How to beat Dragon Warrior!
Dragon Warrior is one of the most influential video games ever made, not just for the NES, but for any system! The company that published it, Enix, started out selling real estate, but things quickly changed after they held a contest looking for video game talent.
Most of the people that made Dragon Warrior were amateurs, but this game turned them into superstars in their home country of Japan. So how did Dragon Warrior, also known as Dragon Quest, become such a big hit? In this week’s episode we’ll find out, then we’ll dive deep into the gameplay where we’ll learn:
• The secret to entering a better name to get the BEST STATS throughout the entire game!
• The best ways to LEVEL UP FAST!
• Data on ALL of the game’s many enemies!
• The secret to getting INFINITE GOLD!
• Information on ALL of the game’s Weapons, Armor and Shields - which ones are good, and which ones we should avoid!
• How to find ALL of the game’s SECRET TREASURES!
• Data on all of the game’s many SPELLS!
• How many experience points are required to LEVEL UP?
• Everything you need to know about ALL of the game’s ITEMS!
• CURSES! What they do, and how to cure them!
• What happens when you JOIN THE DRAGONLORD?
• The power of the game’s MAXIMUM LEVEL and MAXIMUM GOLD!

I remember getting Dragon Warrior for free with my Nintendo Power sub, and being so enamored of the game that I went out looking for something similar where I stumbled across Final Fantasy... These two series have such a wonderful bunch of memories tied up in them in my childhood..

@itsClaptrap Год назад

its funny, I have a very similar event happen in my childhood. Where my mom bought me some toys from a garage sale, and among them was a copy of Final Fantasy 10 for the PS2 (I assumed the toys and stuff was old things from someones kids stuff they couldn't hold onto) that was thrown in with everything. The day I played (and eventually beat) FFX fundamentally changed me as a person lmfao

@mkv2718 Год назад

same here, and my brother and i became obsessed with this game, and i LOVED the map that came with it (i was obsessed with maps as a kid). the Japan only SNES versions for the 1st 4 games are available on smartphones and tablets as well as Switch for pretty cheap. they also rebalanced it to tone down the grinding, as well as some other balance changes, like simplifying the character name / stat interactions to only having 2 upgrade oaths as opposed to 16 like the nes version. honestly quite worth it, as it makes going back to this classic a lot more fun and less time consuming.

@billmartovich9009 2 месяца назад

I usually just smack around slides until I can afford the copper sword from the start. Then grind up for leather armor and depending on level go for the hand axe or small shield. I feel like in Dragon Quest games, even a minor boost to offense is better than a significant defense increase, and since this game is just shuffling gold around when you buy upgrades, the less stuff you buy, the less gold you need overall, especially for things like the flame sword and silver shield.

@@UCanBeatVideoGames , I remember having this game, but, to be honest, the game franchise did not really take off until the SNES/NSFC era, and, when I got a PS2, I got Dragon Quest VIII, which is arguably one of the best entries of the game franchise (and that it also later got a 3DS/2DS/iOS/Android remaster/expansion that is also good, plus has a lot of new story lines, enemies, bosses, and two new playable characters as well). The game that is in your video is pretty good for a 1986 game, but, to be honest, Phantasy Star I really set the bar, arguably even more so than Final Fantasy I, on how the template of the JRPG subgenre was to be from the 1980s forward.

For those that want to relive the magic of playing this for the first time, there is a very good randomizer for this game. It generates random maps, randomizes stat gains and spells for level ups. It can also randomize enemy skills/spells and there is a chaos mode for randomizing enemy HP and EXP if you want. It's a lot of fun and brings back that old need to hand draw a world map. (Edit: minor grammar edit)

Actually, you can find the enemies you were fighting at level 5, near the castle. If you go south from the castle, and over by the mountains on the left (west), you can see the mountain cave on the other side, there is a spot you can go back and forth to grind there. Also, there is a chance in the mountain cave, to get a death necklace from a chest. It's cursed, so equipping isn't suggested, but it does sell for a lot of gold. (Which he covers late in the video.)

To be fair, the difficulty scale in Dragon Warrior has always been based on grinding out levels, so for a lot us who didn't know any better, we accidentally made the game much harder than it needed to be by being impatient and charging into higher level areas than we were ready to tackle.

Love that you take the time to fully play these NES games, many of which have aged along with us, and for taking the time to edit and comment on each game. Your work reminds me of a modern day GamePro magazine with tips and tricks. Since your Crystalis video I have subscribed and continue, to this day, to play these on a loop on my secondary computer in the background; after a first watch of course! Thank you again for all the hard work you and your wife put into these and I wish you both the best on and outside the channel.

@nervaaugustus7089 2 года назад

I can really appreciate your dedication to show off this game. However, there seems to be a few minor details you missed or were incorrect on: 1. The innkeeper's response if you stay at an inn while carrying Princess Gwaelin changes, and hints that something happened. 2. The Silver Harp's monster summoning doesn't just summon low-level monsters; it immediately summons a monster typical for the area you're in. If you look at it in the game's code, it literally calls the same code as random encounters, including using the currently-loaded random encounter table. 3. It's not stated in-game, but Erdrick's token is actually Erdrick's family crest, and has his actual name (Erdrick is actually a title! See DQ3) and the name of his wife and child on its reverse side. You recognize you're a descendent of Erdrick because those names are in your own family tree. 4. Charlock is actually north-*west* of Rimuldar, not northeast. 5. If your inventory is full when you return Gwaelin, she will keep your least-valuable item as a token to remember you by while you're away. I once used this to get her to take a torch, and make a pun that left my girlfriend in stitches - Gwaelin was carrying a torch for me. 6. In the original version of the game, Lv30 wasn't the final level! You could continue levelling, but if you did, eventually your stats would exceed 256 and although the game would still show the numbers rising, you would steadily get *weaker* instead of stronger. They patched this in later releases of the game.

Does the silver harp really summon enemies typical for a specific area? I used the silver harp a few times in the area south of Rimuldar where the Southern Shrine is located at, as well as the desert sorrounding Hauskness. Only low level enemies appeared. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

@nervaaugustus7089 2 года назад

@@Viewer123r It's supposed to, and does in the copy of the game I have. However I do know that there's multiple versions of the Dragon Warrior cartridge, and some have minor differences, such as the lack of a max level in earlier versions of the game. This could be another version difference.

@untrainedtalent 2 года назад

@Ivegotwormsinme 2 года назад

I would imagine you're my age, give or take a year, and for the life of me I had no idea how I came to own that game until today. I remember my cousin (8 years or so older than I) always coming over and playing video games with me, and he was super stoked to play Dragon Warrior because we were both nerds (still am) and it appealed to both of us. He'd play that game for hours on end and I'd watch, probably having never played it myself until my 20s when I got way into emulators. But, I had been subscribed to Nintendo power since the 3rd or 4th issue, and that has to be how I got that game because my mom wouldn't have bought that for me because she wasn't a nerd (still isn't) and would probably think an RPG is a procedure you have done at a hospital.

@thebickgaming3546 2 года назад

I wanted to say well done on these videos! They are amazing! I also wanted to add a pro tip here. If you buy the dragon scale in the beginning, you can equip it and immediately sell it back to the vendor and recover 10 gold which is useful early on. You will retain the +2 defense the item gives you and free up your item slot by one. Buying a new dragon scale and doing it again would permanently cancel this effect though!

@scottdoesntmatter4409 2 года назад

meh, 10 gold isn't enough to care about, not even early on. Interesting idea though.

@arcturionblade1077 2 года назад

Curious if you will eventually move on to some SNES games.

Welcome back! It's Saturday, time for 3 hours of nostalgia! Special thanks to Kylo, that's a looong gaming session for mans best friend. Growing up, i remember making all the DW towns/castles out of Legos, and "borrowing" a bamboo pole from a neighbor's garden. It was the only "weapon" from the game I could keep in my room...I was 7. Had NO idea about the naming stats, now I'm wondering how many extra hours of grinding that cost me.... edit: I've read some comments talking about doing the rest of the Dragon Warrior series (I'm American, it will always be DW to me). I fully support this. I was never able to complete any of the sequels, I only ever rented them and I remember them being HARD (also expensive).
