Let's Play Wizardry 1, Part #11 - Trebor Sux (End Game)

[toljuska]

I play only Wizardry 8, I haven´t others. And honestly ECEN, I'm very surprised. this big difference in the game I expected. I deliberately tried to find it, I could look like. Well ... I think I will stay at 8 :)

Werdna (as well as Greater Demons, etc) can be completely trivialized with the Haman spell. The only issue is you have to level up beyond 13 so you can cast it a few times, but you're pretty much guaranteed to get a good effect out of it. Destroy/Teleport Monsters will kill everything (who needs Tiltowait?), Silence Monsters will shut him up without failure (who needs Montino?) and Augment Magic will nullify all enemy magic resistance, meaning he'll be hit by anything you toss at him.

I loved this game in 1982...on my Apple //

It was great.

It's trippy seeing the game like this. I've only ever played this game in PC version. I played it in the original version on my brother's IBM PC back in the day and I've played it on newer PCs when they released the Wizardry Archives.

I've beaten the NES version of Wizardry I last night and noticed a couple things that make the Super Famicom version much easier than the NES or PC/Apple ][e versions:

1) Werdna doesn't seem to spam Tiltowait in the SNES version like he did in the NES version. and..

2) ASCII Entertainment (AKA Nexoft), seemed to have nerfed Werdna's magical resistances, as it only took 4 castings of Montino to silence him.

I haven't played the NES version myself but, yes, the Super Famicom version is definitely the easiest in general. Although, if I remember correctly Werdna CAN be quite the Tiltowait spammer if he feels like it (I think I replayed this boss fight several times before being able to record a successful outcome).

This Let's Play is pretty awesome. I was never good at Wizardry as a kid, but something always calls me back to it. Games like this and rogue-likes always interest me since they are pretty challenging.

I really like that fact that in the beginning you are marauding around with your ridiculous walking sounds (like x-com soldiers) murdering creature, ghost, and humans a like for no real reason.

So it took you around 2 hours to beat the game? I have an old game sitting around somewhere that has lvl 25 characters on it and I still haven't killed werdna, course I haven't tried either.

[Demiath]

No, it took me a lot more than 2 hours (I don't quite remember, but probably around 12 hours). I don't know which version of Wizardry 1 you played, but this SNES port is probably the easiest one by far. The original Apple and DOS versions are much more challenging.

[20th0000]

I have it on reg Nintendo.

not much of an ending ya know, i had expected more animations and whatnot as this is a remake :)

but congrats on beating the game, will you do Wizardry II next?

[Demiath]

No, there won't be any new LP from me anytime soon; I'm too busy with my new modded PS2 (which is retro gaming too in a way, I guess...).
