Introduction =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Ia. Game Info =============================================================================== Name - King Kong 2 (RC 745) Year - 1986 System - MSX2 Publisher - Konami / Shochiku-Fuji / De Laurentiis Entertainment Group Inc. Format - MegaROM (1MBIT) Sound - PSG Genre - RPG/Adventure Languages - Japanese, (French and English translations) Konami officially only released this game with japanese language. There are two translations to my knowledge. A group called V.O.S.T.F. translated the game to French. In 2000 Imanok (David Fernandez) created an english translation based on the french translation. In 2005 he did an english re-translation based on the original japanese version because the french translation was completely made up! =============================================================================== Ib. FAQ Introduction =============================================================================== I decided to create this FAQ because after nearly 20 years after its release this game still holds me in his grip everytime I play it. It is so addictive I decided to gather all information known about this game and put it all in one big FAQ. Because I couldn't find one single complete walkthrough I created it from scratch. This FAQ will mostly be read by people who already finished it once or almost in the past and start to replay it and get stuck (it happened to me too). The first time I finished this game was about a month after its release after countless of hours behind my MSX2 and countless sleepless nights figuring out how to solve the puzzles. It was so damn hard because I couldn't understand the japanese language. Now with the english re-translation it's much easier. If you play this game for the first time you have yourself a great time. I hope you like it as much as I do. =============================================================================== Ic. Story =============================================================================== You are Mitchel. You start the game getting off a boat in the lands of Golnebo. Your mission is to find LADY KONG. She is KING KONG's only hope for survival. KING KONG was shot and desperately needs a blood transfusion in order to have an artificial heart implanted. On your way you will have to solve many riddles and puzzles. Natives who live in cabins throughout the land will give you tips to help you solve them. You will also encounter many enemies and bosses. Deal with them before they can deal with you. Good luck! =============================================================================== Id. Movie Comparisons =============================================================================== Plot summary for "King Kong Lives" aka "King Kong 2" at IMDB.com (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091344/) A giant ape King Kong, which was shot and fell off the World Trade Center, appears to be alive, but is in coma for 10 years and desperately needs a blood transfusion in order to have an artificial heart implanted. Suddenly, in the rainforest, another gigantic ape is found - this time a female. She is brought to the USA, and the heart is successfully implanted. But then King Kong, having felt a female ape, breaks loose... I recently saw the first "King Kong" from 1933 which is a classic in my opinion. I also saw "King Kong Lives" recently, overall the movie is pretty bad! (luckily the game isn't!) To most king kong fans this movie is the worst version ever to be put on screen. A few comparisons can be made with the movie: 1. Both movie and game were released in the same year (1986) 2. The main character's name is the same. (Hank) Mitchel(l). Probably not enough room in the game screen for his full name :-) 3. There is also a "Lady Kong" and "Baby Kong" in both movie and game (ending). 4. The game title screen mentions De Laurentiis Entertainment Group Inc. as publisher which refers to Dino De Laurentiis who is the executive producer of the movie. 5. Amy (played by Linda Hamilton) operated on Kong as mentioned in the game ending although with a very different purpose. Be sure to check out Peter Jackson's multi million dollar budget remake of King Kong, it's destined to be a huge hit! As a tribute this FAQ is released on the same date as the movie hits the theaters. =============================================================================== II. Game Basics =============================================================================== =============================================================================== IIa. Game Controls =============================================================================== Cursor Keys - Walk around and move around the inventory screen F1 - Pause F2 - Inventory screen (Equip weapons/items/shoes) F4 - Save Game (Only when using cart combination, see section IIc) F5 - Continue after you die (Avoid this as much as possible) Load Game (Only when using cart combination, see section IIc) ESC - Quits the load screen. Spacebar - SHOT-1 (Attack with fists or attack using weapon when equipped) Continue dialog Equip (in inventory screen) Shift - SHOT-2 (Use item when equipped) 1,2,3 - Used for dialog in the shop cabins. =============================================================================== IIb. Game Stats =============================================================================== DAYS - A day counts 45 seconds. (Important for the endings, see section IId) LIFE - Life points Starts at 30 and increases by 5 after gaining a level. Life points are replenished when you die and use a CONTINUE EXP - Experience points You'll gain experience points after defeating enemies and bosses, however when your experience is high enough some enemies won't give you experience points anymore. The amount of life an enemy or boss boss has is turned into experience points after defeating it. LEVEL - After every 100 experience points your level will increase by 1. With every level your maximum life points will increase by 5. Your life points will NOT be refilled after gaining a level. MP - Magic points Needed to use magic scrolls. Your get MP when you defeat BUCKLERS or GRASSOGRE. Magic points are NOT replenished when you die and use a CONTINUE GOLD - Needed to buy things in cabins. Several enemies drop moneybags. The best place to collect gold is at the small pond with POISNFROG near the beginning of the game. SPEED - This is located in the inventory screen After you've reached level 10 (1000 EXP) you are allowed to increase your speed. Use the spacebar to switch speeds. Level 10 = SPEED 01, Level 20 = SPEED 02, Etc... =============================================================================== IIc. Cartridge Combination Info =============================================================================== You can save and load this game to tape if you have Hinotori (Firebird), another game by konami (RC 747). You have to put Hinotori in cartridge slot 1 and King Kong 2 in Slot 2. Hinotori searches for King Kong 2 and executes it. With this done pressing F4 during the game allows you to save the game to tape. F5 is used for loading. =============================================================================== IId. Endings =============================================================================== Thanks to Manuel Pazos we now know there are actually three endings in this game, the only factors of importance are DAYS and CONTINUES. Ending #1 (Best) - Finish the game in less then 365 DAYS (Hard Difficulty) and use less then 33 CONTINUES. Ending #2 (Good) - Finish the game in less then 365 DAYS (Medium Difficulty) and use 33 CONTINUES or more. Ending #3 (Bad) - Finish the game in more then 365 DAYS (Easy Difficulty) =============================================================================== IIe. Areas =============================================================================== The land of Golnebo can be divided into 8 different areas. Area #1 (The Grasslands) - The beginning, the part between CLUBMAN and GRIZZLY. Area #2 (The Mountains) - Everything behind CLUBMAN until RED SPIDER. Area #3 (The Forest) - Everything behind GRIZZLY. Area #4 (The Marsh) - Everything behind RED SPIDER until the TWINMIRES and THE NASTY. Area #5 (The Ruins) - Everything behind THE NASTY until the CROW and above MR RUINS (to the landing field). Area #6 (The Sea) - Everything behind the CROW. Area #7 (The Golden Temple) - Everything inside the golden temple. Area #8 (The Dark Mountains) - Everything beyond the TWINMIRES and MR RUINS. Note: There is a very good map available on the internet created by Luiz Fernando Villela. It is in JPG format and covers all areas including the cellars, the golden temple (including its secret areas) and where to find all the weapons and items. You can find it here: http://www.geocities.com/msxgamer It has many more maps from other MSX games. Update: Released on January 7th, 2005 there is now a (better) map available created by Fabio Albergaria Dias. It is in PNG format and includes everything the other map has and more! Most noticable the enemy names and all the cellars! You can find it here: http://msxsolutions.msxblue.com It has many more maps from other MSX games, and is updated regularly. =============================================================================== III. Walkthrough =============================================================================== =============================================================================== IIIa. Normal Walkthrough =============================================================================== First of all a few notes regarding this walkthrough. When it tells "Walk (N, W, S)" it means: "Walk one screen to the North, then one to the West and then one screen to the South". Accordingly "Walk (NE, 2W)" means: "Walk out of the screen in the Northeast part of the screen and then 2 screens to the West" When it tells "Level up here until level 20" it means: "Kill the creatures here for experience points until your EXP meter reads 2000 or more" Walking away 2 or more screens away from the creatures will mostly replenish them. You need to backtrack often in this game, since this is too much for "Walk (E, N, W, Etc...)" I will mostly give you AREA or BOSS locations to backtrack to. All words written in CAPITAL mean names of enemies, bosses, weapons or items in the game. All text in this walkthrough is based on the english re-translation. Now to the real walkthrough! You start getting off a boat. Enter the cabin to get your mission objective. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | MISSION OBJECTIVE ACQUIRED | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Welcome to Golnebo.. | | | | So you must find LADY KONG?

Walk (E), kill the 3 PIGWORM and then enter the cabin. This cabin happens to be a shop. ******************************************************************************* * SHOP #1 DIALOG * * * * We're dealers.

Congratulations!! you just finished KING KONG 2, watch one of the three endings according to the ammount of DAYS and CONTINUES you used (section IId). Note: In the english translation only the good ending is translated, the other two are still in french. The endings in the english re-translation are completely in english. =============================================================================== IIIb. Best Ending Walkthrough =============================================================================== Before you start trying to obtain the Best Ending I advise you finish the game at least once using the Normal Walkthrough. Your main concern during this guide is the amount of CONTINUES you use. Stay below 33 to get the Best Ending. Staying below 365 DAYS should be fairly easy. This walkthrough only describes the actions NECESSARY to complete the game, many obsolete things are left out for speed. Avoid as many enemies as possible and try to level up preferably only in places where you can't get hit leveling up (I'll mention those places in the walkthrough). If you need MP get it from the GRASSOGRE in stead of the BUCKLER because it's hard to hit the BUCKLER from behind without getting hit. If you have the luxury to save using the cart combination, don't hesitate to save alot and replay a part if you think you can do it in less CONTINUES. Optionally for the PC owners you can use a MSX emulator with a save state feature such as BlueMSX or BrMSX to make your life much easier in obtaining the Best Ending. To the walkthrough! Walk (N,W,N,E,N,W) and push the rock over the GRASSOGRE to kill them. You need to kill 15 GRASSOGRE to get a new weapon. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | NEW WEAPON ACQUIRED: ROD | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Equip the ROD and walk (N) and focus on the 3 RATT, kill them and they will drop an item. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | NEW ITEM ACQUIRED: HERB | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Be sure to have at least 5 HERB when leaving this area, but I advise you to pile up ALOT of HERB here.

I don't know why there wasn't any fence (maybe because I didn't use a single continue until this point) Update: I checked if it had to do with continues, I rushed to this point from the beginning without using a continue but the fence was closed so maybe you need to follow a specific pattern before coming here (without using a continue). Now backtrack to where you killed RED SPIDER and walk (N,2E,N,E,S) and enter the cabin below the KONG statue for a new item. /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | NEW ITEM ACQUIRED: KONG'S FANG | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Use it to open the fence in the cellar in the grasslands. | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Backtrack to the lower left corner of the grasslands and enter the cellar.
