Thank you for keeping this game alive. My dad and I used to play this series all the time, and this is our favorite one (except the combat, none of them have a good system for that). They should be remade.
Man, this brings back some memories. One of the best RPGs ever, RPGs at that time were usually boring D&D Dungeon crawls. QfG was unique in introducing RPGs elements (like character building) into adventure games. the closest thing at that time to tabletop RPG. Loved the sound effects, especially the voices. Played that game all through the summer of 94 (half that, half Dark Forces) instead of working on my Law school exams. Guess what, I flunked, TY Sierra. Sorry, I felt like sharing.
I remember this game being insanely difficult back in the day...the fact that everything was time-based made it really easy to screw yourself up permanently and miss something (though the game over messages were often hilarious).
That's no ordinary rabbit; this dynamite bunny has a vicious streak a mile wide- it's a killer! It's got huge- It can leap about- LOOK AT THE DEAD HERO!
The only ways to parry attacks with the shield are the (using the mouse) click right on the hero, or (using the keyboard) click left arrow and shift for a regular parry and click down arrow and shift for a low parry. My guess is that if you right click higher up on the hero he'll parry high.
There's a reason most games don't track your hunger or your stamina - because when they do, like this one, you can die for no good reason. Sierra loved making you have to track little minuete like that. Bastards.
Very good game, but it has many examples of opponents you should be able to easily destroy being able to kill you when the game is in "plot mode", such as the hexapus in the monestary. If you could fight it, it would not be a threat. This is an example of plot-gameplay segregation, like in final fantay VII when you couldn't revive Aerith with a phoenix down...
I think you missed one actually. If you break into the castle gate and kill the Necrotaurs, the gates become electrified when you go back to them the next day. If you touch them you get hurt and if it kills you you get a death message ending in the line, "Touchy these homeowners."
Here's a death that you missed. Force open the gate to the castle and kill the necrotaurs. The next day, Boris will say that the Master put a spell on the gate. Click the hand on the gate and it will damage you, which kills you if your health is low enough. There's a minor glitch that prevents your health bar from showing the health that you lost (well, for me, anyway), but you can see it if you check your stats page.
You need to install the DOS version. In the case of most games around this time, there's a Windows and a DOS installer on the CD. Windows usually is named Setup, DOS is usually named Install.
No, the problem isn't getting the game to run on my computer. It's getting it to run on my video recorder program. The game is too new for that only games that were designed to work on the DOS operating sytstem will work on it.
No. It's just that I had moved the character around and only recorded the parts when you're warned about starving. If I showed everything I did between those two times, I'd have to devote an entire ten minute video to it.
First: I think it's like the original game: no one wakes up till you leave, but I'll see about it. Second: Wish I could but I can't. The only way I can do these is with DOSBox and unfortunately, that's not possible with Qfg 5.
uhm... the voice-actor to Igor... sounds alot like the guy to "Fuzzy the bear"... ? 0_o' ..and what the hell happend to the voice-actors, that actually took their roles seriously? *sigh* i miss games like these s:'(
I don't suppose anyone here can remind me of how to block high attacks with your shield, as a fighter/paladin in this game? I can't remember how, and the faqs I've checked won't say. I would just make a topic on the gamefaqs message board, but for some stupid reason, most topics on the message board keep getting closed.
Hi, I've been trying to run CD games on dosbox but it seems that it only plays floppies. When I try to run a CD game it says "This is not DOS material" or something like that. Can you please help me?
So I was skipping through the Resource.AUD file, and I found a voice clip of the narrator reading out the Megavolt Jolt death. It could be that all of the other deaths were narrated too...I'll have to look through it some more.
Yeah, well, pictures yellow-skinned anorexic women with green hair don't really appeal to me. But if you're into the undead check out "Game Over-Quest for Glory IV" (I believe you can find it in the related videos section of this video) and you'll get to see the whole thing.

9:13 This is passionate yet betrayed death. I don't know why every boy finds beautiful every beautiful girl safe, but those girls can be... dangerous.

Watch out! A POI-sonous trap!
14 Carrot Death, a tribute to Monty Python and the Holy Grail no less.
You missed a death near the beginning. If you walk to the very edge of the pit in the Dark One's cave the tentacles will grab you.
3:28
His ass just got Monty Python'd!
That's no ordinary rabbit; this dynamite bunny has a vicious streak a mile wide- it's a killer!
It's got huge-
It can leap about-
LOOK AT THE DEAD HERO!
3:28 was i the only person who thought of Monty python and the holy grail or spam alot
hah i love the voice when the guy is talking about the six tentacled creature

late, but...
You KILLED him! Naturally that would bring consequences, right? ESPECIALLY with his GHOST to squeal!

I remember watching my brother play this when he was about 5/6. He always used to call it 'Christopher Glory'
And another you missed - you can get sucked into one of the tentacles in the Breath Ritual chamber if you blow them out of order.
I think you missed one actually. If you break into the castle gate and kill the Necrotaurs, the gates become electrified when you go back to them the next day. If you touch them you get hurt and if it kills you you get a death message ending in the line, "Touchy these homeowners."
Considering the setting, that's probably actually a magic-based trap.
I wouyld love to play this and the next one but niether will work on my pc. I have tried everything but nothing seems to work
Use scummvm it is a program made to run classic graphic adventure games just like back in the day
Necrophilicon?! JEEZ, WHAT WERE THOSE GUYS READING?! AND WHY DO THEY HAVE THAT BOOK?!
Have you tried DOSBox? I have some information on how to get it to work on that program if you PM me.
Leave the CD in the drive. If you're asking about the DOSbox thing, You have to mount the CD drive as well.
Here's a death that you missed.
Force open the gate to the castle and kill the necrotaurs. The next day, Boris will say that the Master put a spell on the gate.
Click the hand on the gate and it will damage you, which kills you if your health is low enough.
There's a minor glitch that prevents your health bar from showing the health that you lost (well, for me, anyway), but you can see it if you check your stats page.
Ah this is the best game ever
I love those puns :D
Same here
I'll give it a shot.
Thanks, dude. LIke I said, I didn't want to ask here, but youtube was pretty much the only place I'd get a response.
To be fair, you'd always get a bunch of warnings when you're starving or exhausted.
You need to install the DOS version. In the case of most games around this time, there's a Windows and a DOS installer on the CD. Windows usually is named Setup, DOS is usually named Install.
No, the problem isn't getting the game to run on my computer. It's getting it to run on my video recorder program. The game is too new for that only games that were designed to work on the DOS operating sytstem will work on it.
@MasterZebulin I don't think you know just how expensive building and operating a satellite laser is!
You have to use DOS Box. Otherwise, no.
No. It's just that I had moved the character around and only recorded the parts when you're warned about starving. If I showed everything I did between those two times, I'd have to devote an entire ten minute video to it.
thanks helped me a lot
"Necrophilicon."
My god, that's awful.
It's actually Gimli doing the narration :3
I noticed you skipped most of the lake woman encounter.
First: I think it's like the original game: no one wakes up till you leave, but I'll see about it.
Second: Wish I could but I can't. The only way I can do these is with DOSBox and unfortunately, that's not possible with Qfg 5.
9:15 aww so cute. They look like a cheese onion and ham sandwich.
Lack of stamina.
Necrophilicon? What the heck is that?
holy shit 3:28 is the killer bunny from Monty Python!!!
Hehe what is to the right of you at 0:47? It looks kinda funny....
Narrator sounds like Christopher Lee.
i just love the ironic jokes !!
uhm... the voice-actor to Igor... sounds alot like the guy to "Fuzzy the bear"... ? 0_o'
..and what the hell happend to the voice-actors, that actually took their roles seriously? *sigh* i miss games like these s:'(
now that you mention it... :S it really looks like it...
captain picard used to narrorate old games? i never knew this. lol
Why in the hell does he fall like that?
I don't suppose anyone here can remind me of how to block high attacks with your shield, as a fighter/paladin in this game? I can't remember how, and the faqs I've checked won't say. I would just make a topic on the gamefaqs message board, but for some stupid reason, most topics on the message board keep getting closed.
As far as the combat in this series is concerned, you pretty much have to let them kill you to lose.
Is it possible to install QFG Anthology to run on Vista?
That was odd, I replied to
zeldafanboy345 and it put the comment up here.
Hi, I've been trying to run CD games on dosbox but it seems that it only plays floppies. When I try to run a CD game it says "This is not DOS material" or something like that. Can you please help me?
@MrJoshuaSalway1990 I'm no peasant. And exactly HOW is by getting a satellite laser.
Pwned by Killer Rabbit! XD
@MrJoshuaSalway1990 WELL! Just for that, I'll see to it that you'll NEVER get lucky with the Rusulka!
@MasterZebulin No shit Sherlock, I was commenting on the death message.
Does the Quest for Glory series work for ScummVM?
They do. Unfortunately only the first 3. IT would be lovely to play QFG4 there.
Where do you get this game?
3:27-3:32 How can a bunny kill you?
That's no ordinary rabbit!
Andrew Mihovich It's a vicious monster with a mean streak a mile wide!
@MrJoshuaSalway1990 Humans cannot breathe water...
rusalka death is the best death anyway.
My god this game is almost as bad as nethack! But I still think what happens when you don't disarm the Savant bomb in Wizardry 8 is worse
Nah, I was just curious.
4:35 WTF just Happend?! O.o
So I was skipping through the Resource.AUD file, and I found a voice clip of the narrator reading out the Megavolt Jolt death.
It could be that all of the other deaths were narrated too...I'll have to look through it some more.
Sayonara lol
7:28 - Looks like when you starve to death, you quickly teleport back to some other location. Glitch?
Yeah, well, pictures yellow-skinned anorexic women with green hair don't really appeal to me. But if you're into the undead check out "Game Over-Quest for Glory IV" (I believe you can find it in the related videos section of this video) and you'll get to see the whole thing.
H.P LOVECRAFT FOREVER!!!! :D
