    I love the ancient Greek themes in this game, and the highly ambitious design and mechanics. It's such a clever and unique spin on the early action RPG themes. Kind of the missing link between Zelda II and Faxanadu.

When you died you had to give the controller to the next person. After countless attempts of trying to kill the final boss, I was the one to finally take him down and had the gloating rights over my brother until we could save enough for the next NES game, which was Russian Attack.

    The music is so amazing, I still remembered it even years later without hearing it!
    I finally got to play it again a couple years ago and beat it! That feeling if completion and wholeness swept over me and I can die happy! 👍

    Big secret at the end you missed. If you play the flute at the final boss he stops shooting for a few moments. You can do this over and over to make it easier. Pretty epic game still holds up today.

  • @jeffthecoder
    @jeffthecoder 5 лет назад +5

    8:09 Secret 1: If you go to the path on the right, but position yourself high up against the rock wall before scrolling the screen, you can glitch your character into the wall. If you then go back left you can go up into the green colored part and access a normally unexplorable (and glitched) area of this level. There are a lot of strange things there, including even a glitched boss that you can kill to get a big boost to your Mind and Last. I spent countless hours exploring that place as a kid. It gets weirder the further you go.
    12:29 Secret 2: Using your grappling hook, you can climb down from the logs and go down into the water. The screen will scroll and you will be underwater. Interestingly, you'll never drown and there will be Olbis monsters down there trying to attack you.
    16:08 Secret 3: You can use your grappling hook to climb to the ceiling in the center of the room to fight this boss. If you do that, all the boss can do is climb up the wall and then come to you across the ceiling. As soon as you hit him, he drops to the floor and goes back up the wall again. This makes it very easy to defeat him.
    17:00 Secret 4: Use the grappling hook to climb down from the lowest platform. Scroll the screen down, and then climb back up to scroll the screen back up. You'll notice the boss will be positioned slightly lower than he was before and you can jump and hit him without having to climb up to the small platform with him, making him much easier to defeat.
    17:28 Secret 5: The Ghelman monsters in this area (with the green on their back) can be multi-spawned by quickly scrolling the screen up and down at one of its spawn locations. You can spawn so many that you can cause the game to slow down and eventually even crash. You can spawn many of them together in the same place, and kill them all at once, quickly boosting your Mind and Last. You can max your stats out in under a minute using this glitch!
    17:32 Secret 6: In overhead sections of the game, when you jump you are 100% invincible to all attacks while in the air. If you continuously jump, moving left and right to avoid landing on the boss or his projectiles while hitting him, he becomes one of the easiest bosses to beat.
    18:05 Secret 3 can work against this mini-boss as well
    I don't know if all of these will work quite the same on PAL. I found them all on the NTSC version

If you jump to the left far enough off the edge, the screen will scroll over to a completely new glitched out palace that you can explore. There are no enemies in it and you can die by falling in certain areas, but you'll be able to walk across the sky and on walls in some cases.

    My dad struck a deal with me when i was a kid to eat a sardine. I told him there was no way in the world he could get me to eat something that gross, so he promised me a brand new Nintendo game. I made him promise. I wasnt ten years old yet, so this sounded too good to be true. I choked that nasty thing down. Maybe two weeks later... but what seemed like an eternity... I received this game, in the wrap, picked out by him for me. This game is extra special, on top of being an awesome nes game.
    Great video! Love your family friendly channel! Do street fighter 2010. Very underrated game. Control scheme is tricky, but once you get a handle on Ken's special moves, the game becomes really awesome to play. It needs a review that will do it justice... there aren't many people that take it seriously. Its my vote for capcoms next nes hd remaster, like ducktales a few years back.

    Just found your channel and this is my favorite nes game. I've always ground the two flappy unicorns on the screen to the left of your robot. Grapple up and down to spawn them on either side of you. Two birds with one load. Rygar is now free on switch with Nintedo Switch Online.

    One of my adult milestones. After 100s of tries to beat the PAL version the story came to an end 25 years later. Ligar on Pal Rygar is truely one of the hardest nes boss fights.

    For the longest time growing up, this was one of THREE games I owned (Rygar, Castlevania, and Spy Hunter). I was a Sega kid so I didn't get an NES until further in its life cycle (I played a lot at friends' houses and all of my money went to Sega games).
    I loved this game. I learned to just spend a while at the very beginning grinding, it made the rest a LOT easier. Takes a while to build up though.
    Awesome video, great memories!!!

    This was and still is one of my favorite NES games of all time. For all the reasos you stated, especially the music. I remember finding a cheat or glitch with the first boss. If you jump over him you can jump on his back over and over... and eventually he just stops moving and shooting fireballs but he still roars. It takes a moment to do and he will switch sides he is facing while you are bouncing. But.. it made him so easy

    I really enjoyed your video. Yes, that brings back some memories. I was ten years old when this game came out and I remember it sort of divided my fellow video game fans at the time between those of us who liked the more flashy arcade game vs those, like me, who got into the explore-able world with side quests. What a great soundtrack for the time; I still remember every tune. With all the grinding required and no save option, it sure was a lesson in patience.

  • @jerrmo

    When you take on the spider / crab boss - you stay in the middle of the screen and duck down. It drops on you Doing no damage, and then moves either left or right. By staying ducked down and hitting it as it moves away from you it reverses it’s movement going over you hear again. Then you hit it back and forth and destroy it easily

  • @grawakendream8980
    @grawakendream8980 3 года назад

    Excellent video! Awesome tribute to this game, you captured my sentiments perfectly. Rygar was the first game I bought with my Nintendo after careful study of the boxes of each video game at Toy R Us in 1987. No one else had this game too so it became like my game. Very frustrating, left it on for hours and hours plenty of times. I think I was stuck in the forest for months before the rest of the game began to open up. Eruuga was the toughest before the final boxx. And what a relief & reward it was, to topple Ligar and open the door of peace. Bittersweet in the sense that Rygar has to return to the underworld again after, and you start again at 0. Great memories!

  • @Eabatu
    @Eabatu 5 лет назад

    Love this game! You pretty much laid out exactly how I go about finishing this game, complete with the exact spot I grind to max out my EXP. Ive found even if you stop grinding at about 8 health youre good to go for finishing the game. The bosses give a lot of EXP and the enemies later on are good for it too, so by the time you get to the end youre maxed out. Excellent shorthand walkthrough, you provided pretty much all you need to know to finish this underrated gem.

    How in the hell did I miss this game for the NES!? Rygar looks absolutely Badass! The graphics look great for an NES game and I can tell that the game play and controls work well and are very fun. As a child in the 80s and 90s, I had several friends who all had a NES and not one of them owned this game. What’s crazy about that is that we all would’ve loved it. Thank you for bringing this game to light and showcasing it on your channel. I’m definitely going to try and score a copy of Rygar.

  • @Und34d_R
    @Und34d_R 2 года назад

    What a great video. This game was one of the defining gaming experiences of my childhood in the late 80s. My brothers and I would spend days playing it, and the characters and items really did seem "legendary" to me. I remember there was a glitch in the game (forget the specifics) that you could use a grappling hook or pulley to enter into an entirely glitched version of the world. The monsters had heads/legs/pieces that were mixed together, and it really had no end. It was bizarre and one of the cooler things we found. I still remember doing it to this day and showing my friends.
    This, along with Zelda and Kid Icarus, were the best adventure games of that era.

  • @sonofradium4835
    @sonofradium4835 5 лет назад +1

    Dorago can easily be defeated with Attack and Assail, provided your Tone was well developed. However, DO NOT use this method against Ligar as the screen flash will glitch the end sequence and credits. Great video, my man!
