I still have those games on playstation since release. Most people dont know about this game. love how you keep them alive. I know you can do better in the beginning.
Yeah I’ve never been able to let go of these games since first discovering them a few years ago. I would’ve loved them as a kid if I had known they existed. I instead stuck mostly to Final Fantasy 😅 that’s awesome that you’ve had them for so long! They’re becoming fairly rare
@@ImJecht oh fuck your the man. Thank you. I went to the site last night and admittedly it's too much for me. Now I might have a chance. Again thank you
no kidding. I end this game just some hours ago and it has many hard places and enemies. But the feeling, music and sad red sky environment are evolving.
Yesssss we call it a wall boost. And it’s very useful in this game. However it doesn’t do anything in the other games. It just makes you move slightly faster. Also, some parts of the run aren’t even possible without it. Like in the castle right before we strafe past the dragon to pick up the “key of the corridor”. If you aren’t wall boosting there, the dragon will kill you everytime you try to pass it.
I applaud you on what you did in the allotted time, but I’m conflicted cause of the ending not trying to hate but that’s not the main boss. I get it it’s any % and what not and again in that time you did it in its bad ass I know I can’t do it.
totally understandable! good ending is the best way to play imo. thats why theres a category for it! seperate from any%. i must prefer good ending over any% ua-cam.com/video/uccdKSuY88s/v-deo.html
Yeah! You need to do that to remove the barrier surrounding the broken moon sword! And you need the sword to open the door to the Verdite Castle. If not it just stays locked!
I recently started playing this actually. I got a steam deck and it plays very well. I was interested in speedrunning it but the run seems very underwhelming sadly. Still haven’t finished the game tho. I’m hooked!
@@ImJecht Glad to hear about your experience with it! Also, Monomyth is another similar game made by a single creator that has a free demo available on steam if you're interested.
Darkflame 52 in this video I named it KF2 but in all my recent videos I started naming them their American and Japanese numbers. For example, for this game I’d put “King’s Field 2 (3j)” to avoid confusion.
Because the Japanese game "King's Field" was very short and simple and they never bothered to bring it to the USA. The Japanese game "King's Field II" was the first one to be ported to the USA, and so they simply called it "King's Field" when it was released in the USA. Thus, when the Japanese game "King's Field III" came here, it became "King's Field II". And then there's the Japanese PS2 game "King's Field IV", known in the USA as "King's Field: The Ancient City". Also there's Eternal Ring that I've heard is similar
@@ImJecht honestly without that trick these runs would be hours long. Kudos to you tho I figured it out after I saw your runs. Amazing in still finding new stuff in this game after all these years. I already knew about kiting the walls to gain speed. However these runs also lack much of what make the game fun....the combat and finding the secret items..still impressed
I just saw the replies here sorry (thanks UA-cam ugh) but essentially. You want to be strafing left and mashing the action (x on PS1/2). It’s all dependent on the angle. I line all my door elevators up. Look at my HP/MP rectangle in the top left when I do the elevators. The left side of the rectangle lines up with a corner of the wall. (Sorry again for late reply)
Yeah it’s pretty easy to do in all the KF games actually. We just use them to our advantage! Haha. I like the glitches in this run just bc they’re simple. Quick. Not too intrusive to the experience of the game overall. And they look cool!
Yep sometimes I label it 3J (like my latest video) and sometimes I call it 2. Sometimes I even put “3j (2u)” on here. Just depends on how I’m feeling haha
@@ImJecht lol I'm the same exact way if I'm ever talking about kf... usually I'll just explain it once for someone..also like where does kingsfield additional 1&2 even fit? I really want to play those...I know they aren't quite the same as all the other kingsfields...but who cares I need it xD
I could see that being a common opinion. I think this game was very ambitious and it did fall a short in some areas. The game before this one was super compact and well refined! I have a hard time critiquing them tho really.

Oh man i love seeing this old gem getting broken. Thanks for the run!

Same here. Ps1 since release day and it still works
I remember using the walls back then too
I just finished this game four hours ago, and it was the second time, and this time I used maps from GameFaqs to do it 100%. I do love this game.
That’s a great way to play. I know lots of people who been to this day, play by drawing a map! Haha
What a glitch, I spent 24 hours just in the battlefield maze area, lol
Yea same casually. It’s super fun to do 😅
I wish I had this game to speed run. Lucky dude.
You’re free to play and run via emulator! (Mednafen)
@@ImJecht I'll try to see if I can identify what that is now.

Yeah I’ve practiced hundreds of hours to make this happen. It’s fun !

Dang I can't believe I didn't already comment on this obliteration of kf2 absolutely savage
You comment on everything! Also glad you’re still lurking around! I’m fighting to make time for more content 🫡
@@ImJecht what can I say my love for KF knows no bounds :) I'm a patient man I'll be here for the next time you completely shatter the game
26:20 GOOOAAAWWWLD!
Does looking at the wall make you walk faster? He does it a lot

The OG souls like game
Yea! I can’t get enough of these games
Man, the Fps are really better on the console! Nice run ;)
I agree! I really hope something KF-like comes along soon. Monomyth seems to be the best big KF thing. The Demo is so cool.
Sub 39 next Video!
Is that glitch with every door?
It’s only with doors that have a wall with ample room next to the door. There’s a few other spots that it works but they aren’t useful much really.
すげえ

I didn't know you had to find the four magicians to beat the game. Is that in order to get the broken Moonlight Greatsword?
Yeah! You need to do that to remove the barrier surrounding the broken moon sword! And you need the sword to open the door to the Verdite Castle. If not it just stays locked!

Yo i dont understand why the real kings field 2 is the first and why this one, wich is the third is called 2
Darkflame 52 in this video I named it KF2 but in all my recent videos I started naming them their American and Japanese numbers. For example, for this game I’d put “King’s Field 2 (3j)” to avoid confusion.
It's just the normal chronologically confusing english translation. Like with final fantasys
Cazse the 1st never got ported, and they startdd the english numbering at the second game.
Because the Japanese game "King's Field" was very short and simple and they never bothered to bring it to the USA. The Japanese game "King's Field II" was the first one to be ported to the USA, and so they simply called it "King's Field" when it was released in the USA.

How do you do that door glitch?
Hey sorry just came across this comment! Thanks UA-cam. Do you mean the door elevator? Where I just sort of shoot up the wall? Haha
@@ImJecht Yeah how do you do that door elevator thing? I've played this game for years and never knew that was a thing

Clear water cheatering!!
hate to be that guy but this games actually kings field 3 cause in north america we skipped one like final fantasy

This game stinks, too much backtracking and it's all long and samey. The game before this one was a lot nicer, this one is too verbose
I could see that being a common opinion. I think this game was very ambitious and it did fall a short in some areas. The game before this one was super compact and well refined! I have a hard time critiquing them tho really.
