Knights Of Braveland - Quickboom Campaign - Monk Character

Howdy Gamers

It's been a few months since I have found the time or motivation to play any games.

However here on the east coast of Scotland, we have been getting a lot of torrential rainstorms which often happens at this time of year. Today is a particularly dull and rainy day so I figured I would dive back into Knights Of Braveland ,a game I picked up back in February.

In this video, we are playing through the 4th campaign setting which sees us set off in pursuit of a goblin leader named Quickboom.

Knights Of Braveland is one of my favorite games of 2023 so far. Its a hack and slash beat em up where each campaign has different randomly generated situations which feel like a Dungeons & Dragons adventure.

In certain situations, we have to pick one of 4 cards to determine the outcome of the situation, this helps add to the replayability of each campaign.

In this case, we need to pick a card to determine whether or not we find treasure at the end of a rainbow.

I pick card number 3 and get lucky.

In this situation a merchant's caravan is stuck, the only option we have is to try and help the merchant push the caravan. Notice the 2 options that are unavailable to this character, if we were playing as the warrior or blacksmith we would have other options here.

This time I choose the second card.

Its a failure.....should have stuck with luck card number 3.

A strained back results in us losing 10% of our total health...

At the start of the campaign, I killed a hoard of goblins and got this old pistol as loot. The loot here is randomly generated again adding to the replayability of each campaign.

As we move through the campaign map we have the chance to encounter merchants.

I only have 61 coins so I decide to buy the Soldiers Hat which adds 70 hit points and gives my Old pistol a 10% damage bonus.

We need provisions to move from one part of the map to the next.I still have 7 provisions left which I felt would be enough to reach the boss.

This is the first campaign where I have encountered this blessing or curse system.

I pick card 2 again and end up getting the Punishment of Heaven curse.

Each map has various paths we can take to reach the boss,in this situation we only have 4 provisions left so we can't visit every situation in the campaign. I am curious to replay this one and buy more provisions to see what lies on each hexagram of the adventure.

For now I make my way along the bottom path and encounter some wolves and goblins.

I get to try out the gun here which works well against the wolves, one shot kills them instantly and sends them flying...how very satisfying!

Gif By me .. Boom...bye bye wolfy!

Here is where we see the "Punishment of Heaven" curse in action...as I am fighting the wolves and meteorite falls on my head and takes away 120hp... Luckily these meteors briefly show where they are going to fall and can be dodged,I just didn't see this one!

Gif by me - Oft that hurt!...Thanks for that God... :(

When the wolves and goblins are cleared we get the Power Gauntlet as loot.

The gauntlet has better damage than the old pistol but we need to get really close to use it.

This skull symbol marks the boss's camp...

The boss fight is fairly straight forward, this guy has no ranged attacks, he dual wields 2 blades which he upgrades twice during the battle.The first time he goes from regular swords to chainsaw blades...

Gif by me - Chainsaws on a sword...oh no...

When his health bar gets down to around 1/3rd he swaps his chain-blades for flaming blades.

Gif by me Flame on!

I manage to get a fantastic finisher with the Power Gauntlet, sneak behind him and uppercut his rear end resulting in a beautiful prismatic aura!

Gif by me - Take that you filth!

With the campaign completed, we get some loot and achievements.

We also unlock the next campaign , the next boss is an Orc Shaman named Chuck Chuck!

Stay tuned for more Knights of Braveland adventures real soon , Chuck Chucks days are numbered!
