What are some Starting Tips for King Arthur: Knight's Tale?

Explore each area you encounter

• As you unlock new Locations, thoroughly exploring each area or dungeon you encounter can have a lot of benefits for your progress. Once you explore an area or dungeon in King Arthur: Knight's Tale, you might encounter numerous items that can give your team a buff or be beneficial to you in combat. You can also encounter different routes in the area where you can engage your enemies from their backs. Dealing backstab damage gives a lot more than normal attacks. Lastly, exploring more will eventually lead you to hidden NPCs that will be beneficial to you as well.

Pick one Elemental Level-up for each Hero

• It's worth knowing that you'll be encountering enemies who is fully resistant to a specific element. So having a team with different elemental abilities is a very smart choice in countering enemies with immunity to a specific element. One of the pros as well for leveling one specific element per hero is that the hero will be very effective around that element when it comes to powerful enemies whose weakness is that element. So, if you have a Vanguard Hero with powerful fire-based attacks and stats, you're most likely guaranteed victory against enemies who are weak against the fire element.

Immediately save for high-end equipment

• In King Arthur: Knight's Tale, the most powerful Weapons, abilities, decrees, and weapons are not going to be cheap. So if you can, immediately start saving up for the powerful equipment. Don't waste your resources on unnecessary upgrades. Once you save up, you can get the best high-end materials by purchasing it at the Merchant Tower and The Round Table section. This is connected to the first tip which is exploring each area you encounter. Exploring every corner will make sure that you're not leaving any gold or valuable resources behind.

Construct buildings as soon as you can

• Constructing resourceful buildings in King Arthur: Knight's Tale will build your fortress profoundly as a whole. This can help your journey ahead in numerous ways.
• The Cathedral will be your main source for healing your fallen heroes. Most of the time during the storyline, you'll be using this building for your heroes.
• The Merchant tower will serve as your supplier for the equipment of your heroes to make them more powerful. You'll be needing gold to buy wares in the merchant building.
• The Enchanted tower will serve as your Arcanist's main building. You can use this building to learn magical arts and consume magical items to reap the benefits.
• Lastly, the Hospice. This will serve as the main resting building of your heroes to replenish their health for the next coming journey.

Recruit as many Allies as possible

• In King Arthur: Knight's Tale, building the best team of Heroes is what it's all about. Having multiple heroes on your team will not only boost your workforce, but it will give you multiple options when your main heroes are resting or are downed. You can check the Morality Chart and see how you can recruit allies throughout your journey. The types of allies you can recruit will really depend on your morality. Leaning towards Rightful Morality will have allies like Sir Lancelot joining your tea, While leaning towards a tyrant morality will have allies like the Black knight joining you. But, whichever you choose, make sure to recruit allies and ensure you have enough slots to take them in. 

Have Potions Ready before Embarking on a Mission

• It is important to ensure that every Knight in your team is stocked with a health potion before embarking on a mission. Potions do not automatically replenish after being used by a knight. It’s important that every knight in your team is at least equipped with one because applying potions from one knight to the other is not an option within King Arthur: Knight’s Tale.

Utilize your Minimap to Assess foes

• It’s important to always utilize your Minimap when entering areas and dungeons to quickly assess what type of enemies you will encounter. Ranged foes would normally appear as circles on your minimap, Melee foes would appear as circles, and spell caster would appear as triangles. Utilizing your minimap will also let you spot enemies that blend in the environment which makes them hard to spot quickly.

Keep your Team close together

• It’s important to take note that if one of your heroes or knights are separated from the group, the hero will most likely get surrounded and downed. So it’s always better to have your team close together with melee knights on the front and ranged units behind them. It’s almost guaranteed that your team will be outnumbered by enemy groups, so having them stick together will be the viable option.

Camelot King Arthur: Knight's Tale

As the story begins, Camelot was left off in a state of ruin. It is up to Sir Mordred to restore the Kingdom, lift morale and gain the loyalty of the people once more. Camelot also acts as the main hub of the game and can be accessed from the Map. As you progress in the game and gain more Gold and Building Resources from Missions and Events, you can build new buildings within Camelot which will serve to benefit your Heroes and will unlock additional features. Unlocking these buildings will allow you to able to expand your Hero slots, heal any injured Heroes, gain access to better quality items and other additional benefits. As you construct these buildings, additional upgrades may also be added to enhance or add new features that can benefit you and your Heroes. One of the Main Building you will find in Camelot is the Round Table where you can pass Laws and Decrees which are directly affected by your Morality standing, so it is important to find a good balance or choose a side that you feel will reap greater benefits. 

What are Choices in King Arthur: Knight's Tale?

You can choose from a variety of choices in King Arthur: Knight's Tale that have an effect on the game. Each of these choices that you select during dialogues throughout the game can either give you progress, consequences, or both. These leads to new Events that may also require additional decision making and may further affect your relations with the people of Camelot and the Heroes at the Round Table.

There are choices in almost every dialogue in King Arthur: Knight's Tale. Most of the choices are mostly used for the story. A chat with a character finishes when you have learned about their history and position in the world. These exchanges are shown in the dialogue as white text. Other options, those highlighted in yellow, typically put a stop to the debate or lead it in a specific direction. Most of the time, these decisions don't really have any consequences or huge impact for your progress.

Heroes of King Arthur: Knight's Tale

There are over 30 Heroes of different Classes. These heroes are recruitable and later become playable characters that players can take on various Missions. Gaining loyalty from new members that are sometimes encountered during missions will affect the dynamics of the Round Table and may even open up opportunities to trek on additional missions. These Heroes must be heard and cared for in order to maintain their loyalty and capability to fight alongside you. Loyalty will act as one of the main features that must be paid attention to in order to keep the peace at the Round table and the Kingdom. This will also affect the available decisions that are encountered in game which will also adjust where your morality is positioned.

Heroes are your main resources – but no mere numbers! They have their own distinct personalities, goals, rivalries (even unique traits, skills, and bond benefits). They will observe your decisions closely! Settle disputes, grant favours, select heroes who can work together, and send them on missions they are comfortable with. Tread carefully, because their loyalty depends on many factors. They can even leave and turn against you!

Some Hero features can be found below. 

• Complex RPG-like Characters - The character progression system is designed to be as deep as in the traditional RPGs: heroes level upon unique skill trees and the complex loot system provides unique options to fine-tune their tactical capabilities.
• Death is Always Final - Beware! Heroes can die during missions and the treatment of their injuries, curses, and diseases takes time. You must manage them at the Round Table accordingly, planning ahead before going into battles. As heroes take time off between consequent missions, management of their injuries and selecting their substitutes are essential components of gameplay.
• A Question of Loyalty - Each hero has a distinctive personality. Settle disputes and grant favors to convince various knights to remain loyal to you. Some of them will observe your decisions closely, and some knights will even have conflicts with each other. It is your job to select heroes that are the best fit for your goals (and each other) at the Round Table. The hero's loyalty is constantly changing through the decisions made by the player – in certain cases, they can never leave the Round Table and turn against you.

Sir Mordred King Arthur: Knight's Tale

Sir Mordred will act as the Main Protagonist in the game. Sir Mordred was the nemesis of King Arthur, destined to battle the Once and Future King in their final duel. He fulfilled his destiny and they both died – or didn’t they?

The main story begins with the Lady of the Lake. She has brought Sir Mordred back from the fate of his duel to send him on a mission. He belongs in the Defender Class and is the starting character as well as the main character who is central to the premise of King Arthur Knights Tale. With his second chance at life, Sir Mordred's Main Mission is to recruit heroes to strengthen the Round Table and watch Camelot flourish while searching for clues to locate and find out what has happened to King Arthur. Once he has been located, he must then finish the job. 

"I am Mordred and I was reborn on the mystical island of Avallon, the resting place of the falling knights. A vision told me my purpose: to find and destroy King Arthur.

I woke up in a ruined caslte, a reflection of the real Camelot. This is my castle now. I am still trying to understand the nature of the powers that brought me here, but meanwhile I have a new realm to build and an old enemy to kill"

Loyalty in King Arthur: Knight's Tale

Loyalty in King Arthur: Knight's Tale measures your good standing and relationships with your Heroes and Knights of the Round Table.

Each Hero will have a different Loyalty standing depending on the choices that are made. Each hero also has their own sets of personalities that will determine how they react to your decisions, so the results will vary from each hero. 
• Stats - Loyalty points can affect combat and effectiveness in battle by directly increasing or decreasing damage stats and AP points.

This includes the Decrees and Laws that can be passed to receive additional bonuses. Apart from that, your morality also influences the loyalty and the standing of your comrades. Some Heroes may work with you if you are doing well, and some might even leave the Round Table due to your unruly ways.
