"No my mother is dead but your mother lives for it is surely she who dressed you." Omg I'm dying lol!
I guess Brandon's not so dumb after all.
That line had me howling the first time I heard it
Brandon is a secret roast master confirmed.
Over multiple playthroughs I learned how to navigate in the Serpent's Grotto. The key thing is marking each od the single room exits with glowing berries so you are able to backtrack your way back by following the shades of the berries placed back to the berry bushes. I even use the colorful stones (take a full inventory of these before you enter the grotto) to mark the special rooms - gold, moon, emerald and the way to lava pool.
Have you ever played or seen a game as a child that you have almost no memory of? You can't remember the name, the plot, the music, the characters; you just remember that a game exists but literally nothing about it? That was this game for me. Every time I thought about it I would spend an hour or two thinking in the back of my head, trying to remember what it was. Thank you for finally solving this 2 decade long mystery for me Scarfhulu. I can sleep peacefully tonight.
I used to have one of those too, well it was a series of games actually, but every time I would describe it to someone it would just sound like ramblings of a madman. Then about a year ago we were talking about childhood games at university and ended in to this subject. As soon as I mentioned few key details about the series, an underclassman was like "Oh, you mean Bellini's bikinis." and I was released from my torment that had lasted for over a decade.
Great video. I actually like when you spoil the endings since I usually don't plan on playing all the games I watch videos about (God there's so many), but you do you fam.
Lung kisser same.
The fact that Joseph Kucan voices Brandon amuses me greatly -considering he also plays the role of Kane in Westwood's "Command and Conquer" series. Night and day inasfar as roles go.
I wish I knew about this trilogy of games back when. The ads and cover art showed the super-creepy looking jester looking down from a tree, which just totally turned me off. If I had seen screenshots, I think I would have instantly wanted to play it.
Ah, Scarf. You always bring a smile to my cold, dead, lifeless mask of a face. Keep it up man.
Oh wow, Grand Dad joke. I can now happily go on with my life.
scarfhulu, I have to say that you are my favourite youtuber. even if you don't upload as fast as some other youtubers, whenever you do upload your videos they are always incredibly good and incredibly well made.
This game seems to be very charming, and the sprite work is great.
Oh my god a Joel reference AND an Eric Andre reference? I'm in love!
Wait.............Grand dad
GRAND.........DAD
FLEEENTSTONES?!?!
I've seen him in the Siivagunner comments section
he already made that joke
Protagonist having silly quips seemingly out of context looks rather charming. Also for the time, that is some top notch animation, Westwood really knew how to be clever with animation within game engine.
Oh the fireberry caves! We wrote out the map and marked rooms with berries with a B, and marked death rooms with a big X, I remember my brother and I making the map together when we were playing and stashing it in the instruction book for future play throughs. Not nearly as bad as getting through the mines in Return to Zork with the code words in the dwarves' conversation... that was so awful! We didn't think it was that weird back then to draw out the map. It's just what you did like write down your save code grids from Megaman. This was our favorite point and click series growing up.
Dear Scarfulhu, I really love when you cover adventure games like this one. Titles I've never heard of that are just so fun and whimsical, it's really up your alley. It's a big part of why I loved your Dragonsphere video too. On Twitter you asked us what our favorite video of yours this year was, and I think I have to change my answer to this one. Easily one of the best videos you've done. Keep up the good work, my friend.
9:35 OHHHHHHHHBHHH
This was a lot of fun. I've been a long time sub and I think this really is your best video yet. Thank you for your work.
Thank you! I'm really proud of this one so I'm glad you think so.
Played this game religiously as a child. As far as Adventure games goes, this game had a level of polish that most didn't. Westwood Studios was such a fun company, they made Kyrandia, Nox, and C&C. RIP Westwood Studios.
haven't watched the whole video but I already know it's gonna be good.
Hahahahahaha the Eric Andre reference ♥ Yeah the graphics were stunning when we got this in the early 90s. We would constantly start new games to look at the intro again and check out that depth of field effect. Though its randomness in puzzles made it kind of off putting, I loved playing it, and loved mapping out the Grotto with my brother and dad as a kid, strangely enough. Also, I think Frank Klepacki was a teenager when he wrote all the music for Kyrandia, which is baffling imo.
Well, watching Books 1 and 2 in the wrong order, but dang, I've got that point n click itch again this month.
My mum was expecting to go into surgery for her hand, and needed a bunch of single hand game recommendations while she recovers. And being a huge Oddworld and Machinarium fan, point n clicks are heavy on the list. Definitely adding this one.
I had this as a kid and treasure it still to this day. It's nice to see the cave is such a notoriously hated part of the game because I literally had to draw out my own map years ago... and it helped substantially.
I absolutely love the Legend of Kyrandia series (the first being my favorite - I found Brandon's dialogue throughout the game to be so great!), although I feel like Legend of Kyrandia 2 was better designed (no mazes! Less random!) but Legend of Kyrandia 3... and the Cat Island is... a nightmare! I recently finished all three (long play and commentary) on my channel.
Don't forget Westwood did the highly underrated Blade Runner adventure game

GRAND BURN!
FLINTSTONES!
I just rewatched this for the third time and all I gotta say is
fingers are wonderful
isn't there an uncanny resemblance between the model of brandon and Brandon Jones from game trailers?
BTW 9:46 ROFL
This review makes me happy :) Adore the music, colorful visuals and bouncy inventory items!
I had something to do, can't remember what it was now, but I had to drop everything to watch this. Not disappointed, either.
So much Scarfulhu recently...love it!
Now this is a game I'd like try out. Great find.
Nice to have all the Curse of Monkey Island music underneath the commentary.
My dear sir,
You have a delightful hair
Have a nice day.
Yo aren't you dead?

Elvis is dead, me never !
Woah woah woah. Follow a walkthrough for the fireberry maze? What are you saying?! Suffering through that goddamn maze, way back in the day without the availability of online walkthroughs, was an important part of my childhood. Everyone should be forced to meddle through it too, I say! Also, this was a good game. The second in the series, Hand of Fate, is a GREAT game.
Yeah, I suffered through it too. But what I'm saying is I don't think everyone has the patience these days to properly enjoy it as they might have done when the game came out. It could tarnish someone's opinion of the game if they didn't play it back in the day. Y'know?
Considering how I don't have much patience, this is something for me to admire and not actually play.
The third of th series tho was..... strange.
I used to have a few CDs called 20 Giant Games and it had Book 2 The Hand of Fate and I remember it being fun but challenging! It was funny because all the games were on different disks to what was printed on them
I love the Eric Andre Show's "We'll be right back"
This is an adventure gaming classic, and I've always felt that it was a bit overrated, as many design choices can be rather annoying. But yeah, the maze is the worst part BY FAR. I also find the voice acting in the CD version really underwhelming. However, the sequel is terribly underrated, and I think deserves to be recognized as one of the BEST adventure games ever. Apart from a couple of annoying bits near the end, Hand of Fate is stellar, and also features one of the best female protagonists in gaming. Quality of voice acting was also greatly improved.
I'll keep that in mind. Hand of Fate always did look pretty great, so I'm excited to play it (whenever I get around to it.)
Was wondering when you'd get around to this. XD Glad to see it highlighted. Good job.

I am way late from when this was published but it was still a joy to watch. Kyrandia was the first game I played on a PC and it will always hold an important place in my nostalgia.
Keep up the great work love your videos your one of my favorite youtube content creators your just so chill plus your scarfs are top notch
There's just something charming about these old 90's adventure game stories. Have a macguffin of infinite power that can grant anyone the ability to control everything? Nah don't guard it, just leave it out. I'm sure it'll be fine.
Kyrandia 1 & 2 was always THE adventure games for me. It's basically my childhood (partially because it had russian transtations unlike many other games in that genre at the time.. 10y old me was not good with foreign languages).
Kyrandia 2 is probably my fav adventure game of all time. It had some really clever things going on with it's potion brewing system and Zanthia is a sweetheart.
the serpents gotto gives me fucking nightmares to this day, 20 years later.
Ahh someone finally does a fully fledged Legend of Kyrandia review. And honestly, I did guess that if it was ever going to be done by anyone, it would be you!
Couldn't agree more with you about the labyrinth though. I remember in 92 when I first played it as a wee child I couldn't get past it and quit. I only finished the game years later.
I hope you will get around to the anomaly that is Malcolm's Revenge. It has the material to make a really fun review out of. So much so in fact that it'll be hard to pack it all in there. Maybe a 2 parter?
I used to mark the safe cavern entrances with the berry, so when placing berries: I put one berry on the entrance I came from and one berry to the entrance I will go through. When I have the last lit berry, I will live it at the entrance and backtrack. That way I will know which doorways are safe to travel and which not if I don't have berries.
this video is perfect, your voice is just made for these type of videos. keep up the good work :)
dude, you are killing it with the uploads lately. keep it up!
That outro music sounded kinda 80's...
I love that...
Holy fuck that Eric Andre tightrope bit got me good
Protagonist is named Brandon......
I'm called Brandon ....
BEST GAME 1000000/10!!!!!!!!!!!!
But seriously, great review man
The gameplay mechanics is due to this game basically being an Eye of the Beholder game having being retrofitted into an adventure game.
The only thing I know about this game is I heard a remix called "Forest of Kyrandia" once as a kid, and I loved it.
Very great and fun review!
The music in this game really shines if you have a Roland MT-32 or play this game with MUNT installed. Kyrandia and it's sequel have some of the best MT-32 soundtracks ever made in the DOS era.
I love these videos so much.
Well , i know it's kinda late , but you inspired me to play the whole serie which i just finished and what can i say.... Amazing games. 1,2,3 they are all awesome. the music are great , the plot is solid , characters i actually had pleasure to play with. Thank you for your advices. i just now want so much your reviews about hand of fate and malcolm's revenge (my favorite). it was a childhood memory but i never did it before. now i'm feeling more complete !
You'll be pleased to know I've started playing Kyrandia 2 for an eventual review. Maybe not soon, but it's a start!
@@Scarfulhu Yesss, easily the best of the three. Varied, characteristic lands, a female protagonist who is not the traditional Strong Female Protagonist™, a great spellbook with better recipe puzzles than the MI series, and oodles of charm. Also, better dialogue.
I was quite young when this game came out and had no idea at the time you could drop the fireberries to keep rooms you left lit. I still beat Serpent's Grotto without a walkthrough, it just took far too long.
Dunno if you mention it, since I am only halfway through the video, but I loved that Brandon is voiced by Joseph Kucan, better known as Kane from C&C.
Oh my god that comeback. Pure gold.
2:05 That picture of the man writing with sunglasses is avatar-worthy! :D
The animation; GOOD *insert whatever deity/deties you worship* that opening animation
Finished first and second games. Played third one, but don’t quite remember if I finished it. Def favorite games of my childhood
Have you ever talked to a jester when they're off duty? Those are some sick dastards!
As a backer of Mighty no 9 I can indeed confirm that a few of us are still up here, but my tears aren't of sorrow but of bitterness, I hope that didn't mess up the pool of sorrows to much,
9:33 xD
I got 99 problems but Scarfulhu is 83 of them
Nice review/summary of the game. Wish you'd done all of it though... Maybe in the future put out two versions of videos covering games like this, where one hides the ending portion and another doesn't? Just a suggestion.
haha Kyrandia.

2:23 I see what you did there, younger Scarf.
2:24 All of Scarf's comments on high-quality rips have led to this moment and I could not be more giddy.
This is extremely similar to King's Quest 6. While watching I thought to myself, "have I seen this game befo- nope, that's king's quest..."
Also 6:00 That Eric Andre feels so good on my skin
when you played this game, and the nostalgia kicks in
Yay, my favorite scarf wielding elder god video have arrived.
I remember playing the sequel, where you're in the shoes of Malcolm. Good stuff.
So while watching this video I suddenly felt like the cover of that box looked very familiar. Turns out I actually owned this game before I moved - it's still at my old house with my roommate.
"Hide and seek"-kid looks suspiciously like Adric from Doctor Who.
The Limmy show 'kill jester' part killed me
When I was a kid a drew a map of the labyrinth on the paper: that was the only way I could beat it. Needless to say how many times I have died before I had to come up with this idea.
My favourite dos game. We had the Cd when I was a kid and it was easily my favourite game back then. the first had so much potential, then it started getting just- silly...
Omg a Limmy's Show reference XD Scarfulhu you're awesome
nice siivagunner reference
that made me smile
Really interested in playing this. Great video as usual!
Had to watch this before watching the video on part 2. This is very much a liked series by PAK fans.
This game looks so adorable!
new video already? aw HELL yeah
Fingers are wonderful.
Missed you so much dude
Aaaah my childhood. Love this game SO MUCH. And yeah that bloody labyrinth... also: cool hair, dude. Are there any games similar to K right now?
That 7 Grand Dad reference. Beautiful.
first day of school in nine hours but fuck sleep, lets watch scarf
not where i am
Always fun to see Joe Kucan... or hear in this case.
Hey Scarfulhu, have you ever heard of a company called Daedalic? They're a German game company that makes a lot of point-and-click adventure games, and personally, I LOVE them! Since you're such a fan of point-and-clicks, I think you might find some enjoyment in their games too.
"...with plenty of deaths. And a big *sigh* goddamn labyrinth." Someone plese explain to me why I am in tears laughing at this one SINGULAR statement.
You are tired? It just stuck a nerve? 42?
Please finish this series I love Hand of Fate so much and I'm curious to see how you like Malcolm's Revenge :)
Westwood make some really awesome Adventure games. Blade Runner is one of the all time point and clicks.
Talking about Westwood point n clicks, have you played their Blade Runner game?
I would have been interested to know what the ending was, since I'm never going to be able to play this. Any chance you could put it after a spoiler warning in future vids or do you think you'll be leaving the end of games out of your videos from now on?
(Really great video, by the way. Good job.)
If you're looking for other Westwood games to play, try the Blade Runner point-and-click adventure game. I freaking love it to death, so I really want to see what you think of it.
I caught that Steven Universe reference in the save file names. Nice.
That grand dad joke doesn't surprise me considering where I've seen you commenting
Man, this game takes me back. I used to love playing through it, but I'm glad you didn't go easy on that stupid grotto.
It's available on GOG to anyone else who wants to play it, by the way
