This is my favorite game of all time. I've yet to find someone with the same opinion.

@Dave-lg5oz 3 жыл бұрын

Same dragon warrior 1-4 and D&D order of the griffon on turbo graphics 16, are my favourites, great memories

@GTSN38 2 жыл бұрын

I can't say my favorite, but it's definitely the most meaningful. I probably wouldn't like rpgs today if I hadn't played dq1 over 30 years ago

It's one of my favorite play throughs. I made maps on graph paper through all the dark caves and castles so I wouldn't get lost. My first time playing at all and beating it was 2 years.

One secret is that once you get the sleep spell, at level 7, you can fight the axe knight for the armor of Erdrick. It takes a LOT of luck. From testing, the earliest level you can hope to defeat the dragonlord (at least with the "normal" mp )is 19. You have just enough mp to survive the fight

The King will then vanish you from the castle after reprimanding you. So, yeah, as Turn Based Memories said, don't equip the death necklace!

In the remakes, the Dragon's Scale gives +5 to Defense, making it the most cost-effective early-game protective gear. You can completely ignore both cloth and leather armor and just wait to buy chain mail with about 5-10 minutes less gold grinding, and going from "no armor and dragon's scale" to "chain mail and dragon's scale" is a better upgrade than going from "leather armor and no dragon's scale" to "chain mail and no dragon's scale". The remakes also replaced Hurt (a spell which does _less_ damage than your melee strikes will by the time you learn it at a cost of 2 MP) with Firebal (which instantly kills most of the monsters you'll be otherwise struggling with around that level for 4 MP). Makes offensive magic actually serve a purpose even if _overall_ it's the healing, status, and utility spells that are superior regardless.

@otakubullfrog1665 Жыл бұрын

Did they fix the Fighter's Ring so it actually boosts something in the remakes?

@RoninCatholic Жыл бұрын

@@otakubullfrog1665 If it does boost anything, it's something invisible and minor. I've read conflicting things about it on forums and the Prima strategy guide. Claims that it reduces overworld enemy encounters if you're above the monster's level, claims that it doesn't reduce encounter rates but _does_ make monsters more likely to flee from you when fights crop up, claims that it boosts your critical hit rate by an amount so small you still won't notice it over the full course of a playthrough, and so forth.

Not to be THAT GUY, (subscribed to you) but I think you may have missed one tiny detail. The metal slime's run-chance is (I thought) calculated differently from any other enemy's and it is much more frequently running from you than any other enemy. Also I believe but am not sure that the fighter's ring somehow raises your crit rate.
