Quest for Glory Epic Let's Play Parts Forty, Forty-One and Forty-Two: The End, Hero of Two Lands! and Quest for Glory II End Credits

Quest for Glory II End Credits







Back in Raseir we mount a surprise attack on the palace Groo-style: by walking up to the gate and yelling 'SURPRISE!' as we attack. We make short work of the guards, then race through the palace to find Khaveen guarding a ritual chamber. Well it's time for the final boss fight.

Khaveen is one tough motherfucker, but we get a chance to show that we're better than he is - apart from the fact that he ends the fight in a bloody heap on the floor of course. Then we SURPRISE ATTACK the door to the ritual chamber and find Ad Avis inside doing something he shouldn't.

So we run, and we push, and we knock him over the parapet, and that Ladies and Gentlemen is the end of Quest for Glory II!

Almost.

The Sultan - who has been watching us the whole rhyme, err, time, makes us Hero of Shapeir and adopts us as his son. And Rakeesh tells us we've acted with honor and offers us Soulforge, his flaming Paladin sword.

Hells yeah!

We ended the game with 550/500 points and saved Marcus for his trip to Tarna in Quest for Glory III. If you're interested, here's a screenshot for Shadows of Darkness to add to your 'incorrect Quest for Glory end cinematics' screenshots, as SOD wasn't until Quest for Glory IV.

Quest for Glory Epic Let's Play Part Twenty-Five: Shapeir Nightlife and Nightunlife

Video With Subtitles



It's off to the nighttime desert to look for some fights, and boy howdy do we find them! I realize this is largely a 'random encounter' video and I apologize, so I tried to throw as much research/fun facting in there as I could for the bits where he's just wandering through the desert. The monsters in Shapeir are pretty awesome though, and we beat up, in no particular order:

Scorpions. The giant variety, not the German hair band variety.
Ghouls.
Jackalmen
More Ghouls.
More Scorpions.

That actually takes care of our creature allotment for this game save two: the Terrorsaurus (!) and the desert brigand, who we will no doubt see a bit more of after we buff up a tad and get some experience.

Oh yeah, and the other one-off fights... but we'll get to those momentarily.

Now: there's still a couple of days before the next major 'event' so the next video will have some grinding gaps in it, but I'll let you know when and where they happen and the results of me fighting Uhura repeatedly.

We pick up exactly where we left off, in the relaxing and liquid sounds of Aziza's house where she explains just what the hell a Fire Elemental is, what it can do and how we can stop it. There's really no purpose into having Aziza give us those little demonstrations, but they are pretty cool.

Then it's off to Keapon's place where we sell our whirl, across the plaza to pick up some more Vigor pills, and then to Issur's place. That's right you big bald gay stereotype - it's rematch time.

Piece of cake to beat him when our stamina isn't in the single digits. Then we go a few rounds with Uhura before going to the pad for one of the true delights of this game: Shema's dance. Looking back on it, it's actually really sophisticated for 1991 and the art style especially is a harbinger of some of the good things to come from Sierra - note the use of perspective and multiple simultaneously animated elements. This isn't King's Quest 4.

Then it's down for a quick nap before we mount our noble steed and head into the desert at night.

Three movies this time! I realized I had uploaded all three without doing any subtitles for them, so I'll just put 'em all out there at once. I'm going to try to compile some of this stuff into smaller, edited segments because there's a LOT of just wandering aimlessly in the desert in the third video (with hilarious and insightful commentary of course) but that shit's not going to last long with you guys.

Anyway - we get pills. We get a lamp. We go to the magic shop. We meet the astrologer and the Enchantress, and buy a lizard, and meet a griffin, and meet and old man, and meet a tree.

There's a lot of exposition but some really cool stuff as well.

And next time - Shema dances this night!
