Episode 82
Dragon Warrior II (also known as Dragon Quest 2) is notorious for its difficulty and is often regarded as the most challenging game in the series! Despite all of the difficulty, this sequel features a ton of improvements over the original. The world is bigger, the monsters have more variety, and the strategies needed are more interesting. If you're a fan of turn-based RPGs, you shouldn't miss this one!
After the massive success of the original Dragon Quest game, developer Chunsoft certainly wanted to make a sequel. Luckily the lead designer of the first game, Yuji Horii, had a ton of ides for a sequel! Many of the original team members returned to make the new game, and their experience helped make the new game even better.
So how did this game make it to North America, and why wasn't it as popular here as it was in Japan? In today's episode we'll find out, then we'll dive deep into the gameplay where we'll learn:
* SECRET TRICKS to make TON of money! Start the game with the best equipment!
* MAPS for all dungeons and the overworld!
* DETAILED MONSTER DATA! Know your enemy's weakness!
* How to ELIMINATE ALL RANDOM ENCOUNTERS! A secret trick that's better than Game Genie!
* Understand HOW THE GAME WORKS! Damage formulas, success percentages - its all in here!

When I was a kid sometimes I had more fun watching my friends playing games than playing myself. I feel the same here :')

[@davidt3563]

Yup I never played these old RPGs so watching the master play it is the best way!

[@spicytrashpanda]

When I was around 10 my buddy finally beat Aganim in Link to the Past and our enthusiastic high fives resulted in me taking a hard slap that sent me flying. Great moment. An aside, what 4th grader is 6 foot tall? We need to ban high capacity assault children!

[@mikec5400]

Ya I used to watch my bro play FF 7 and 8 on pc for hours

[@docriley79]

Yep I went from arguing with my bros like "it's my turn!" To "aww naw you can go head!"

[@danielwright6897]

Always watching my brother play this

[@tpolutts3309]

I've played this game probably 20 times and now I'm gonna sit and watch an hour long video about it. Dragon quest will always be the series that defined my childhood

[@TheFloodFourm]

Dayum! I want to hear YOUR tips!

[@jedirayden]

The series is the number one reason that RPGs, and especially JRPGs, are the genre of video games I've invested by far the most time into over my 42 years of life. I had all 4 of the "Dragon Warrior" games on the NES as a kid, and although 4 was probably my favorite, I definitely played the second game a lot as a kid. I never imported 5, 6 or 7, but I remember picking up 8 on the PS2 when I was in my 20s and the clear parallels to 4 (Draconian race/gear instead of Zenithian, among other smaller bits) and the gameplay elements lifted from 3 (6 sacred orbs to gather over the first half of the game) reminded me so much of my childhood, it was an excellent dose of nostalgia. In more recent years, I've played XI multiple times since it's basically a love letter to the entire series.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

I wanted this for my birthday when I was a teenager. My mom said to call around and see how much it was. Every place had it for launch price, though Meijer told me they had it for $20. When we got there, the price was $50 or whatever launch was. My mom was furious, got the manager, and told me and my friend to go look at the games while she went full Karen way before that was an overused term. I don't know what she said, but we walked out of their with DWII for $20!

[@Molandria]

When I was a kid playing this. Really hard adventure and all sure, I was super duper into it. Going around on the boat and all that..... eventually I landed on the Original Map and the song started playing. I just stopped, my child eyes open wide. "I, Know this place." and just stood there listening to the old song again, remembering the adventure I had all that time ago in the first game. I started to explore the land, remembered all the 'secrets' of monster spawns etc. not all the same of course... but seeing how much has changed..... villages destroyed and lost.... villages that grew, etc. It was such a heart warming moment in video games for me. If I ever get money to have a game made and stuff, I would make sure to recreate that in a sequel.

[@gamerboy6787]

The pseudo-Shakespearean Middle English used in the Western translations of this series... they actually prepared me for studying Chaucer and Shakespeare in college, years and years later. XD

[@nervaaugustus7089]

THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS! DQ2 often gets overlooked in the series due to its early-installment weirdness and the and allegedly-weak plot, so it's great to see this game getting some love, recognition, and the record being set straight on it.

[@StarkMaximum]

Doesn't help when you're followed up by a life-changing conclusion to the trilogy like Dragon Quest 3 is...

[@Yahtzee_09]

I owned and beat Dragon Warrior 1 &3, definitely don't remember this one. Great video, as always!

[@margaritoamargo6347]

I own this game but the cartridge save feature no longer works. I tried to replace the battery but that didnt fix it.

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

This one gets unfairly overlooked. I remembered it being good from when I was a kid, but in making this video I got an even deeper appreciation for it.

[@deanhanks5097]

I loved the whole Magic Ant part around 1:20:00.

[@Mahaveez]

Your ability to keep this video interesting throughout the entire playthrough is _astounding._ I can hardly comprehend how your scripting works, but it is divine!

[@breandan3280]

First off, the "Magic Ant" advert was hilarious. Second, thanks for doing this game, and double for talking to everyone and playing like it's your first playthrough. I love that. Appreciate the hard work you do and look forward to more!

[@complexhero5064]

We showed up for the walkthrough and deep dive. We stayed for the MagicAnt ad. Link in the description?

[@fehmeh6292]

I never could find the thief key. I searched every step of that area never walking through the wall hundreds of times. I literally grinded gold orcs for maybe a hundred hours until almost max level out of desperate meandering and was astonished to learn the door unlocking spell and being able to progress through the game. My first jaw drop moment in a videogame. I was young enough that the clown in the basement, the game intro demons, the idea of an evil land at the end, and that a bad guy having a castle you could go into were all so spooky. I also had, like, 3-4 magic water flying cloths. Never won the best prize on the lotto. Wasting an ungodly amount of time getting and selling and re-getting magic armor and thinking I was clever. I wanted so bad for the charms of the different pseudo elements to do ANYTHING in the game that I started to hallucinate that maybe they did, and tried to get them and the 2 allies out of different orders for absolutely no solid reasoning. I could get chills watching the game intro with the characters marching. I was amused so much that if I restarted and gave the characters each others names that their names would change when I found them. The last boss being a 2 stage boss blew my mind, and then again when I finally understood the game cover art. The travel doors being in secluded shrines felt legit ominous and mystical to me. You knew you were in some not supposed to have specialness when you found and got through extra damaging damage tiles. I probably played too much dragon warrior 2. Did anyone else try the mirror on the other dog first.... just in case...? I was also convinced that dragon's bane lowered damage of breath attacks.

[@joelmacgregor2615]

Great share. Childhood during the NIntendo years were like nothing else. You really captured those hours and experiences in your story. The days before the internet were like being in the endless ocean, and Dragon Warrior 2 was an rpg where figuring out where to go really needed more clues

[@TheFloodFourm]

You should do a play through and just talk about DQ2 for a good 40 hours

[@pizzaman42]

I first got into this series in middle school by going to my neighbors house and watching his father play this game for hours upon hours, and all I could do was sit there and watch, just being blown away by each and every battle and place you visited. The game seemed pretty fair until you got to the Cave To Rhone, and that's when all hell broke loose, with the Attackbot's and invisible holes which dropped you into the basement, and each step you fought Horks, lol. Thank you for the share and memories ... and I think I'm ready to go and grind through the game after all these years!

[@jps6869]

My children love Dragon Warrior…this guide will really help them out…Happy Father’s Day everyone!

[@johngavalas74]

Happy father's day

[@kevinlopezobrien5366]

Your kids have great taste.

[@mrwednesdaynight]

Happy Father's day 🧔‍♂️

[@alkristopher]

When they play DQ3 and ask "Where do we go", you can smile and say "Wherever you want".

[@ggbetz]

And to you as well!

[@mark6302]

I remember wandering around in this for hours and never getting anywhere

[@big_unclenicky3823]

Hope everything is ok with u and ur family I always look forward to ur videos every week and this week u haven’t uploaded just hope everything is ok with u thanks for the great content.

[@Zeldahol]

In Dragon Quest 11 there was a cool side quest where you had to find The Prince Of Cannock. You travel through time and space. I forget how many locations you have to go. It's more than 3 that's a for sure. This is awesome Dude. See ya.

[@nugboy420]

Dude I love your style. Starting with an in-depth explanation of each games history, then into an in-depth walkthrough with informative and sometimes comical commentary. This took way too long to type lol. Just sharing my appreciation

[@schwaaard]

Great commentary! Particularly appreciate the low-key Monty Python reference/quote. Cheers!

[@XeoMacNasty]

I love this channel ... Most of the time I just leave it on in the background, so it takes me like 5 watches all the way through to see everything that's important. Keep up the good work!

[@Grim-iw6ki]

I was born in 82 My father was an rpg fanatic I couldn't get very far in any of them and so my dad, while I was at school would level my characters in all the DQ games. The final fantasies, bard's tales, wizardries etc, so I could play them and just have fun. I'll never forget it.

[@TerrenceRutledge]

Thank you for doing DragonQuest 1 and 2! Next, please do DragonQuest 3!

[@robart1979]

the soundtrack from this game is indomitable. It definitely set the standard for the rest of the future of the series, IMHO. I especially love the Town theme and the World theme. thanks for covering this game.

[@jasonulloa]

8:30 What people don't know is that Castle Moonbrooke is actually the fourth castle the king had built in that swamp. The first one sank into the swamp, as did the second. The third one burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. The fact that the fourth one stayed up is a testament to the strength of Castle Moonbrooke, in that even after being sacked by monsters, it remains standing. EDIT: 10:17 Looks like you already beat me to the joke. I knew I should've waited to see if you'd referenced it, but I just couldn't resist. Oh, well. I'll leave it here as food for the algorithm.

[@sirrafael1]

Thanks for doing this video! I can't wait until my all time favorite Dragon warrior 4!

[@stormykeep9213]

Loved both the DW/FF series back in the day. Gotta remember too, that most NES players were kids, and the games retailed at $60 (around $130 in today's dollar), and parents weren't opt to buy a new game every few months (for me it was Christmas and birthdays...until I got a paper route and bought my own 😉) so with FF coming out first, DW2 took a backshelf.

[@CeeJayThe13th]

My favorite part of these videos is when I can hear you just barely sigh 😂 I feel that deep down in my soul. Even if you're doing the things you love, there are parts that are still just work.

[@jacethomas5562]

Like reloading to get footage of winning every lottery prize 💀

[@HoganLegDropSoup]

Ok, when does part 2 drop? Been waiting all morning, LOL

[@MysticMike]

Love this series. I got great memories back in 1990 when I was exploring all parts of it's world trying to find any secrets in what I would say was an open world of it's time. The exploring and killing monsters help make it feel less of a grind. So many neat ideas for exploring like the echo flute when trying to get the crests. Great memories!

[@briguy9915]

Yes!! I loved your DQ1 video from last year, I've been looking forward to the next one ever since.

[@mattshuey1]

Been a fan since day 1, the rpg uploads are always the best. No other dog on youtube knows his games better.

[@56Tyskie]

You are amazing dude! I never played this game but I just enjoy hearing your intro and backstory to each game! You have a really chill vibe and your work helps quite a bit beating some of the most difficult challenges in gaming!

[@CorruptionAura]

I love the sass you have put into your videos especially lately. Really adds to flavor and spirit of your gameplay!

[@redspec01]

The soldier that delivers the message at the beginning recently lost his employer’s health coverage, thus why he didn’t seek help at the house of healing.

[@fathergetdown]

You know when UCBVG doesn't post on Saturday, something big's coming...

[@wesleyoldham4222]

1:35:20 It's really cool that the monsters have both spells and skills in this game. It really laid the groundwork for Dragon Warrior monsters, where there are breath attacks, spells, dances, and miscellaneous skills. 1:40:28 That skill became OddDance, and it has an improved version that absorbs the target's MP.

[@SlurpTheFoxHole]

I don't know how you don't have more subscribers because your work is absolutely awesome. Your delivery is spot on!

[@dantepatel7909]

I've noticed that your voice has gotten more enthusiastic and confident over time. It's nice to see that you're doing something you love and are passionate about. I, too, have a strong appreciation for the NES era because I feel it was a time of game design innovators. Truly a time of art progression in the video game world.

[@KarmaJolt]

0:07 I cannot tell you how happy it made me to see you include Swords & Serpents with the rest of these legendary titles.

[@ggbetz]

I love seeing what he places with the "today" title.

[@AnthonyCurley]

KarmaJolt, if you keep watching these videos, maybe you'll also eventually be able to beat a video game.

[@heavyq]

Awww yis!! I was hoping we'd see DW2 soon! My birthday is coming up in a few weeks so thanks for the early birthday present!

[@Black01Dragon]

Thank you for doing this game! Can’t wait for Dragon Warrior 3 and 4

[@cableroyson9992]

This is perfect. I’ve been meaning to play through all of these. I had a lot of fun with the first one.

[@dukeofthedance8062]

The first one is one of my fav games of all time. I went over to a friends house last night after watching this and played some original DQ along with Megaman 1 and 2. Wow I'd forgotten how hard it is for little Megaman to jump, I had major issues with Megaman2 which cracked me up. Boards aren't very long but some are pretty challenging if you haven't played in a long time.

[@Theredbaron8497]

i played all of these as a kid and still go through them at odd interverals dw4 is ground breaking in it has both linear progression and open world functions dw3 has a great character creation bit that keeps the game going something like 9 or so different character types

[@TheFloodFourm]

Second one’s great. imo 1 and 2 are the only ones that nail the perfect balance between Adventure game and RPG battling game.

[@VeridianHerald]

Loves this first half. Hilarious Magic Ant advert. The pupper's name. That's grand. Thank you for these

[@treyseagroves7418]

Come for the doggo... Stay for the video game nostalgia

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

[@ElFino013]

Incredibly great video. Dragon Warrior 2 was always my favorite because I have a lot of memories attached to it. Please don't forget, you can change the Prince and the Princess's names to whatever you want. Highlight your save file, then press left or right and the A button. There are also two extremely rare items in this game- Dragon Potion and Mysterious Hat. The Mysterious Hat actually inspired Satoshi Tajiri to create the Pokemon trading system in the original Pokemon on the GameBoy.

[@MrDwayne79]

Loved this game as a kid . It was the last one on the NES I have never beaten it till about 6 years ago at the young age of 38 lol . I was laid off of my job i had for 10 years. While i was off my first month of 3 total till I found a new job. I sat down for 1 week after the family went to bed and i finally beat it. I always made it to the end but couldn't beat the dragon at the end. I cant remember how times i started over thinking maybe i was missing something but I never found anything else I could have done. I love all of your videos keep it up.

[@demonofelru3214]

Still very difficult and very grindy but I have a soft spot for it and think of this game fondly in my childhood! Watching you play it is like hanging out with my friend watching him play. Thank you!

[@adamhines2185]

Please, please please Please do one of these for DW4!! You do amazing work, and I would truly appreciate watching you play through my favorite DW game 😁.

Omg I love your commentary on this! I also like the info you have on the left side of screen. And I knew I was going to enjoy watching this when I heard a Monty Python quote when Moonbrooke burned down. But obviously the 4th one stayed up as we all know we visit it later in the game. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this videos. I enjoy them very much.

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

glad you enjoyed it!!

[@ChrisGorski]

That TUT trick at the end and then a mini-walkthrough was so good. Great work as always

[@jek__]

I like to think you can find gremlins that saved anywhere in the world really, creatures that have lived in dark areas for long times or been asleep, and a wizard could go around finding or summoning gremlins that happens to save right inside that castle long ago before the castle was even built, and in that way able to essentially teleport in there

[@thecunninlynguist]

How coincidental, I am watching part 1 right now on my FireTV

[@Nevercomestoday]

Amazing upload as always UCBVG! This is easily one of the best retro game channels out there. Your RPG videos are my particular favorites.

[@markp7262]

I absolutely love the Dragon Warrior games, and have since I got my copy of the original Dragon Warrior free with a subscription to Nintendo Power magazine! I always struggled with this one out of the first four (never got to play any of the others until they were ported to Android - didn't own any of the systems except NES and Wii). I used the Game Genie sometimes for my playthroughs, but it's cool to see some of the little tricks that were in the game. Currently, I'm working my way through DQ XI S (slowly, as I don't get to play too often - two kids and two pets), and I'm also trudging through creating a Dragon Warrior RPG based on D&D 5e. Going back through old games can give me some ideas when I get stuck. Excellent guide!

I am happy you are still making these videos. I remember my days grinding for hours on all of these old rpgs.

[@ThroughTheLensOfAutism]

I was so pleased with myself at finishing the first Dragon Warrior game I couldn't wait for the second. I had to admit I was met with some disappointments, such as the main character not using magic, and weapons and armor being in the item inventory which ate up space, but I struggled through this game. Since I did not have a strategy guide like I did with the first there were many things I had to figure out on my own, and just wandering around try find what to go next accomplished some level grinding. I still have my copy with the first quest still saved on it from the very first time I brought it home and turned it on.

[@Sauvenil]

Eventually you get to some enemies that randomly kill half of your party in a turn. That's where I stopped. Maybe I'll go back again, but ugh.

[@GTSN38]

I had almost the same experience. Dragon warrior 1 was the first game I ever finished and I felt like a true badass. I had to have part 2 and then 3 and then 4 ! I still remember the excitement of getting part 7. Dq is a big part of my life

[@TheFloodFourm]

The wandering is key. The more you wander the more you grind.

[@maysintv9168]

Man, I really missed out with these games as a kid. I would see them in store and yet still go for more "mainstream" games. Games played by my mates, KNOWING the quality of the game. Or even trying it myself in-store at the testing units. But I'd never see any of the DQ series anywhere other than the shelf for sale at the same price as games like Zelda or MegaMan and Mario (That's AU$70 to AU$80 just for referance). Heh, well, at least now I can enjoy watching these playthrus and know that there's nothing skipped/missed. Cheers for bringing these classics to us like this, as usual my man.

[@The16bithero]

Man, I hope one day I'll finally get to play all the Dragon Quest games, I've only beaten 11, but I know that these games are all amazing Thanks for always making our weekends incredible, my man! 🐕 I love how the games must be released on weekends, because when they were released on Tuesdays, nobody went to school or work, so they demanded the games be released on Saturdays

@@The16bithero I remember recruiting my 8yr old brother (he's a lot younger than me) for GTA5 after showing parents what we were doing. All we did was take trucks offroading to impossible places (or try to), fly the air vehicles, and of course jump out of heli's with no parachute. That was his favorite and we'd both laugh till crying. On other hand, he introduced me to Minecraft which I never would have picked up without him. That's a good game too.

I grew up playing Dragon Warrior 1, and dreaming of 2, but I never had the money to buy it. I thought I was missing the most advanced game ever.

I played it on the nes and I loved it. Never got around to beating it though since I had to return the game to a friend. I tried playing it again a few times but never got very far. Living vicariously though you playing this.

Magicant was the name of Ness' dream world in Earthbound, btw

I like DQ 2 a lot -- I'm actually playing the mobile version right now. And I personally think DQ 3 is harder, but thank you again for the great coverage.

I love this one. I had to watch HC Bailey's lets play to beat it though. Hopefully you do 3 and 4 also. I love your content.

I love game reviewers like U Can Beat Video Games and HCBailly. I love their "dry humor" (not that I'm trying to be offensive calling it that).

@@Dustin_Bins I know exactly what you mean.
