Darkmere: The Nightmare's Begun (1994) - Speedrun Verfied by Speedrun.com Played by MilkToast About the game: Darkmere: The Nightmare's Begun is an action-adventure game developed by Zero Hour Software and published by Core Design in 1994. Darkmere was first being developed by Arcane Developments, but due to repeated delays and the project becoming too ambitious, development was moved in-house at Core Design and the code was "virtually rewritten from scratch Core Design went on to publish a sequel to Darkmere that same year called Dragonstone, on Amiga and Amiga CD32, which failed to match the critical approval of its predecessor. Plot: Long ago the great dragon Enywas killed villagers and burned down their farms every night. One day an elf named Gildorn left his people to slaughter the dragon with an enchanted sword crafted by the mage Malthar. After his difficult encounter, Gildorn was made king of the village and found himself a wife Berengaria. Gildorn's happiness was short lived. One day his wife left and all he found in his search was a child she had given birth to and Gildorn named him Ebyrn. Gildorn had been neglecting his duties to protect the kingdom in search of his lost wife. As a result, the kingdom suffered a fate worse than the Enywas' attack. A plague of orcs, brigands and dragons swarmed the kingdom followed by a cloud of darkness called the "Darkmere". Villagers were now constantly killed or taken away and no one was safe wherever they went. Finally in his dying days, Gildorn entrusts Prince Ebryn with his old enchanted sword and an elven crystal and requests him to seek help from Malthar then find and destroy the source of this evil.

What a great game this still is, the graphics and the gameplay is spot on. There are not many sources available to help me understand what exactly has to be done for each quest, so I did a lot of research on my own to figure everything out. I am still not sure about every detail, but most of my strats are working out in this run. I tried to avoid as many encounters as possible, but especially the orcs can be very tricky dudes. There is so much time to save in my opinion, because there are multiple routes possible to complete the levels, I was just sticking to one which seems to be a good one. I did a lot of minor mistakes, but I am not sure if I can really get a way better run for this game so I am fine with it. I also tried to pick up as less stuff as possible only in the last level I was playing it safe and grabed a lot of health items for the final fight. This final fight is super annyoing, because of all these little dragons you have to kill. Still I can totally recommend this game its an excellent Action-RPG with way more stuff to do then I did.
