King Arthur: Legend Rise – Content Guide

Even before its official release, King Arthur: Legends Rise has already captured attention with its impressive variety of content. The game offers an expansive array of dungeons, formidable bosses, and intricate mechanics. Considering that it’s still in early access, with a global release set for November 27th, there’s an air of excitement about the additional features and content that may be introduced to this already richly crafted Arthurian world.

In this King Arthur: Legend Rise – Content Guide, we’ll explore the game’s currently available content, organized by in-game sections. We’ll provide insights into the bosses you’ll encounter and share valuable strategies to help you succeed in these challenging battles.

As new players enter the game, their first experience will be the Story Mode, which serves as a tutorial and an introduction to the mechanics, heroes’ abilities, and overarching narrative. In the early stages, Story Mode is the primary focus for progression and the main use of stamina. Players will face wave after wave of increasingly challenging enemies, necessitating consistent champion levelling and gear upgrades.

The game does an excellent job of guiding players through its content, progressively unlocking new features as they advance. Currently, Story Mode offers three difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, and Hell. Even in the late game, you may find yourself revisiting earlier stages to farm specific resources needed to enhance your heroes.

Parallel to Story Mode, Adventure Mode provides players with the chance to explore open maps filled with references to Arthurian legends. Spanning ten distinct locations, this mode combines combat with puzzle-solving and resource-gathering.

Progressing through Adventure Mode often requires using champions with specific traits. Some puzzles demand champions from particular classes or even specific characters, adding a layer of strategy to the exploration. This mode is highly engaging and offers a refreshing break from standard battles.

The Restricted Areas section is where players will find traditional dungeons to farm gear and resources for levelling champions. These dungeons are divided into six main categories:

• Power-Up Dungeons – Farm materials to enhance champions and relics.
• Equipment Dungeons – Collect gear for your champions.
• Clan Raids – Work with clanmates to defeat weekly bosses.
• Forbidden Dungeon – Climb a 60-level tower for rewards that reset periodically.
• Favour Dungeons – Farm statues to awaken champions.
• Sealed Temples – Gather talismans and tomes to upgrade champions’ and relics’ skills.

Let’s dive into each category and discuss the challenges and bosses that await.

This section includes four dungeons, each featuring a unique boss guarding valuable resources needed for champion and relic enhancement:

• Plain of Beast

  The boss here, Penveid, is a shielded boar requiring champions with multi-hit abilities to break its defences. The game conveniently provides Tristan (Storm Relic) for free, making him a top choice for this dungeon due to his multi-hit attacks, attack speed aura, and attack speed debuff. Pair him with Morgan (fire relic) for her gauge-reducing abilities, and bring a healer and a strong single-target damage dealer for efficient farming.

• Burning Land

  Facing Gorgos, a flaming demon, will grant you gold and EXP potions. This boss heavily relies on DoT (damage-over-time) mechanics, punishing players carrying too many debuffs. Djerit, a reliable uncommon champion, excels at debuff removal and counters Gorgos effectively. Offensively, Anguish, obtained on your 13th gameplay day, is perfect for applying DoTs and defeating Gorgos with his own weapon of choice.

• Frozen Plan

  The icy Aldri drops materials for enhancing relics and star seeds for advancements. This boss periodically falls asleep, healing significantly upon awakening. To counter this, champions with recovery disruption are crucial. Morgan, with the right build, shines once again in this fight, but also the rare Accolon (storm relic) it’s a more than efficient option.

• Shrine of the Storms

  Battling Tarrasque provides awakening stones for relics. This fight demands precise attack gauge control, with Tristan, Morgan, and champions like Ban and Clementine being excellent choices for their synergy and utility.

In these dragon-themed dungeons, players can farm gear divided into offensive, defensive, and keepsake sets:

• Nest of Yskalhaig

  Farm offensive sets (Attack, Critical, Speed) by defeating this fearsome dragon. Champions like Sigrun, a legendary unit with boss-marking abilities, excel here.

• Origin of Apolleia

  This dungeon provides defensive sets (Defense, Life, Drain). Success requires removing abnormal statuses and providing immunity to your team. Baudwin, a versatile rare champion, is highly effective in this dungeon.

• Fortress of Arsellus

  For keepsake sets (Corrosion, Immortal, Strife), you’ll face the two-headed dragon Arsellus. Key strategies include maintaining immunity, controlling the boss’s attack gauge, and disrupting its recovery.

Clan Raids challenge you to team up with clanmates to tackle enhanced versions of the Power-Up Dungeon bosses. These weekly bosses require diverse champion rosters and advanced strategies, making them a long-term goal for players looking to support their clans effectively.

This 60-floor tower presents increasingly difficult waves of enemies and bosses. Players receive five daily tickets to either climb new floors or auto-clear the last completed stage for rewards. Valuable resources, such as pedestals, make this dungeon a must-visit daily.

Favour Dungeons are tied to the six factions in King Arthur. Each faction’s dungeon opens on specific days and requires champions from the same faction to progress. These dungeons provide the resources needed to awaken your champions. Strategic planning of your champion roster within each faction is critical for long-term success.

Sealed Temples offer materials for levelling both champions’ and relics’ skills. Each temple has its own unique boss:

• Cernunnos, Master of Death
  Debuff removal and protection are vital for surviving this boss’s onslaught. Champions with shielding or healing abilities will be your best allies.
• Crom Cruach, Master of the Apocalypse
  This boss incorporates DoT mechanics while consuming three of your champions at the start of the fight. Bringing a balanced team with resilient DPS and utility champions is key.

King Arthur: Legend Rise delivers a wealth of content and diverse mechanics designed to keep players engaged. From strategic dungeon battles to intricate puzzles and resource farming, the game offers something for everyone. As you perfect your champion compositions and push through harder stages, the depth and challenge of this Arthurian world will keep you coming back for more.
