You have no idea how much I appreciate these little things, very thoughtful and convenient.

[@sarysa]

Saw this on stream, and it's still pretty mind blowing. Never thought I'd ever see this series on GDQ, and now I've seen it twice in a year. Amazing work, Vaxherd.

[@VesperAegis]

44:56 That Metal Babble surprised though.

[@Kazeshini11]

I was not even 10 when this game got out, and couldn't even speak or really understand english well, mostly looked at my mom play this game and i just repeated it. Learned english playing all those games. Fun to see it sped run.

[@BeansEnjoyer911]

I learned a lot of English as a kid from Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest 😂

[@davidkarr3535]

To this day I consider the Cave on the Necrogond to be one of the hardest RPG dungeons ever made. Anyone else been like 2 or 3 steps away from completing it...at full health...and ambush attacked by five Frost Clouds which proceed to cast five blizzard spells and kill your entire party before you even get a turn? Or had 4 Shadows cast 4 defeat spells? Or 3 Skeletons numb your whole party? I have. All of the above. Many, many times.

[@robertmcginty4146]

Ahh, memories.

[@bathtubbarracuda2581]

Now imagine doing that, in a solo playthrough.

[@orenges]

its not hard if you know where to go. Plus it relies on cheap tactics (enemy spamming) to make itself hard. Infact the entire game does

[@logans.7932]

Happened to me recently in DQ4… 6 enemies that are recolors of the Chapter 1 boss “wielded Lightning staffs” at once and instakilled Ragnar, Maya, and Kiryl… while we were OVER-leveled.

[@Ultracity6060]

When there's something strange in your gaming code... who you gonna call? Ghost party.

[@ManaveESulanul]

Wit and Courage have served thee well, Thou hast watched many a level up...

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

This is amazing! Mad props to the runner and the couch for that crazy. This game, no kidding, took me about a week straight to beat about 2 decades ago!

[@brazywest2898]

how the hell do speed runners figure out the RNG??? it blows my lvl 1 mind.

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

Usually it involves looking through code. People who make TAS usually help figure out RNG

[@medleysa]

A combination of trial and error and reverse engineering the game’s code.

[@snapdragon6686]

Please God i am so excited for this gdq. Dragon Quest games? sign me UP!!

[@robertanderson2898]

These videos are like taking an online college course..... can learn so much, i don't quite understand it but it's interesting as hell! Guess you could call it old SCHOOL nintendo :)

[@sebastiendemers975]

Puwexil! Much love to my favorite runner!

[@dand8967]

Everything about this was completely bonkers. I salute you.

[@abbisarchive8199]

This is mind blowing, I’m amazed at your skill in destroying my third favourite dragon quest game, great job!

[@WheelchairMania]

Fantastic run! Very informative and fun to watch, thanks!

[@BalancedSpirit79]

This game is my childhood. Excellent job beating it in such a short time.

[@tazgamerplays]

My ring tone for text messages is the level up music from Dragon Warrior III.

[@betterinsodapop]

My favorite DQ game, my boy NesCard on the couch, and a great run by vaxherd!

[@robertmcginty4146]

That was amazing to watch! Now do it with Goof Offs. This game kept me busy for weeks. It was really satisfying to watch it get a whuppin.

[@argentum1738]

Now I know where Final Fantasy Mystic Quest got the idea of making the final boss weak to heal from...

[@DocShok]

Awesome stuff as always Vaxherd

[@Xhelos]

All star lineup from runner to couch to commentator, damn dude.

[@RobertPendell]

Programming for the impossible is a great thing.

[@CabbageFarmerAi-Chan]

I wanna see a DQ2 speedrun! Maybe i'll be more usefull.

[@fd0894]

Ok So funny story, at one point in the story my prince of Cannock actually did more sword damage than Middenhall lmao

[@ShosuCeladon]

@@fd0894 neat

[@ChharithOeun]

it took me almost a year to beat this game as a kid.

[@KM4OOS]

Ok, I'm impressed. Very interesting.

[@chocolateex1907]

I loved this game

[@elliswrong]

Pixel perfect platforming skill honed to a vorpal edge are cool and all, but this shit is my jam. I love all the esoteric RNG manipulation and save file fuckery that really breaks games.

[@Livingeidolon]

I keep sitting here thinking I'm going to get used to puwexil's speech patterns, but it still sticks out

[@macreuben]

upon command my mind was blown away!

[@tufrabza]

Would this mean one of these four brave slimes goes on to have their own game in Rocket Slime?

[@Rhythmicons]

I saw Ortega win that battle, but it was on an emulator.

[@blarsed]

[@spentipede]

Nerds. Fear them.

[@Schush]

Badass

[@Halcryder]

Holy shit, what a way to destroy this game.

[@implode3]

Was great, minus time spent on that leveling screen ;)

[@SoLinkSmash]

My donation at 1:18:40

[@SnowTheJamMan]

Who gives a shit

[@BigBisbeast]

I think that’s awesome, how did you feel hearing it on stream

[@francoispellerin4268]

I've been wondering what RNG meant. thanks

[@EricSepulveda]

Nice run by Rimaru ;)

[@binaryalgorithm]

Command? Go up to the next level. Repeat.

[@MisterSpeedStacking]

did he ever explain why he set the message speed to slow

[@PakYanaNi]

wait you can speedrun this game?

[@randomtask9643]

medical herb on zoma? lol wtf?

[@cyanhb9689]

I'd rather see a non-glitch speedrun.

[@pearspeedruns]

Then go watch a glitchless speedrun.

[@The24thWight]

Still easier than playing legitimately.

[@SickInTheHeadINC]

What defines legitimate play?

[@The24thWight]

@@SickInTheHeadINC Obviously doing what I did in my playthrough and spawning in 114 int seeds is. Really I should've gone with a word like normally or "In Typical Fashion" But Legitimately was already in the autocomplete bar. Oh well.

[@SickInTheHeadINC]

Fair enough. I had many arguments prepared for other answers. Have an excellent day.

[@The24thWight]

@@SickInTheHeadINC Darn... I usually LIKE being a troll too.

[@joyboy6752]

Hey I’m velociraptor42

[@torormseth]

ShinjiYouFuckker hi velociraptor42 I'm dad Nice commentary

[@RenatoGrigoli]

Eu gosto de herois de RPG porque muitos deles dormem empunhando a espada e escudo xD Talvez devesse fazer isso na vida real. Quem sabe viraria um heroi também? xP

[@BazZx]

Teria que ficar sem banho, também

[@ruggedlemmings9163]

Actually fell asleep during this run despite it being in the middle of the day. Don't get me wrong, having such knowledge of the game is pretty impressive and the execution has to be top-notch to pull off those glitches...but it's a good 45 minutes of cycling through menus and running back and forth. Not exactly high-octane viewing. :^)

[@sarysa]

It's all in the soup: I fell asleep during the second Transformers movie, while watching in the theater. Something about information overload makes the brain go "eeh, let me know when it's over."

[@ThatGuyDowned]

While this is impressive, I completely agree with you.

[@Satiator123]

Why not select a shorter name??
