YMMV / A Tale of Two Kingdoms

Go To

  • Awesome Music: The game contains many awesome tracks, and a jukebox can be downloaded. Notable ones are 'Confounded,' 'Hymn to Geraint,' 'Branwyn's March,' and some more.
  • I Am Not Shazam: The second of the two kingdoms is the faerie realm of Thierna Na Oge, not the invading goblins. A few of the reviews got this wrong.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The barghest, literally.
  • That One Puzzle: Entering Thierna Na Oge. The Pooka gives you a choice of six magical artifacts: a dragon scale to dispel fire, a feather to dispel wind, a shark tooth to dispel water, a claw to dispel earth, a bat wing to dispel night, or a leaf to dispel wood. Maeldun must take two of them and dispel doorways, moving along the paths to find a ruby, sapphire, emerald and topaz on pedestals, and then put the gems in the proper pedestal based on the color of the room. The trick is that there is no way to tell which combination is correct without brute force, and some doorways simply drop the player back off in the same room. While there is a way to skip it with the wishing well, the player must do it to gain a perfect score, as solving the puzzle gives Wisdom, and the wish for the wishing well gives honor when you make a wish for Branwyn.
