Episode 124
Gargoyle's Quest is one of the most unique experiences on the Game Boy! A spin-off from the Ghosts 'N Goblins franchise - It's part RPG, part side-scrolling action, and somehow that combination works well here.
In Gargoyle's Quest, you play as Firebrand, one of the Red Gargoyle's from the Ghosts 'N Goblins series! It's not everyday that you get to play as the bad guy, and Firebrand is an awesome anti-hero! You start off weak, but as the game progresses, Firebrand will gain the ability to jump higher, fly longer, and use new weapons or items.
So how did this game get made, and what about it's awesome sequels? In today's video we'll find out, then we'll dive deep into the gameplay where we'll learn:
* Where to find EVERY hidden item!
* How to survive the RANDOM ENCOUNTERS in the treacherous Ghoul Realm!
* How to maximize your FLIGHT abilities!
* Where to find TONS of hidden VIALS and EXTRA LIVES!
* SECRET Passwords that will start you out with enhanced abilities!
* Where to find the ESSENCE OF THE SOULSTREAM and the WINGS OF THE FALCON!
* The best way to navigate every confusing MAZE!
* EASY strategies for defeating EVERY BOSS... even BREAGER himself, AND MORE!
Thanks for watching!

My dad took me to the April 1990 Nintendo Powerfest in Detroit (part of the touring Nintendo World Championships). They had TONS of upcoming games that you could play way before they were released, including some SNES consoles (Which didn't exist in the US back then). But I was too shy of a kid to fight my way over to try the really popular games. Instead, I spent the entire 3 hours playing Gargoyles Quest at a little gameboy kiosk in the far corner of the convention center. It was one of the happiest moments of my life. I can still remember it, crystal clear.
Oh man, this game was the bane of my childhood. I could never complete it.
Thank you!
Still holding out hope that the Halloween video will be Zombies Ate My Neighbors!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Oh yessss that would be Christmas on Halloween!! 🎉
Good luck with that lol
That would be an endeavor.
Some of the best music.
Wow double thanks for this one! This is one of those classic games I could really use a guide for. Please do the whole gargoyle series
#2 is very similar to this. The soundtrack is amazing too.
This was my go to car trip game as a kid. I remember playing it on trips to Toronto and Florida. Also, it was another game I got from my Grandma on Christmas Eve. Thanks for covering it ❤
Yoko Shimomura made Guile's, Nina's, and Geno's theme on top of Traverse Town and Destati for KH. For that alone she deserves a statue.
a nice little gem of a game. Pretty cool how it started on GB then went to NES then SNES. Usually games start on the "Better/best" platform then spin off onto lesser ones.
Small correction at 2:55
Shimomura was still at Capcom when she composed on "Breath of Fire", Square only took care of publishing the game in North America.
Funny how many comparisons can be made with Kirby: flying protagonist, wrong coloring of the protagonist on the Western package, started on the Game Boy, direct sequel on NES. Joining other comments to say I would love to see a UCBVG video on Demon’s Crest!
This is still my favourite Game Boy game of all time. I'm already excited to see what new stuff I learn from this!
Demon's Quest is the game i want to see the most, it's one of my favorites game of all time, it was (and still is) amazing game with lots of secrets, multiple ending and a unique open world a la Metroidvania. Really one of top SNES games that need to be covered.
Demon's Crest has my vote too.
Although, to get the best ending on the game, you have to play the @#$&^@*#^$ skull-headbutting games. They are NOT easy or fun.
@@Sauvenil haha, i never had problems with this mini-game, they're the first thing i do when i first go on the world map
Does this mean you'll eventually do Demon's Crest? The whole trilogy should be re-released on modern systems.
I'm 40 now but I used to watch gargoyles when I was a kid
At this point I was really expecting something like this at 7:38 "So if you're struggling with the beginning of the game, F it"
One of the best games of the Game Boy's first batch.
The Dark Fire in fact has a special property too, it can destroy enemy projectiles but at the point you get it the only enemy who uses it is Breager.
Ahhhh! Thank you! This was one of my first games on the gameboy! I wish capcom would release a sequel.
Good doggos playing a good game.
Best Saturday morning cartoon ever.
I picked up Gargoyles Quest 2 for the NES for getting good grades in like 2nd or 3rd grade. Quickly became on of my favorite games. I still have it with my original NES, and play it every once in a while
Love the run downs you do + all the hidden items/places and other tactics you add...Also your puppers are way to damn cute and I love how you incorporate them on the title screen and in your intro, it's way to wholesome and I love it!
What a cozy channel, the kind of thing you want to watch by a fireplace. I especially like the old game-guide aesthetic on the sidebar.
This was one of the hardest games I ever played when I was younger with the original GB....You made it look super easy, though I am older this guide made me want to play it again as I still have the original and guess what? Even I can beat video games! Great job and great guide!
nice! this series owns. hope they have a collection with all GnG titles (and Ultimate in HD!) someday...
1:16:28 Fun fact: _Rushifell_ is one of many Latin letter transcriptions of Japanese ルーシフェル which is the only Katakana transcription of the name "Lucifer". It seems that the translator took some transliteration liberties to avoid Nintendo's early "no religion" policy.
I came here to say that but thought to check first. It's either clever censorship avoidance or Engrish at its finest.
And given the time period of the game's release either one is possible.
You might deserve a couple more subscribers.
Your gaming guides are addicting to watch.
I remembered playing this around 92 and passed it. Great game. I don't think I would have the same patience to replay this game through again.
About Yoko Shimomura, she will be rearranging the musical score for the Super Mario RPG remake
"Something that you need to be aware of is that whenever you jump off of a wall, you always jump up a little bit, so if there are spikes directly above Firebrand you're going to take damage."
That is a good thing to point out, and it's actually one of the few flaws in this game that has always annoyed me. Fortunately it was fixed in Gargoyle's Quest II.
I always love the research that is put into your videos. Top-notch content! Keep the coming!
Wow. I didnt expect it to be such a short quest! Makes up for it with those damn spikes
This was one of my (and my older brother's) absolute favorites on Game Boy back when it released. I played through this game numerous times and it never got old. I really liked all the music in the game but my 3 favorite tracks were the Overworld Theme, the Desert of Destitution Stage, and the Final Stage of King Breager's Castle.
If a legacy collection of these ever hits Steam, I'll be sure to pick it up.
Looks like Patrick Star on the box art. 😂
Love that ending music. Very well made.
This was one of my favorites on the old Game Boy, and I was just playing it a week ago actually. I remember seeing it in Nintendo Power before it came out and it was the main reason I wanted a Game Boy, though there were other games I liked for it. I ended up getting the system before the game was available, so I had to wait to play this. I was excited when I finally saw it in a store. At first, the game seemed really tough to the point where I wondered if I might end up regretting getting it, but I got used to it and ended up liking it a lot, obviously.
This is definitely a love letter to the 40 club ❤
This game is a treasure and I’m happy you got around to reviewing this series of delightful games.
I look forward to seeing Gargoyle’s Quest II for the NES as well as Demon’s Crest for the SNES one day.
Wow wow wow wow my favorite gameboy videogame. The mood is zo sad all the way. Its awesome. MAN, I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! Never quit❤
Nice video! Always been curious about this series, feeling a lot more confident about checking it out now!
All october ive been on a gargoyles quest binge, playing through the entire series for the first time. Its been a ride, and its cool to see you playing it as well!
Subbed for doggo. Stayed for content
My dog would have tried to eat that. She got one of my DS games one time. Sims 3. Whatever. I was never going to play it anyway.
Great video, as usual!
This was hugely helpful. I've always wanted to play this game and found your video while playing through it for the first time on my Switch. What a fantastic game, too. I was blown away by how satisfying it was. I wish the NES sequel was on Switch, but Demon's Crest is, so that's next on the list. Thanks again!
I still find it funny that capcom made a series of games where you play as the most obnoxious monster in ghosts and goblins. Anyhow, Demons Crest is still my favorite of the series.
been rediscovering the GameBoy thanks to this channel
I loved this series! Great pick!
I remember going on a family vacation and I begged my mom for a new Gameboy game to enjoy. I randomly picked this from the Toys R Us and was pleasantly surprised at the gameplay.
I think this is the best playthrough of this classy game that i've ever seen.
I was really hoping for a new episode soon. The best thing for a Saturday morning 👍
The best channel on UA-cam does it again. You rock, man.
Great to see this one done!
A fun choice for this time of year. I've never gotten that deep into this game, so I was surprised to see how short it actually was! Good to know 'heal up and facetank the boss' is a legit strat, 'cause some of them seem to have pretty annoying patterns. Hopefully we'll see both sequels on this channel eventually. I love the aesthetics in both, but Demon's Crest was the first of the three I was ever able to really get deep into and it's always been a Halloween season favorite!
Its like you know all the games i love. Thanks so much for these videos
A fantastic yet difficult game. Got me hooked on the rest of the series.
Holy crap dude. Every time I'm like "Gee, UCBVG is taking a while" you come back with one of my absolute favorites
Hands down one of my favorite games as a kid.
I love this channel!
I'm taken out for the best walk(through) of my life with each and every video. I love this channel s o much.
Wagging my gamerheart till the end of days.
Thanks for all the treats, friend.
Sincerely, Poul, Denmark, aged 50
Long time no see, UCBVG!
GWAH is the band comprised of the bad guys from this game
Really enjoyed it! Thanks UCBVG!
Fantastic video as always!! Thank you!
Also, Gargoyle's Quest II was released on Gameboy in Japan. Excellent conversion!
holy crap, my favourite game boy game! :)
Fond memories of this game. A GB highlight.
another fantastic pick!
Great video, love this game.
There you are, welcome back
Lol I like how you showed Guille's stage when listing the sound designers accolades...
Loved this game! Thanks!
One of the best game boy games! I still play this today
I own all 3 Gargoyles Quest games, but this is the only one I never finished. Thanks to your channel, that will change. Hopefully you do a guide of the other two while it's still October.
Thank you very much for this
I enjoyed this episode. If it was any other youtuber I'd likely not watch it because it just looks too old. But it was actually a fun video to watch with your narrator. Thanks for sharing an old game I would have likely never have heard of if it weren't for you. There will be worlds that need saving from total annihilation and that's why we'll be back next week with another game you can beat.
Haha, your pup clicked on the Gameboy this time I noticed - I love it! I notice even the little things in your videos and I always look forward to every week with a new game I grew up playing, and loving and is my go-to videos when I am in between shoots at work while filming. (or least before the strike we are still dealing with in SAG-AFTRA, but hopefully will be working soon as I will be doing a leading role doing voice over for a game by Blizzard I am excited for as it will be my first game I'm working in! I grew up with these games and now get to do voice over work in a game finally - as if I've come full circle!)
Best Gameboy game EVER! ❤
Always look forward to the Halloween play throughs.
This is awesome!! I grew up playing Demon's Crest, which happens to be one of my favorites on the SNES.
Gargoyles Quest looks like something that I would have played to death. Looks like I have new plans for this week.
Demon's Crest has some of the best atmosphere of any game ever made.
Lol to be honest his brief history on every game he plays is the best part!
I like the part where he gives me tips so that I can beat the videogame.
Compared to my shyte channel this is a breath of fresh air...you have that voice and timing that could sell ice to a Eskimo...I almost tear up when i see the NES advantage...i need one again just for the memories. Anyhoot ive been a long time subscriber so im just saying Halo😅....and love the videos so keep em coming.🖒😀
Awesome video. Never knew this game existed.
Oh hell yeah, love Demons Crest on SNES but never played the first two. Excited to play along this on NSO
Dude! You've gotta do Demon's Crest! Please!
These games are getting better and better.
Chévere vale. Gracias por el video.
Thank you U can beat. For another great video. I got to re-up my Nintendo switch subscription. I'm definitely going to play this though. I was playing demons crest for a while. Take care brother
Wonderful game. There are truely some Game Boy gems.
WOW! I never knew this game existed! Let alone know it was a Ghosts n Goblins game?! Way cool! 😁
Thank you.
I just nailed Rushifell bro. Couldn’t have made it this far without your help. 👹
Oh hell yeah!!!
There is an easy way to bypass the Final Bridge. If you make Firebrand jump into a pit as low as he possibly can without losing a life, and you can see just the top-most pixels of his head, if you start flying you will go under all of the obstacles and reach the end without having to interact with anything.
I love this game because of the victory theme is awesome
I was thinking, and you should add these two new tiers to your patron. Big money penguins
and
Get some money Anklos.
Cool Gameplay
Gargoyle's Quest is my all-time favorite Gameboy game.
Dis game rules!
Love this game; used to casually speedrun it.
Great game, I loved both versions
Can't wait for you to do Gargoyle's Quest II, I've been wanting to replay it again after like 30 years but I'm too lazy, would rather watch you play it while I drink some beer hah.
You should read all game dialog with a Shatner impression from now on.
