 Welcome back everyone to another episode of Let's Play Dragon Quest on Nintendo Switch. Last episode we explored a big cave and got lots of good loot and we also got the new harp that the sage wanted. And we learned a secret, but the thing is we need a key in order to find the secret. So apparently hidden somewhere in the castle. Hidden somewhere in the castle is another one of the sages. So what we're going to do is use this money wisely to buy lots of good stuff and we're going to become stronger with our equipment. So we're going to head off to town to the nearby town. Anyway, we're not buying weapons from this guy, we're just selling, all we're doing is selling stuff. So let's see, I'm going to sell him, what am I going to sell him? Iron shield I already have, so I could just sell him that. All right, let me check, put a sworn I had more stuff that I found in that cave, I guess not though that's that's enough money I have right now. So we're going to head on over to the town of keys and we're not going to lose our keys this time like we did last time foolishly. All right, let's head on over, ghost appears he's done for, we also got a lot stronger by going to that cave. Ah, yes, the map makes the game much easier. Yeah, we're just not. Oh, it's just not going to work. We got to go to we got to go across the bridge. Built the battles need to be a bit quicker. That's one of my main complaints about this is just a little slow. The fact that there's a pause before and after you go into a battle or a ghosty, you're done. All right, so we're going to head down to this town. If I don't get killed first and there's no medicinal herbs or actually. I might as well do that. Yeah, I have to heal spell now. Yeah, you learn a lot of spells as you level up in this game. Just keep going down straight down and I didn't run to anybody at all. All right, it's not too bad. So we need to go where rain and sun meet. That's what a lot of people have been telling us. What does that mean, though? I think we'll find out soon. Apparently there's some sort of sun in the basement of the castle. OK, close. There's the town. It's around the mountain range. This is always a tough place to get to before. It's a lot easier now, though. Like I didn't run a single person. Hello, Rimmeldaar. Ah, yes. There's a shrine north of us is coal. All right, let's check out what he's got. Oh, that'll make me so tough. And that'll make me tough, too. And that'll make me really tough. And that'll make me super tough. I can afford both of these. So we're going to get a steel broadsword, a squizzed article. I'm going to equip it. And now I'm going to sell the old sword I had. OK, I'm going to buy now. I'm going to buy the iron armor and I'm going to equip it. Or anything else, sell the chain mail, sell that. I'm going to need the money for those keys. All right, let's look around a little more. We need to go get those keys. That's obvious. So the key shop is around here. You want to buy as many keys as you possibly can because they get destroyed every time you use them. It's not like Dragon Quest 2 where you have one key and it just works. You have to buy keys. You have to buy one, buy one another, buy another, another. I keep just buying them. Oh, he's not allowed to sell me that many keys. It's like one of those shops where you can only buy like two of an item because it's like it's a limited quantity. I'll buy all the keys this guy has. Now let's see. I should buy some medicinal herbs from this dude right here. I'm going to buy one of those. Just keep pressing A, press it again, press it again. You can't you can never have too many of these. I'll buy one of these wings. Just in case of emergencies. I don't have Zoom yet. How many do I have? I can just keep buying medicinal herbs until I'm all out. All right, it would be better if you could like say, hey, can you give me 10 instead of saying, oh, can I buy another? Can I buy another? Can I buy another? But I get like it's annoying. Oh, I can't carry you any more than that. I can only carry six at a time. That's stupid. All right, we're going to rest up. Yeah, sure, might as well have. I got to get rid of some money anyway. All right, we want to go south now. You spend all your money that way. If you get killed by the monsters, you don't really lose anything. All right, we're going south for the winter of Boware Wolf. Oh, I'm a lot tougher now. Oh, I see that I am tougher now. I think I'll be fine. Actually, I should probably heal. No reason not to stay. Stay healed. Oh, look at that to shrine. That's what I've been looking for. Oh, Scare Wolf. Oh, I beat him. Nice. I'm getting a lot tougher and I leveled up. The armor makes a difference. Glow, I'm guessing glow probably illuminates caves. That'll come in handy. All right. Oh, this. That must be him. If thou are the blood of Erdric, the one Trier, you must possess proof. Be gone. Hey, that was a nice of him. He's kicked me out. Yeah, he doesn't let you take take the item until you prove that you're Erdric's descendant. All right, so there's nothing on this content for us right now because we don't have proof that we are Erdric's descendant. So what we should do is. We should toss a wing in the air. Head over to the castle and investigate that a little more. So we are not the castle. You're at the castle. What you want to do is open this and then investigate around. I was told that Castle Dungeon was around here somewhere. Where's the Castle Dungeon? He's healing me. Where the heck was the Castle Dungeon again? I can't remember at all. Look, let me think. Where could it possibly be? I know there's a dungeon down here somewhere. I can't be wasting my keys either. Come on. Where the heck is it? What does this guy have to say? Maybe it's around the corner. There's no way it's hidden. Oh, look at that. Oh, well, look at that. Would you look at that? Yes, I am. He knows that I'm the descendant of Erdric and I will visit him. The holy sunstone of thank you. It's my birthright he said he's going to give me. So when rain and sun meet, he's going to sleep now? Well, I guess he's been standing there for a while waiting for me, huh? That's pretty cool. Seed of life. Additional herb. I can't care anymore. So I'll just leave it there. All right, Seed of life. Using that. Oh, I forgot I need to get more keys. That guy. Do I have any money? I have 200 gold. You don't want to run out of freaking keys because if you run out of keys, then you have to go all the way back to that place. Yes, I want a key. Give me another or a hiss. All right, so I have six keys, six of that. Now, where do we go now? Now, check in the map. There's only one place we can go. To the west. We're going to move westward and then south. Hopefully we can make it. Yeah, I think this is a good idea. Oh, a slime. These don't match for me. Okay, so now that we have all this good stuff, we have the Sun Stone, we have the Stony Stone. All right, here we go. There's the bridge. We just head south. Yeah, these guys are in no match for me now. They were tough before, but now I'm destroying them with my new broadsword, my iron armor. Getting money from that cave was a good idea. You buy good equipment. You can beat old baddies, Dracolite, and he got killed in one hit also. Nice. So I have two of the three items I need. I think we're off to a good start right now. So let's see. The map. Ah, where am I? Okay. Okay, you notice how the map cursor is really small, but in Dragon Quest 2, for the switch, it's like gigantic and it covers up like half the map of the area. They really botched that in the second game, I think. You cannot tell where the heck you are. Skilled the scrapper. Hopefully I can beat him. He's tough, but it's no match for me. I'm tougher. You guys stay away from the mountain rangers because they will always be tough. Oh, look out. Town. Thank you. Okay, now we're going to leave because this is a destroyed ruined town full of really powerful monsters and I do not want to get killed. So we're going to move and make a run for it because this is our tough area. If I could so tough, I should probably be healing right now. This is the point where you're supposed to be running. So the original one is harder because you didn't have a map. You can either go above that bridge up there or you can go below the land bridge. You go on the bridge on top top is a dead end and it will screw you over entirely. Actually, no, you want to go to the bridge up top, I think. Let me look. No, no. It's a dead end completely, actually. I'm looking at it. It's completely is completely a dead end. You do not want to go there. That's a trap. You want to go down here. This is where you want to go. Oh, oh, I'm out of slime. Oh, come on. That was so close. Dark skeleton tough. This is why you want to, this is why you want to run and then I tell you it was hard. Okay. So it's really tough. You need to run from those guys. That's the thing. No. Can't continue. I'm not saving after getting killed by that guy. Let's move. Let's move. I need to buy holy water. I need some of that water. Where is the item shop or actually the holy water? They sell it here. Right? Yep. I want one. I want one. Am I seriously all out of room and only carry so much in this game? I shouldn't have picked up the Sun Stone. That was stupid of me. Wait, is there a bank around here? Please tell me there's a bank around here that I can drop my stuff off at. Maybe it's... Is she the bank? Okay. So I'm going to deposit items. Okay. I'm going to give you the staff of rain. Okay. I'm going to use Sun Stone. Maybe I should give her the keys or that should be enough. We're going to grab some more of that water and then we'll be off. Okay. That should be good now. We're going to head off now and as soon as we get down to a certain point we will use that holy water to ward off all the monsters. It might not even work. You got to get really lucky. You got to get lucky. You got to run, run, run. That's what you got to do. Because you are not going to be tough enough to fight these guys. That's a little shortcut. You don't have to go all the way around. All right. Drag the light. Time to die. These guys are just easy. Those dark skeletons though, they're no joke. You don't want to mess around with them. They will kill you. These guys are super easy though. Okay. Okay. Almost down there. I'm running to so many guys. All right. We go down around the corner, around here. Gelton scrapper. I don't think I'll be fine unless, crap, I don't mean to do that. Okay. Okay. Holy water has been sprinkled away. Okay. Okay. Thank you. You flee. You flee. You flee. That's all you do. Okay. Metal slime, of course. Oh no. I'm using holy water again. Okay. Nice. We escaped. These guys all are tough. You got to run from all of them. Okay. Let's see how close we are. We are very close. But what you want to do is go up this mountain naturally. Taking this bridge is a trap. Okay. Successful escape once again. And nice. We're almost there. Flee. Flee. That is so annoying. This is really, really annoying. Okay. Okay. I'm going to keep going. I'm going to keep going. We're going to try this again. You don't understand how irritating it is for this to happen. It's tough. It's not easy getting to cantaline. It's really hard getting to cantaline because you're just not going to be tough enough to defeat these guys. You need to run from them. You need to run, run, run. Okay. No more keys. Hopefully I can get some holy water. I know you might think, oh, why aren't you fighting them? You can't just fight them. It's not going to work. It's not going to work out for you. Okay. Burn is too great. As soon as we get to cantaline, I swear, as soon as we get there, there's going to be a boss. So it's not even that's not easy. Oh, geez. Okay. We're getting close. All right. Press the gator. Scorpion, one hit kill. Come on. I remember those guys were one shot at me at first and now I'm destroying them. And now we're getting to tougher enemies again. Oh crap. We're almost there. That scorpion does not sound nice. Yeah. So we're going to be using some of this now. Nope. Nope. We're not fighting you. We're running from you. Okay. I'm using more. We're getting close this time or she has to go through. Okay. Nice. Nice. Yeah. These guys are not easy. They're tough. It's not hard. It is hard. It's hard getting up here. It's not easy. You. Shit. Okay. Please work. Yes. Emishield. Why would you do that? That was like a way so move. Okay. He healed even though he wasn't even attacked. The cosmic. Here it is. We're at the town. Awesome. Awesome. Now the golem. This golem is a golem that it that defends. It basically is the the defender of cantaline. So they use the golem to defend their town. Now what I'm going to do. You see that soothing melody on the fairy flute. This is a the weakness of golems which I was told otherwise he will kill me. Don't wake up. Don't wake up. Hopefully just put him back to sleep again. The fairy flute will always put golems to sleep. Okay. We're going to heal again. Please don't wake up. Please don't wake up. If he kills me I'm going to be so pissed. Just waking up. Don't wake up. Oh my goodness. No. What if I just run from him when he falls asleep? Can I just do that? I just want to continue. We're close though. Okay. Next time I'm just not going to fight him. I'm just going to run after I put him to sleep. Okay. That was a lot of grinding I just did actually. Now if we take a look. I'm now level 11 and I have 71 HP, 48 magic, 49 strength, 38 agility. I'm a lot stronger than I was before. That's about two levels I gained since the break. I decided not to record it because it was just walking around and grinding and that kind of stuff. So yeah now I have the power to defeat my enemies and look at how much money I've got. 4,027 gold. You know what that means. It's time to buy some better armor. We're going to kick that golem's butt now easily because with that armor, nobody can beat us. I mean think about it. I'll be able to take a hit and I'll be able to heal rapidly. I'll heal rapidly and I'll be able to basically to weight him out. The problem with that golem was that fighting him under level wasn't a good idea. But now I think I can handle him. So we're going to go for it one more time. The first thing's first. We need to go back to Rimmeldar. We're going to head to Rimmeldar and get that armor set that I want if we don't get attacked first. That is a lot of damage. All right, we're heading down and I'm still in good shape. Things are getting easier from here on out. Not too bad. All right. Okay, here we are. Skeleton. Skeleton man. Oh, I don't think I've all these guys yet. Well, I guess he wasn't that tough, a little disappointed. And as you can see, I'm getting a lot of gold. So now we keep going, I'm a werewolf. Two hits will take him out. Yep. Of course. All right, we're back in Rimmeldar and I'm just going to look around. All right, the guy who's talking about rings, he's here, right? Is that a ring of spy upon that finger? How does that know? Okay, so this is funny. If you take the were-ring and unequip it, and I talk to him, to where a ring is prudent even for a mighty warrior, such adornments are not solely for the province of preening maidens. So he's telling me I should get a ring. And now rings aren't just for women. I put a ring on. I put a freaking ring on like he told me to. Is that a ring? Have you no shame? That's for women only. Like, he's such a hypocrite, this guy. He tells me to put on a ring. I put on a ring and then he gets all mad at me and tells me that it's only for women to do. All right, we're here for this though. We are here for the full plate armor. Now the full plate armor and the magic armor both have similar qualities. One has 55, one has 55, but this one restores HP while you're walking. So we're going to get the full plate armor. This 3000 gold and I'm going to equip it. And of course I'm going to sell whatever I was wearing. The iron armor? Yeah, I'm selling that. Uh, sell what else? That's about it. I'm pretty stocked up on my defense right now. I should probably get some more keys. Yeah, two more keys should do. Hello, old man. Yes, I want a key. I want a key. I want a key. Oh yeah, no more. And I should get some wings. Some chicken wings. All right. Where's that chicken wing? All right. Now we're going to toss the chicken wing in the air. And of course, before we head off, we need to drop our money off of the bank. We don't freaking lose it all. So you can put in about 1000 gold. So I can put in 1000 gold. And I'll just leave it there. So we're going to get rest up. All right. Here we go. So now we're going to head off. That should be good. We're all stocked up on, well, I need some medicinal herbs. Let's grab some medicinal herbs. I can get three more. Okay, I'll take one. Take another. Take another. Another. You have to keep going back and forth. All right. I'll... Can I take any more? Ah, you can only carry six at a time. The dragon scale. What does the dragon scale do again? It increase your defense or something? Let me check. Who knows what it does? I forget what it does. Okay. Yeah. What we need now is magic water. Yes. I want one, I want one. Another. Another. Okay. So we have the magic water. The holy water. The magic water is what replenishes your magic. All right. So we're all set. Let's head off. Oh, wait. I forgot. The holy water. Actually, we can do that when we get closer. Now, you have to rely on running and escaping and all that because the enemies are too tough. All right. We're moving down. Moving south. South for the winter. Skeleton. No match for me, of course. See how much health I got now? I got 71 HP. That makes a difference. That makes a big difference. I'll be able to take like a couple more hits from the golem with that much health. A Scare Wolf. Not so scary. Actually, that's a lot. He is very scary. Heading south. Oh, he wasn't noticing. I could have hit him. Well, that was probably worth it, I'd say. 790. Now, that town we're not going to be really touching right now. We're not really, we're not strong enough to fight the guys in that town at the moment. Oh, he's healing himself. Okay, so we're going to sprinkle some of that water around now. Okay, a gold golem. These guys are good. Go watch this. U-Tac. U-Tac. U-Tac. Keep attacking. Watch this. Done. Now look how much gold I get. I'm going to get barely an AXB. Six AXB, right? 650 gold, which means I'm rich now. Now, we've got to make a run for it because the dark skeleton might show up. Skeleton soldier, Flea. Okay, nice. Managed to Flea. Okay, we're going to toss some more holy water. All right, let's move. Nope, we're running. Okay, that was good. We managed to run on our first try. And now, let me check the map again because we have the map. Might as well use it. All right, got to go north. Got to go north. Flea. Flea. Flea. I need another one of these. You've got to be prepared for this area. It's a good thing we're making it, though. Oh, look, a dragon. A freaking dragon. Isn't that a little early to be meeting dragons and whatnot? Okay, so here it is. Let's go round two. I hope we can do it. I have the flute, yeah, I have the flute. All right, let's go boss time. So now we're going to be using the flute. So I got to move first, as you can see. Which means I'm going to just attack the crap out of him. So I'm faster than him now. Getting to level 11 was enough. He's asleep. Attack. Attack. Boom. Attack. I got a little ahead of myself. I'm fast enough that I can... He wakes up. How can he wake up? The speed is what you needed, so I can just keep putting him back to sleep. I need to heal myself, though. Please sleep, please sleep. Okay. Please don't wake up, please don't wake up. Okay, he woke up. Which means somebody's fair flute again. All right, this is going to be an easy fight now. It would have been hard without it. He wakes up again. Got to be kidding me. Come on, buddy. He's asleep. Got him. Boom. Again. Again. Oh, he's awake? Not for long. This is kind of like cheating, but, you know, he shouldn't have such a bad weakness if he doesn't want it to be exploited. A little annoying how long it takes for him to play the music. Wanna go to sleep? Sleep. Oh, he woke up again. Holy crap. I didn't think you'd be faster than me. I thought I could outspeed him. All right. Don't wake up, don't wake up. Don't wake up, please don't wake up. Damn, okay. Okay, nice. He got lucky that one time he used his extra speed to punch me in the face. Okay, nice. I beat him. How much exp? 2,500. So I'm leveled up. The evac spell, which allows me to get out of any dungeon. And I don't have to backtrack. And I'm level 13. I leveled twice. The zoom spell, which means I don't need any more of those chicken wings. All right. So here we are, cantaline. This guy be cantaline. The impenetrable fortress of cantaline doth bid thee welcome. Wow, would you look at that? I made it. Well, it's been a tough 50 goal. That's a lot of money. That's a lot. All right. Hello. The legend to tell the armor of the mighty Urtrak has passed down from hand to hand. A dynasty of men till it came to the hands of Magog. So someone named Magog has the armor of Urtrak. A seed of resilience. Somebody use it. Immediately. Why not? Okay, who's Magog? Where is this Magog? Hello. The claws of the dragon lord render steel as if it were a parchment with his breath melt stone as if it were ice. Yeah, I'm still worried to fight him. Yes, I am a hero. How does he know who I am? Oh, hello. Well, I guess I should withdraw my money. All right, I withdrew my 1000 gold. Who are these guys? Carrots. Oh. That guy's a carrot salesman. I don't need any of these. Hello. Oh, she's wondering what to prepare. Our town wasn't closed within these mighty walls that my Rottering Monsters made. Might be kept at bay. Hmm. I have a key. It's better be worth it. His family attended a shop in a desert town in Damdara. His grandfather, Magog, monsters laid a waste to that ill-played place. The people who survived from that town came here to Kentlin. Whereabouts of his premises in Damdara? The east of town. Oh, nice. So that means Urtrak's armor must still be his father's shop in that town that we found, that destroyed town. We need to go back there to get the armor. Could we beat that guy, though? All right, hello. Armory. Okay, we've got some weapons here. Full plate. I'm already wearing that. Whoa. I already have that. I'm already fully equipped. Oh, I don't need any more of that. There's a priest there. I realize those fall into hands of the fiends. Should I give them a prayer? There's a lot going on here. Oh, they have an item shop there, too. And they also only sell two things. All right, hello. My father's father did tell Curious Tail. His friend, Magog, and his chest contained the great treasure which he buried beneath the tree behind his shop. That's gotta be Urtrak's armor. All right. Oh, this guy sells magic keys. All right, you're sure I'll take a call. Nope, I only need one. Hello. Humber Armory. This guy's an armor to Fireblade Silver Shield. That's a lot of money. Holy crap. Look how much money that is. That's a good defense, though. When I get money, I will go get that Silver Shield. Now, if you want to know something, getting the Fireblade is not really worth it, if you ask me. And you'll see why soon. Come down here so I can talk to you. Why is he in the corner hiding from me? Come down here, you fool. Talk to me now. Okay. How many Armory shops are there? There's like four of them. And this is all low-level equipment this guy's selling. He's selling crap here. There's so many different shops in the candle that you need to figure out which one to buy from. All right, we'll come back here in a second. Oh, hello. Long and long with darkness threatening land, a great hero descended beyond the heavens. The hero's name is called Urtrak. We sent by the... So the legend says that Urtrak was sent by the goddess from the heavens. Interesting. Now, we have full HP, 79 HP to be a matter of fact. If we get on here... Talk to that old lady. You've got to talk to Sage Lady. Hello? If you want her in search of a mark or seal, that would do all the visit the man in the house that worships south of us. Now, this is tough because if you walk around on here, you will die. So 65, 51, 37, 23. All right, now we gotta... This can kill you easily. This can easily kill you. Okay, so you gotta be careful. You gotta heal yourself. Okay, 37. Holy light protect me. What place? The very spot from which fair tentacle castle stands in mere 70 places north and 40 places west. That's where the seal is. The seal of Urtrak. All right. All right, so we're gonna do this walk again. Yeah, I'm gonna have to heal because if you die here, you're gonna go back to breaking a tentacle castle and that's not fun. Okay, walking all the way back there. All right, that was tough just walking around. Okay, now it's time to heal up. I should put all my money back in the bank. I'll put 2000 gold on the bank. Might as well. I'm gonna deposit and I'm gonna deposit money. So let's deposit 2000 gold. All right, so there's not much else here for us, to be honest. We got all... Why did I even come here? This place is completely optional to come to. I didn't even need to come here, actually, if you think about it. But that guy does tell you where Urtrak's armor is and that sounds important. So we check the map now. And it looks like we're completely closed in. There must be some sort of way. Actually, I'm stronger now. I could probably beat all these guys. Can't die. I'm already level 12 or... Yeah, I'm a little 13 actually. All right, so we go through that mountain range and... Actually, no. There's a better way. Let's see how tough this guy is. Shoot, he's tough. Spells heal. Attack him again. Nice, critical head. Really close call. I'm gonna have to heal again. That was an extremely close call. Now, we can move from here. This guy's easy. I can kill him easy. I'm getting a lot of crits for some reason. Completely restored. All right, now I'm kind of cheating here, but it's the game's own fault. Technically, I shouldn't be here right now. But... Well, I'm just gonna show you what to do. Technically, the princess I should have saved by now, but I'm getting lazy and I don't want to do that. You can speedrun this game really easily by ignoring things that NPCs say. So here's what I'm gonna do. Erdrick's emblem is hidden here. It's gotta be just around here somewhere. Wait a minute, shouldn't it be here? I'm sure it was hidden here. Positive that it was hidden here, actually. Maybe it's not. Maybe I should go save the princess. Basically, you gotta save the princess at this point. I've gotten strong enough to the point where I think I can do it. Let me think. What spells do I have? I think we'll go save for now. All right, 1,476. All right, so I think we'll end today's episode here. Yeah, that was a lot of progress we made. We made it to Kandolin, we got some good information, and it was kind of a worthless trip, but we did make some AXP from killing that golem. So I think we'll go save for now. I think we'll go save for now. All right, 1,476. We did make some AXP from killing that golem. See ya. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you next time when we continue on in our journey in Dragon Quest, one Nintendo Switch. See ya.
