Top Ten Enemies in the Quest For Glory Series
If you've ever picked up a game in the Quest for Glory series, you know that it's not just about saving the day - it's about the journey, the challenges, and the fascinating creatures and foes you face along the way. The enemies in these games are as diverse and memorable as the series itself. From mythical beasts to cunning adversaries, each encounter brings its own flavor of danger and excitement. Some will test your combat skills, others your wit or ability to think on your feet, and a few might even make you laugh at their absurdity before they try to take you down.
Not only the best enemy in the first game, but the best in the entire series as well! While having badass designs, they offer good difficulty and excellent loot. First off, the design looks incredible if you ask me! I love that grey color mixed with pink eyes, bright-green teeth, and blue torn-off shirt. It looks excellent!
They're the strongest enemies in the game, so strong that even a maxed-out player will have a tough fight. And the loot? The loot is excellent! You can earn anywhere from 20 to 49 silvers and also get their beard, which you can sell for tons of silvers. They're night monsters and only come out at night after you achieve one thousand experience points (which isn't that hard actually).
Arguably one of the coolest-looking enemies in the game, the Cheetaur is a centaur with the look of a panther. Yet it isn't as fast as the name suggests (you can actually outrun it, and the Saurus Rex is a lot faster). The Cheetaur is surely an awesome monster!
It's quite a difficult one, although not that hard once you master the stats. While you don't get any money from it, you can sell the claws to get tons of silvers. The Cheetaur is a night monster, but once you hit one thousand experience points, it will appear during the day as well.
Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness' GOAT monster is certainly the Wyvern. While they don't drop any loot and can poison you, requiring poison cure pills, their design is what makes them stand out. They have a beautiful golden color, and the enemy is difficult but fun.
This may seem hypocritical because in my list of enemies in the third entry of the series, I placed the Flying Cobra last despite it being technically similar to the Wyvern since they are both flying monsters that can poison you. However, the design makes the Wyvern superior. Unlike the Flying Cobra, which always poisons you, it's much easier to dodge the poison in this game. The soundtrack played during this fight is pretty good, although there are better songs in my opinion.
Overall, the design is the best of all enemies, the soundtrack is cool, and it offers some difficulty and challenge!
Perhaps some of the most underdeveloped monsters (that could work out with origins) but still one of the best. That has to do with the fact that they are still interesting. They drop some pretty good loot as well. Not only that, but their design is quite cool in my opinion.
The only way to improve them is by giving them a bit of background because, honestly speaking, they feel a bit like filler despite actually looking like they could have some background.
They are difficult, but their design and loot are excellent. These are the only normal enemies that actually use magic to attack you and not a standard weapon. I like it. That makes the Leopardmen stand out from the other enemies.
While they look a bit generic, I really like their colors. The loot is excellent because you get tons of coins when you defeat them!
Such a simple enemy makes it to the top ten, and it certainly deserves to as well. I really like their design overall. Their spooky bright-green color offers some spookiness, as it looks like you can see through their bodies. However, they have colorful clothes.
They have decent loot, although it's usually only around ten silvers, and if you're unlucky, you won't receive any treasure at all. However, they have a camp in the forest where you can fight groups of goblins and earn tons of silvers, and that is excellent.
These are pretty cool monsters! Or should I say wizards that have been mutated into "abominations." These are very awesome enemies with great loot and an awesome soundtrack!
I gotta talk about the soundtrack. It's quite epic and sounds a bit like heavy metal, and I love that electric guitar! The Chernovys are basically the Leopardmen of this game as they both use magic to attack.
One of the more unique enemies from the series, but while being the best one from my favorite video game of all time, it's only in the eighth spot ironically. They are unique and have cool designs, and they're the only monsters in the game that are fought in groups, although sometimes you can fight just one. I really like this feature as it offers some difficulty.
While only one fights you at a time, the others will attack you from behind. You can sidekick by pressing five on the numpad, and it's such an awesome feature! So while not maybe being as excellent as, say, trolls or wyverns, they are awesome, I must say.
While ridiculously easy for being the guards of "The Lost City," Apemen are decent enemies in my opinion. They may look kinda weird, I'll admit, but they have decent loot luckily. It's especially good when you are in "The Lost City." While you can't go back there, you will be confronted by an Apeman every time, so you will be making some good money (even though at the end of the game, coins don't serve much of a purpose anymore).
These Demon Worms surely look quite awesome if you ask me. Unfortunately, they don't have any loot as they are underground monsters, and when you defeat one, it will go back to the ground. Their design is what makes them quite excellent. They have a beautiful red color that shines, and they are quite difficult - maybe the most difficult of the standard seven monsters.
