so scared that it wouldn't run on my computer! Anyways, I've got up to Chapter 4 and I'm experiencing that lockup when Rosella walks through the forest with the werebear. I use the sling, and the bear runs away, and I make it into Falderal but halfway across the grassy screen, right after the bear tears off Rosella's black cloak, she disappears and you can hear her being attacked by the werebear. I've tried using the patch (though I'm not sure what game version I have) but it hasn't done anything.
I've only run the kq7pat.exe file and done nothing else, so am I missing something? I really hope you can help me out, it seems you're really good at this sort of thing! :D

Hi Ingrid,
You need to get the Defoliant from Dr. Cadavers House. You have to use it VERY quickly when the monster comes. Here's an excellent walkthrough if you need to know how to get the defoliant. Good luck!
Answer Ingrid,
Here's what Sierra has to say about your problem:
Problem: The game loops or locks up in Chapter 4 when Rosella is trying to get past the werebeast.
Solution: You need the King's Quest VII patch disk, KQ7PAT. The patch can be downloaded from www.sierra.com/support/technical/updates/content.html.
