Good day, dear knights!
You have now learned of the realms and enemies you will encounter in Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur, but you might still need some help traversing the unpredictable vastness of the Astral Dimension. Today we’ll teach you how to maximise your chances of survival and best use what Camelot's more ‘nomadic’ citizens have to offer to your advantage.
Explore the different areas of the realms as you enter their various dungeon areas. As you clear the dungeon of enemies and progress further through the realm, you will soon encounter some interesting map features, such as the Knight Statues and the Round Tables which grant you upgrades and skills, or the Healing Fountains alongside many interesting inhabitants of Camelot.
Here’s all you need to know about Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur’s non-recruitable characters, and one very special feature which will come in handy before your big battle against the giants!
Morgana – The Witch
Similar to the other non-recruitable NPCs, Morgana is not bound to one realm. She’ll often magically appear just when you need her. Should you come across her camp, she will offer you an almost irresistible deal: Gain a valuable blessing to aid you on your journey, but in return, you must accept a deadly curse! Both blessing and curse are entirely randomised and might be restricted to certain areas or weapons. This could mean that you receive a curse which will only have an effect in the desert area or a blessing limited to Gawain’s sword.
Will you take the risk?
Assam – The Merchant
Need to stock up? Find the travelling merchant Assam in all three areas of the map, and he’ll gladly help you. In exchange for Soul Orbs, he will present his items to you. From potions and vitality boosters restoring and maximising your health to ornaments and pendants increasing attack speed and damage - Assam has the right item in stock for you. Bear in mind that most of his shop items are randomised and while he always carries potions and knight tokens, he must keep up with the ever-changing demand and switches his other stock regularly.
Pan Piper
Find the mysterious Pan Piper if you want to prove yourself worthy - and earn a hefty reward. Like the previous two characters, you can encounter this sinister figure in all three realms waiting for you to attempt his challenge. Should you accept, you must survive a horde of vicious enemies set on keeping victory from you. Survive and you will receive an abundance of Gold and Soul Orbs which will allow you to purchase upgrades and items aiding you on your quest. Although this sounds like an irresistible deal, it might cost you your life, and the Pan Piper somehow does not seem to mind at all ...
Are you ready to face the challenge?
The Holy Fountain
The realms and their inhabitants can be tough on you and deplete your health more rapidly than you’d like. That’s when the Holy Fountains, or healing fountains, come in handy! Approach it and interact with the fountain to regain health when you need it most. A little tip, if you find the fountain early during exploration, save its healing powers for when you need them most, ideally before a boss battle – timing your healing can be critical for your survival!
