Gauntlet: Dark Legacy is one of my favorite game of all time. I replay it at least once a year ! It's just so satisfying to make your way through the crowd of enemies. The bosses are cool, the soundtrack is really good and it plays really well ! I even used to play this game with my grandparents when I was young !

I'm pretty sure you may know this but getting the item the bosses are weak to makes the fight easier and less tedious. I always get the items before facing the bosses.
As a heads up, it is getting a remaster to anyone that was wondering. It's a fanmade project that a good bit of people are working on. discord.gg/PARzWz
there is a game on steam that piggybacks off of this game! it's a complete inspiration from this and i've played it with my friend! it comes pretty close to it! unfortunately.. i dont remember the name of the game since it's been almost 5 years since i've touched that game as well xD a google search should get you to it! :D
Or at the very least reprogram the game to be downloaded and emulated on any personal computer. Without needing internet connection to play it. More power to the players.

They made a sequel-ish game called Seven Sorrows after this, but it wasn't as good. check it out here: gauntlet.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Gauntlet_Series Didn't know they'd made a new version in 2014, kinda cool.
I remember the spider queen cheese, her body is made up of multiple attackable spots so if u just ran her over and over and buy triple throw before each fight you could lvl to 99 in about an hour of grinding. The good old days
DJChiefX197 I just got an updated copy of the GameCube version and it has boss health bars with multiple hit boxes instead of just the dead center as the only hit box!
I would pay up to $500 to play this game again with hd graphics. The steam gauntlet just cannot compare to the amount of creativity dark legacy has. This game and diablo 2 were my all time favorites games to play. I love the 1-99 levels and simple 4 characters to choose from with the upgraded version of the characters. I could play this game for years. Unfortunately they just don't make games like this anymore. Really wish they would remake this for steam with better graphics and extra dlc levels. They could easily make a gauntlet dark legacy 2 that people would love. All the gauntlet games after this were just bad. I'd do just about anything to play a game like this with today's graphics.
I've been playing this on my original PS2, my husband and I both grew up playing this. Thank you for making this video. I love seeing the love this game still has.
I just recently got the Sorceress to lvl 99, and I'm now working on the Warrior. The bosses were really fun, and provided a good challenge. Though I felt the Wraith should have been the final boss instead of Garm. He's hard. And with the Chimera, the fight's glitched on my copy. I can't destroy any of the heads, and the scimitar doesn't decapitate the middle head.
You could've also taken the Tri-shot with you into the Dragon fight. I wouldn't have judged (That's actually my favorite farming method). :3 (Note: It's also a decent item against the Chimera, for any "novice players" out there.)
@@SerafiniAGaunt your link has expired. Could you either remake one or direct me to where I can learn more. I had no idea anyone was working on a remake.
When I saw a Lich was the master of the first realm, I expected a typical "spellcasting skeleton wizard" affair and that the axe wielder was some prominent secondary enemy. Having him instead be rotting executioner is such a wonderful break from the norm.
This game has been in my family for years it’s what we used to always play and we just got another original Xbox and we’ve had the disc for years but no Xbox so we getting controllers then we’re gonna play it
I never 100% completed it because I kept failing to unlock the Unicorn and Sumner character classes. Got everything else though. I even maintained multiple game saves on my memory card so I could do couch co-op with friends who didn't have their own game saves.
It's not bad, you're doing fine, but there are a few things I would have done differently. Like strafing, and more use of blocking. I mean, your health is high so it doesn't matter, but would add flare. Also a few melee combos in certain spots.
Nunca encontré la ultima Runestone, y nunca pude terminar el juego. Después de 10 años aun sigo sin saber el final del juego. Espero volverlo a jugar en estas vacaciones. :')
This game is one of the main reasons I bought a 4 player arcade cabinet for my rec room. They really should do a full blown remake of this. All new visuals, models and fix some of the camera issues. They can keep all the music and sound though, no need to change any of that.
ah these were the days my dad used to give me what little money he had for the rare occasions we'd go to an arcade i'd use up ALL of that change money to play this game. i'd love to go into an arcade again. since i make my own money, i'd be able to spend as much as i want and see this game all the way through. although i did beat it on console when it came out later, there's just something different about playing it in a arcade xD
3:09 you have defeated the horrifying lich and recovered his shard. 4:48 you have defeated the mighty dragon and recovered his shard. 6:42 you have defeated the fearsome chimera and recovered his shard. 8:52 you have defeated the vile plague fiend and recovered his shard. 12:15 you have defeated the vicious spider queen and recovered her shard. 15:14 you have defeated the terrible genie and recovered his shard. 18:35 you have defeated the vicious yeti and recovered his shard. 21:32 you have defeated the mysterious shadow wraith and recovered his shard.
They haven't made a new Gauntlet in 10 years so I made "Shred The Undead" with Gauntlet fans in my heart. Would love to know what you think of it. The demo is on Steam and supports four players.
Need someone to make a faithful remake, updated graphics and animations, optional perma death mode. Maybe add on a few more characters/color options and secret levels but that's about it. Feel like it would sell well, we absolutely need more couch co-op games.
Out of everything, I choose the Armor Knights, Zombies. As the foot soldiers, and the anker biters. I choose snakes, for the realms I would be in the Forest realm and for the boss to guard me. I select Lich.
I choose the Frost worms and lizardmen. For the foot soldiers i would choose the hands and for the realms it would be the Forsaken providence. For the boss to guard me it would be the Genie
Do you have some specific version of the game ? How come you were able to pick up every item from skorne? And what was that pop up when you defeated him in the underworld?
looks like it might be the Gamecube version. I seem to remember that one letting you grab them all. Also what do you mean "pop-up"? The scare-crow thing with a pumpkin head? It's called a Mikey decoy. It takes damage instead of you when active. It's not in the arcade version because the arcade version forced items to be activated as soon as acquired.
I played the Gamecube version. When I used to rent the game as a kid I also never saw any health bar, but I'm guessing the later version of the game might have added them.

This game needs an hd remaster
Really ! It's one of the best and most fun games to play.
Yes!
Real talk
Yesssss the Legends game and seven sorrows were just sadddd attempts. This title is def a legend of ps2 games.
As a heads up, it is getting a remaster to anyone that was wondering. It's a fanmade project that a good bit of people are working on. discord.gg/PARzWz
i don't care if the original studio that made this shut down, we need a Remake of this on all consoles immediately.
there is a game on steam that piggybacks off of this game! it's a complete inspiration from this and i've played it with my friend! it comes pretty close to it! unfortunately.. i dont remember the name of the game since it's been almost 5 years since i've touched that game as well xD a google search should get you to it! :D
I'll take it being on Steam as is
Or at the very least reprogram the game to be downloaded and emulated on any personal computer. Without needing internet connection to play it. More power to the players.
Use to stay up all night with my freinds playing this every weekend. So many good memories. Need them to remaster this!

The fact this is getting a fan made remaster is the best thing ever
They need to remake this game just modify the graphics add more characters and worlds it would be the shit!!
They made a sequel-ish game called Seven Sorrows after this, but it wasn't as good. check it out here: gauntlet.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Gauntlet_Series
Didn't know they'd made a new version in 2014, kinda cool.
I personally wish they'd make a "Gauntlet: Ultimate Edition" featuring all the character classes and worlds from the previous games.
Ed boon said this back in 2013 that a remake would be possible
I'm remaking Dark Legacy with a small dev team! We've got a prototype with the Red Warrior. Come see! discord.gg/eNqSenD
And fix some of the camera alongside the other fixes you mentioned, and it would be an absolutely fun experience.
This brings back so many memories! I remember playing this as a kid and having so much fun.
I remember the spider queen cheese, her body is made up of multiple attackable spots so if u just ran her over and over and buy triple throw before each fight you could lvl to 99 in about an hour of grinding. The good old days
We always used spider queen for that
My copy of the GameCube version had invisible health bars for the bosses, making it feel like Cuphead.
That's a known glitch in the GC port.
DJChiefX197 I just got an updated copy of the GameCube version and it has boss health bars with multiple hit boxes instead of just the dead center as the only hit box!
Every copy of Gauntlets is personalized
As a kid my ps2 copy had the same issue. Or maybe I'm misremembering.
When lich dies that skull hand, man thats creepy yet epic
His death was probably the most hardcore.
Imo wraith has it worse. Wraith was sucked into a vortex I can image the terrible things inside that vortex with endless pain
I played this game before. Me and my dad played together and finished the game. I kinda wanna play it still... threw away my PS2
I play on my pc with dolphin emulator.
Emulate it with either a PS2 or Gamecube emulator.
It boggles my mind that you would throw a PS2 away. Xbox and N64? Sure. PSX and PS2 no way.
To this day, I still think Skorn has one of the hardest demon designs in history, in both his forms
This game is so phenomenal.It never gets old even as the years go by
Blue knight getting hit: "aiee"

I miss this game so much. Played this with my family as a kid, and my cousin just got it again
I’m about to get it again to play it. It was so fun and hard
Just found out the dragon's roar is an elephant sound effect with some extra editing
Never would have thought that but it makes total sense.
How did you just find that out? It sounds just like an elephant. It is edited poorly. 😂
Most underrated ps2 game
It's also on the GameCube. Only Mikey is available on that version.

This game holds up so well. Played through it with multiple groups not long ago

The bosses were really fun, and provided a good challenge. Though I felt the Wraith should have been the final boss instead of Garm. He's hard.
And with the Chimera, the fight's glitched on my copy. I can't destroy any of the heads, and the scimitar doesn't decapitate the middle head.
From what I heard is that if u use the scimitar in the GameCube version it won’t do anything
Still my favorite game to this day
I like how the Lich puts his head on his body before fighting
This was during the time I would annoy the shit out of my brothers but when they wanted to play with me I felt like the coolest person in the world.
i actually played this game with my dad when i was younger and we still have the game
If we can play this in the new gen consoles that would be amazing
Alright nostalgia, gimme another hit
They should really remake this game 🙏 Game companies remaking the rest of my childhood games so why not this one
We are! We've got a small prototype with Red Warrior. Come check it out! discord.gg/eNqSenD
MY FAVORITE PS2 GAME OMG I USED TO PLAY THIS SO MUCH WHEN I WAS LIKE 7
same! i think i was about 5
@@camonthejam It was so damn fun
queen spider gives a stupid amount of experience
Uf this game is inspiring me to make my own low poly horror monster slashers game
Do it again!
Do it again!
Do it again!
Aiyeeeh!!!
My fave class was the Medusa just for the stupidly good ranged offense.
You could've also taken the Tri-shot with you into the Dragon fight. I wouldn't have judged (That's actually my favorite farming method). :3
(Note: It's also a decent item against the Chimera, for any "novice players" out there.)
My favorite treasure farm was the genie when you get the lamp.
I remember always being super disappointed how easy it was to kill the dragon
Still the best game to date in my opinion. If it had a remaster I would pay anything for that
Oh God the nostalgia of this game me and my cousin played this game all the time it really needs a hd remaster
So nostalgic 😭
Ahhh yes the blue knight, my favorite of all time still!
the greatest game ever made

I always loved it when the grim reaper would start chasing us.
I love how the boss health bar at the top right shows the face of the bosses your fighting
i have this game on my ps2 and LOVE it
the dragons roar made me picture a red dragon elephant and now i cant unsee it.
Me and my brother used to farm the Spider Queen as we read in a magazine that she was good for exp so we used her to max out every character lvls.
ah these were the days
my dad used to give me what little money he had for the rare occasions we'd go to an arcade

Kinda unique detail that each boss has their oen health bar?
3:09 you have defeated the horrifying lich and recovered his shard.
4:48 you have defeated the mighty dragon and recovered his shard.
6:42 you have defeated the fearsome chimera and recovered his shard.
8:52 you have defeated the vile plague fiend and recovered his shard.
12:15 you have defeated the vicious spider queen and recovered her shard.
15:14 you have defeated the terrible genie and recovered his shard.
18:35 you have defeated the vicious yeti and recovered his shard.
21:32 you have defeated the mysterious shadow wraith and recovered his shard.
This is just as good as Legends it’s basically the expanded version with new worlds new characters and new bosses
"You have found zero runestones from this realm" GOD DAMMIT!!
lich so gangster, i need that hood
Hands down one of the best games ever created 🙌 👏 ❤❤❤

3 way shots 👌👌👌
I would 100% buy a remake to this game
Didn't there used to be special weapons to find to instantly do huge amounts of damage to specific bosses
You are correct.
The only ones that do damage is the javelin and the scimitar.
I love the Chimera of this
play speed at 1.25, that's how a gaunlet remaster will look/feel like.
Remake with dark souls graphics would be insane
I've only gotten to play the arcade version of Gauntlet Legends, hope maybe one day I'll be able to play Dark Legacy!
Emulate it
I'd buy a remastered version and buy it 50 times over til I don't wanna play it ever again
Is it just me or was the Wraith the hardest of all the Bosses?
Nope its the hardest
Okay so the studio shut down. There HAS to be a way we can get an hd remaster of this!

I miss this game
Did you know you can strafe lmao
I sure didn't. XD
You can?!
This is an all time classic when it comes to arcade style games. It needs to either get a port or remaster, because the newer games were god awful.
This whole game is a deep-fry meme
