Dragon Warrior 2 (Final Boss) -Nintendo-

[NarutoGirlz10]

i was 11 when i used to rule at this game

[borntorazehell777]

oh man that music <3! that takes me back... unforgettable!

[ZekeThompson22]

Such a cool final boss!

[GC123roxors96]

It's good to hear Malroth's theme in it's original glory after hearing it first in Dragon Quest IX.

[WalterSlovak]

Started playing this again a few years back - after years of player-friendly Final Fantasy and the like, I forgot how much goddamn leveling up was involved. Maybe when I retire in 40 years I'll finally beat this one.

[Tigranis]

This was almost exactly like the first time I fought Malroth... except for the bit where Malroth used HealAll on himself and finished my now weakened party. >_<

[paladinartea]

oh did anyone ever visit the Dragonlord's Grandson after they beat malroth? I did. He wanted to declare peace.

[paladinartea]

Wow. You know one of the times I fought Malroth, I had the Princess cast Chance and it created a roar that scared him away. I thought I had won the fight, but two seconds later he came back mad as crap and wiped out my party lol.

[melosebrainuhoh]

Man, RPGs did NOT mess around back then. I played all four of the NES DW games and never finished any of them. Just too much leveling if you wanted to survive. Though I think RPGs have swung too far in the other direction today; you almost have to try to get killed.

[WheelchairMania]

The intro... Nothing better than being able to remember some awsome childhood moments.

[Beholder552]

HOLY SHIT YOU ARE LEVEL 37 NO FUCKING WAY!!!!!!!!!!!1 I WAS LEVEL 80 SOMETHING WHEN I FOUGHT THIS GUY AND HE WAS HARD AS DICK!!!!!!!!! Maybe the final boss for game boy was harder.

[FireEmblemForever]

@Beholder552

Level 80? I believe the cap for the main character is only 45 and the other two cap at like 35.

[Beholder552]

@FireEmblemForever No theres no way I am sure I was at bare minimum level 75 or higher, I played dragon warrior 1 and 2 for game boy color not the one for nintendo.

You could have taken a short cut back to the village through that building! Why did you take the long cut?

[Jonhny2]

I hate the looonnnggg cave you have to go through before you could get to Hargon's castle. Damn, powerful monsters kept coming and coming and coming...

I had to use emulator savestates to clear that irritating long cave!

[Audiomancer]

@Jonhny2

Yeah, that cave sucked. Not only were the enemies really hard, you kept falling through the floor, too.

[KakarottX]

Atlas were the toughest boss ='/

[edr777]

Great video...thanks for the memories. Man this game is a ballbuster...but very fun and rewarding! I certainly remember the Lake Cave and those damn cobras or whatever they were...but the cave to Rhone made me cry a few times as a kid...even a max level party can get wiped out in a heartbeat in that freakin' place! 0_o

[nobodyitellyou]

I seem to remember the accused members of moonbrooke having something interesting to say if you visit them after the defeat of Hargon and Malroth in the NES version. It was a while ago, though, and I cannot fathom what it might have been.

[ElectricFuzzball]

Dear GOD was this game hard... it was so awesome though. One of the best in the series, seconded only by DW3.

[30mancode]

You can actually one hit this dude with a Chance spell...but just like its name/ it works or it might kill you...lol

[KryssKayoss]

Noticed at 2:55, the video shifts a bit. Were you trying to make room for the rest of the battle/ending?

[shineph]

The hardest of all Dragon Quest, no doubt about it.

[jimbles666]

The hardest one by a long shot! I remember the final boss not being the hardest part of the game, but the final dungeon/cave before you go Hargon's Castle was incredibly frustrating.

[orelas1]

What? No Shield of Strength for the Princess?

Nasty trick that Malroth has. Parry doesn't work very well on him.

[netvana]

i used to love the world map music so much!

[TheRealBengui]

The spell "defence" works on that boss.

[silverbasscross]

can i get companions on the GB version?

[Demonbang]

yes

[omega197]

according to my calculation hargpn has 570 - 600 hp and malroth has 250 - 300 hp ( im not joking )

[RPGFan28]

its because Hargon keeps using healmore

[javoman13]

cool game.

[Floyd5642]

I beat this game, but I forgot about this guy after the first final guy.

[RPGFan28]

i would give PoC a Falcon Sword for some reason he causes hargon and malroth more

havoc in 1 hit than the Iron spear

[matrixandraia]

Well played. Hargon/Malroth is such a huge step up in difficulty compared to the Dragonlord from DW1. I don't even think DW3's last boss is as hard as this one.

[InspectorIncognito]

THIS ENTIRE GAME is a step up in difficulty from...hell, most of the others.

Who all remembers going to the Lake Cave and getting murdered by the snakes over and over?

[MattiasXL]

Oh...I was murdered in many other places...many times.

[fantasto5]

@InspectorIncognito It took me 7 MONTHS to like this game...DX

[furbearingbrick]

This is a classic "NOT SO FAST BUCKO!" moment. The main villan of the story's toast, yay, you turn around, start to head back, and OMG! When I first saw this, I nearly wet my pants (come on, I was only 12.)
