    I found funny how the Goblin Knight, an imposing knight that looks like it belongs to Dark Souls that, in-game, is defending his princess's grave to the point of bleeding to death, has one of the most upbeat and banger boss music of all and I respect that

    I had 2 different pains here in my first glorious run with the stone scholar it was fun to try with various tricks and spells to finally win (but evry hit was instakill)
    The second run princess nail that run was just philosophic we both fought for our princess and when i won i just paid respect in silence

    The cool thing about this fight is you can totally cheese it if you play as a Murk Sage. Just make sure to snuff out all the lights in the chamber first, then keep casting Illusory Image. The Goblin Knight will keep attacking it until he gets exhausted, then you follow up with a regular attack. It costs a lot of mana, but if you snuff out ALL the lights, the Murk Sage will never run out.

    Even when playing as one of the stronger characters and wielding the best items available at this point in the game, it still takes impeccable timing and positioning to land even the first blow against the Goblin Knight. If you feel like you aren't up to the challenge, then fret not - a few grams of yayo will surely see you through to the end of this fight.
    Ok, but seriously, did they accidentally throw in a few extra 0's when programming the stats for this guy? I remember playing this game as a kid. I'm playing as the Cursed Fool, I'm dripped out in the frog knight armor, I've got my shield up, and the guy just fucking smites me down in one hit. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

    • @dontkickmychick6076
      @dontkickmychick6076 9 месяцев назад

      Apparently looking through the code there are actually two enemy IDs for the Goblin Knight. It's assumed based on notes and an unfinished cutscene that the guy was supposed to have a slower but much harder hitting and armored first phase, then transition to his moveset he uses now by spawning in the second enemy ID, but due to rushed development times this was scrapped and for some reason they decided to use phase 1s stats with the phase 2 moveset. If I had to guess it's to raise the difficulty level in order to compensate for the sacrificed length.
      Edit: Ok so looking through the game files you can actually fight old Goblin Knight albeit with missing textures, but it crashes the game whenever you get it to 0 HP because it calls for assets from SunRuinsboss_final.map, a map which doesn't exist since you don't fight GK in a separate arena from the rest of Green Sun Ruins. Also, fun fact, the enemy Lost Old Glory (meaning pick anyone but him or else he won't spawn) uses this scrapped Goblin Knights moveset.

    theres a neat lil secret in his fight that if you use illusions you can sometimes make an image of the goblin princess, and if you get him to strike it then banish it right after he'll loose all will to fight! can even do this in the first phase and skip this one... but why would you want too when this is such a banger

    The first time I fought this boss i knew he was going to be tough... the stomping and roar at the start of the fight was epic. I died to him so many times I almost smashed my parents Gateway computer keyboard, but after like 50 attempts i finally downed him and it was so satisfying.

      I dont know if you're running it on an emulator or not, but In my lost old glory run I used the Unbreakable Path sword from the lost paladin in the swamp and the Ring of Singing Fire after the dream sequence in the flutewood forest to light the sword on fire and defeat the knight by just using the fast attack speed of the sword and the fire damage effect the ring gives to kill the knight. Im pretty sure you can equip both items as a wandering angel too
