Quiet and Lonely Places in King's Field IV the Ancient City

Quiet and Lonely Places in King's Field IV the Ancient City

Hey everyone! I just finished making a video highlighting some of the quietest and loneliest areas in King's Field the Ancient City. They're also some of my favorite areas in the game, so I had a fun time making this one. Let me know what you guys think - I think it turned out pretty good! Thanks everyone 😁✌️

I finally reached 999,999 EXP in King's Fields 2, 3, and 4

In KF2 It's worth it and not too bad if you grind the minibosses before Necron (around 500 EXP each). With these stats you can one-shot Guyra with a dagger or wind cutter, which is pretty cool. Getting the Moonlight Sword without hitting him is kind of a pain, though.

In KF3 it is NOT worth all the grinding at all, in fact if you want to kill King Alfred and Seath in the fewest possible attacks you should just grind the light stat instead. With 252 light I beat King Alfred with 2 uses of Triple Fang's level 2 sword magic and Seath died to 3 uses of the Orladin spell.

In KF4 I actually didn't grind specifically for EXP at all because grinding all weapons and spells to level 3 lasts well past the point of reaching 999,999 EXP. I did finish the spells and most weapons, but a few really basic weapons didn't seem worth grinding. Every enemy in the final area can be beaten in one hit with these stats.

Overall, it was fun. For KF1 I'll try to get a better computer so I can emulate the unofficial english patch at a decent framerate. KF2-4 were played on original hardware.

Kings Field 4; what if I had removed the green guidestone?

I've been aimlessly wandering around in KF4 for weeks off and on, keep finding places around corners that lead to whole new areas etc, but finally realized I had all four keys now and I could go (spoiled myself earlier...) get the eye stones etc from way up on the tower. Luckily, I had put a Blue guidestone there and went straight to them. Getting to the Kings Throne area was pretty easy from there.

But then I could not find a way down farther, even deeply scouring maps I have, even the Prima guide. And remembered that at some point some guide said to use the Green guidestone and you'll get to a new area, and apparently I luckily did not remove the guidestone as it lead to an area near South Cliffs etc, which you can then keep working down farther. My red guidestone is somewhere up top as well, probably should have grabbed that before I started working my way down. I do have a Yellow guidestone I've never used that if I find another one near the bottom area, I will use it.

Anywho, this all said......... What if I had removed the Green guidestone near South Cliffs and didn't have one below it? Would I have been softlocked? Or maybe I have just overlooked some path down?

Lord I can not imagine doing this without good maps and a guide. I'd be completely lost. I'm still usually lost, but eventually find my way around.

How to have fun in this game?

Kings Field IV (Ancient City)
I've always loved the music and the atmosphere in this game, tried to play it, turns out that it's clunky, a bit ass and overall is not made for human enjoyment
Is there an OP build/cheats that would let me enjoy playing through this game? Some might say that all the suffering, deaths and very low things the developers do to the player, are part of the experience, but I say that i just want to have fun and vibes.
Shadow Tower Abyss was much-much better at this.

Just started KF 1 (JP). This game is something else.

Decided to dive in to the origins of Fromsoft and am attempting KF for the first time ever. I'm maybe 6 hours in and am maybe a 3rd of the way through floor 2.

This game is special. I haven't been this excited to dive back into a game for a long time. This game was made for me. The mystery, exploration, vibe, everything. I'm loving every single second.
