KNIGHT, YOU FIGHT WITH THE STRENGTH OF MANY MEN

KNIGHT, I AM ARTHUR, KING OF THE BRITONS

KNIGHT, I SEEK THE FINEST AND THE BRAVEST KNIGHTS IN THE LAND TO JOIN ME IN MY COURT AT CAMELOT

KNIGHT, YOU HAVE PROVED YOURSELF WORTHY, WILL YOU JOIN ME?

KNIGHT, YOU MAKE ME SAD. SO BE IT.

CROSS BRIDGE

KNIGHT, WHAT?

KNIGHT, I HAVE NO QUARREL WITH YOU GOOD SIR KNIGHT, BUT I MUST CROSS THIS BRIDGE

KNIGHT, I COMMAND YOU AS KING OF THE BRITONS TO STAND ASIDE

ATTACK BLACK KNIGHT WITH EXCALIBUR

[You definitely have to do this more than once. You can repeat the command with “G” until the knight loses a body part.]

KNIGHT, NOW STAND ASIDE, WORTHY ADVERSARY

KNIGHT, A SCRATCH, YOUR ARM’S OFF

KNIGHT, WHAT’S THAT THEN?

KNIGHT, YOU LIAR

ATTACK BLACK KNIGHT WITH EXCALIBUR

[You definitely have to do this more than once. You can repeat the command with “G” until the knight loses a body part.]

KNIGHT, VICTORY IS MINE

KNIGHT, WHAT?

KNIGHT, YOU ARE INDEED BRAVE SIR KNIGHT, BUT THE FIGHT IS MINE

KNIGHT, LOOK STUPID, YOU’VE GOT NO ARMS LEFT

KNIGHT, LOOK AT THOSE!

KNIGHT, STOP THAT

KNIGHT, LOOK I’LL HAVE YOUR LEG

ATTACK BLACK KNIGHT WITH EXCALIBUR

[You definitely have to do this more than once. You can repeat the command with “G” until the knight loses a body part.]

KNIGHT, WHAT’RE YA GONNA DO, BLEED ON ME?

KNIGHT, YOU’RE A LOON

ATTACK BLACK KNIGHT WITH EXCALIBUR

[You definitely have to do this more than once. You can repeat the command with “G” until the knight loses a body part, or you are killed. If you are killed the game ends in your death. If the knight loses a body part he no longer prevents you from crossing the bridge. At this point you can cross the bridge, or keep attacking the helpless Black Knight until he dies.]
