I figured the cruel king was never evil to begin with, due to him mentioning his voices and the way he talks of trying to prevent the people he governs over from dying, but i think the reason behind his name has to be the way he's trying to "prevent" the false prophecies from coming to fruition, by freezing the lands, and misusing his power over the ice dagger, I honestly felt bad for having to fight him and i really understood where he was coming from so that definitely hit me in the feels twice as much knowing he wasn't a bad person just one caught in unfortunate circumstances.

In the discord I there was a poll for characters like the king if they should’ve brought back for demo 3, voted him because of his character development 🗣️🗣️
I thought demo 3 was nearly done, just needed some polishing. Either way, it has to go to griefer. The cruel king as a character has already met a form of closure. He stole the ice dagger because tormenting voices told him his kingdom would be destroyed in the future, and he stole the dagger to prevent said destruction. When he’s killed by the player, he re-encounters you via the Guru. Thanks to the fights, he realized that he was in the wrong and the player was trying to help save everyone. Thanks to that, the King is at peace and redeems himself by training the player. It’s a wholesome end that doesn’t need to be dragged on any further. Griefer, however… He’s apparently been “bossed around” his whole life according to him, and is left to rot in the Sacred Oak as a gross hybrid between plant and human. There’s so much we don’t know. Will he be okay? Was he really being bossed around? What happens if he even does get cured, swear vengeance or something? Come on… he needs a little more time in the spotlight.
@@Spencer_TheSpendercruel king could be coming back. The Ghostwalker could be able to revive the dead, and maybe its holder wants to torment us with previous battles... and then there might be s fight alongside cruel king that you cant be in a party for
He was my favorite npc throughout the whole game because of his sincerity to protect his people, i wish there would've been another way to take the ice dagger from him though, nontheless im glad we are on good terms. Glory to black rock!!
Something tells me this might lead to a bit more than one or two badges. Like a gradual purging of the influence Builderman exerts through the swords, possibly leading to a better ending.
he truely was the king blackrock neded i love him so much i hope in like the final fight of the game you like summon the spirits of all bosses who used each sword to fight the final boss cuz i can defenetly see his spirit saying "in the name of black rock you shall perish!" or "this is for my kingdom!"
I wonder if the prophet was that Blackrock will be destroyed. I really hope we could save BlackRock for the king, and that we'll get a new final dialogue "*Blackrock is safe now..? *.... *.... * Thanks you .. I felt at peace knowing my kingdom is safe upon your hands '
The most evil part about him was trying to kill you, but he only did it because he was convinced by the real main villain that Blackrock Kingdom would fall by your hands.
Fun fact cruel king is the guardian of the ice dagger like how someone else also is the guardian of the venomshank. Though you can argue that the ghostwalker not having a guardian is weird but thats because the ghostwalker actually never needs one since it just kills people who aren't pure and the player getting it means they count as the official guardian of the ghostwalker of course it will kill the player when they aren't pure anymore so they will have to purify themselves again. Also a story writer stated that cruel king is the guardian and that cruel king just used it without actual permission so he would definitely lose guardian title after the fight but since cruel king is dead before that he would still count as the guardian of the icedagger so uhh enjoy this information.
He fights to save his people but most people shurg it off and call him heartless and also if you click no he says "you finally understand" and "this is the only way" so he just wants to save his peo
To be fair, even before the Nirvana bit I thought Cruel King had good INTENTIONS. The guy wanted to keep his kingdom and people safe, he just kinda went about it in the wrong way.
I wish that in a future chapter, after we trigger the last dialogue with him, we unlock a way to bring him back, so he can rule over Blackrock again without the ice dagger controlling him
Ive been getting into the blocktales lore since ive played the game but heres my theory the future of the blocktales world is destroyed and theres chaos so maybe builderman or shedletsky sent us back in the past to collect all the swords and save the future thats why when we wake up in terrys bed terry says something in his dialogue about builderman, kidnapping, and time travel i think we probably told him that but thats just a theory
I saw the he will assist us dialogue for the first time, and that really convinced me that he was never meant to be evil, he just wanted good for his people Edit: i fixed something
when i was trying to get stylish badge, i started to like cruel king more because of these dialogues, block tales have such a passion with them characters wth
That would be crazy with griefer. But He still a monster but the more you kill him he became normal and saying thank you. And he want you to training with him with a normal griefer or venomshank or transform version
When talking about block tales, a lot of people talk about grinding cards or something else but little to no one talk about the lore, from what i understand there's these voices that tell the main chapter's bosses about the future, which at worst makes them go against their friends, family (like how griefier didn't care about his dad and the other civilians) this might mean that these voices are probably coming from the last boss fight ( i bet that the chapter 3 main boss will say the same thing about voices from the future) and we still don't know about "builderman" other than him being kidnapped (a "man" got "kid-napped" lol)
Yeah every final boss/any boss in general.Because they are fighting you to prove/protect someone,it was always there but people ignored the small details like dialogues.
@@MymomsaidImspecial we haven't gotten the full story of them,they are alive and have so much lore to them already,like did you know there also green and purple who were gonna be the duo with noobadoor but got replaced at end moment because of griefer?and did you know that blue is actually a girl
Actually I killed him in one attempt, but from his words it's always obvious that he just wants to protect his people for any cost. I didn't want to kill him, but there's no other option to continue the game.
he never shoulda had the 'Cruel' on his name in the first place imo 💀 literally what about him is cruel??? he cares so much ab his people and is willing to train you after you beat some sense into him
It’s because the ice dagger controlled him and made him paranoid that’s why he kept arresting people he thought they were the person the voice was talking about he realized his mistake before his death and also in our mind
Did the voices lie about the future where blackrock kingdom is being destroyed? The only reason you fight him in the first place is so he can save blackrock... man's dedicated
I mean thinking bout it again he do have a point like we literally breaking in into his castle, destroying his guard that hes cared about and ofc he would be worried since he think he are some bad guys wanted the ice dagger and will hurt his people for it. At the rate the name "cruel king" doesnt even fit for him since all what he want to do is protect his people and his kingdom
Since when he's evil bro, from chapter 1 i already know that he just want the best for his people he don't want to see the bad future for blackrock kingdom, but he do it in a bad way. Thats literally it. He was never a villain from the beginning the real villain is the "voices" first it make cruel king think he will safe the kingdom with ice dagger power and now he manipulated brad (griefer) to get venomshank for some reason and making him turn into a plant because brad want to kill us.
They all are good until "The voice" corrupt them. King and griefer, they both good but the voice is the reason make them change. We gonna fight 5 more boss of each chapter, better hope that they Don't die like the king or become a mutant plant like griefer
I thought it was obvious that cruel king wasn’t evil? Especially now that demo two is out. It shows that everybody who is getting the the sword Heights sword fights swords aren’t evil. They’re just doing it because voices are telling them to. So yea

Either way, it has to go to griefer.
The cruel king as a character has already met a form of closure. He stole the ice dagger because tormenting voices told him his kingdom would be destroyed in the future, and he stole the dagger to prevent said destruction.
When he’s killed by the player, he re-encounters you via the Guru. Thanks to the fights, he realized that he was in the wrong and the player was trying to help save everyone.
Thanks to that, the King is at peace and redeems himself by training the player.
It’s a wholesome end that doesn’t need to be dragged on any further.
Griefer, however…

That would be crazy with griefer.
But He still a monster but the more you kill him he became normal and saying thank you. And he want you to training with him with a normal griefer or venomshank or transform version
Its kinda sad we only fight bubonic plant
Maybe its because griefer is still alive inside the plant body covering him?
Idk because griefer is willing to throw away his humanity side and turn into monster only to kill us but fail
@@freezaaaathey said the bubonic plant was reversible
I mean, the only thing you do see that remains of Griefer's mind in Bubonic Plant is the occasional "H3LP... M3..." that happens between actions

Beta Griefer searching for power❌
Alpha Cruel King and the masculine urge to sacrifice yourself for your country✅
griefer is likely also confused, as he can say "...?" whenever you hit him. he, however, cannot speak in that form.
he says in bubonic plant H3LP M3 and M3ST K1L3
which is the only thing he says while in bubonic plant
The voices takes advantage of the Cruel King's fear
Plot twist: the king is a (Nice) schizophrenic
Dude has the fastest character development
better and faster character development then any anime
Lol it's pretty interesting how he was'nt bad after all, and ended being our ally, nice ally.
From the start I was like..."is this guy a villain" since from my perspective he's just a king trynna help his people
I can’t even beat him in the first place 😭
Bro got the diavlo treatment from jojos but at least he dies with reason why
Nah hes one of the best characters now 😭
Ah yes
You beat him to a pulp and he learns his mistakes
"For my loyalty to Blackrock will not bend." Why do I find this line so cool
For some reason he doesn’t get insane when refighting an idiot or a group of idiots, such a sane person😊
a minor spoiler of chapter 3

How do you get to the rematch area
All that just so we can use him as a meatshield now.
It should be an option to give this guy tea, or a cookie.
I thought i was the only one who discovered it
I already kinda figured that the sword or something else was possessing him to go insane
Would be cool to see him much stronger post game like Mario and Luigi rpg games
thx bro! I was stuck in that...room......
This is why he’s my favorite character
in demo 3, he’ll actually give you a call card
I mean yeah, He does that to only protect the Blackrock Kingdom
No wonder bro is called ice king ( definitely isn't because he is a king with ice powers just like ice king)
Since when he's evil bro, from chapter 1 i already know that he just want the best for his people he don't want to see the bad future for blackrock kingdom, but he do it in a bad way.

He was never a villain from the beginning the real villain is the "voices" first it make cruel king think he will safe the kingdom with ice dagger power and now he manipulated brad (griefer) to get venomshank for some reason and making him turn into a plant because brad want to kill us.
Why was the only options we had was killing him?? I mean Griefer lived (barely) so why didn't the king???
They should bring back the cruel King in the story some way
There was a poll in the discord of block tales, discussing who should be returning for future chapters and cruel king was mentioned
Omg really? I heard from my brother that the ghostwalker is the next sword, maybe we can revive the ice king as a ghost to help us?@@crook_gambler
And after that in the new demo
If you defeat him 5 times
He'll give you a card to summon him mid battle
wait how is the cruel king cruel if he wants his people to be happy?
They all are good until "The voice" corrupt them. King and griefer, they both good but the voice is the reason make them change. We gonna fight 5 more boss of each chapter, better hope that they Don't die like the king or become a mutant plant like griefer
He ain't cruel king no mo. Hes caring king.
I don’t know where found him
bruh he's such a homie why did we have to kill him
he aint no "cruel king"
he's the "honorable king"
Dude the plant guy (I forgot the name, don’t blame me, it’s like 20 letters long) literally only has 2 lines of speech, which is, “..!” and “..?” 💀
I played block tales and understood what i can see villian only in mirror
I thought it was obvious that cruel king wasn’t evil? Especially now that demo two is out. It shows that everybody who is getting the the sword Heights sword fights swords aren’t evil. They’re just doing it because voices are telling them to. So yea
Also now in the future: cruel king = friend : )
