KQ8 Map Feature

Post by madwill »

There is always a small map in a small box in the lower right hand corner of the screen which when clicked on becomes a big map in a big box in the centre of the screen.

Today, whilst it was in big version mode, I somehow inadvertently "shrank" the map so that now when I click to get the big version in the centre of the screen I get the big box alright but with only a small map inside

Does anyone know how I can get the big map back ??

I would very much appreciate any help, thanks :?

Right click and drag the mouse on the map.

Ahhhh, I had tried that without success - but hadn't sheathed my weapon !! :oops:

Thank you very much, Collector !! :)

One other thing, if you don't mind ....

Since acquiring the hammer, I no longer have my crossbow :blink:
Is the hammer a permanent replacement ??

Yes. You can have only one ranged and one hand weapon at a time.

I'm a good way through the Swamp area now but have just realised I don't have any "red potions of reveal" and apparently I will need one later .... in the Frozen region :ermm:

Will I find another before then ?? And if not, is there a cheat I can use to get one ??
[I looked at some cheats this morning but that potion isn't listed.]

[ have only ever used these reveal potions when directed to by walkthroughs but I'm wondering now if I've missed picking one up somewhere :roll: ]

I'm really enjoying the game and would certainly like to finish it - for the first time EVER !! :lol:

Found out to use "Clarity" as a cheat to get a Red Reveal Potion !! [Saved !! ;-)]
