Ways to Die: Quest for Glory 4 (Part 1)

[tornadoe13]

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

[supersims796]

Why in the hell does he fall like that?

[mustangphil84]

I remember watching my brother play this when he was about 5/6. He always used to call it 'Christopher Glory'

[MrJoshuaSalway1990]

NOTE TO SELF: Learn how to breathe water before making out with a rusulka!

[MasterZebulin]

@MrJoshuaSalway1990 Humans cannot breathe water...

[MrJoshuaSalway1990]

@MasterZebulin No shit Sherlock, I was commenting on the death message.

[MasterZebulin]

@MrJoshuaSalway1990 WELL! Just for that, I'll see to it that you'll NEVER get lucky with the Rusulka!

[MrJoshuaSalway1990]

@MasterZebulin And just exactly are you going to do that, simple peasant?

[MasterZebulin]

@MrJoshuaSalway1990 I'm no peasant. And exactly HOW is by getting a satellite laser.

[MrJoshuaSalway1990]

@MasterZebulin I don't think you know just how expensive building and operating a satellite laser is!

[Nonamearisto]

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...

[appleshorse]

Hehe what is to the right of you at 0:47? It looks kinda funny....

[eyeball300able]

I didn't know that dead men can talk you to death!

[r0bz0rly]

rusalka death is the best death anyway.

[Ekidna2000]

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:'(

[Gargantua606]

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.

[ChouanB]

Ho my god, the rabbit killer, like in Holy Grail ! Amazing. ^^

[swedichboy1000]

H.P LOVECRAFT FOREVER!!!! :D

[swedichboy1000]

NECRONOMICON !!!!

[SirSarendor]

When I played this game, I expected the death animations to look much more violent. (the third game has quite violent ones, and this game has its horror theme.) I must say I was quite glad when I saw the reality. (Comic deaths are funnier than bloody ones in my opinion.)

[tomatzu]

14 Carrot Death, a tribute to Monty Python and the Holy Grail no less.

[janors]

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).

[wolf359x]

Is it possible to install QFG Anthology to run on Vista?

[MrWhitman]

You have to use DOS Box. Otherwise, no.

[akrug79]

LOL  "Cyanide Sayonara"

[jtd786]

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.

[JRock620Productions]

Lol fire-breatheing wannabe!

[Rainbowdragon2]

the old man TALKED you to death? Is that what happened?

[HugoLuman]

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

[Iori400]

0:27 now thats what i call a game over :D

[thegameulost]

>necrophilicon

I thought it was Necronomicon? Necrophilicon kind of sounds like something from Dr. Cranium's porn stash. Frankie would know what I'm talking about.

[AuronSigerthel]

1:17 Looks like the room of death.

3:30 A reference from Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

[Isacson81]

i just love the ironic jokes !!

[CheeseThief]

I love those puns :D

[LucyFur1984]

Please tell me I'm not the only one thinking that this thing at the fireplace in the second scene looks like a golden penis.

[Ultima72]

now that you mention it... :S it really looks like it...

[xboxlivecansuckit]

7:43 what killed you? broken arm?

[MrWhitman]

Lack of stamina.

[sbcmarine81]

"You saw wet hoe, you did not slow. Turned not away, you've had your day."

[atndybeach]

Where do you get this game?

[superkeijikun]

3:28

His ass just got Monty Python'd!

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

"RUN AWAY!!!" (Just couldn't resist.)

[meth41]

7:08: Uh, yeah. Just make reasons for death that had not even been invented back in those days.

[FrostyTheDragon]

Considering the setting, that's probably actually a magic-based trap.

[Darkmoone1]

4:35 WTF just Happend?! O.o

[HBKFuckingOwns]

captain picard used to narrorate old games? i never knew this. lol

[Squiglypig]

It's actually Gimli doing the narration :3

[Sanven22]

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.

[Ascyltos]

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.

[Ascyltos]

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."

[Ascyltos]

Narrator sounds like Christopher Lee.

[demonofhiddenmist]

The very first death is hysterical. "That hectapus had the muchies ever since it got stoned."

[DeusXMachina2]

2:55

"Give up the ghost"

This sounds like english for runaways x-D

[Rancidpunx999]

hah i love the voice when the guy is talking about the six tentacled creature

[ShadiacThylacine]

"Megavolt jolt"??? OMG hahahaha!!

[Shadowsonggg]

How did you get the voice acting to work?

[MrWhitman]

Leave the CD in the drive. If you're asking about the DOSbox thing, You have to mount the CD drive as well.

[Shadowsonggg]

Aww. I downloaded it off some website, as a dosbox application itself, no CD, nothin'... I used to own this game but i lent it to my friend and haven't seen it since.

[zeldafanboy345]

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?

[TyrannisUmbra]

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.

[TyrannisUmbra]

That was odd, I replied to

zeldafanboy345 and it put the comment up here.

[zeldafanboy345]

thanks helped me a lot

[thegameulost]

YAY! A killer bunny!

[FFL2and3rocks]

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.

[RagamuffinImp]

he said in the comments a while ago that he has that one, but I didnt see it

[Maniaxe613]

That guy at the very beginning sounds like Fozzy Bear!

[Raymondo2123]

3:28 was i the only person who thought of Monty python and the holy grail or spam alot

[thetwentyfourth]

Totally. I reckon the developers put that killer bunny in there in direct reference to Holy Grail.

[TheCakeisalie1234]

lol at 7:30 You just throw some rocks, then for no reason, you die. Epic Fail

[RealParadoxBlues]

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.

[jtd786]

To be fair, you'd always get a bunch of warnings when you're starving or exhausted.

[ChairmanKam]

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.

[poopskinTheLiar]

Necrophilicon?! JEEZ, WHAT WERE THOSE GUYS READING?! AND WHY DO THEY HAVE THAT BOOK?!

[MasterZebulin]

Necrophilicon? What the heck is that?

[OvaltinePatrol]

As far as the combat in this series is concerned, you pretty much have to let them kill you to lose.

[MettanAtem]

Pwned by Killer Rabbit! XD

[GameMaster2k5]

I noticed you skipped most of the lake woman encounter.

[MrWhitman]

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.

[GameMaster2k5]

Nah, I was just curious.

[D2RCR]

7:28 - Looks like when you starve to death, you quickly teleport back to some other location. Glitch?

[MrWhitman]

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.

[redeyedbandit1251]

holy shit 3:28 is the killer bunny from Monty Python!!!

[etoileangelique324]

Hmm. I think you may have missed a death, not too sure

Keep on resting in the burgomeisters office until daytime.

Qick question as well. Do you plan to make a "Ways to Die" video for QFG5?

[MrWhitman]

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.

[etoileangelique324]

Understandable. Thanks for the videos anyways :)

[etoileangelique324]

Found anohter death recently (Damn, I play this game too much)

At the very beginning, at the Pit Horror cave, walk up to the edge. You'll get a warning message at first, but do it again, and *burp*.

[ArrowDynamicsX]

These are great, and there's an unofficial patch out there that allows you to run QFG 5 on modern computers, so if the problem was getting it to run, then that's resolved.  Just google QFG5 XP or QFG5 Vista.

5 Stars.

[MrWhitman]

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.

[ArrowDynamicsX]

Ah. You ever consider Hypercam or FRAPS?

[MrWhitman]

I'll give it a shot.

[etoileangelique324]

Thank you for uploading! BEST GAME EVER!

[chaohellsing]

Ah this is the best game ever

[Kizor]

The narrator's speech at around 2:20 is a curious example of mimicking the circumstances he's explaining - I don't remember ever hearing a similar one, though there has to be a burbled underwater scene out there somewhere.
