Apollos was once a loyal servant of the King, but he was betrayed, and dark powers remade his flesh into the twisted horror that is the Dread Knight. This armored fiend attacks swiftly with either devastating slashes from his Great Sword (the Dread Knight's inhuman strength is such that he wields this heavy two-handed blade effortlessly with one mailed fist) or blows from his mutated left arm, which can stretch out, in an elastic fashion, to reach distant opponents. Also beware his unearthly scream, for anyone that hears it will be instantly frozen with fear--needless to say, being unable to move when he comes bearing down upon you spells certain doom (use an anti-paralysis item quickly.) The Dread Knight is always accompanied by one or two Earth Knights--if at all possible, an adventurer would be wise to dispatch these minions with great haste so as not to have to deal with both them and their lethal commander simultaneously (however, if you choose to focus on the Dread Knight first, the Earth Knights will disappear upon his defeat.) Should you succeed in ending the Dread Knight's suffering, the grateful warrior will give his thanks and bequeath his mighty blade to you as a reward for your efforts.</p> <br> <br> <p align=center><b><font size=+1 color=gold>Materials:</font></b> <br> Newsprint, white glue, plastic, gloss nail polish, and acrylic paint.</p> <p align=center><b><font size=+1 color=gold>Dimensions:</b></font> <br> 6.1 cm/2.4 in. x 6.4 cm/2.5 in. <i>(widest point x highest point)</i> </p> <p align=center><b><font size=+1 color=gold>Time:</font></b> <br> Two days: June 22 and 23, 2012</p> <hr width=650 size=3 color=553f03> <p align=center><img src="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/kramwartap/MAP2/ST_dread_knight.jpg" border=3."></p> <hr width=650 size=3 color=553f03> <p align=center><img src="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/kramwartap/MAP2/ST_dread_knight_fab.jpg" border=3"></p> <hr width=650 size=3 color=553f03> <p align=center><img src="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/kramwartap/MAP2/groupshot_062412.jpg" border=3"></p> <hr width=650 size=3 color=553f03> <br> <center><img src="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/kramwartap/MAP2/ST_dread_knight_bestiary.jpg" align=center alt="In-game Dread Knight Creature Book entry." border=3></center> <br> <hr width=650 size=3 color=553f03> <br> <center><font size=+1 color=gold>REFERENCES:<br></font></center> <br> <p align=left> <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.gamefaqs.com">GameFAQs.com</a> various <i>Shadow Tower</i> guides/walkthroughs.</li> </li> <br> <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://hg101.kontek.net/kingsfield/kf05.htm">Hardcore Gaming 101</a> <i>King's Field</i> article.</li> </li> <br> <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.kings-field.com/st/creatures1.html">Kings Field.com</a> <i>Shadow Tower</i> bestiary.</li> <br> </p> <br> <br> <p align=center><a href="misc_videogame_artwork.html"><font size="5">&laquo; Return To My Miscellaneous Video Game Fan Art Gallery</a></font> <br> <br> <font size="2"><i>This is a nonprofit web site. <br> Any and all copyrighted imagery, terminology, etc., depicted here belongs to its respective holders/owners, namely From Software. <br> The repeating background pattern is the cover artwork from the Shadow Tower game's package.</i></p> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
