Risen by the Necromancer to carry out his final curse upon the world, journey from the grave to the peak of the tallest mountain. Deliver the Death Curse to an ancient altar and bring about the end of the World! With Undead power, woe to any foe that stands in your way to complete your quest. It's what you were made for, and definitely the only thing you can do.

Gameplay Hints

You are the pinnacle of Undead power. At Lvl 99, you literally cannot be defeated, and any enemy will be unable to withstand even a single blow from your blade. But for those looking to break the mold they were risen into, simply hold back your bloodlust and see how the villagers respond. Exploring the world may reveal there's more to do than bring it to its end...

But be aware! If you slay any people, they will only ever see you as a monster.

Explicit Spoilers

While you are welcome to follow the orders you are given and destroy everything; you may also choose to just not do that too.

If you do not attack the guards, they will realize you are not a threat and you may then talk with any villagers you encounter. Exploring the world will reveal many opportunity to find purpose beyond be a mindless monster. Make friends, go fish, or just sit down and relax under a tree.

However, if you attack any characters at all, the world will see you for the murderous monster you are and any characters you encounter will only flee in terror.

We still won't tell you exactly where to find all that you can do (we have to leave some things to discover), but what you do find will add to your Knightly title. Feel free to comment below with what you discover and the titles you accrue! Perhaps with enough to fight for, you could even find a new way to win the game...

Thank you for player our game!!!
