Let's Play Dragon Warrior I: Shorter Update is Short and Grindy
« on: December 26, 2014, 11:17:04 pm »


I've decided to play through Dragon Warrior I, because I never really got around to it. I decided to LP it because I want to finish one of these things for once. So here goes nothing.

Warning: These images are huge.

It lives!

This update is short, but it exists, which is better than it's been lately.


HELL YES

YES... YES... YES...

THE SPELL!

Finally. I can avoid that extortionist innkeeper now.

I have a whopping 5 MP.

These Ghosts are even stronger than the Drakees. They are painful to meet, but have a higher XP payout.

They're also apparently the sole inhabitants of the area north of Erdrick's grave, which I dub the Haunted Woods.

There is a town. With an old man. Judging by his headwear, he's in league with the Ghosts.

Garin's town has three or so houses and a huge stone box that takes up most of the space in town.

It's locked.

I forget why I took this picture. I'm going to leave it in so I don't hurt its feelings.

That bridge has some nasty stuff on the other side. More grinding, ho!

PTW

You will probably have to grind at some point.

That's weird. Try a different browser, maybe?

IT RISES

Doesn't do a great deal immediately after doing so, but give it a break! Like you're all active and chipper when you first wake up.

Jee wilikers, I think Highmax is near invulnerable, must have been dunked in the river styx like achilles was.
Just make sure he wears a boot.

Yon next level! Huzzah.

A SPELL?!?!?

This game has a more innovative naming system than Wizardry.

The name "HURT" sounds like a bop on the arm or a prick from a hypodermic needle, but it one-shots Ghosts. It's also much cheaper to cast than HEAL. Quite handy.



Darest Batman cross-eth yon Brooklyn Bridge?

Batman quickly discovers demon gangsta' wizzles across the river.

These guys sodding hurt. Their regular attack is maybe a little less painful than the Slime.

But they also know HURT, which can take a third of my HP in one shot. Batman quickly abandons the other side of the river.

There was then a training montage. Batman became level 5 and traveled to Garinham, where he beat up loads and loads and loads of Ghosts, Drakees, Red Slimes, and Magicians.

This was all for one thing.

The ☼copper short sword☼.

The ☼copper short sword☼ costs 180 gold coins.

It cuts through Magicians like butter, as illustrated in the following diagram.


This will greatly increase the productivity of my capitalist enterprises and shorten the time between now and the death of the Dragonlord.

Because of watching you do this, I'm now playing and seeing if I can get to the end faster then you.

With you being level 6 and not dying, thats already a big leap ahead of me

The old man in town was obviously a retired magician. Glad I'm not going in there. I'd try some stupid stunt and wind up dead really quickly.

Funny thing about magic, it doesn't consistently go either way.
