Now that you’re a week or so deep into Knighthood, King and Midoki’s new midcore hack-and-slash adventure, you’re probably starting to come up against enemies that are a lot tougher than the ones you were wiping the floor with earlier in the game.
Don’t worry though, because we’ve been putting a lot of time into the game, and we’ve found some strategies and secrets that are going to ensure your journey to becoming the greatest Rage Knight the world has ever seen is going to go swimmingly.Â
If you’ve got your own hints and tips, we’d love you to share them in the comments section at the bottom of the article – and if there’s anything you’re having trouble with, make sure you let us know and we’ll do our best to try and help you out of whatever sticky situation you’ve found yourself in
The Gauntlet is the most important weapon in your arsenal, and the sooner you understand that, the better you’re going to do in the game. It might not do as much damage as the weapon you’ve got equipped, but since it charges up your super special moves, it’s key not to focus too much on slicing and put some work into punching.
It’s a great idea to build up your Gauntlet power over the first round so that it’s ready to use when the tougher enemies start to turn up. Find heroes that have status effects in their special moves and you’ll do even better – flames and acid will linger, doing damage over time.Â
You also need to upgrade your gauntlet, using special coins that you’ll get from finishing off certain fights. Don’t just focus on powering up a single part of the meaty mitt though, make sure you’re upgrading everything and you’ll do just fine.
Where in other games you’ll build up a set of armour and weaponry that’ll see you through the whole adventure, things in Knighthood are a little different. Your weapons and your heroes are strong against different kinds of enemies, which can make them super useful sometimes, and super not useful at others.
That means when you get an impressive weapon it’s important to start levelling it up, even if it’s not that useful at the moment. Just round the corner there’s likely going to be enemies that are going to quake in fear at your powerful new chopper, so long as you’ve toughened it up enough to hack them into pieces.
The same goes for your heroes – you’re going to be unlocking them on a pretty regular basis, and it can be easy to get attached to a duo and keep them on side. That’s not going to cut it though – but don’t worry, we’ll let you know a great way to upgrade heroes you’re not using in the next section.Â
About halfway around the second chunk of the map you unlock you’re going to find the Shrine of Heroes. This is a great way to level-up heroes when they’re not in your team, and it’ll bag you some other swanky rewards as well.
Essentially the shrine lets you send your Heroes off on their own side adventures. They’ll disappear for a few minutes of a few hours, depending on which quest you send them on, and when they get back they’ll have earned a whole bunch of XP that’s going to make them way more useful in the long run.Â
Make sure you’re not sending away useful heroes – ones who are strong against the enemies in the area you are – unless you need to level them up and don’t have any scrolls. You’ll find scrolls in a variety of places, and they can also boost the XP of your backup characters, but you don’t get many, so making good use of the Shrine of Heroes is a great idea.
Signing in to Knighthood on a daily basis will make sure you’re getting all of the goodies the game has to offer. There’s plenty more to get too, thanks to daily challenges, sidequests and more.Â
You’ll also unlock mines as you play, which will give you resources you can spend on new equipment or use to upgrade the swords and armour you’ve already got. It’s also a good idea to keep an eye on the potions you’ve got equipped – they can really change the course of a fight if it’s going wrong.
Watch out for special monsters that pop up on the map as well – they’ll drop big rewards if you can take them down, and those are exactly the sort of rewards you should be after. The game is pretty good at letting you know when there’s something going on as well, so check your alerts regularly to make sure you’re not missing out.
