 Welcome back everyone to another Let's Play series. Today we're playing Dragon Quest 3. We played Dragon Quest 1 and 2. We started the first episode of those. This is the first episode of our Dragon Quest 3 Let's Play. So it's called Dragon Quest 3. The Seeds of Salvation. That's the new title that they're going with. It's, you know, that alliteration they got. They got to get in there. The blank of blank. They always call every Dragon Quest game that if you noticed. So yeah, this game came out in 1988 in Japan. It was one of the biggest games of all time in Japan that pretty much changed the entire way people see gaming. People lined up outside of the stores for like, for days. There was huge lines, huge crowds, tons of people skipping school, tons of muggings for games like kids got their games stolen in the streets for and it was like, they're running out of stock and it was like madness. This was the first time this ever happened in Japan. And like, even Mario wasn't that big. So this is the original game remastered on Switch using SNES assets. So it's very similar to the Super Nintendo or Super Famicom version. So yeah, this game is great. There's not much more that needs to be said. Let's just jump right in. So Dragon Quest 3. Create a new Venture Log. Venture Log on and let me show you something real quick. If you type in Erdrick, it doesn't let you do it. It shouldn't let you do it. I just want to make sure that they included this little detail. See, if you type in Erdrick, it doesn't let you type in the name Erdrick. So that was a present in the original Nintendo NES version. This game came out on the NES in America a long, long time ago. The Dragon Warrior 3. You couldn't type in Erdrick back then and you still can't do it now. So we'll go with my regular name. And in this game, you can actually choose to be either a male or a female, which is cool. This is the first time in the series that you could do this. So obviously a male. Fast message speed and confirm. So this is based on, this is based on the Super Nintendo version. And it looks great, honestly. I think this this version of the game was probably done better than the Dragon Quest 1 and 2. Like it looks very smooth and it originally looked like this on the Super Nintendo. So right now, I guess this is a dream or something, right? What's going on? Where are we? Let's investigate this cliff. Chief, can you hear me, Chief? I'm she who watches over all one day, not long from now you'll appear before me as a true hero. Before your journey can begin, you must teach me something. Teach me what manner of person you are. You must answer my questions as honestly as you're able to. Are you ready to begin? So this is a personality quiz to determine, right? To determine your character's personality, which affects the stats and the way the stats increase. Now, I know how to get the best personality, but we're just going to answer these questions honestly for the purpose of, you know, a more authentic playthrough. So my true name, obviously my true name is my true name. I was born in August 3rd. Yes, I was born then. So the sign in our roles known as Leo, that's why I'm a Leo. All right, now she's going to ask me questions. I'll answer these honestly. Do not dwell upon them too deeply and answer swiftly and from the heart. But this is a personality quiz. When setting off an adventure, is it better to have fine weapons and armor than fine companions? No, companions are better, right? Obviously. You often wonder how magical it might be to soar unaided through the skies. Yeah, I definitely do. Do you envy the freedom of birds? Yep. You could be reborn would be as a prince or princess. Yep. Is failure prey upon your mind? Yeah. Do you find yourself unable to argue with others even though even if you disagree with them strongly? Nope, I argue a lot. Do you enjoy physical pursuits? Yep. Can't even the most minor of matters irritate you? No, I do not get irritated. Do you believe that promise once made can under no circumstances be broken? I'm very old school. I think a promise should never be broken. Do you believe in a power higher than that of man? Yep. Interesting. All right, so this is the end of the quiz. Or not really a quiz, but so let's see. I feel that I know you a little bit better now. Now let's move on to the final test of your character. Oh, no, what's going on here? I was hoping I'd get this one, actually. This is the best one, the best result to get. Okay, so it looks like I'm some sort of monster. What in the world? Cricket monster help. It's like came out of the well. Blue Minora monster. Come on then, you big bully, let's have a chat. You can't get away from him. Do you think you're chicken or something? So basically, you have to kill this guy. Blade neck. Okay, so I killed that guy. That felt bad. Now here's the deal with this with this part. You basically can run around the town killing every single person in town. And that'll affect the outcome of what the result is. But to get the best result, you actually just leave. You leave without killing anybody. Watch. Watch what happens when you do this. I'm sure you watch this overall and I've seen what matter of person you are. This rare indeed for one be so powerful be so kind. A dominant forceful personality. Highly compassionate, putting yourself in almost anybody's shoes. And you always have more importance than the hopes and fear of others in your own. If deeply passionate. Thanks to everyone finds it easy to trust you. Wow. She just buttering me up. I'm an incredible person. Wow. You heard that I'm an incredible person. description is not currently become you that you have faith that assume will let me say again, you are an incredible person. Damn. If you'd not feel like one yet, you must strive to become one. That's some good motivation. I'm sure you watch this overall and look forward to the time when you and I can come face to face at last. I wonder who that is talking to us. It's very mysterious. Our story begins in the morning of she's 16th birthday. Coolie chief wakey wakey. Morning my darlings time to get updates very important. I look at me just sitting in bed with my sword out. Oh the king had to go see the king. Oh wow. So excited for that. Hop out of bed my god damn sword. Oh see to strike nice. We're talking grandpa. Don't slouch or I'll make you hold my hand over to the castle. All right. So heading off with mom. This is the town of Elihan. I think that's how it's pronounced. Okay. Hmm. I don't think I want to go. I think we're just gonna leave. Yeah, I don't really want to go see the king. If you don't want to go see him today, you might never grant you an audience again. Is that what you want? Yeah, I don't want to go see him. Are you sure you don't want to go meet the king? Uh yeah, I'm pretty sure. Don't don't go get in trouble. Now I'll get in trouble whenever I want. Sniff is just crying. Nobody knows about this that you could do that. See, I discovered this a long time ago. You can fist your mom off by saying that you don't want to go see the king. This is choice in an RPG. They don't force you to do anything. I can just leave the town right now. Look at that. See, I don't have to listen to anybody. I can just do whatever you can do whatever the heck you want in this game. Isn't it awesome? So like, like, you know, normally whenever you say no, the character just says ever piece it over and over again to you until you comply. You don't have to listen to anyone in this game. You can say no and walk away. That's isn't that cool. Alright, let's go talk to mom. She's probably upset. Hey listen, I'm sorry for being a jerk. Yeah, I'm still doing it. So the mom let you sleep and talk to her again. Okay, so what if I leave and come back and talk to her? I miss my opportunity to say yes. Okay, so I'll go talk to the king. I'll go talk to the king. You know why you have to talk to the king? Because you can't you can't recruit party members if you don't talk to him. So let's let's set off and see what the deal is because you want us to go meet him. It would be very rude to not to not go answer the king's call call of duty. Welcome to Lyanna Castle. Okay, they're both very stern. Alright, let's go see this king now. Hi. Okay, okay, okay, I don't care. Uh, so you just Oh, see the dialogue is different. He thought that he's like, oh, you're finally here. We thought you weren't going to come. Oh, we met before. The day when we were seeing word as father's passing. He was a true hero. Ortega, the father of the main character. His loss came as a blow to us all. It is what he would have wanted and only the child is such a hero as he could have could hope to save our world. The foe that faces us is a dire one, the Archfiend Baramos. Many of the peoples of this world do not even know his name. And his grip on our realm grows even tighter. He must be stopped no matter the cost. He must free us from from the Archfiend's ever encroaching tyranny. But alone you'll only meet the same fate as your father. Go and consult Mistress Patty. He uses to outfit the companions that she's less selected for you. Patty's pub. Alright, well thank you. Thank you. He gave me money. That's nice of him. It's far too dangerous to go into the world alone. I should go to Patty's pub. Planning place. Oh man, alliterations. They always put these alliterations in Dragon Quest. You notice that? Oh, this guy's a guitar. Oh, head of west from the castle and follows the, okay. Wow, they're already calling me brave hero even though I haven't done anything yet. I'm just a guy who showed up. So I could probably save, in this game you don't actually save at the king. In Dragon Quest 1 and 2 you have to talk to the king to save, right? But in this one it's different. Oh wait, what's going on here? Oh, the princess is missing. Where'd she go? Is that her? Hi. Oh, why is she walking away from me? The stupid girl. Oh, she has a like a speech impediment. I forgot about that. Grown up won't let me go at 5 because I think it's too dangerous. Archfiend Fault. Oh, she hates him. He's more perceptive than he looks. Oh my gosh, that's, that's funny. Oh, what's this soldier doing here? Oh, Ortega inspired him. He believes that Ortega's still alive. Well, so Ortega is the main character's father. He died. And you're supposed to take out a control. Castle Dungeon. Oh, there's an exit out here. Well, I'm really, there's a, okay that door's locked. Maybe we can come back later if we find a key or something. You can see the world is really, really deep and complex in this game. It's, there's a lot to do. This game, right, is the best out of the Ortega trilogy. It's, it's hands down better than Dragon Quest 1, 2. It's way better than them. It's so much more fun. So anyway, a lot of these doors, I can't even open. So I just, I'll talk to that old man down there. I know it's kind of a bummer that I'm talking to everybody, but you've got to talk to people to see what the hell, what the heck's going on. That's how you get the lure. Okay, the, that Wily Thief Kirk Buzzer came up here with a key that can open any normal lock in existence. With one of those in your pocket, you could come through and go the doorways of the world you please. Well, that was useful information. There's a guy with a key, he stole a key that lets you open any door. That's very useful. You could break in anybody's house with that. I'm going to go around here and then we'll leave. Then we'll leave this place. Cave on the promontory leads to the Dreamers Tower. How about that? There's a cave that leads, leads to the Dreamers Tower. All right, so we'll get the heck out of here. I'm freaking out where the exit is. Okay, we'll leave at the front. This game genuinely looks fantastic. I thought the first two didn't look that great on the switch because I'm playing all three of them. This looks really great. This looks awesome. I can't believe this is finally on the switch. This game, hi. If you leave Channel Wand around for long enough, it'll eventually get dark. And when that happens, you have to be careful because there's tougher monsters at night. Okay, so this game has a day night cycle, which is cool. It has a day night cycle. When you come back in its nighttime, everyone will be asleep. The castle will be closed. There's so much attention and detail in this game. But anyway, we should head over to Patty's Pub. Oh, there's a village called Village of Riva to the north. We should keep that in mind for the future. All right, this is Patty's Pub. This must be the bank. I don't have any money. I don't have enough money. Okay. All right, so you got to recruit people first. That nun right there, she's going to save for me. So what we do is we come here. I wonder what this guy has to say. You all you guys, your martial artists are quick, thieves are good for treasure hunting, and then there's merchants. Don't go anywhere near Gadabouts. Useless jokie lot. They are a bunch of clowns. You can just not having one leave until you're strong enough to carry some serious dead weight. A Gadabout. The heroes are chosen by heaven and souls. It's just ages chosen by gods. All right, so this guy, right? He recruits people, pals. So what you do basically is you create a character who will join you. You create your party members. It's not like the princess of Moonbreak or the Prince of Kanak in the second game. You can have up to three characters and they can have any name you want and they can look any way you want. So let's get Erdrick to go with us, right? From the original game. Yeah, I'm just going to show you an Easter egg. Erdrick? Did you did say Erdrick, didn't you? I'm terribly sorry, but Erdrick isn't just a name. It's a title. It actually means dwelling land in the language of the ancients. So when you call someone Erdrick, you're literally acknowledging them as the land's anointed representative as champion. So only the greatest of heroes are permitted to bear the moniker of Erdrick, and I'm forbidden to seek out such anointed souls. It's more than my job's worth. So that's a little Easter egg for you. So let's create, I don't know, let's create a martial artist crap. We're going to create a martial artist girl, okay? And this is a good character. Yeah, she seems pretty good. Oh, it's our lucky day. The special adventure program. So we have supplemental educational enhancement, dispension, seed, I get it. S-E-E-D. So these seeds will give us boosts to any of the attributes. You see how much customization is here? All right, so I'll do it myself. All right, so we have seed of strength, agility, resilience, wisdom, luck. The wisdom luck you don't want. She's a fast character. So you want to give her even more agility and even more strength, but you really want the agility part. You really want to make a fast character who kicks her ass. The lone wolf. Yeah, we'll get another person. Let's see, what should the next character be? I'll name my warrior after Ragnar McGrine from Dragon Quest IV. Ragnar, okay. A male warrior. And I'll do myself. He should be resilient, strong, resilient, strong, strong. Okay, quite the thug. So these are different personalities. She was a lone wolf. He's a thug. And we'll make a healer now. So we're going to name him Dawn. Kind of like that name for a healer. Now we're going to do this ourselves. So what we're going to do is we're going to get a decent amount of strength, actually. Wisdom and luck, right? Wisdom, wisdom, and a little bit of agility, but we mostly wisdom. Flippery devil. All right, so that's a good starting party to go with. Let's recruit them now. So here's Patty, our friend. Let's pick up our friends now. There's other people here too. There's Linus, a warrior, meathead. Is he better than Ragnar, actually? 17 strength, 18 strength. Oh, 11. My guy's resilience is better, though. Margaret, what's she? A priest? An acrobat. Interesting. She better than Dawn, though. Wisdom is 13. Wisdom is 7. It's not enough. She's fast, though. Okay, we'll recruit Terra. We'll recruit Ragnar. We'll recruit Dawn. And there we go. There's our party, our buddies. Yeah, they're going to hang out with me. We're going to kick some ass. All right, so you can save at a lot of places in this game compared to the original. Every town has a save point. So we should get some equipment before we head off into the wilderness. I don't even know where we need to go yet, but I've heard some rumors. Let's talk to some people. Time was a lion rule all over the world, but came to wars, and we lost a lot of young men. So this town used to rule the world. But I thought he said nobody knows about who the Archfiend is. Me and all his little girl knows who he is. He's not a little contradictory. There's a church. Okay, so this is where you... What did she need to say? So we're on an island called a lion. We're not going to leave yet. I know you want to see me leave, but we have to get prepared first. What does he have to say? Okay. Oh, oh, oh, this. Look at this. Oh, wonder what this is. Is this a house down here? Well, that's very suspicious. Let's take a look at this. Oh, there's somebody down here. Many thanks for dropping by. I'm trying to max out my collection of mini metals. If you find any, bring them to me. I'll make it maximally worth your while. So this is the mini metal king. He likes mini metals. He basically... You find these things called mini metals and then he trades them for cool stuff like weapons and stuff. Let's see what this guy has to say. Heaven knows why, but I'm at the boss here. I got a strange feeling. He was a king and I had to protect him. That's why I fell down here. You see? Though he's going to protect the mini metal king. He's not really king, but he is treated like a king. Every game they call him a king. He's an obsessed king who loves mini metals so much. He's in Dragon Quest 11 actually. It's not really a huge spoiler because it's not really part of the story. But yeah, he's in Dragon Quest 11 in some form. He's appeared in every Dragon Quest game since this one. Oh yeah, I was going to buy stuff with the money that I gave me. It's an online Dragon Quest too. You don't start off alone. You start off with a bunch of people. So... Oh, I am or take a sun. Oh, thank you. Thank you. It means a lot to hear that. Okay. So this super stick... Actually, I already have a copper sword. That's actually already really good. I don't have enough money for any of this stuff. I might as well just run off, you know. Yeah, let's just leave. Oh, is that Slime and a Stark Raven? You like the music in this one? That's pretty good, right? Is this Slime attack him? Oh, I don't have everybody set to fall commands. Oh, that wasn't bad. We beat them pretty well. All right. Gaunt should focus on healing. Tarra fight wisely. Radnar fight wisely. Okay, that's good. Now, that must be the Dreamer's Tower the guy was talking about. But how do we get onto that tower? There's got to be a way. Let's... Oh, there's a lot of enemies here. They're tough. And as you can see, by making Don focus on healing, it allows him to have his own AI to focus on you when you get hit. It works really well. All right. We're doing good job, actually. The enemy is defeated. All right, see that cave right there? Maybe there's something in here very suspicious. Who should I attack? These Beanie Corns look very difficult to fight. Thank you, Don. We're actually doing a really good job. I think they tone down the difficulty for this one also. All right, it's nice. Tarra just leveled up. Oh, and so did Radnar. Wow, his HP increased a lot. Where should I go? Up or down? Oh, there's a chest. Cool. medicinal herb. Nice. Ah, ambushed again. Slimes. Oh, we're doing a good job. Well, my team is well selected as you can see. Oh, I don't have a map. There's no map in this game? I thought there would be a map. There's no dungeon map. I know that for a fact. You need to kind of work your way around. Oh, Don's a lot of magic. That's not good. Well, at the very least, we're getting stronger. I just leveled up. Wayfarer's close. Can I wear that? How does Don have a higher defense than him? Okay, let's move on worse. Up here. This must be some sort of tower. Dodie. How much do I have? 116 gold, which means I should probably, I should go back to town and regroup. Oh, I'm on the island. So the way to get to that little island is through like an underground passage. All right, we're going to go back to town because I need to get some medicinal herbs so that we can keep healing ourselves while we move through the tower. Nice, Ragnar's leveled up. Okay, cool. And up through here. A lot of slimes. We're almost out of line then. We can rust up when we get there. You don't need to actually go to the end when you go there. All you need to do is just go home and then your mom will take care of you. Oh, nice. Level three for Don. The MP increased a lot. We learned poof. All right, so we'll head back home. Nice little house in the corner, often. I'll tell you. What's that? Of course your little friends can stay too. The more the merrier. Good night, children. Okay, cool. So she let my friends stay, your little friends. It's like they're having a sleepover and they're always like, they're like these warrior people with swords and armor. That's funny. Okay. Yeah, let's... I could probably... Ragnar could use that. He could use that. He could definitely use that. I'll sell some stuff now. My fair is closed. Oh, Don can wear those, actually. Look in the club. That would be good for Don, actually. Yeah. All right. That would be good for him, also. And we can usually see a strength on one of these guys. I'll use it on myself. All right, actually, let's use it on her. I should be able to transfer this to somebody. That's not good. That's not good. That's not good. All right, I'll sell one of these open clubs to him. Okay, anything else? Is there anything else I can buy from him? I think it's best to buy some medicinal herbs now and just move on. Move back to the cave. All right, medicinal herb. Yeah, I'll put in the bag. All right, that should be good. We should be set to go. Going back down to the cave now. All right, so attack the slimes now. Nice. We all killed one each. They're tough and she's not even holding a weapon and she's just kicking, she's destroying them with her fists. Imagine what will happen when she gets a weapon. All right, back to the cave now. I think I remember how to get through here. You're doing really well. Don has a lot of magic. Now he's 30 MP. Wow. Carrot is leveled up. One of my strongest characters. All right, we agree to go up. I want to check out what's here. Or Stark Ravens. These guys are in Dragon Quest 11. We're doing well. We're doing a good job. We got them tough. All right, moving onwards. Very narrow passageway. Oh, was that just a loop around? It wasn't just a loop around, was it? That would suck if it was. Oh, there's a chest. But it was just a loop around. 56 gold? Not bad. There's a staircase. I wonder what's in the far right. Oh, ant eaters or ant nibblers. All right, in order to increase level. Oh, it's their case. Oh, this is the castle. This is Castle Ion, right? This is their dungeon. That's where it leads. There's a twist and turn so much this game. There's like hidden passageways. I didn't realize that. Except there's shortcuts and things like that. Like a Metroidvania kind of. Oh, I just learned Frizz. So I have a spell now. We can use that on a boss if you ever meet one. I just want to explore. These must be the sewers. Right? 32 gold? Wow, before they even could get a chance to hit us. Very good job team. Down to level four now. This door. It's locked. Maybe up here though. Oh, what is this? That's a locked door too. Where are we? Where is this place? Oh, this must be north. Which means another town. Oh, that kind of sidetracked. There's a lot to do though. Wow. This is Reeves. That villager talking about this must be north of a lion. Oh, we could we could rest up here, couldn't we? The door is locked. Let's go upstairs. There's a kid up here. What's he got to say? Oh, no. They have to promise me to kill lots and lots of monsters. They got his mom and dad. All right, we'll kill lots of monsters for him. Don't worry. Oh, they have good equipment here? Oh, wow. They do have new equipment here. That's actually cool. A chainsinkle. Yeah, I don't know about this one. It'll make Dawn really tough. Oh, that's great for her. A tortoise shell. It's kind of like Dragon Ball, isn't it? All right, training dogs. Horse terror. Oh, there's a horse there. You come looking for a wrecking ball. Oh, no. I heard about the thieves' key though, but I haven't gotten it yet. There's a cave. Wait, does a cave in the wood south of here leads to the dreamers' tower? I am aware of that already. There's an old man at the top of the tower who has exactly what you're looking for. That old man at the top of the tower has the thieves' key. Diary of a hard man. Oh, I got a diary of a hard man, huh? So that's where the thieves' key is. It's at the top of that tower that we're looking at. We should go back there and check it out. Let's go get some items first. Turban. Throw that in the bag. Also, this game has unlimited space in your bag, which is really nice. This game is just so much better than Dragon Quest 2. It's not even funny. It improved everything. This is an example of a game that took all the complaints of the original game and just improved on them drastically. Eight gold. Okay. We'll head back to that tower now. Oh, this is... All right, let's head back down here. See what the fuss is about. That thief's key will allow us to get through that door right there. It will allow us to get through any door we want. That will be huge. Brody. Oh, we're there. Okay, so come head south. There is going up there, but there's a circus going down there. There's chairs there for some reason. The antinibularist attack. Don keeps using his magic way too much. You know, I want to change Don's tactics to fight wisely because he's wasting his magic. Oh, hello. Oh, he's got an inn here. That's convenient. An inn. Why is there an inn in the middle of this weird tower? So suspicious. Okay, we'll head ahead right now. If you fall off the edge, you'll probably fall plummet. Nothing in here. Ambushed. Staircase. Nice. There's another staircase there. I kind of want to explore a little more to find treasure, though. Let's head back out and look around for treasure, because I don't want to miss out on anything. Oh, see, I've got to hug the walls. Oh, they came in with us. Oh, nice. That wing will allow us to go back. Oh, did you stun to move? Well, it sucks for them. And Ragnar, our boy, is level five now. Oh, there's the old man. Oh, he's sleeping. Well, as his chief, he knows my name. He's dreamt so many times he gave me the key. One thief's key. You'll take it, won't you? Yeah, of course, I'll take the thief's key. Wow. He just gave it to me. He just gave me the thief's key. There are books in this world so influential they can change your whole personality. Open them with caution. That's my advice. So he's gone back to sleep. And let me guess, one of these books is here. The girl's own annual. Now here's the thing. If I was a girl, I could use that book to make my personality more powerful with the current personality I have right now. But I'm not because I chose a dude, so oh well. That would have been good to have. I didn't realize the personality system was in this game too. I could just jump off the cliff now. Let's just jump right off. And we can now use this wing to toss us back to Aliyahan. All right, let's have some fun with this key now. Let's find some doors that can be opened that are never meant to be opened. Got to be some good secrets around here. All right, let's open this door. It should work on this door, I think. Oh, look at that. Just open the door. He's been here for 10 years. He failed the exam. So there's a book that makes people extra clever. And he didn't get that one, unfortunately. Can we open this door? Oh, we don't have the jail key for that. We can open this door though. Who's this? Scientist? I recall reading somewhere that the seal placed on a teleportal could be broken by means of a wrecking ball. Someone was researching wrecking balls, weren't they? Oh, someone from Reeve. Oh, mini-metal. I need the mini-metal king will like that. I'm just looking around trying to open those doors now at this point. Is there a door down here I can open? Oh, there is. This is a shortcut. That's cool. Which means I can go to Reeve from here. Good night. All right, batter flies. They're done for. Oh no, they're hallucinating. All right, good work team. Let's keep going. And I leveled up, it looks like. Not bad. There's that door. There's some chests in here. I'll attack those totes. All right, not bad. Not bad team. Don's another level. Seed of agility. Okay, now here's what I think. I need that seed of agility for myself because I'm really slow. Increased by three. Nice. Yeah, these seeds are really important. Right on the staircase. But we're tough. We can take it. And there's another jail. We need the jail key for that though. There we go. We unlocked the door. There's like a pot here and there. Ah, seed of wisdom. Hello there. Yeah, I found a key and I'm trespassing. Get your hands on that, you'd have to be. Oh, so he knows who I am. Now he gave me the wrecking ball. So those are explosives. That was nice of him. No interesting books at all. All the people of the lands on the other side of the ocean have been waiting for the hero of a lion. Wow, the whole world is counting on me. Well, that was nice of him to give me that. Now that's that thing you used to leave, I guess. I'm not carrying a map. Where the heck do I find a map? There's a mountain passage here. I need to somehow escape this island. All right, that's a new enemy. The Waspion. Oh, look at that. That's a new area we've discovered. Hmm. Unlocked his door. Let's just look through his books. A book about boomerangs and whips. Whips and boomerangs allow their wielder to attack multiple enemies simultaneously. Whips can entire groups of blu-ringle damage every enemy. Their attack power might seem somewhat limited, but they offer great advantage. A mini-metal. Dang it, nice. You know how to have a wrecking ball while you're a person, do you? Yeah, I do actually. Get yourself down to the path of promise. It's next to a spring somewhere. Oh, cool. So with the wrecking ball, we can go to this... Maybe that's the spring they're talking about. This is the path of promise. Oh, there's a staircase here. Very suspicious. Oh, there's an old man here too. Welcome to the path of promise, youngster. You won't find too promising right now. The only way to... through is being blocked up. But I was told that the wrecking ball can... can help us. Where's that wrecking ball? Am I holding it? Oh, there we go. Up with the wrecking ball gingerly in place and stands back. That's kind of close. Oh, wow, look at that. The whole wall is coming down. What do you think? And now it's being opened up. It does look rather promising. There's some statues here. A message seems to be carved rather haphazardly on the underside of the lid. Dear traveler from Lyon, please help yourself to this here map. To take a look at it, you need to do no more than press... spelled weird. The X button and another press will give you a closer look. May your journey be blessed with success. The adventurer's map. Now we have a map. Nice. Let's get out of here. Oh, wow. This is the map of the world. That looks familiar, doesn't it? It looks exactly like the real life world, doesn't it? Like, there's North America to the right. There is Asia and Africa and Europe. And right now, I guess we're on Australia. Rachi, the island to the left will be Australia. The island we're on right now doesn't exist. Unless you want to consider Australia, then the main character is Australian. Oh, you can zoom in. Nice. Oh, that's a dead end. And if I go down there, I'll probably fall somewhere I don't want to be. Staircase. Oh, this is the staircase to come back up after you fall. Now there's another staircase. Probably shimmy across here. These guys are tougher. I wonder what's here. Uh, nothing. Wait, actually, there is something down here. There's gotta be tougher enemies, of course. Okay. Oh, this is really maze-like. I don't know where I'm going. This is... Oh, wow. That was bad. Dead end. Oh, nice job, Don. He's doing a good job for a priest. That's where I came from. Oh, are you kidding me? I did go an whole second complete circle. You just need to go up here. I think I need to go north. Don got hit pretty hard. Oh, no. I died. Yeah, but I just got killed. It's causing snooze. No, don't hurt Don. Oh, no. We have to escape. Damn it. Don's dead. Ragnar's dead. Oh, she survived. Holden up the whole team. All right. She can survive. We're just going to give her all of these. Just going to keep transferring these to her. That's enough. Look at her carrying off three coffins. The right or to the left? There not be a dead end. Oh, Mike. It's a dead end. I was okay. She'll destroy them. You can take them on. Oh, you trying to make them snooze? Why aren't you right in the face? Why aren't you right in the face? Oh, she's actually destroying them all on her own now. All right. She can hold her on. Let's go. Hopefully there's a staircase. Come on. This looks promising. She doesn't fall asleep ever. Wow, look at that. She's actually doing really, really well. That's... Wait a minute. I did not just go on a circle today. I don't have a fleet. Damn it. Wait, is she going to die? Oh, I thought I could use my items. What the heck? Oh, I had her set to not falling orders. Damn it. Let's just save. I got really close that time. We're going to keep going. We're not stopping till we leave. But I have a bit of an issue here. Our friends are dead. That's not good. There's a door over there too. Let's check out this door. Oh, there's an old man here. The wrecking ball is basically explosive. I knew that already. That's some attention and detail. He knows that you know. Oh, I did come here to see you. Oh, she's telling me something on her turn. There's a thing called teleportal off to the east side of our little continent. It's all sealed up. A teleportal. That's what was there. Teleportal. Interesting. Okay, so the church is where you go to revive your buddies who die. Ah, of course her. 30. Yeah, go ahead. I was wrecked at somebody else also. Ragnar. 30. Just bring him back. And now Dawn won't bring back. That wasn't too expensive. All right, we should go rest up at the end now and then we can continue onwards. All right, heading out now. Well, actually, and I just used the thing in the basement to travel upwards. Up north. Well, actually, no, I have the map now. Mountain range to the right, which means I should just go. I should go to the castle basement and try to use their shortcut they have there. That'll be a good idea. Or where's the dungeon? It's got to be around here somewhere. All right, here we go. This is the shortcut. All right, let's head onwards north because that's obviously where we need to go. Some monsters. There's no point in running because you're going to lose if you run. Here's the shortcut. Should be right around this corner. I know this is really, really tedious getting through these caves, but there's something you gotta do. All right, not bad. And our boy Ragnar is level six now. We'll just move onwards here. All right, all right, not bad. In the mountain range now through the valley. But I have sciss. Why don't I just use sciss on people? All right, next time there's a bunch of guys, I'll use sciss. I wonder if I just heal all. Hey, there is. We'll leave it for now, though, because I don't want to use up my magic. All right, those enemies are gone. Hopefully we can get to the next area, level five. Yeah, that's good. Level five is good. Oh, I learned heal. I learned heal. You know that means that means now it's time to do handy heal. It was almost nighttime. You saw that? The day and night cycle was about to shift. All right, let's go to this hidden passageway at the promise, as they call it. All right, some prestigious digators. Crap, they're tough. Thank you, Don. Let me heal Ragnar. Don did the final blow and Tara is leveled up. Nice. He's really tough. The female martial arts in this game is really awesome. And we're going to sneak across here now. All right, let's try a spell. That just phrases all I have. That's not good. Tara, of course, punches him around the face. Yeah, the martial arts doesn't even use any weapons. They just kick ass without anything. Oh, not there. This must be the way up. These guys are tough, actually. Maybe careful. I'll heal her. Thank you, Don. See, his AI is smart enough to know that she doesn't need help, so he heals me instead. Okay, holy water. Cool. And here we go. Must be the place. Three different doors, only one way in. Oh, there's the left one. It's a lot of bubble slimes. A lot of bubble slimes. All right, we're going through the left door now. Killer pillar. I love the name of this thing. Killer pillar. It has really high defense. Well, he's dead. He's dead anyway. Ragnar is now seven. All right, that must be the portal. Let's jump in and see what happens. New area. Okay, I have no idea where I am. Some sort of forest. Wow. Whoa, look how far we teleport. We teleport all the way across the whole world. That's probably where Italy is, actually, in real life. I'm going to wait for her to turn night before we go. Oh, wow, these are tough. Vladdy? Oh, you're not casting kebuff. So that's a new area. Ciao and benvenito. Welcome to Romaria, friend. This is Italy. All right, it's pretty quiet. It's quiet right now because it's nighttime. Oh, I wonder what's down here, huh? Oh, would you look at that? It's a secret gambling ring. There's a secret gambling ring hidden in the weapon shop at the bottom. Oh, hello there. What's going on? Hope you have a wonderful time in beautiful city of Romaria. She's pretty nice. I just want to be distracted. You want to place a right wager? You got to go to purchase tokens. That guy's calling me cheap. Okay, this is basically where you do like beddings on monsters fighting each other. It's a secret gambling arena. In the Game Boy version, right, I was using save states to cheat this. So I was making it so that I knew exactly what would happen and I would reset and every time the monster, because the higher, the lower chances the monster has of winning, the higher, the more money you get if they win. And they actually change that in here. So you actually don't get that much. The rewards for this whole thing is not that worth it. We can check it out though. 50 gold. No, I'm not willing to spend 50 freaking gold on this. We'll do it later. We have business to attend to anyway. Why are we here? What's where Maria got for us? Oh, what's going on here? It's going to barge ourselves into this tender family moment. I'm going to wake him up. Oh, and we're both nice. Archfiend. He's no more than a rumor. He doesn't believe in the Archfiend. Archfiend could be real. He's got to be around here somewhere in this world. Hey, what happens if we go behind him? Oh, the door's locked. I'm just going to check out all the stuff he's got here. Our restless heart. The Eureka moment. All right, cool. We'll read these books later. What else is in this town? I mean, this house barged into there. Nothing interesting. Any metal. Nice, nice other hat. People are asleep and we're like rummaging around their house. That's like so creepy. All right, that'll help me. He really needs it. All right, good for him. He has a lot of other hat now. Oh, I can enter the castle at night. Don't usually like to do this at night. Oh, they're waiting for me. They know who I am. Well, let's explore the castle a little bit. I need a jail key to get into there. Just remind me when we get the jail key to go there whenever we find it. Oh, what is this? Very curious. A lot of staircases here. His son, the king, like some McMurray above all else, he prefers to play in the rule. Oh, that's the king's father. What a lie to you. We have a lot of books now. All right, not bad. Let's keep looking around. There's a soldier that's supposed to be a soldier of barracks. To the east are beasts of great violence. They're strong beasts to the east. They travel north and hold their skills there. All right, thanks for the tip. Very tall tower. Oh, jail. Leave it out, will ya? How many times that's a thought? I don't need no robin. I don't know Robin Hood. He's never going to hurt him. Oh, what do I call you? I thought you were an envelope. I want those guards coming to give me a grilling. Robin Hood. So Robin Hood is over at Skyfell Tower and is a gang of horrible, he has a gang of horrible enchantment and will give him an item for me, will ya? They blamed him, I guess. Robin Hood. Skyfell Tower. Okay. It's an interesting hint. Why would you lock a guy at the top of the tower? Why not like in the dungeon? Okay, so the king is sleeping right now, so we gotta leave and come back tomorrow. Oh, nice dog. Okay, um, we're exhausted. Guess sleeping arrangements. That guy's not here anymore. There's the mom. Still talking about the Archfiend. I thought the Archfiend was, uh, not known. People talk about a great hero from a place called Lyon. They say it will save us from the Archfiend. Can it be true? I guess they're talking about me. What does this guy up to? King of our country is a fanciful man. I should be careful as king. Apparently the king is not a very serious dude. He kind of doesn't take his job seriously. The king's quarters. I hear the songs of the wind, friend. Would you hear them too? Okay, you were not that good, okay? Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold up, hold up. He said something interesting. Far to the west of Corvin the North. The Skyfell Tower, which does our carousel doors. Far to the west. It's the northwest. That's where the Skyfell Tower is. What about Sion of Ortega? Your reputation precedes you. Oh, cool. Thanks for saving my game. He's very nice of him. Oh, he has a request. The despicable brigand Robin Hood has stolen from us from a sacred regal crown. Were you able to return to us? You could prove yourself a great hero. Wow. So they have a mission for me. Robin Hood stole the crown. That's why his buddy is at the top of the tower. These are the Italian people. Oh, the king seems pretty serious to me. I don't see what the rumors are all about. Let's head on downwards and go find that crown. So Skyfell Towers, but the prisoner said, and the musician guy said that Skyfell Towers to the northeast. You got to use your clues in this game to figure out where to go next. Oh, let's check out the weapons they got. It'll make Tara weaker unless she uses her fists. Bronze shield. Yeah, I'll carry it. Leather armor. That'll help, I think. Don should wear it and equip it. All right, let's head on over and we'll go find that crown. The northeast, the northwest is what he said. Oh, the entire map isn't all mapped out yet. I got to, close the mountain range up ahead anyway. Can't open that door. No point. Magic key. Yeah, where's the magic key? What? He's not telling me where the magic key is. I have to go find it myself. Stupid. All right, oh wow, Toxic Toads. These guys are tough. Killer pillars, but I'm talking first. All right, good job team. Not bad at all. It's a long journey. Good job. That's really tough. All right, good job team. Putra Fido. Future Fido, that's a funny name. I don't like a zombie dog. I'm on level six. I'm down to level seven now. I learned Dazzle as a town. The west from Village is Tower. Skyfell Tower. Final location. So the west of this village is Skyfell Tower. Okay, this is a new town with new weapons. I could use a lot of this stuff. Oh, he's looking for Robin Hood. So Robin Hood is at the top of the tower. We know that for a fact at this point. Hey, I'm not gonna, I'll get it. I'll get a room curtain tonight. It's expensive. Boxer shorts. Who can wear those? Oh, you can equip them and he can equip them. There's an old man on the little island, I have to say. Here's past Poison Needle's old shopping village. It's a great weapon. Oh, cool. Poison Needle. There's a telephone punching ahead of a bear completely off. Interesting. I wonder what happened at night. I'm here. That would be interesting. Maybe we should do a little bit of grinding. Bushman of Villagers and Angry Fairies. We were going to punch a sleep. Travelers tell a village of perennials sleeping people this is not possible. Sounds like a crazy rumor. Okay. I saw a staircase. I saw a staircase there. Yeah, I saw that staircase. Yeah, you can't fool me. All right, what's going on here? His parents are gone. Back in the evening. You have life. Nice. So I should come back at evening and talk to this guy's parents. She can wear that. That's good. That's some good equipment. Let's come back at the evening and we'll talk to this kid's parents. Maybe that's something important to say. Where if they don't have anything important to say, I'm going to be mad. Let's do a little bit of walking around and talking. I'm trying to increase my agility. They're all hallucinating now. Nice job, Don. Good job to the west is Killer Pillar. I almost almost done with this one. I keep missing that stupid hallucination. Oh, come on. Okay. I'm not. I'm not going to leave. Okay. Jeez. That was the that was the stupidest fight I've ever seen. Oh, nice job. Okay. It's almost it's almost nighttime. Our restless armor. Oh, he's tough. He's really tough. Oh, my. He's really, really tough. Okay. Okay. That wasn't a lot of EXP for such a tough opponent. I kind of just want to leave. Okay. Enemy's blocking the way. Okay. No. Yikes. This is not good. Weakly. All right. So that is actually a really tough place to go to. I didn't realize it was going to be that tough. Here we are. All right. We'll rest up. I need to equip everyone with some good stuff now. All right. That will be really nice to have, but I don't have that kind of cash. Sparring suit. I'm looking. I'm looking. This is really good equipment, but it's not the stuff I can afford right now. It's really out of my price range. A savior. All right. Let's head over to that tower. Okay. Okay. Dazzling them. What's the plan? Oh, a heel slime. We're not messing around with a heel slime. Okay. Okay. Okay. Good job. Yeah. We'll use this on Don. We'll kind of attack that killer pillar. All right. Now we're just finishing up the killer pillars. All right. Good job. This is really tough getting here. Okay. There's that tower. That's got to be Skyfall tower. Okay. That was nice. Critical head. Oh man. This place. I remember this place. It's a really complex dungeon. Acumulamilus. Not bad. Not bad. I got to be careful here. I see. Staircase here. Maybe we can flee. Well, they're just on the movie. Just use leave. All right. So onwards. Let's see. Where the heck. All right. Let's see. All right. Making good progress. Going up the tower. So that Robin Hood fellow should be up here somewhere. And that's our way in. These corners are really tough. There's a lot of tough monsters in this area. All right. Onward now. We're on the third floor. So where exactly is the third floor? Maybe we can go around this corner here. Ailerpillar. This is tough. This is going to be tough. What if I'm flee? They block away. All right. Let's use medicinal herb on myself. Him. Him. There we go. There we go. Treasure Fest. There's something good. Come on. Yes. A bronze shield. Okay. Okay. That shield is amazing. So let's see. I've already got one equipped. But it's like the other is really, really resilient. So who could use it more? I feel like Don needs it more. He's got less equipment and ghouls. All right. Not bad. This one's tough. He's really tough. All right. Let's see. One for me. One for you. And that should be good. We're in there. Okay. Second floor. Second floor. Not bad. Not second floor. It's the fourth floor. All right. Let's move. We should be close. Geez. Okay. Thank you, buddy. Okay. All right. Not bad. Not bad. Oh, I learned zoom. I don't need those wings anymore now. All right. So I think I should be good for now. Oh, look. There's some thugs. Oh, it looks like we got someone who won't have guessed you. Oh, they're going to go out their boss now. That was a waste. Oh, that must be Robin Hood. Fair play to you. You done all right. All right. Making it as far, but if you think you're going to catch me with that easy, you got another free income. See ya. Well, what the heck? Hey, what the heck? Where'd they go? Did they take all the treasure? Where'd they've gone? Wait a minute. Huh. That's where they went with the treasure. Okay. Okay. This is going to be a boss fight. So, yeah. Get ready for this. Yeah, you don't give up, do you? Well, if you've been so bleeding desperate for a piece of Robin Hood, I'll give you one. Come here, you. Oh boy. Robin Hood and his Robin Hood limbs are here. He's tough. Why did he? Oh my God. He's tough. I didn't think he would be this tough. He killed Don, which means I have no one to heal me. Okay, he just killed me. I forgot how tough he was. Coming out, Chief. Deathfeet does not become you. Fortunately, I've been given another chance. Yeah, I guess so. Which adventure to log-shot record? Vermaria, I guess. No, I think we're going to end this episode here. Yeah, that was a long Dragon Quest 3 episode, but you know, you get lost in this game. This game is amazing. This game is so good. You get so trapped in how the progression works and everything. It's just a really addicting game. There's a reason why it's so famous, you know? It's so, it's that good. So, I hope you enjoyed seeing it on the Switch. I really like this version a lot. I like it more than the first few games, especially on the Switch. And I think this might be, this might be one of the best RPGs you can get on the Switch, if you ask me. So, yeah. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you next time when we continue Dragon Quest 3 Episode 2. Bye.
