[@zargabaz2198]

stumbled on this video and decided im gonna start running this game!

[@dnalorh.2153]

Thank you so much for helpinping me along my Dragonquest III playthrough! It's a game filled to the brim with mystery, secrets, puzzles, and more! Truly impressive for a game released in 1988!

[@xenxander]

I did an all thieves run, where I only equipped things that dropped, the thieves stole, or what I found on the pachisi boards. Boss Troll proved hard though some cloaks of evasion helped (they drop by a certain mob) Cat suits were a good grind for as well.

[@Alwin2007]

会心の一撃、litterally, "one hit that meets the heart", satisfactory hit.

[@Alwin2007]

"Amazing hit!" is the feel that the word carries for a half-Japanese like me :) "Satisfactory" may be more like, "as wished".

[@Alwin2007]

Or "well-aimed hit"/"hit to the core", but I never was aware what it actually stood for.

[@kenkoopa7903]

Considering the original mechanic of the critical hit came about as a way to simulate hitting a vital organ, that tracks.

[@Alwin2007]

@@kenkoopa7903 Actually though, considereing the 会 part (instead of 合, 意気投合）it meets a core (vital organ, anything that kills), but it ia actually or within that framework a bulls-eye hit, accupuncturisc, precise, hitting a center related to mortal injury. (It hits dead center prior to it being a 'vital organ' or not. (Many are I guess in the realm of decapitaition, although many monsters don't have a neck to go by (hahaha lol thanks :) ) Bye. Love you.

[@TheAsvarduilProject]

Great run! I loved Dragon Quest III when I was growing up, though I only got to play the GBC version. I played the heck out of this game. Glad to see it run finally!

[@ThatGuyE1M1]

You played the best version of Dragon Quest 3 available outside of Japan at the time IMO.

[@TaraRaeDev]

Suuuuch a sick run. Loved it so much!

[@susch7466]

thanks

[@TheRealGuillote]

GBC port for the win!

[@killboi207]

Siiiick! I remember the one on the NES, pretty much the best RPG on the NES imo.

[@mattyg7610]

Awesome!!! Epic ending, great job!

[@skins4thewin]

So just to confirm, Seeds are basically not worth using until the end of the game when you're done leveling correct? Due to levels balancing out so you would be wasting them if you don't use them at the end?

[@maskedgamerjoker6148]

Pretty much yeah

[@xenxander]

The wizard mages in baramos' castle also drop the leaves so you can farm them. I'm fairly sure Orochi is female. I tried very hard to find out what luck did and the best answer I got from data miners was this: It affects your rate of dodging attacks, when you are at critical health. It doesn't affect your crit chance, your evasion chance *when not at critical health*, or your item drop chance ( via drops or thief steals). So it's nearly useless.

[@bachelorsensei9437]

3:33:53 DNGR with that last hit, that guy was born to clutch.

[@jharvey62778]

I never wanted to give up the mod rod for the bone

[@JJ-qo7th]

The content of the run was good. Personal complaint with the audio. I'm no audio genius and this might just be personal preference, but when the microphones are about as loud as the game audio, it all gets really difficult to follow. I think some of this may be a product of the game's soundtrack; it has low-ish baseline volume but likes to go into these loud swells for parts of the music. The daytime town music, for example, is pretty quiet, but then it gets really loud for one of the sections and it overwhelms the microphones. Rabble rabble. Rabble rabble.

[@duncanedgin9433]

So fucking stupid, way to complain about a non-issue. Literally the only guy down here batching about sound? It's actually perfect for once, can hear the game and the commentators crystal clear.

[@skins4thewin]

So in the tower while fighting the Metal Slimes, how was he doing 3 and 4 damage per attack to them? That seems extremely high.

[@JoeyJoeJoeJoeJoe]

Enemy damage calculations work differently to your own, they're using moth powder to make enemies hit the metal slimes to exploit the change in how damage is handled to have them deal 4 damage.

[@DFunct905]

“Completion isn’t guaranteed.” That’s why it’s interesting to watch.

[@ItzKrunchTime]

Love watching these!

[@DangerAaron21]

I get all the specifics for the run, and mad respect on that. But what happened to a team of three jesters to make three sages and thrash the game?! I had absolutely no trouble with any fighting doing that lol still a fantastic run

[@LordNanfoodle]

I would have thought that the optimal strat for making the hero would be going with a female hero with sexy personality, as that personality has over 100% growth on all stats, with 110% on strength, 120% on agility, 105% on stamina, 115% wisdom growth, and 120% luck growth. I mean, sure, the stamina growth is a little lower, but the 115% wisdom I think is good for buffing the Hero otherwise wimpy MP totals to make casting Lightning and Healusall easier in the endgame, plus some of the female-only armors you can acquire are some of the best gear in the game.

[@d_valroth]

I think the point is that they don't have time to collect anything that isn't absolutely critical or already in their path, so while the sexy hero might be better on paper, she's not *faster* in practice.

[@duncanedgin9433]

Yeah it's a speedrun not a playthrough with "optimal" strategy, so idk what you are kn about, clearly you don't know as much about the game.

[@BloderModer]

What system is he playing this on?

[@TheGaara802]

SNES look at the 16 bit graphics, not to be rude

[@SP9_Qc]

This is the fan translation of the Super Famicom version.

[@Vorael]

Huh, could you Stopspell Baramos in the NES version? I remember getting absolutely crushed by Explodet back in the day but Stopspell never even occurred to me; I just kind of assumed he'd be immune to it and never attempted it. That would've helped a lot.

[@tartarus216]

As someone who grew up playing dragon warrior 3 as a child, I found this run amazing. My Nes cartridge reset my save game after finally beating baramos and I never finished the game as a result. Also why no golden claw from the pyramid to speed up the grind?

[@davidmurauski9586]

Puwexil in coach and Bowie reading donation couldn't ask form better run!:)

[@TheRealGuillote]

Great run, great game!

[@JohannesBee]

I just finished playing this on NES and figured I would check out the speedrun. The enemy animations look so good!

[@stephaniegifford5932]

Zoma didn't realize he was entering the.... DNGR zone

[@xenxander]

Honestly the timer must stop when the king shuts up just before that ending fanfare and the ending and credits. There are no more controller inputs after that.

[@WilliamScavengerFish]

I wonder what the record for gambling winnings is? I won over 120k once.

[@NemesisMKIII]

Sorry which version is this?

[@Popebug]

SNES

[@mementomori8930]

Playing this right now and the caves are just downright terrible. Confusing, Too much dead ends with a lot of encounter. I can just waste 1-2 hours getting lost and kept coming back to same location in the cabve

[@lilgohan]

Which version of the game is this? As far as I know Dragon Quest 3 for the super famicom was only released in Japan and I’m not sure what other console version this would be. I’m at the beginning of the run so apologies if they say it soon 7:01

[@lilgohan]

Question answered 15:00

[@WilliamScavengerFish]

As the best armour is for females (magic bikini), having an all female team makes more sense.

[@watercrystals9744]

I mean that's not technically wrong in a casual sitting but dq3 is one of the easiest games in the series and all of the difficult bosses that can actually pose a threat mostly use attacks which ignore character defense anyway, so you'd rather just wear armor that provides % reduction to breath or magic attacks, and you already have the light armor, water robe, and dragon robe as gender neutral options, so you only need one female character to make use of the light dress genders also have different base stats when you create characters and females roll lower strength and vitality than males do, which are the most important stats in dq3 the only real advantage females have is the vamp personality but that is quite overrated because while it has exclusively positive growths, you generally would rather have specialized high growths in the most helpful stats, which paragon and toughness give much higher growths to strength and vitality respectively

[@Mangamaskinen]

Is this on emulator? Or has he updated the Super Famicom cartridge?

[@Qardo]

It is a fan translated version to be played on the SNES of the Super Famicom.

[@Mangamaskinen]

Yeah I know but how is he playing on console?

[@DocShok]

Mangamaskinen I believe they said he's using the English patch version on a repro cart to play on console

[@skins4thewin]

Everdrive dude, Everdrive. How have you not heard of this?

[@skins4thewin]

@Psyche What really? I did not know that. Why would that be? There should be no diffrence in the ROM regardless of if he was using a Repro cart or an Everdrive.

[@WilliamScavengerFish]

High intelligence gains spells faster.

[@hoshinotishoo5925]

god I hate how much faster the movement is in the SNES version than the mobile version which is better in quite literally every way except for that, movement is SLOW

[@i-evi-l]

This version is easier than the original NES version...

[@doslover]

Yep, they mention that a few times in different ways.

[@DFunct905]

Some would say the NES version was unnecessarily difficult.

[@duncanedgin9433]

No shit bro. Fuck the NES versions

[@tombeierle8936]

" there's a point where I have to clear out those sky dragons, I'm gonna try to offset that as much as possible tho" "hahaha..." is that a nerd joke or am I just dumb and not getting it? This is a dope old game I'd still consider playing now that I'm older but I totally don't get the joke

[@Iliek]

Guy constantly smacks his lips before each sentence.

[@randy8324]

Defense glitch? Why not just pop in a game genie while you're at it.

[@SDREHXC]

because the category for the run entails that they work within the parameters programmed into the cartridge there are also glitchless runs if that’s your thing, I prefer them as well by quite a wide margin, but that doesn’t make other categories of speed runs any less interesting to other people. It is by definition a speedrun after all, if a mechanism exists in the games code to allow it to be completed faster that is kind of the entire point of the community as it started.

[@duncanedgin9433]

I can't even comprehend the stupidity of this comment. This is a speedrun, not a lets play?

[@chillnagasden6190]

Hearing the same thing every 7 seconds is - contrary to clueless opinion - *bad*. So is having your one entire identity revolve around memes. Grow.
