[@medleysa]

Dang. What a conclusion and what a trilogy. I can’t imagine the work that went into this. This has been really fun to watch and follow along with!

[@robertanderson2898]

There's a part 4 on the NES too, still might be a while before we see it.

[@jakewhit9000]

Bro...I'm so SOOO happy I took the day off today. You literally made this the best day off ever. Thank you for EVERYTHING you do...the time and effort is insane, and if you didn't love doing this, you wouldn't be doing this. I hope you level up to over 1 million subscribers soon, and can make enough to do this full time to sustain your family and yourself comfortably. Thank you for sharing your passion and dreams with us.

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

Thanks, Jacob! Enjoy the day off!!

[@jakewhit9000]

Just finished the video finally, when I wrote my comment, that was at the beginning of it, knowing what you must have went through...did you throw a controller at the wall trying to get thr staff of reflection hahahaha, thank you to your wife and puppers. I watched this simultaneously as I played the moble version which is the snes updated one with the personality options too, which adds to the depth, but there is just something about the original witch is soooo much better and more charming. You have a life long subscriber here..I'll help you to add views and subscribers whenever I can I recommend you. No 90s kid or modern rpg player will be complete without you sir! Never change and when you feel your most frustration..please always remember the joy you are bringing into the world with all you do!

[@MANTARD]

I can't believe this channel won't get to 1 million subscribers soon. It's just too good.

[@AquamentusLives]

I can only imagine how epic your Dragon Warrior 4 guide is going to be!

[@robertanderson2898]

[@miroslavzima8856]

If someone is able to pull off such MASSIVE guides - it´s you. I really enjoy your guides, which are more like movie evening with mix of documentary!

[@EsperHubb]

Congratulations on clearing the 100th game for the channel! The breakdown of you give for everything the first time is god-tier work! I hope success continue to head your way!

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

Thank you- I really appreciate hearing that! I wanted to go big for the 100th game, and this was one of the biggest on my list!

[@Martinsspiegel]

Never could have navigated this game without your help. I didn't even know NES games could be this big. Thanks so much!

[@americanmeowth3336]

Congratulations on 100 completed games! Finally finished watching this; wanted to save it for a lazy Sunday. As always, you give enough running jokes and technical insight to make something potentially boring (like grinding) into pure entertainment. Long games, short games, whichever you can put out, we'll be here! Also, special thanks to all of your assistants for making this possible.

[@juliocastaneda5940]

This by far was a big undertaking considering I didn't even realize this was the 100th game to tackle, so I can see why this was the game to make the 100th completed game. The amount of detail that you put over the near 12 hours and 3 part guide is by far the best video or online guide that I have ever seen, which is understandable why this took nearly a month of work to undertake. All this to say, I have followed this channel since pretty early on your existence thanks largely to karmajolt more than a year and a half ago from Castlevainia, and to see the evolution of this channel from there to now is something to behold because early on, it was simple yet easy games to cover, but to what has now evolved into much more today. Honestly can't wait when Dragon Warrior/Quest 4 is covered in the future to see how much more evolved this channel becomes. Anyhow congratulations on completing your 100th game with this mammoth undertaking, and continued success to your next 100, because I'll be here for that undertaking when you get there in a year or so 😉💖👍

[@DragunBreath]

Absolutely fantastic series. Your vids on these old 8 bit RPGs are y far my favorites

[@justinkroboth360]

I've only been following for a couple months, but I've watched so many of your videos, UCBVG. Most of the games are ones I've already played/beaten back when, but your content is just so good that I can't but be compelled to watch. I don't know how many times I've watched your Shadowgate/Macventure videos because I'm such a fan of those games in particular. Anyway, I know we're a month into 2024, but I just wanted to wish you continued success! This series on DQIII is MASSIVE! I hope you're proud of the work you've put in, friend.

[@crissb8913]

Dude. I still can't believe you took on this game. This was absolutely incredible. DQ3 was easily my favorite of the OG DQ games. Still have my copy. Thank you for all of the effort you (and your wife) put into this!!

[@stopmikeandjim3196]

Yours is the only channel where I don't skip the ads. Thanks for all the work you've done with these videos!

[@ken71671]

I found that putting the hero in the last spot in the formation helps alot. His higher DEF and HPs helps overcome the inability to use the parry/attack.

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

I agree, especially towards the end of the game when so many enemies use Magic or Breath attacks, having high HP and some armor pieces that reduce magic damage make the Hero especially good in the last slot. The only one better is a high level Soldier that was converted from a spell casting class and is wearing the Hades Armor which reduces magic damage by 75%.

[@ShneekeyTheLost]

@@UCanBeatVideoGames I always started with a Wizard and converted to a Soldier so he can Bikill himself. Early game, leaned on the poison needle for physical attacks and especially hunting metal slimes to get enough levels to cast Bikill, then swap out for Soldier to equip the big equipment. Since Fighter falls off, she gets turned into the Sage so the phenomenal AGI score means my healer always goes first for panic-healing.

[@medleysa]

Wild that you did this project. I am consistently impressed at how fresh your commentary stays despite having to almost constantly speak over hours of gameplay. I know you just finished a long RPG, but I’d like to make a suggestion - Shining Force and Shining Force 2 for the Genesis. There are tons of secret items and characters in those games and a lot to dissect, which seems right up your alley.

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

Shining in the Darkness is fine too

[@Other_Kev]

I bet the Langrisser games would make for good episodes too :)

[@DeanOMiite]

I would absolutely love to watch UCBVG do both of those two games. Those are some of my favorite games ever, especially SF2, which I go back and play through every couple years.

[@RoninCatholic]

Baramos Bomus and Baramos Gonus are actually the dead remains of Baramos separated into a pile of meat and a pile of bones, then raised as undead by Zoma. That's pretty wicked and a little rad, actually!

[@Ratralsis]

I always interpreted it as his "ghost" and his "body," both having been forced by Zoma into one last-ditch effort to stop the hero. Your way is certainly more evil, and fitting for the archfiend, haha. Either way, it's a great piece of dialogue-free storytelling.

[@SECONDQUEST]

Super neat! Thanks for the info I did not know that!

[@billmartovich9009]

Zoma and the Dragonlord are still my favorite, sentient BBEGs from video games. The Dragonlord is said to be cunning and all that, sure, fine, whatever. But when you meet him, he actually tries to get you to submit to him! That's wild! And ot enforces all the stuff everyone in the game said about him: amazing little detail they threw in, even if it is so simple as a yes/no instant death. Zoma is powerful and alien, and he controls all the baddies in 2 different dimensions with the power of his will! That's insane to try and think about, but more than that, is how he actually feeds off the pain and despair he inflicts on those dimensions. Not some Ancient Magic, or Evil Artifact or anything, that's just how he works! He understands what can hurt him, and he eliminates it from being able to be used against him (breaking the original Sword of Kings) and sure, the Orb of Light is debilitating to him as well, but that's not a thing that he can interact with, or even really know because it is from a different plane of existence. They did so much storytelling without actually just smacking the players with a text wall like more modern games do.

[@JohnCharb87]

The Epic journey continues. Been enjoying the playthrough. Hard to believe in first game you had to walk everywhere. When they introduced the ship you realize how massive these world's were in the 1980's.

[@HealingSwordsman]

Woo it's out!!! I bet as for the twist in 1988 most players probably thought the hole lead to the final dungeon not an entirely different world!!

[@universalperson]

Not just a different world, the original world.

[@Berzerkules]

I just want to express my gratitude for the incredible content that you put out. Your dedication and hard work are truly remarkable, and it shows in the quality of your content. Your videos are not only informative, but they are also engaging and entertaining. I appreciate the time and effort that you put into each video, as well as your friendly and approachable demeanor. It is clear that you are passionate about what you do, and it really shines through in your work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us. Your channel has undoubtedly helped many people (like me) improve their skills and knowledge about old school games, and I am grateful for the impact that you have made. Please keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to watching more of your content in the future.

Over the past 25 years, I have always enjoyed talking with other people about this game - especially hearing how everyone pronounces the names of the towns differently! XD

[@ericheckman3888]

Thank you so much for recognizing all of us that look up from our projects to see a game that looks really cool AND HAVING IDEA WHAT GAME IS so we have to rewind the video! Make this a regular feature fellas, or at least leave the game name on the screen while you talk about it. You guys are awesome

[@KrimzonDante]

That ending hits me in the gut everytime. I absolutely love this game! I've been a fan of Dragon Quest since the first and your guide didn't disappoint. Very well done. Thank you for the adventure!

[@SkullKnightmare775]

Congratulations! I have been watching this channel since the beginning and I can't thank you and your wife (in this instance) for all of the incredible content you have produced. I have shared your content not only with my wife, but friends and family as well. I look forward to watching you for years to come.

[@RedAvery1]

Found my next KZbin to watch while I chill. You never stumble in your commentary

[@noahhobson4521]

This was for many years my favorite game in the series. It's been overtaken by Dragon Quest XI, but I do still love it. Thank you for this incredibly comprehensive guide to a great game.

[@zachw2538]

Happy 100th game!!! Send Mrs. UCBVG our love and thanks for helping out! You may have noticed, we were all very much looking forward to this.

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

I will! She saved me a couple days worth of work for sure

[@Ofecks]

The spell that goes off when using the Sword of Kings as an item in battle is Infermost, not Firevolt. Thor's Sword (a rare drop from certain monsters) is the one that casts Firevolt.

[@Fauntleroy.]

Ahhh, this was so fun to alternately watch and listen to as I went about my day. Just want to say, I never knew about the Silver Harp trick or the little easter egg if you show that old man the Magic Key. So neat! And you really went above and beyond with all of that endgame content, wow! Thank you for continuing to be one of the best channels out there!

[@zshimada]

Interesting note, if you confuse an enemy and it strikes a metal babble, at least on the switch version, it isn't reduced to 1 damage, so the bears can actually one-shot the metal babbles. Can be done on first turn if you're fast and lucky enough.

[@dominickk5293]

These videos fill the void that my Nintendo Power and EGM subscriptions left me.

It’s astounding how much detail you go into, really appreciate it. I actually enjoy how you repeat crucial info multiple times, it can seem redundant but it’s important.

[@nervaaugustus7089]

Whaaaaaaat a mid-week upload? UCBVG, you *spoil* us! All jokes aside, thank you for doing this. This is the game that got me into the Dragon Quest series, and so I enormously appreciate seeing it explored, explained, and done justice.

[@psychodeviant8903]

So I've been picking away at this video (and the last 2) a little at a time, an hour here, a half hour there, and so am just now seeing this final video through to conclusion, six days after it was uploaded. This was a fantastic walkthrough and, as I commented on the first video of yours I ever watched on this channel, this is probably the most thorough, comprehensive video of this nature I've ever seen on this game. Dragon Warrior 3 is my favorite of the DW games and one of my favorite rpgs of all time. This channel is fantastic and you should have a million subscribers for the quality of content you put out and how well researched this walkthrough was.

[@ZaerdinGaming]

I played this game so much as a kid, too. I didn't know about Final Fantasy; I knew about Dragon Warrior. One of my family friends played a lot of video games and he'd let me borrow them after he beat them. He had the Dragon Warrior games and I really enjoyed Dragon Warrior 2 and 3. I was very happy to find a game where even if I got stuck, I could still level and both games had a lot of help so you didn't get stuck that often. I definitely followed the guides strictly, though. The first party I beat the game with was the recommended party of Hero/Soldier/Pilgrim/Wizard with the Wizard converted into a sage. On my subsequent playthrough, I did Hero/Soldier/Pilgrim->Sage/Wizard->Pilgrim. I did try converting the casters to soldiers later so I'd have Hero/Soldier/Pilgrim->Sage->Soldier/Wizard->Pilgrim->Soldier, but I generally preferred not converting them to Soldiers. Once I was pretty experienced with the game, I'd do a bit more varied parties like Hero/Fighter/Fighter/Pilgrim->Sage or Hero/Fighter/Pilgrim->Sage/Wizard->Pilgrim and sometimes I'd convert the Fighter to a Soldier so I'd have a Soldier with agility. If I knew how the drop tables worked, I probably would've farmed strength, agility, and luck to 255 via seeds for the whole party, too.

[@bakuiel1901]

Excited to see you finish this one, got me motivated to finish my playthrough, love your hard work and all your vids.

[@OzymandiasWasRight]

Oh man im SO happy this is out!! Ive been craving the rest of this walkthrough, it reminds me of the days spent watching an older sibling/cousin play through classic rpgs. Thank you SO much for continuing this until the end, its a LONG game so I cant even begin to imagine the time it takes to put this together. Your are a youtube hero. This channel means a lot to me.

A staggering undertaking of over ten hours of viewing time, and untold dozens or hundreds of hours of development. UCBVG, I cannot begin to thank you for the amount of entertainment you have provided, and I have watched diligently from the very beginning. Here's to a continued future, and more amazing, cheesy, and great games.

[@caseysmith7283]

I’m supposed to use words here to express how wonderful and fun this series has been, but I really don’t have them. Instead I’ll talk about what DQ means to me. DQ has always been my go to for RPGs. From the moment I laid eyes on Dragon Warrior as my friend John played it at his house, I knew this was the game series I wanted to play. I’ve played them all and never feel anything but wonder and joy at experiencing everything this series has to offer. I can’t adequately express what UCBVG does for me, but it fills my heart with happiness and excitement whenever I see it pop up in my feed. I always look forward to the next Archfiend who needs a beating and all the video games I can beat. Thank you for all 100 games and everything that will follow.

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

Thanks for the kind words, Casey! The first time I played Dragon Warrior, it also was at a friend's house. It was technically his dad's game, and when I jumped in, the hero was named "Dad". I hope his dad wasn't too mad that I totally hijacked his game and finished it.

[@shughan666]

Best guide for the best NES RPG, period. Give the doggos extra treats tonight; they earned their keep with this series! Love your work, man. Enjoy a fun, easy game next like Darkwing Duck or Snow Bros. And if you tackle DW4 later on, at least consider using the Game Genie code that disables the AI control in Ch 5. It makes the game a LOT more fun and allows you to reasonably use characters that under AI control become near worthless (glares in Nara and Cristo's direction).

[@heavyq]

This has been my favorite guide do far. I am a huge Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest fan. Dragon Warrior 4 is my favorite game of all time. I know it might be a while, but I can't wait for it!!

Touring through your catalogue has been a wonderful blast of nostalgia and has me itching to replay - and introduce to my kids - some of these classics again today.

Just a little jest of gratitude for this work. I have been listening to these a number of time, just to study and learn from it even as I do my job during the week. It has turned into a story that I enjoy listening to. This is a far better subject then the vain easy tropes of games that are normally on this channel. This is quality content that is worth the wait for. Ghost Lion, Ultima, Dragon Quest (series), Wizardary, Breath of Fire, all are good replayable content that has staying power from my pov.

[@markp7262]

Congrats on 100 games! I love that a Dragon Quest/Warrior game made it as the milestone; this was always one of my favorite series. I was first introduced to it when I received a copy of Dragon Warrior free with my subscription to Nintendo Power magazine. Having received the D&D red box set a few years previously, I was already hooked on the sci-fi and fantasy genres. This just broke it open completely. My next door neighbor and I would spend hours and hours either playing a Dragon Warrior game or D&D. We even jotted down ideas for a future DQ installment (sadly never completed). Though my NES is long gone, I now have the mobile versions on my tablet, as well as a copy of XI S on my computer. The newer versions of Dragon Warrior III bring in the personality system, which added so much new content to an already beloved game. Over the last few years I had even been working on a 5e conversion for the Dragon Quest universe. It has been back-burnered as life has picked up steam, but every once in a while I pull it up and think on it for a bit.

Hopefully I'll like to see you tackling these shorter games: Super Mario Land - Game Boy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan - Game Boy Streets of Rage - Genesis

"They have a cave troll" - Fellowship of the Ring. The cover picture for the video reminded me of that one. Thanks again for your content!

Thank you so much for this UCBVG! Your Dragon Warrior videos encouraged me to check out the Dragon Quest series and I've become a HUGE fan now! I've been rewatching your whole DW series about 15 minutes at a time over the past few months when I do my stretches every morning, and I was really hoping you might get to DW4 before I reached the end, but I just finished this one this morning, so I might just go back and rewatch from the beginning haha Reminds me of when I was a kid watching Dragon Ball on Toonami, hoping they'd release new episodes after Goku arrived on Namek, only for them to start over from Raditz. Still loved it then and still love it now! Thank you again for these videos!

Great series. There is another quick level up in the underworld. With Goopies, let them live and cast a few increases and bikills on everyone. Then let the Goopies continue to summon Granite Titans. I've had 60,000+exp in one fight, very satisfying.

Correction: The Sword of Kings does not cast Firevolt when used, it casts Infermost. Thor's Sword is the one that casts Firevolt. Also, when fighting Metal Babbles with other enemies, you can Confuse the other enemies with either the Sword of Illusion/Seduce Sword, Bug Powder or the Chaos spell. In the GBC version, Wyverns can breathe fire. Confuse a Wyvern to get them to breathe fire on the Metal Babbles. This can be done way before learning BeDragon. Also, Swordedge Armor can reflect physical damage back to Metal Babbles as well.

What an incredible video series. I was so stoked to play this as a kid, but I wasn't patient enough then and never beat it. It is an incredibly long game. As an adult, I've revisited it 5-6 times and just love it each time. Hero, Fighter, Sage, Pilgrim (I'm boring...lol). This is my favorite DQ game because in the first two DQ games, all you hear about is Erdrick this, Erdrick that, Erdrick is so great, find Erdrick's stuff, etc...To actually learn where Erdrick came from and how he earned the name blew my mind in 91.

*hugs* Thank you and to your wife so much for covering this game. It took me a while to finish this one since I needed a break from RPGS. I love the long adventures with rpgs but at times I must take a break from these games even from many longplays or streams i watch. Can't wait to see you and your wife cover the 4th game. I've only beaten these games many many years ago via the remakes, only did the nes version of DQ1.

Best rpg of almost any generation. I'd love to see a full remaster like the new DQ games not just updated 2d.

Very much enjoyed all the videos on this game. Very great work. 10+ hours shows real dedication. Looking forward to your next videos and waiting to see destiny of an emperor conquered by you
