[Golden Axe II] Single Player, Easy playthrough (Sega Mega Drive Genesis)

I went ahead to the sequel after completing the first game and chased after the RetroAchievement for beating the game.

Turns out to my surprise that Easy Mode doesn't actually include the final stage and boss so I recorded the Easy mode playthrough and then had to restart the game on Normal. I'm not going to upload the Normal playthrough as, like the first game, the end boss was pretty beefy and took many attempts, but I eventually beat him.
Good game but I feel the first game left more of an impression. I'll look to see if I have the third game and give it a go soon.

Game description from https://howlongtobeat.com/game/3995
In this sequel to the popular Golden Axe, the Dark Guild has risen to dominate the world and destroy all that is good. Now, it's up to you to stop the Guild and his minions and restore peace in a world of magic, mysticism, and mayhem. You can play as the Barbarian, the Amazon, or the Dwarf each with special skills and characteristics as you set out to bring down the Dark Guild and recover the Golden Axe. You can engage in traditional hand-to-hand combat, use magic to get your point across, or even hop on the back of a dragon and devastate your enemies with the ancient version of a flame thrower! If you can stop the Dark Guild and retrieve the Golden Axe, all will be right in the world again. Should you fail well, that's not an option.
