How to play
Creep up behind the current monarch and hold the space bar to prepare your strike. You must release it to finish the job, but if the king turns around while you are charging, you will be caught. Once you successfully take the throne, stay vigilant. Watch for movements behind you and react quickly to catch any potential assassins before they can end your reign.
Tips for beginners
- Watch the king's eyes and head tilt to predict when he is about to look back.
- It is safer to cancel a strike early than to risk being seen with a weapon drawn.
- When sitting on the throne, look back frequently to keep would-be killers at bay.
- Listen to the audio cues, as they can often signal a change in the king's behavior.
