Definitely NOT the intended way to play the game... :o For today's Ancient DOS Games Pro video, Gemini's once again taking a look back at Excelsior Phase I: Lysandia, this time to attempt a "Genocide Route" through the game, inspired by Undertale, with the goal being to beat the game while eliminating as many friendly NPCs as possible along the way, as well as checking to see if the game is even capable of noticing if the player decides to go way off the rails with this kind of vile behaviour. ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * After checking through my footage again I noticed that of the two regal side-quests before going into Keep Ironthread, you do at the very least need to complete the one for Castle Infinitum as you get a special key at the end of that quest which you need to wind a Clock for solving the final puzzle. :P * In the final kill count at the end I hadn't separated out the kings from the regular townsfolk prior to voicing the script, thus why the number I speak is slightly higher than the number shown on-screen; it all still adds up the same. ;) ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: https://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: https://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: https://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html Kris' Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/kasick @ pixelmusement.com on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/pixelmusement.com ------------------------------------------ Chapters: 00:00 Title and Intro 01:03 Character Creation 01:56 Preparing for the Slaughter 03:47 "Testing the Waters" 05:37 Main Quest - Royal Keep 06:36 Main Quest - The Elixir 07:26 Main Quest - Crystal Jar 09:01 Main Quest - Gem of Severance 11:34 Main Quest - Banishment Sword 13:26 End of the Game 14:01 The Genocide Route 24:40 Conclusion 26:23 Credits
