Melos Plays King's Field II (1995/USA 1) - Part 1 (Seaside Caves/Pirate Den)
8Welcome to King's Field II (1995, titled King's Field in the West)! I'm Melos Han-Tani, game designer on various games like Anodyne, Danchi Days and Angeline Era, and I'm in the process of recording first-time playthroughs of the King's Field series.
Note my voice audio may be soft - it'll be louder from next episode.
As of uploading, I'm actually almost done with KF2 IRL. I estimate it'll be around a 9-10 episode series. I generally enjoyed it, although in the middle of my playthrough I'm a bit less enthusiastic due to how the game is paced almost like a mystery game - it gives you a ton of threads to pull on, which can feel tiresome at times. But after around the halfway point things pick up!
Episode Summary
03:00 After the in-game movie, I'm finally here on the shores of this island.. after dying a bunch, I reach the fire magic item on top of the lighthouse at 9:30.
31:20 I finally find the first save point after poking around a surprising number of places. I explore some of the snail caves, the outdoors waterfall areas, and eventually die to skeletons around 49:30.
1:05:00 - Around here I discover the save point above the pirate cove area, which gives me a lot of trouble with the skeletons. I still don't know what Star Gates do, nor can I cast my spells lol.
1:30:00 - After much trouble I finally manage to get the Morning Star out of the pirate cove area, and successfully save!
