1. Go get the princess on the way to the Dragonlord beat him then take the princess to the king (you get both achievements in one run)
2. Go beat the Dragonlord and leave the princess in the cave
3. Go save the princess bring her to the king then go accept the Dragonlord's offer
So nice to play this little part of history in videogames and how it shaped one of my favorite genres
The necklace achievement is a bit too rng but at least you get a lot of gold and good exp along the way so is fine by me in terms of mastery since the rest of the set is simple
I'm exited to explore more Dragon Quest as a newcomer of this franchise!
The set itself was mostly fine, aside from the RNG-heavy Death Necklace cheevo & seemingly random Wyvern cheevo. Glad I got this off my bucket list.
Something about the simple progression of the journey, building yourself up in both level and wealth to get a foothold into each new zone and town I find really rewarding. I also love the classic fantasy of it all, the Dragonlord is evil and locked the princess up with a dragon, why? Because heโs bad and youโre good! Go save the day, itโs the heroes responsibility.
That being said, I can see the reasons why the game can turn others off, it doesnโt have to be everyoneโs cup of tea either.
The original Dragon Quest. While quite simple I can't help to come back to this game. This is my 5th time now beating the game, but this was my first time going through the set. Other then obviously having to grind levels, the death necklace achievement probably was the biggest struggle. Took me only 20 attempts which from what I seen from others, could have been worse. Overall pretty alright set, will be going through the rest of the games down the line.
RetroSmoothy11 Jan 2025 15:56A true classic. And quite frankly, having beaten the game legitimately 3 times prior, it was a godsend being able to fast forward even with Hardcore mode on haha.
Pretty standard set of achievements aside from two areas...
1) The Death Necklace RNG Grind - Best place to do it IMO is the Mountain/Fighters cave. Pretty quick route back to the chest. Plus, at that general area/point of the game, decent to organically grind while doing so. It took me roughly 40 attempts. So close to the 1/32 chance.
2) All the various end game achievements with the princess, dragonlord, etc. - Check the comment above from @buvy, great advice. Only 3 trips to the Dragonlord needed, 2 successful kills.
Random Thought: The Wyvern achievement is strange. At that point would have preferred a fleshed out bestiary clear achievement TBH.
(every time i run the wanted to fight whith made me lost more mp for the boss).
