Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within - Beastly Location Tour 

Never eat canned Weisswurst. No German in his right mind eats that, It's disgusting. Always have it fresh, with sweet mustard.

You have taken "computer game geek" to a whole other level. Brilliant. Love it

This was an amazing throwback! Just finished the game (again). Was looking for some related content, and stumbled upon this video. This. Is. Incredible. Thanks for putting this together, great job! 🥂

Omg! That's..... So awesome! I love how well researched Jane Jensen's games are. It's always based on real things and locations and with the supernatural stuff added in I usually can't decide which aspects are real and which are added in. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for doing this episode. Gabriel Knight 2 is among my favorites in the game department. The wolf visit at the zoo was excellent.

Amazing video. Some years ago I visited Munich as well and looked up most of the locations. NeuSchwanstein is amazing. I’ve also visited the chapel in Altötting where Ludwigs heart is stored in that urn. Amazing place.

Well done! So funny to see that someone out of Germany visited the places of that game. I have been at many of the places because I was born in munich and have lived there a long time.. A nice travel through time, watching that. I love Gabriel Knight 2!

Outstanding episode! :) You managed to catch every detail from the game (including the "come on, wolfie!" scene hahaha). When I visited Germany in 2006 I could not visit all the game locations, spent most time in Munich and managed to visit the Ludwig Castle (Neuschwanstein). We did the way up there by horse, it's really cool. Thanks for this episode, triggers many memories!

Cool episode! GK2 is actually my favorite adventure game ever. I'm glad you had a nice tour around Bavaria. Did you know that the actor playing Von Glower is polish-born dude? He was even in polish Dancing with the Stars. And also starred in awesome polish comedy "Killer 2". It's cult classic in Poland but jokes are not transferrable to english mostly so I don't know if I should recommend it XD. Anyways gr8 FMV. It's said to be rushed during development- initially it was supposed to have 10 chapters. Too bad... Aaaand probably we will never get remake or even GK4. (GK3 is my last most loved GK due to crappy engine/UI). Cheers!

Thank you for doing this! Let's hope to get some news about GK4 at the Adventure Game Fan Fair later this month!

This episode was INCREDIBLE! I visited Germany back in high school in 2000; however, that was prior to me having played The Beast Within, and I had no idea that some of the places that I visited would feature so heavily in the game. We did get to visit Neuschwanstein and Munich, though, and I do still have my pictures from that, so I'm really glad that I was able to experience that! The amount of detail that Jane Jensen and her team put in to recreating the locations in GK2 is truly incredible! It's also amazing to see how little has changed overall in the architecture of the locales of GK2 in 23 years! I've also had the opportunity to visit Sutter's Fort (featured in Gold Rush), and San Francisco (featured in Manhunter 2), and I was able to get pictures of a lot of the locations featured in those games as well, but it's a little bit harder to imagine those areas in modern day, since neither game is set in the present like GK2 was. Thank you so much for sharing this! If I ever get an opportunity to visit Germany again, I would definitely like to visit some of these places!

OMG !! Thank you so much for this awesome video my brother. The nostalgia brings tears to my eyes ! Played Gabriel Knight 2 The beast within when I was a young boy and that videogame just sucked me in and I loved it !! In the past 25 years after playing that game I regulary kept googling locations and actors from Gabriel Knight because I just could not let go of this nostagic feeling the game enchanted me with. I am making plans to visit Munchen and visit Marien Platz and Castle Neuschwanstein. But this video . . . . just GREAT !!!

The amount of care and effort that went into this video is amazing. Should have more than 6000 views.

Always wondered if those places were real. Now I know. Thank you for that, sir!

I am going to visit Rothenburg, Hauptsee and the castle in August. I did a tour in the late '90 's. I visited Neuschwanstein, Hauptsee, Locham, the zoo and the center of Munich Marienplatz. I was still young and only have some pictures. It was long before smartphones and digital cameras. I never found Rittersberg (Rothenburg). We drove all the way to east Germany to a town called Rittersberg, but that was not the Rittersberg from the game. But there is a real Rittersberg...

So good! Found this video after it was mentioned on Conversations With Curtis with Paul from Phantasmagoria 2. Excellent shots!

Wonderful! To know that my crazy adventures years ago with my partner inspired you to do the same is just awesome. These are extra special videos to look back on due to a few crazy life events since that time, so I thank you for the reminder of how much visiting these locations made me feel. They were a fun little dream fulfilled. Nice work on following the tour and seeing the sites! I know how much of a mission it is and how spread out some of them are! I wish you'd told me years ago that you'd gone on this adventure but I randomly stumbled upon them myself just now. All the best and keep the adventures alive! :) Hayden aka Stanley

Its soooo cool ! To See that game stuff in Real..... im german and Play that game at my Childhood.. nice to See that... hope youve had a great time here

awesome! I have just been recently visiting Schloss Neuschwanstein after wanting to go there since 25 years! (I was 15 when I played the game and still adore it)...it was wonderful to dive in again into the game's unique atmosphere....

I can't believe you did this! Amazing!

This video needs far, far more views.

Excellent video with a real life adventure. Impossible to forget the story, the characters and the places of this game.

Awesome photos!

well done! best episode yet.

Thats amazing! Thanks for bringing back my childhood....Cheers!

Absolutely incredible concept. Love it.

I had so much fun watching this video! So many memories! Great!

Thanks so much for sharing this with all of the GK fanbase. Really brought back some wonderful memories of summertime at my Grandparents, booting up the PC with my Uncle, and staying up late to help guide him on our GK adventure. Cheers mate!! x

really enjoyed the video ! Thank you for all your efforts, it was really well made !

Thanks for the tour. Great video.

Oh man! thanks for that experience! what a joy! im a great gk fan and it was amazing to see some of those locations in that perspective again. thanks a lot for the ride!

Gabriel Knight was my favorite as I was growing up!! Thank you for posting this!!

Found this tour accidentally by looking for GK2 playthroughs and it was neat to see these places for 'real'. It was something I had wanted to do many, many years ago but I completely forgot about the game until now.

This is awesome. thank you. I am 60 and I love this game. Played it when it came out. the only thing I critiqued was the last act. it was very short and the ending seemed rushed, but I believe it was because they were running out of money and time for the game. I am currently playing the 20th anniversary remake of the 1 rst game. so hope they can make a part 4 soon.

This was a really great episode! I can really see how much heart and soul you put into this, its really great.

Thank you so much for this tour. Along with many others here, this is my favorite game, and not only was it fun to see the comparison of the actual locations, it was great to see the the models for the fictional locations. Thoroughly enjoyed this and thanks again!

This is soooo good! I love how you matched with the game's footage.

What breath taking locations. I hope I can go there one day.

Omg this is so awesome!!! Thank you for doing this

Great video! I won't forget the Weißwurst when I travel to München. 😉

WOW...thank you Mr AGG. I've always wanted to do what you have done here. With this virtual tour I feel as though I was actually there - this is THAT good. Wunderbar! Bravo AGG 10/10

This was such a cool video, to see the game come to life, your passion for it & seeing your excitement from reliving scenes from a game that obviously mens a lot to you. And also seeing you give a shoutout to a small YT channel that did a similar thing years before you. Just a wholesome vibe that you dont see in modern day YT much. I can kind of relate to the feeling in the sense that it reminds me of what I felt when I got to visit USA for the first time and then backpacking in South America after that, exploring places I'd viewed through my computer screen for years, both in pictures and video games.

Oow this video made my day!😃 You were able to reproduce lots of details from the game! Gabriel Knight 2 is my favourite game ever it reminds me the time I used to live in Munich, I have so many wonderful memories of from there. Thank you so much for sharing it with us and bringing back the nostalgia from those great games from the 90's...

Love this! I just came back from a similar winter trip. I went to Munich and hiked up to Schloss Neuschwanstein and even went to a Wagner opera at the end of my stay! I forgot there were so many more real locations. Next time I'll try to go by car ;)

Got this video randomly recommended by RU-vid. Awesome tour you made. :) Also I love this game, but mostly because of its quirky german dub.

Fantastic! Loved how you meshed everything together! Also, super happy to see your channel is starting to really grow! :)

LOVED THE VIDEO! I wouldlove to go see all of these locations!

That episode was simply brilliant! You have outdone yourself again! I see so much effort put into this video, it really should be promoted somehow, because I have never seen enything like this about a videogame. Now I am really looking forward to your Pillars of Earth video, it will be awesome! :) Best of luck and health in the new year.

I first played GK2 as a teen, and again a couple of days ago after I found out it was on steam. It was so incredibly nostalgic and enjoyable, and more so after I watched your video. Thank you for tracing the steps of GK2 and sharing this video with us! Really well done, and so cool when you reenacted the scenes.

This is like opening of old forgothen time capsule. Amazing!

Hope to make this exact trip someday. Excellent work

Fantastic tribute to GK2! I appreciate your sense of humor throughout the video tour and hope that you had enough time to enjoy the trip while not filming. I can't wait to visit Germany myself!

Thanks for putting the effort into making this. Love this game so much. I’m currently reading the novelisation which I’ve had sitting around for 15 years [and apparently is worth about $100). So cool to see how so much is the same all thanks to you intercutting the scenes from the game.

@Conversations with Curtis sent me here. Great video!! This is still one of my favorite games. Thank you for cluing me in on where these places are and their real names. +1 sub! :)

this is fantastic! - thank you so much for this!!

Awesome job! I really enjoyed this!

Wunderbar video, mate. I simply loved your video with all my heart. You managed to trigger my nostalgia on three levels: first you made me want to play gk2 one more time, then to visit Bavaria again and the final level would be still visiting Bavaria, but having the game locations in mind. I know, because I've been there too. Still, you managed to find some locations I totally missed, through no other fault than my own, like Schloss-Ritter; sorry you didn't get to visit the castles and the King's Museum (those are basically the crown jewels when it comes to the Ludwig mythos). Also, I remember I made a reservation online prior to visiting Neuschwanstein castle (I didn't even want the shadow of a chance to ruin the experience of me visiting it). Here's hoping that you'll return there and complete all the GK2 locations. Cheers!

Very nice!

good work, ich habe das Spiel seit 1995 unzählige male gespielt. i love this game. never forget this game.

Ha, I was a programmer on this back in the 90's. Cool to see all the sites that were used in the game. Now I want to play it again. :)

Thanks so much for this - I really enjoyed it! GK2 is one of my favorite games.

awesome video. been thinking about GK2 a lot lately and in my opinion is not only the best of the series but one of the best fmv adventure games ever made. very interesting upload.

Woooow ! You're video is so cool ! I will never forgot all those marvelous hours playing to Gabriel Knight 2 The Beast Within... in 1998 now. When I played, I was like in another world. This game was magic. It's so great sharing the real places of the game !! Great Great work !

Fantastic! A really nice tribute to an epic game!

Awesome video my friend, thank you so much :D

This was the first PC/Windows '95 game I bought as a youngster ! Many years later I finally got to travel to Neuschwanstein Castle, which was as beautiful as I had seen in the game and imagined it would be in real life. It is amazing how educational some games can be. Loved this location finding expedition - it must have been a lot of fun finding all the places that they used.

Cool video. I was completely blown away when I played this game years ago. Would love to do the same trip!

This was such a Great video 👍👍👍 Although I live in Germany over never been in this places before. Thanks for this trip and nice memories on the beast within

Great video

I LOVE your video! It was so well made! I am planning to do the 1st GK locations in New Orleans once the lockdown is over

Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!!!! This is awesome!!!!

This is a great video .you remembered me a lot of good and mysterious memory I had with this game.

This is incredible ❤️❤️

Awesome!

This is one heck of a video. I actually haven't played Beast Within yet (it's on my list) but I loved Sins of the Fathers and will definitely rewatch this once I finish GK2. This must've been a heckuva lot to work to plan and film, well done.

Really great video. Very clever and almost has a vlog feel as well as a game review which is really unique.

Since you love gabriel knight 2 you are a friend. subbed

Thank you for sharing this wonderfull locations. I'm a huge fan of the franchise. God speed. Best wishes from Brazil.

Thanks for your work!:)

this video made me so happy thank you :)

This is awesome! But really you needed to come to Oakhurst, CA where most of it was filmed :) I love that people still love this game - it was a blast to be a part of!

This is great! Makes me want to play the game again.

How exciting!😁

Wow, really above and beyond. Your best video yet! I'm glad I suggested Gabriel Knight, probably my favorite adventure series of all time. Will we be getting full reviews in the future (rubber chickens, pulleys, etc) of these games? This really takes me back, pure dopamine. Pure adventure. Pure history. Crazy how the locations are almost all exactly the same, and being snow covered makes it cooler. I just realized after all these years that the people in the square are playing When the Saints Go Marching In is a nod to New Orleans being the location of the first game. It's crazy to me that the zoo really has such a little fence for those wolves (12:35). I actually turned my head and went NO! NOOOO! when you munched on that Weisswurst. Brutal!

Amazing video, I love GK, best adventure games ever.

oh boy.....its awesome👍

I am from germany but never got to visit these locations. So thanks for sharing the impressions with us. :-)

Awesome trip! I like your t-shirt too.

I'm geeking out!!! Love this!!! 💜

Amazing, I remember my brother playing this when i was young. Once started myself but didnt have the patience, liked its atmosphere tho, cheers!

I thought this was pure fiction. I had no idea there was a place like this. Jermanny. World is crrazy!

This is tremendous.

Awesome stuff. I did my own tour of the GK2 locations about 20 years back which covered the castles (including Linderhof, which is not in the game), Bayreuth, Altötting and some of the locations in the Munich area. Most of them are portrayed quite accurately, down to the interiors (with small exceptions like the paintings in the Sängersaal at Neuschwanstein). I remember I kept humming themes from the soundtrack while on site. Spectacular trip. Two things I noticed in your video: - The external view of Neuschwanstein that's used in the game (and most everywhere else) is the one from the Marienbrücke, which is located to the south of the castle and crosses a river gorge. Not sure it would've been wise to cross during a blizzard at night! - The castle opposite Neuschwanstein is Hohenschwangau, which isn't technically considered one of Ludwig's castles because it was not built by him; his father, Maximilian, had it rebuilt and converted to its present form. Ludwig did spend his childhood there, though.

What amazing vídeo and trip! If one day I go to German, I’ll do the same tour

The old man that runs the guesthouse in GK2 is also the one that voices the guy who runs the Goodsoup Resort in Curse of the Monkey Island. Fits huh.

This is great. Sorry the weather and the daylight didn't agree with you so much. Hope it was a blast!

Achtung! Very interesting video. In my eyes the game became more living and you became more like a video game character. Good work, Kamerad.

Great vid

love this video have see it like 3 times now

Amazing effort, thank you it means a lot
