How it plays
The adventure is viewed from a third-person perspective as Brian travels across a connected fantasy world. The main objective is to visit towns, explore fields and dungeons, defeat monsters, and gather information about Benjamin and the missing spirits.
Battles begin when Brian encounters enemies and move into a combat arena. He can run, dodge, defend, use physical attacks, and cast spells from four elemental disciplines. Experience improves Brian's attributes and spells, while saved progress is recorded at designated locations.
Plan your run
Learn enemy attack patterns before spending magic points. Keep moving during arena battles, use defensive positioning against strong attacks, and favor elemental spells that match the situation.
Explore towns and side paths thoroughly for healing items and spell growth. Save regularly at available save points, especially before entering unfamiliar areas or major encounters.

Before you begin
Use movement and distance to avoid attacks rather than relying only on defense.

Quest 64 is a fantasy role-playing game developed by Imagineer for the Nintendo 64. Players control Brian, a young apprentice who leaves his monastery to search for his kidnapped father, Benjamin, and recover a powerful magical artifact. The game uses real-time movement through 3D environments, while battles take place in a separate arena with freely moving combatants and elemental spells. Its streamlined design emphasizes exploration and direct combat over equipment management. Reception was mixed: critics often noted its colorful world and accessible battles, but also its short length, limited story, and technical restrictions.
