Bro...I'm so SOOO happy I took the day off today. You literally made this the best day off ever. Thank you for EVERYTHING you do...the time and effort is insane, and if you didn't love doing this, you wouldn't be doing this. I hope you level up to over 1 million subscribers soon, and can make enough to do this full time to sustain your family and yourself comfortably. Thank you for sharing your passion and dreams with us.
Just finished the video finally, when I wrote my comment, that was at the beginning of it, knowing what you must have went through...did you throw a controller at the wall trying to get thr staff of reflection hahahaha, thank you to your wife and puppers. I watched this simultaneously as I played the moble version which is the snes updated one with the personality options too, which adds to the depth, but there is just something about the original witch is soooo much better and more charming. You have a life long subscriber here..I'll help you to add views and subscribers whenever I can I recommend you. No 90s kid or modern rpg player will be complete without you sir! Never change and when you feel your most frustration..please always remember the joy you are bringing into the world with all you do!
The most dreadful of all poltergeists. Behold: BOOB! 😂😊 Your work on all of your videos is absolutely splendid and I wish you continues success, UCBVG. This is some of the most enjoyable content I watch these days and always look forward to the detailed analyses on these gaming classics!
Baramos Bomus and Baramos Gonus are actually the dead remains of Baramos separated into a pile of meat and a pile of bones, then raised as undead by Zoma. That's pretty wicked and a little rad, actually!
I always interpreted it as his "ghost" and his "body," both having been forced by Zoma into one last-ditch effort to stop the hero. Your way is certainly more evil, and fitting for the archfiend, haha. Either way, it's a great piece of dialogue-free storytelling.
I found that putting the hero in the last spot in the formation helps alot. His higher DEF and HPs helps overcome the inability to use the parry/attack.
I agree, especially towards the end of the game when so many enemies use Magic or Breath attacks, having high HP and some armor pieces that reduce magic damage make the Hero especially good in the last slot. The only one better is a high level Soldier that was converted from a spell casting class and is wearing the Hades Armor which reduces magic damage by 75%.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames I always started with a Wizard and converted to a Soldier so he can Bikill himself. Early game, leaned on the poison needle for physical attacks and especially hunting metal slimes to get enough levels to cast Bikill, then swap out for Soldier to equip the big equipment. Since Fighter falls off, she gets turned into the Sage so the phenomenal AGI score means my healer always goes first for panic-healing.
This by far was a big undertaking considering I didn't even realize this was the 100th game to tackle, so I can see why this was the game to make the 100th completed game. The amount of detail that you put over the near 12 hours and 3 part guide is by far the best video or online guide that I have ever seen, which is understandable why this took nearly a month of work to undertake. All this to say, I have followed this channel since pretty early on your existence thanks largely to karmajolt more than a year and a half ago from Castlevainia, and to see the evolution of this channel from there to now is something to behold because early on, it was simple yet easy games to cover, but to what has now evolved into much more today. Honestly can't wait when Dragon Warrior/Quest 4 is covered in the future to see how much more evolved this channel becomes. Anyhow congratulations on completing your 100th game with this mammoth undertaking, and continued success to your next 100, because I'll be here for that undertaking when you get there in a year or so 😉💖👍
Interesting note, if you confuse an enemy and it strikes a metal babble, at least on the switch version, it isn't reduced to 1 damage, so the bears can actually one-shot the metal babbles. Can be done on first turn if you're fast and lucky enough.
Wild that you did this project. I am consistently impressed at how fresh your commentary stays despite having to almost constantly speak over hours of gameplay. I know you just finished a long RPG, but I’d like to make a suggestion - Shining Force and Shining Force 2 for the Genesis. There are tons of secret items and characters in those games and a lot to dissect, which seems right up your alley.
I would absolutely love to watch UCBVG do both of those two games. Those are some of my favorite games ever, especially SF2, which I go back and play through every couple years.
Dude. I still can't believe you took on this game. This was absolutely incredible. DQ3 was easily my favorite of the OG DQ games. Still have my copy. Thank you for all of the effort you (and your wife) put into this!!
The spell that goes off when using the Sword of Kings as an item in battle is Infermost, not Firevolt. Thor's Sword (a rare drop from certain monsters) is the one that casts Firevolt.
What a joy this was to watch all the way through. You do such a great job of filling air space. It was funny to hear you at the very end of the credits just give everything room and add little silences. Bravo. I kept thinking of all the behind-the-scenes work this must have taken to put together. I reckon I am only imagining part of it! Congratulations on the success!
That ending hits me in the gut everytime. I absolutely love this game! I've been a fan of Dragon Quest since the first and your guide didn't disappoint. Very well done. Thank you for the adventure!
Hello You Can Beat Video Games, thank you 🙏 for awesome content! The best retro gaming channel with tips guides and strategic advice in how to beat notorious Nintendo games!
I spend even MORE then that on the Remakes just grinding 3x Sages ASAP to like lv 40+ even against Metal Slime types can take hours and still take hours for 3x lv 80+ Thieves in order to run away from everything. So I spend almost DOUBLE those 30 hours on the remakes.
@@FourBudgies87 no I know. He speeds it up a few times grinding, I was just in awe i though the original final fantasy was long lol. Massive undertaking. Lmao.
@@veghesther3204 I never played any in the series except the second one thru the first episodes conclusion, then got bored waiting for the finale. I just never expected it to have so much left after this second episode. It’s gotta be one of the largest nes games.
@@veghesther3204 I just got done playing the GBC version & grinding for all the monster medals (Just enough to get through the Silver door). Only had to fight GranDragon twice, beat him in 17 turns the 1st time (got the Rubiss Sword), then in 15 turns the 2nd time, got his set of medals, then said I'm done with this game. Didn't have the patience to go for all the Gold medals (fuck that shit). I've also done a LP of the SNES version & did a solo run & defeated Baramos, Zoma & even Divinegon solo. Definitely one of the best old school RPGs out there.
Over the past 25 years, I have always enjoyed talking with other people about this game - especially hearing how everyone pronounces the names of the towns differently! XD
I played this game so much as a kid, too. I didn't know about Final Fantasy; I knew about Dragon Warrior. One of my family friends played a lot of video games and he'd let me borrow them after he beat them. He had the Dragon Warrior games and I really enjoyed Dragon Warrior 2 and 3. I was very happy to find a game where even if I got stuck, I could still level and both games had a lot of help so you didn't get stuck that often. I definitely followed the guides strictly, though. The first party I beat the game with was the recommended party of Hero/Soldier/Pilgrim/Wizard with the Wizard converted into a sage. On my subsequent playthrough, I did Hero/Soldier/Pilgrim->Sage/Wizard->Pilgrim. I did try converting the casters to soldiers later so I'd have Hero/Soldier/Pilgrim->Sage->Soldier/Wizard->Pilgrim->Soldier, but I generally preferred not converting them to Soldiers. Once I was pretty experienced with the game, I'd do a bit more varied parties like Hero/Fighter/Fighter/Pilgrim->Sage or Hero/Fighter/Pilgrim->Sage/Wizard->Pilgrim and sometimes I'd convert the Fighter to a Soldier so I'd have a Soldier with agility. If I knew how the drop tables worked, I probably would've farmed strength, agility, and luck to 255 via seeds for the whole party, too.
This was for many years my favorite game in the series. It's been overtaken by Dragon Quest XI, but I do still love it. Thank you for this incredibly comprehensive guide to a great game.
It’s astounding how much detail you go into, really appreciate it. I actually enjoy how you repeat crucial info multiple times, it can seem redundant but it’s important.
Whaaaaaaat a mid-week upload? UCBVG, you *spoil* us! All jokes aside, thank you for doing this. This is the game that got me into the Dragon Quest series, and so I enormously appreciate seeing it explored, explained, and done justice.
Congrats on 100 games here! BTW, I dunno if anyone else puts the closed captioning on, but I'm highly amused by you sailing to Olive Garden! 😁😁 ( 12:31 and on 🤣🤣🤣)
Best guide for the best NES RPG, period. Give the doggos extra treats tonight; they earned their keep with this series! Love your work, man. Enjoy a fun, easy game next like Darkwing Duck or Snow Bros. And if you tackle DW4 later on, at least consider using the Game Genie code that disables the AI control in Ch 5. It makes the game a LOT more fun and allows you to reasonably use characters that under AI control become near worthless (glares in Nara and Cristo's direction).
This has been my favorite guide do far. I am a huge Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest fan. Dragon Warrior 4 is my favorite game of all time. I know it might be a while, but I can't wait for it!!
Congrats on 100 games! I love that a Dragon Quest/Warrior game made it as the milestone; this was always one of my favorite series. I was first introduced to it when I received a copy of Dragon Warrior free with my subscription to Nintendo Power magazine. Having received the D&D red box set a few years previously, I was already hooked on the sci-fi and fantasy genres. This just broke it open completely. My next door neighbor and I would spend hours and hours either playing a Dragon Warrior game or D&D. We even jotted down ideas for a future DQ installment (sadly never completed). Though my NES is long gone, I now have the mobile versions on my tablet, as well as a copy of XI S on my computer. The newer versions of Dragon Warrior III bring in the personality system, which added so much new content to an already beloved game. Over the last few years I had even been working on a 5e conversion for the Dragon Quest universe. It has been back-burnered as life has picked up steam, but every once in a while I pull it up and think on it for a bit.
Excellent series of videos. Recently played through this game after years of not playing it, and most of the memory I had of it (e.g. where to go and when) was gone. This walkthrough helped me greatly. These videos were evenly-paced with great explanations of abilities, items, enemies, etc. I only hope to see more and more of this series on classic RPGs for NES and SNES. Very nicely done!
I was drinking from a bottle of Coke when I heard, "Can you imagine fighting a giant monster, and then you, like, throw a handful of Tylenol in his face, and watching it writhe in agony?" Sufficed to say, I am now wearing Coke on my shirt. I also can't believe I watched this entire series, especially when I never played any of the Dragon Warrior games, but your narration is so damn soothing to listen to! This guide is incredible. :D
Oh man im SO happy this is out!! Ive been craving the rest of this walkthrough, it reminds me of the days spent watching an older sibling/cousin play through classic rpgs. Thank you SO much for continuing this until the end, its a LONG game so I cant even begin to imagine the time it takes to put this together. Your are a youtube hero. This channel means a lot to me.
Congratulations on clearing the 100th game for the channel! The breakdown of you give for everything the first time is god-tier work! I hope success continue to head your way!
Congratulations on 100 completed games! Finally finished watching this; wanted to save it for a lazy Sunday. As always, you give enough running jokes and technical insight to make something potentially boring (like grinding) into pure entertainment. Long games, short games, whichever you can put out, we'll be here! Also, special thanks to all of your assistants for making this possible.
The timeline goes like this. DQ XI > DQ III > DQ I Dragon Quest I splits the timeline with Dragon Quest II happening if you refuse the offer and then Builders 2. Builders 1 happens on the timeline where the hero accepts the offer and somehow merges with Builders 2.
Another amazing game in the books. And this time it is No. 100. How fitting. Congratulations. 🎉🎊 Thank you so much for your and your wifes work and effort. It is always enjoyable watching your videos. They always cheer me up. :)
Thank you sir for all that you do. I've been around since almost the beginning it amazing to see how not only the channel grow but how much more comfortable you have grown. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into the videos. It brings me joy to watch you crush the games. Congrats on 100 games beaten and here's to the next 100!!!
Great series. There is another quick level up in the underworld. With Goopies, let them live and cast a few increases and bikills on everyone. Then let the Goopies continue to summon Granite Titans. I've had 60,000+exp in one fight, very satisfying.
I must thank you for introducing me to this absolute masteriece of a video game. I had so much fun playing this title, and it's many different versions (Super Famicom version turned out to be my all-time favourite), fun I would've missed, if it wasn't for your channel. You have a particular knack for making a game interesting. Massive kudos, for all the great job, that you do, keep up the fine work.
Thank you so much for this UCBVG! Your Dragon Warrior videos encouraged me to check out the Dragon Quest series and I've become a HUGE fan now! I've been rewatching your whole DW series about 15 minutes at a time over the past few months when I do my stretches every morning, and I was really hoping you might get to DW4 before I reached the end, but I just finished this one this morning, so I might just go back and rewatch from the beginning haha Reminds me of when I was a kid watching Dragon Ball on Toonami, hoping they'd release new episodes after Goku arrived on Namek, only for them to start over from Raditz. Still loved it then and still love it now! Thank you again for these videos!
Baramos Gonus has a higher Attack than weak Zoma..... +40 more actually. I never fought Strong Zoma so I didn't know he hit a ton harder! THANK YOU SO MUCH for this great trio of videos!
Due to just how epic this series was i had to respectfully watch until the end. Had to give my due to the amount of work this one had to take to create. Heck it took me 3 days to finish watching it
I am so happy to have recently discovered this channel. Touring through your catalogue has been a wonderful blast of nostalgia and has me itching to replay - and introduce to my kids - some of these classics again today. Thanks so much for all your hard work and terrific presentation. I look forward to watching the many more of your videos I've yet to see, and especially those that await in the future!
Big congratulations on beating your 100th game. Seeing this was a huge undertaking without a doubt, let alone an influential RPG title. Keep on the great content. Hopefully I'll like to see you tackling these shorter games: Super Mario Land - Game Boy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan - Game Boy Streets of Rage - Genesis
Very much enjoyed all the videos on this game. Very great work. 10+ hours shows real dedication. Looking forward to your next videos and waiting to see destiny of an emperor conquered by you
I’m supposed to use words here to express how wonderful and fun this series has been, but I really don’t have them. Instead I’ll talk about what DQ means to me. DQ has always been my go to for RPGs. From the moment I laid eyes on Dragon Warrior as my friend John played it at his house, I knew this was the game series I wanted to play. I’ve played them all and never feel anything but wonder and joy at experiencing everything this series has to offer. I can’t adequately express what UCBVG does for me, but it fills my heart with happiness and excitement whenever I see it pop up in my feed. I always look forward to the next Archfiend who needs a beating and all the video games I can beat. Thank you for all 100 games and everything that will follow.
Thanks for the kind words, Casey! The first time I played Dragon Warrior, it also was at a friend's house. It was technically his dad's game, and when I jumped in, the hero was named "Dad". I hope his dad wasn't too mad that I totally hijacked his game and finished it.
thanks for making this video. first video game I played since 30 years ago as a kid. I gave up on DW1 DW2 never had the help back then to finish the game. But now beacuse of your vids I beat the game and was a lot of fun! thanks again
Love this game, and so great to see a play through of it! I've beaten it a few times awhile back, but it's almost kind of good enough to just see you beat it! Cheers and rock on!
One handy thing I learned from the HCBailly LP is that Kragacles, Darthbears, and Green dragons are all susceptible to beat/defeat spells, and can make those fights go a LOT smoother
Congrats and great work on the 3 part series. Played and passed all 3 DW games growing up and loved this game so much because it was a loop in the Erdrick trilogy. Didn't have a chance to play the other DW games after so would be interested in your videos on them.
Top tier content as always dude. That's why I stay subbed to your channel. Your in-depth guides and especially the humor that gets snuck in here and there, they make my day man. I can't wait to see what you put out next.
Watching you beat this game felt like I just beat this game, lol. On a serious note, thank you for all the hard work you put into these games. Will look forward to future videos!
I didn't get to read all the Nintendo Power or other things for this game. I remember beating it without the manual items too. The twist 3rd part was a total surprise. Great job on the video.
Job well done. This trilogy of games also had a loosely based Anime cartoon made called Dragon Quest: Legend of the Hero Abel, which had the first 13 episodes dubbed in English called Dragon Warrior. It aired back around 1989. The series was 43 episodes long in total, and there is an English Subtitled version out there if you can find it. It was really good. The main antagonist was Baramos! If you played all three games, you can see so many of the characters they used in the animation. Anyway sir, I applaud you for a great video series.
Tis always a pleasure to watch your videos, be it games I like or have played myself, or even games that I personally have no interest in playing. :D Something calm and soothing in your voice. Although I do usually watch these a bit sped up. XD Wishing you the best for the next hundred games as well!
I was recently playing the remake on Switch, but there was something about the original that I liked better. Thanks for taking the time to make this GIANT 2 parter, always enjoy the extra tidbits of info in both the lore and tricks you found out in the wild, I thought I knew everything, but I never knew about the death tricks. Would love to see what you look like someday, besides that always enjoy your shows. Here's to 100 more!
Awesome work from you ( and your team ). This game is massive. I would never see the end of it without your help. I dislike the LvL grinding trick because I am playing on emulator but I can get some money in the arena easely due to the save/load anywhere possibility ( before the silver harp trick ). Now that this game is done, I look the same as your dogs on the couch lol.
I was always put off from playing DQ3 by the anxiety of 'doing it wrong' with the personality system added by the later versions. Once I finally got past that, I ended up beating it twice in a row, even doing a solo run! DQ4 still holds a special place for me, blew my mind seeing an NES game pull off a 10 minute long ending, especially with only DQ1 under by belt for the series.
Nice video! Well done on making such a comprehensive guide. I've yet to play this game, but it was released on the day I was born, so I feel a weird kind of affinity with it!

I can’t get past the way he says “Alefguard” like “OliveGard”. I’m loving it.

Fist thing i do when i come to work and its slow is to check on your channel. its like coffee to me or a bowl of cereal. well done
Congrats on 100 games! I love that a Dragon Quest/Warrior game made it as the milestone; this was always one of my favorite series. I was first introduced to it when I received a copy of Dragon Warrior free with my subscription to Nintendo Power magazine. Having received the D&D red box set a few years previously, I was already hooked on the sci-fi and fantasy genres. This just broke it open completely. My next door neighbor and I would spend hours and hours either playing a Dragon Warrior game or D&D. We even jotted down ideas for a future DQ installment (sadly never completed). Though my NES is long gone, I now have the mobile versions on my tablet, as well as a copy of XI S on my computer. The newer versions of Dragon Warrior III bring in the personality system, which added so much new content to an already beloved game. Over the last few years I had even been working on a 5e conversion for the Dragon Quest universe. It has been back-burnered as life has picked up steam, but every once in a while I pull it up and think on it for a bit.
Excellent series of videos. Recently played through this game after years of not playing it, and most of the memory I had of it (e.g. where to go and when) was gone. This walkthrough helped me greatly. These videos were evenly-paced with great explanations of abilities, items, enemies, etc. I only hope to see more and more of this series on classic RPGs for NES and SNES. Very nicely done!
I was drinking from a bottle of Coke when I heard, "Can you imagine fighting a giant monster, and then you, like, throw a handful of Tylenol in his face, and watching it writhe in agony?" Sufficed to say, I am now wearing Coke on my shirt.
I also can't believe I watched this entire series, especially when I never played any of the Dragon Warrior games, but your narration is so damn soothing to listen to! This guide is incredible. :D
Oh man im SO happy this is out!! Ive been craving the rest of this walkthrough, it reminds me of the days spent watching an older sibling/cousin play through classic rpgs. Thank you SO much for continuing this until the end, its a LONG game so I cant even begin to imagine the time it takes to put this together.
Your are a youtube hero. This channel means a lot to me.
Congratulations on clearing the 100th game for the channel! The breakdown of you give for everything the first time is god-tier work! I hope success continue to head your way!
Thank you- I really appreciate hearing that! I wanted to go big for the 100th game, and this was one of the biggest on my list!
The RPGs are why I'm here, everything else is just a bonus. Great channel! Keep up the great work.
Congratulations on 100 completed games! Finally finished watching this; wanted to save it for a lazy Sunday. As always, you give enough running jokes and technical insight to make something potentially boring (like grinding) into pure entertainment. Long games, short games, whichever you can put out, we'll be here!
Also, special thanks to all of your assistants for making this possible.
The timeline goes like this.
DQ XI > DQ III > DQ I
Dragon Quest I splits the timeline with Dragon Quest II happening if you refuse the offer and then Builders 2. Builders 1 happens on the timeline where the hero accepts the offer and somehow merges with Builders 2.
This is some quality content right here! Bravo!!
Another amazing game in the books. And this time it is No. 100. How fitting. Congratulations. 🎉🎊
Thank you so much for your and your wifes work and effort.
It is always enjoyable watching your videos. They always cheer me up. :)
Your videos have become a mainstay in my life!
Thank you sir for all that you do. I've been around since almost the beginning it amazing to see how not only the channel grow but how much more comfortable you have grown. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into the videos. It brings me joy to watch you crush the games. Congrats on 100 games beaten and here's to the next 100!!!
Great series.
There is another quick level up in the underworld. With Goopies, let them live and cast a few increases and bikills on everyone. Then let the Goopies continue to summon Granite Titans. I've had 60,000+exp in one fight, very satisfying.
I must thank you for introducing me to this absolute masteriece of a video game. I had so much fun playing this title, and it's many different versions (Super Famicom version turned out to be my all-time favourite), fun I would've missed, if it wasn't for your channel. You have a particular knack for making a game interesting. Massive kudos, for all the great job, that you do, keep up the fine work.
I was scratching myself waiting for this
Thanks for all the hard work you put into this one! It was surely a big task. But this channel always hits it out of the park. 😊
Thank you so much for this UCBVG! Your Dragon Warrior videos encouraged me to check out the Dragon Quest series and I've become a HUGE fan now!
I've been rewatching your whole DW series about 15 minutes at a time over the past few months when I do my stretches every morning, and I was really hoping you might get to DW4 before I reached the end, but I just finished this one this morning, so I might just go back and rewatch from the beginning haha
Reminds me of when I was a kid watching Dragon Ball on Toonami, hoping they'd release new episodes after Goku arrived on Namek, only for them to start over from Raditz. Still loved it then and still love it now! Thank you again for these videos!
Getting through a huge RPG series like Dragon Warrior/Quest is a hefty project. Congrats on beating 100 games!
Baramos Gonus has a higher Attack than weak Zoma..... +40 more actually. I never fought Strong Zoma so I didn't know he hit a ton harder! THANK YOU SO MUCH for this great trio of videos!
Due to just how epic this series was i had to respectfully watch until the end. Had to give my due to the amount of work this one had to take to create. Heck it took me 3 days to finish watching it
Excellent job on this series, you do all of these games wonderful justice and homage. Thanks for what you do.
I am so happy to have recently discovered this channel. Touring through your catalogue has been a wonderful blast of nostalgia and has me itching to replay - and introduce to my kids - some of these classics again today. Thanks so much for all your hard work and terrific presentation. I look forward to watching the many more of your videos I've yet to see, and especially those that await in the future!
Big congratulations on beating your 100th game. Seeing this was a huge undertaking without a doubt, let alone an influential RPG title. Keep on the great content.
Hopefully I'll like to see you tackling these shorter games:
Super Mario Land - Game Boy
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan - Game Boy
Streets of Rage - Genesis
Very much enjoyed all the videos on this game. Very great work. 10+ hours shows real dedication. Looking forward to your next videos and waiting to see destiny of an emperor conquered by you
I’m supposed to use words here to express how wonderful and fun this series has been, but I really don’t have them. Instead I’ll talk about what DQ means to me.
DQ has always been my go to for RPGs. From the moment I laid eyes on Dragon Warrior as my friend John played it at his house, I knew this was the game series I wanted to play. I’ve played them all and never feel anything but wonder and joy at experiencing everything this series has to offer.
I can’t adequately express what UCBVG does for me, but it fills my heart with happiness and excitement whenever I see it pop up in my feed. I always look forward to the next Archfiend who needs a beating and all the video games I can beat.
Thank you for all 100 games and everything that will follow.
Thanks for the kind words, Casey! The first time I played Dragon Warrior, it also was at a friend's house. It was technically his dad's game, and when I jumped in, the hero was named "Dad".
I hope his dad wasn't too mad that I totally hijacked his game and finished it.
Congrats on 100 games, man!!! I've recently got my brother watching this channel, and he loves it!
Looking forward to another 100 games with you.
Final part! Let's gooooo. :)
thanks for making this video. first video game I played since 30 years ago as a kid. I gave up on DW1 DW2 never had the help back then to finish the game. But now beacuse of your vids I beat the game and was a lot of fun! thanks again
So much attention to detail. This was yet another fun watch. Dragon Quest always fascinated me. Happy 100th Game!!
Love this game, and so great to see a play through of it! I've beaten it a few times awhile back, but it's almost kind of good enough to just see you beat it! Cheers and rock on!
One handy thing I learned from the HCBailly LP is that Kragacles, Darthbears, and Green dragons are all susceptible to beat/defeat spells, and can make those fights go a LOT smoother
I love how your 100th game complete is a Dragon Quest game. Probably one of my favorite series of games no matter how silly or serious they get.
I really love your videos, especially about old RPGs. Thanks for the hard work!
Watched every minute, thanks for the video and shout out. You and your Wife did an amazing job on this amazing game guide!
Congrats and great work on the 3 part series. Played and passed all 3 DW games growing up and loved this game so much because it was a loop in the Erdrick trilogy. Didn't have a chance to play the other DW games after so would be interested in your videos on them.
Top tier content as always dude. That's why I stay subbed to your channel. Your in-depth guides and especially the humor that gets snuck in here and there, they make my day man. I can't wait to see what you put out next.
Watching you beat this game felt like I just beat this game, lol. On a serious note, thank you for all the hard work you put into these games. Will look forward to future videos!
Just finished. Wow, well, it was a long journey, but totally worth it. What a great guide. And thanks to your wife for the data entry, too 😀
I just watched this again and this is basically a better version of a "Let's play" and I love this game to death but I also love this guide
I didn't get to read all the Nintendo Power or other things for this game. I remember beating it without the manual items too. The twist 3rd part was a total surprise.
Great job on the video.
Another masterpiece! The game is awesome as well. Congratulations on game #100!!!
Awesome. Just finished part 2, so this dropped at a great time. Looking forward to the conclusion!
Watching all 3 parts was awesome - keep it up - great content as always!
Job well done. This trilogy of games also had a loosely based Anime cartoon made called Dragon Quest: Legend of the Hero Abel, which had the first 13 episodes dubbed in English called Dragon Warrior. It aired back around 1989. The series was 43 episodes long in total, and there is an English Subtitled version out there if you can find it. It was really good. The main antagonist was Baramos! If you played all three games, you can see so many of the characters they used in the animation. Anyway sir, I applaud you for a great video series.
Tis always a pleasure to watch your videos, be it games I like or have played myself, or even games that I personally have no interest in playing. :D Something calm and soothing in your voice. Although I do usually watch these a bit sped up. XD Wishing you the best for the next hundred games as well!
Best rpg of almost any generation. I'd love to see a full remaster like the new DQ games not just updated 2d.
I was recently playing the remake on Switch, but there was something about the original that I liked better. Thanks for taking the time to make this GIANT 2 parter, always enjoy the extra tidbits of info in both the lore and tricks you found out in the wild, I thought I knew everything, but I never knew about the death tricks. Would love to see what you look like someday, besides that always enjoy your shows. Here's to 100 more!
Awesome work from you ( and your team ). This game is massive. I would never see the end of it without your help. I dislike the LvL grinding trick because I am playing on emulator but I can get some money in the arena easely due to the save/load anywhere possibility ( before the silver harp trick ). Now that this game is done, I look the same as your dogs on the couch lol.
This was your best series yet. Keep up the great work. You and your Wife.
I was always put off from playing DQ3 by the anxiety of 'doing it wrong' with the personality system added by the later versions. Once I finally got past that, I ended up beating it twice in a row, even doing a solo run! DQ4 still holds a special place for me, blew my mind seeing an NES game pull off a 10 minute long ending, especially with only DQ1 under by belt for the series.
Most of the times i use Defeat or beat spell to win against Kragacles very effective!
Thank you for putting so much effort into this guide!
Even though I read up on a lot of these games, I always learn a few tips and tricks. Zoma has a deadly allergy? WHO KNEW?
Congrats and bravo on this amazing game review. Been watching since beginning and look forward to many more!
well done with the guide. "Now take a short rest as order by General Kawasauki"
I still can't believe you get 10+ hours of game play on one cartridge. Amazing work
That was an epic conclusion to a huge game. I hope you take it easy for a few videos!!!
Nice video! Well done on making such a comprehensive guide. I've yet to play this game, but it was released on the day I was born, so I feel a weird kind of affinity with it!
This series has been fantastic
What an undertaking! Awesome work, thank you.
Superb work on this project; kudos to you and the Mrs
What an accomplishment! Such crazy amount of work
Fat Tuesday and UCBVG what a combo ..Shatter Hand is the one I'm looking forward to with all the different combos you can do with the robots ...
