A fun game and a simple, straightforward set, but I can't recommend anyone play this version. PCSX2 just cant emulate this game well at all, it seemingly starts out okay, but gets significantly worse from the end of chapter 2 onwards. I experienced many heavy framerate drops even on my high end PC. Running in software mode helps some, but the framerates are still bad. It might be best to wait for the GC set of this game instead.
carville 7 May 2024 22:14
Thank you for the set, I enjoyed it.

About the slowdowns: on my Desktop I7 10th gen processor, slowdowns were rare on very specific points of the game, and software rendering fixed these as well. Since it can be done fly-by from PCSX2 in-game menu this really just a minor inconvenience. If you have a modern Intel PC this should not be a problem.
However on my 10 year old notebook which is already picky about PS2 games only Act 1 was played fullspeed, and software rendering was not really helpful. Between these two extremes, your mileage may vary.
nekomancereli 12 Aug 2024 00:57
does anyone have a recommendation on who to play with for extreme mode?
ProphetJade 12 Aug 2024 01:03
@nekomancereli Archer but also cheese most bosses by circling them really fast and you can normally get off two hits if you're fast enough.
JordanTechie 14 Aug 2024 14:26
Worse decision to make the achievements single player only. I guess my girlfriend will just watch me then 😔.
onlyonebanjo 5 Sep 2024 17:21
Mastered! That was a super fun nostalgia trip. The lag was pretty bad in points but like most have said, just change the renderer to software/vulkan as needed. I tried playing this 2-3 yrs ago and the emulation made it impossible, so happy there's been so much PS2 progress lately :D
thisfoo 10 Oct 2024 05:35
sorceress is the best for extreme the lightning ball is op af
thisfoo 10 Oct 2024 08:50
Drizzt is crazy lmao
HookedonOnyx 31 Oct 2024 06:26
It absolutely kills me to say this, but running the final level 5 times for the mastery is just not a good time. I'm not enjoying the Onyx Tower at all.
Nezperdian 6 Nov 2024 03:07
Mastered. Thanks for the set.
Sorceress the best!
RestlessTome 24 Nov 2024 13:07
Why is this game so damn laggy on emulation? Even with the tips given in the comments above, it still ruins a lot of the game. Isn't there a way to get rid of it completely?
RestlessTome 27 Nov 2024 06:34
The final boss on Extreme was a hurdle for me, but the rest was pretty simple. Just painful to have to deal with the lag for five playthroughs.
coffgo 15 Jan 2025 21:57
There might be an achievement logic fault on defeating Karne. I did it on Easy difficulty and it registered it for me when it's supposed to be Normal+
HalDanGhor 18 Jan 2025 17:13
@HookedonOnyx I avoided 99.98% of the enemies in Act 3 in my first two runs, though I'll prolly try to destroy everything in the way with my Sorceress, so she can be a bit more ready for Extreme Mode.

Mastered!
Carcosa 21 Feb 2025 19:03
Played this game as a nostalgia trip, and it wasn't great. The game is grindy and the combat dull. The music and mood are the game's highlights, but if you aren't a late 90's early 00's CPRG-head, you won't get much out of this.

smugnoker 13 Mar 2025 22:35
Finally Mastered! Sorceress is great as long as you don't rely on chain lightning for the final boss as it does no damage. Thanks for the set.

I'm surprised that more people don't play the second game

Fun set! Some tips for this game...

1. I'd recommend the play order of Archer -> Fighter -> Sorceress and play through those on Normal. There is no advantage to playing on Hard (at least regarding the RA set). Don't be turned off by the amount of playthroughs, once you've beat it once, subsequent playthroughs only take a few hours (if using some of my tips below).

2. As other have mentioned, Sorceress is best for the Extreme playthrough. Max Ball of Lighting first (which will make the beginning of the game very hard but it's worth it) then max Melf's Acid Arrow for the final boss in the Extreme playthrough (check out the tips on that achievement's page for help with that boss).

3. There is a way to exploit the "Change Players" option essentially allowing you to get free xp up to max whenever you'd like. Simply save before you do something that'll give you xp (like a quest turn in) in File 1, turn the quest in / beat the boss then save on a new file (File 2). Load File 1, go to "Change Players" and import your character from File 2, turn in quest / beat boss again, rinse and repeat.

Keep in mind that the game will reorder the save files by newest to oldest, so be careful when saving, loading and importing.

4. JUMP! Jumping in this game provides way more maneuverability, is faster than walking and negates any stagger from being hit with projectiles or poison. Put this on a turbo button for maximum effect. You'll be able to buzz through sections of this game in no time. I'd recommend turning the sound off for this... the jump sound can get annoying quick.

5. Load up on potions before you cross over from the Sinking Temple to the Onyx Tower (essentially the last part of Act 3 and the end of the game). Sleyvas, will sell to you before you cross this threshold and it's the only shop left in the game.

That's about it! Thanks for the set and good luck to all!
