I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it in pages 13-60, but the Troll Cave in Kings Quest IV deserves a special mention in a series filled with ridiculous stunts (look in' at you, KQ3!). Basically, at one point of the game you have to traverse a pitch black series of caves. No problem - grab a lantern and head right through four screens. However, at any point during this you might get grabbed and killed by the titular troll (complete with a useless 'look out for the troll, Rosella!'). In the first three screens you might get a warning roar, but in the fourth screen there's no warning at all. The troll isn't the worse bit, though. On the fourth screen there's a chasm. Not that you'd know, though, because this pitch black chasm is drawn across a pitch black screen, and so your first encounter with it is when you inevitably fall down it. To cross it, you need to place a plank across it, which means getting close enough to the bloody thing to place it without ending up in it or being eaten (without warning) in the process. 5 minutes later, you get to do it all again!

I'm just going to leave this one right here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UHpSkfaeHIU There are plenty of other instances where Cedric the Useless Owl warns you far, far too late, but he really loving shines here.
