 Welcome back everyone to another episode of Let's Play Dragon Quest 2 on Nintendo Switch. Last episode we came to this town, this river port town. What's the town called again? Ripple port. That's exactly what it's called. Okay Ripple port. Basically this girl was being attacked by some Hargon's forces because apparently these people don't realize that you're supposed to check the walls and make sure there's no cracks or like you know penetrations in but yeah regardless of that we have earned this boat now for saving her. Before the guy said he won't give it to us but now he's letting us have it. Also I just spotted something I wanted to see. What is a bunny girl doing here? Oh a heartfelt puff puff. Where are you? I should look no further than she. Wait if you say no does the fair maiden deed with whom travels? Where are you? I should look no further than me. She's my cousin okay this is well I mean they are they are royalty after all they kind of the royal families in like England and stuff do do hang do do that kind of stuff. Oh look puff puff. So I wonder what the princess thinks about that. I think the princess is probably upset about that. She's like why is this guy getting a puff puff? Oh yes I did pluck your own granddaughter from Jaws of Fate. He's so slow. Alright we're gonna take the boat out. Take the boat out for a little spin. It's a very nice boat. Now according to the map I can't zoom in right? Now watch this listen to the music when I get off the boat listen to the music. You recognize that don't you? You know where we are? This is Alifgaard from the original Dragon Quest. This is where the entire events of the original Dragon Quest took place and we're here. Isn't that crazy? Oh crap mannequins. It has tougher enemies though. Spells. No I didn't mean not mean to do that. Spells. Sizz. Spells. Woosh. So we are oh it didn't work. It doesn't work on him. There must be like spell proof or something. Anyway we are in Alifgaard right now and the original Alifgaard music is here. Mud mannequins. Kind of creepy. And that must be Tentacle Castle. Now isn't this a familiar sight? There's Charlotte Castle right across the river just like in the original Dragon Quest and there's Tentacle Castle and if you notice the actual town next to Tentacle Castle is not there anymore. The reason why is because in the original Dragon Quest too there was memory constraints so they couldn't fit the entire content of Tentacle and Alifgaard into here. So they trimmed it down a little bit and they incorporated the town of Tentacle into the castle. So this is okay if you notice it looks exactly like the Tentacle Town originally right? Like the weapon shop is here. There's like a door here. There's an old man here. There's a shop here. There's an inn here. It's kind of similar but not quite. So this is the castle it's all incorporated in and we've got a weapon shop here. I forgot I have no money. Uh yeah this would make me really awesome and kick like serious ass but I don't have any money so I guess it can't be helped. Oh the heck? What is that? Okay hold on a sec. Uh yes I am the descendant of the mighty Erdrick. This is my ancestral home of Tentacle. Wow. The Dwarf here castle. Tentacle Fair Princess Gwailin. The legends tell that she quit this place to journey forth outside of who did deliver the world from darkness. Oh. Oh so I can save here cool. So we can save here and we're gonna continue of course. Hello. Lights shine upon the signs of Erdrick. That's cool. That's pretty badass. So what's going on here? Where's the king? I don't have the right key. I don't have the right darn key. What's going on here? A tale of sunken treasure? No. A merchant in Rippleport who is possessed of a great fortune. He loaded untold treasure into the hole of a northbound ship and it sunk. So north of here there's a treasure interesting. There's a lot to explore here. Oh this must be a dead end shop. Let's see it's got a wing, a chicken wing, a banishing bell. It's kind of not worth the money if I'm being honest. Okay let's head up. Let's head up. Some soldiers here. A gold key to open a gold lock. Nobody has the gold key though. King himself deserted his subjects. That king was hiding right? We know where the king is. All right if I open this door I can open this door right? Oh yes. I can open the door and the keys don't just destroy it. What? I don't even know. Okay let's just get out of here. This place is a waste of time. He's hiding in the freaking attic of the weapon. He's hiding in the... Let me show you where the king is. He's hiding because he's so scared of the dragon lord. Look at this. He is hiding. I can't open the door. He's hiding from Hargon's forces because he's so scared. But what a... And he's a descendant of Erdric. He has to be if he's ruling over the castle. That's the only thing that makes sense. Or is he? He is the descendant of Erdric right? Or maybe not. But anyway let's explore the gold times. Did I even rest up? I should rest up actually. They got an in here right? Yeah I'm gonna rest up actually at the inn. Then we'll leave. Better be three gold. Six gold. That's a little expensive. That's two per person. All right so we're heading off. I think there might be a hint. We should go to Charlotte Castle. That's my my gut feeling is telling me we should go there. So we're gonna head off yeah to Charlotte Castle. What's funny is the entire Aleph Guard is... If you look at the entire Aleph Guard is modeled but there's only a few cities because the cities they couldn't they couldn't render all these cities in an NES cartridge right? Obviously not. Okay there's a cave. I attack you you sciss them and you will whoosh them poison bog. I attack you you sciss them you actually you attack him and you will whoosh them. All right so we made it. And flee. Okay looks like I can. Oh it's not all dark like it was before. And this is where the sleeping dragon slept before. Is a Rimmeldar still there? Oh no it's it's not there anymore. That's kind of sad that the entire town's not like it's not there anymore. It is missing. Where should we go now? I guess we should go to Charlotte Castle now right? Oh some track. Oh no. Please okay this is not good. I didn't realize I was so so damaged. Okay well they're doing a good job these guys. Okay she she rescued me. Somebody leveled up. Someone leveled up. 14. I got any medicinal herbs or we'll head off. One damage. Might as well just run. Just about had it. I'm just about done with you guys. Okay so Charlotte Castle I wonder what's here. I mean the dragon lord was defeated years ago. What could possibly be here? It's all ruined. You see this the entire castle's all destroyed and this must be behind the throne room where it was originally. The hidden circle stay at the bottom. This looks oddly similar to the original. You know it's very it's very accurate. Oh no saber cats. They look a bit different than the ones in the later games don't they? And a mummy boy. Okay they're tough. They're not easy. Well he just died. He just freaking died again. I can't believe he just died. Again we are he's dead again. Okay now I don't have healing powers anymore. Wait how much health does she normally have? Can't tell exactly how much health she's normally supposed to have but what? Then just flee. Okay just keep fleeing. There's something in this place that I need to get. So we gotta plan out our strategy. This is the only one place to go. Lee. Surprise is working. You see the treasure chest right there? You know what that treasure chest is. What's in there right? You know what's in there. That's what I'm here for. I need to get that. And it's odd it's very early in the game and we're already getting that. I gotta say run. Okay so now we are on the third floor. I just have to think about where we should go because there's a lot of staircases here. Okay I'm poisoned now. These enemies are really tough. Do I have any antidotal herbs? Oh I got a bunch. These heal me. That staircase should be bringing me somewhere now. Three path down. Up. The prize I'm managing to flee from everyone so far. Okay so now this is a place with a lot of staircases. There's three different staircases here. I have to think. I'm just thinking of where I should go. 11 to 13, 13 to 14. Okay try this. Oh there it is. Now you know what this is. You know what this is. It's our ancestors. Our ancestors gift to us. Erdrick's sword. There's no epic music or anything like that. It would just... oh you had Erdrick's sword. Hey it's no big deal. Yeah it just increases my attack by about a 25 extra. Yeah I'm equipping this. Okay thank you. I've got this awesome sword that I'm going to destroy evil with now. It's just not... it's not no big deal though you know. Whatever just a typical typical day for me. And of course I'm not gonna use it yet because I'm outnumbered drastically. All right we're going downstairs now. We're going... This is the the original U path to get to the dragon lord fleeing from you. I've managed to flee from every person so far. Okay okay wow we're really good at fleeing. This is really confusing. Who's that on the right? You see that? Oh my goodness. Okay okay please heal yourself. Come on heal yourself heal yourself. This is tough. It's tough because she could easily die just from a couple steps on this thing. Small steps we gotta take. That spells is really powerful. Powerful stuff. All right we're gonna have to mid heal her now. I might as well mid heal myself also. 146. 1054. Full plate. See the strength. Okay how much is that going to... it's exactly the same. He's dead. She's dead. Oh she's not dead but... well there's no point in me buying that then and I've got a lot of money now looks like. Was it worth almost killing myself though? We're not gonna make it out of here. We're gonna die if we leave. And it's not gonna be worth it. She's dead. I'm dead. Oh no. Okay well the money we just got we got split in half and we didn't get anything from it. Okay okay bring them back to life please. Okay bring him back to life. If he wasn't so useless he would have been able to save us. Her back. Right now she's back and that was kind of worthless going in there but we gotta go fight that dragon lord guy. Get rid of the dragon lord still alive. Hey you know we have more money than we started out with at least. I'll say that much. Let's see the chain sickle. Oh yeah we also got full plate armor. Now wait can he equip that chain sickle? 60 for me. It'll make him 41 but maybe yeah I should sell it and I should probably sell some something else to give anything else that can be sold. Super stick. Super stick. Cypress stick. Okay uh kind of get ourselves something. Plain clothes. 1993. And then I could use an antidol herb. You don't want to sell one of those. Okay just one antidol herb I'll sell. 2001. My favorite movie. Okay now where the heck is the bank? Where's the bank at? There's gotta be the bank around here right? I want to lose all my money. All right whatever. Maybe we can afford an armor set of some sort now. Okay we could buy buy something. Steel broadsword. You know what? Look of evasion in the iron helmet. I don't have money for that. If I bought the steel broadsword that would make me a lot stronger and then you know what I could do? I'm gonna equip this and now here's what I'm gonna do next. I'm gonna give the legendary sword of Ertrick to this guy because you know what it makes a bigger difference for him than it does to me. At least now we're kind of equal now you know. Oh look at that. Oh and that's easy. I didn't realize that would happen. We don't even have to go all the way that all that way then. All right so I think I memorized where to go. Hopefully he does not freaking die on us again. Die die die. Oh you poisoned her. You poisoned her. Yeah you don't you don't want to mess around with these guys. Heal her. Put that on her. Okay now let's move forward. He's got the sword of Ertrick which means he's stronger now. See. Deeply flea. All right she's gonna he's gonna heal himself because I know he's gonna die eventually so he might as well heal himself. And as you can see that treasure chest is not opened which means we've gotten the treasure from it. We're just gonna keep fleeing until we until we get there. Now I remember where we need to go. We go up here. It's a lot less complicated than was in the original Dragon Quest. Do not make me snooze. Basil. Come on. We've come on. Okay nice. We all almost died. Heal yourself now. Everyone almost died just now. Okay so we go down here. We go up here. I flee. And it doesn't work because I suck. Okay attacking. Okay now he's gonna heal himself. Heal the girl. He's gonna mid heal me. Go downstairs. Go down here to the left. Okay and then you go across. This is just like the original Dragon Quest Dragon Lord dungeon. All right now we're not going up there because that's gonna kill us and we don't need that in our lives. We go around here. Let's fight this Dragon Lord. Let's get ready to mess him up like our ancestor did. How is he still alive? How's the Dragon Lord still alive? How does this make any sense? All right what do you want? So thou come before me at last. I'm the great great grandson of the Dragon Lord. Master of Masters Kings and Kings. This is the Dragon Lord's great grandson. It's one named Hargon. Wait so he wants me to take on Hargon for M and team up? What if I say no? You will not leave this place. He'll tell me something important if I take on Hargon so he's on our side. Five Sigils. You might earn the protection of your dear mistress. The seat to the south where Kantlin once stood there's an island. Journey south from here and you will surely find it. Take the five Sigils there and receive your blessing. Then you can face your foe. So he's on our side. Wow. I gotta say I'm impressed. Oh we hit our head in the ceiling. Gotta say I'm a bit impressed that he's actually on our side this time. Did not expect that. Though the Dragon Lord the great grandson sees him as a mutual threat that we should both team up to defeat. Why we're going? Why is he still saying his baddies after us then if he wants us to be friends? I guess he's not that bad after all then. Okay we're heading on here. You're not like that cobra. One bit. Don't kill me. Please don't kill me. Okay I'm dead. Okay he's dead. She's dead. Okay now we're all dead. Everyone's dead. Resurrect him. That's a lot of money for a guy who's completely useless. All right. Whatever. We have loyalty to each other. Nip 35 that's worth it. Nope. Don't need anything else from you. We know what we need to do. We need to go where Kantlin once was and we know where Kantlin is. Imagine if you're not a Dragon Quest fan you don't know where Kantlin is. You know imagine if you were in Dragon Quest at a boat would that be crazy? All right so this is where Kantlin is. Or it was at least. There's an island south of Kantlin. I see the island. Take the Siglet of the Sigils there and then we'll get a power unlike any other. Hawkman. At least Hoth. Come on Sword of Erdrick. Ben's, his defense is so bad that's why there's a joke about Prince of Kanak always dying while somebody leveled up. Who was it? It was her. Holy protection. All right so you gotta heal yourself bud. I wanted to check out this. Is this a shrine? You are the blood on a blood of Erdrick. Do you have proof of your birthright? What? Is that what I think it is? Is that the helmet of Erdrick just sitting there? So this guy is not going to give it to us unless we have proof. What is this? What is this? The sun? Okay we already got one of the Sigils in. So this one on the right brought us here wherever we are. Okay there's a random island we are on. All the way in the bottom right hand corner of the map. That's odd. This is fast travel in this game. You gotta figure out which of these portals to take. It's claimed that Serendia awake those who enter the Hollow Paragon. He needs a golden key. Okay where am I now? That's very far away. I gotta say. Maybe we should move from here. Check this place out. These guys. I didn't think there would be such tough enemies here. Don't kill us. Okay I'm dead. All right you gotta zoom us out of here bud. All right you can zoom us to Dantico Castle. I'm gonna bring the hero back to life. Some hero he is I guess. It is such a maze getting around here. 70 gold yeah I'll take it. I forgot how much of a headache this game is. All right let's get everyone healed up and then we can head back onto the road. This game at this point right? The game is not linear anymore. This game is open world. It's a true open world game. Those sigils you can get them in any order you want. You do not have to you know follow a specific order. You don't have to follow a specific order. Oh we're still poisoned. I thought I got rid of that. All right we'll swoosh these guys. Hopefully I get some EXP. I keep hitting X. I keep hitting X. I keep freaking hitting X. Okay who is Squelch? He has Squelch. Okay he's not poisoned anymore. Now let me think. Where was I supposed to go? I'm supposed to go south of Cantalinta. This is one island. That guy's a teleportal. Not even worth my time because how little EXP they're gonna give. Yeah yeah that's true. The non-material objects they're signifiers to quality qualities of soul itself. Okay whatever that means. This must be the tower of Rubus. They might come here after I get all seven. I was thinking of where to go. What was this tower called again? Some Gorgons. All right so this this tower is pretty tough. This is the lighthouse. I just realized because I'm trying to remember where to go considering where I went before. So if I'm correct they don't notice us but we're gonna flee. Best to avoid confrontations. Oh they're not nice. They're not very nice people. Don't hit her. Please work. Please work. Okay we're dead. We're dead. We're dead again. All right we're back in Cantalinta Castle. You know what let's just save again. 21 EXP will level me up. All right I think we'll end today's episode here. That was a lot of running around we did and we made it to the Dragon Wars castle. We met the Dragon Wars great grandson and we joined forces with him. He gave us a lot of good information. So yeah that's uh some good progress we've made. So yeah thanks for watching. See you next time when we continue our journey in Dragon Quest 2. Bye.
