trivia

If the player uses a Sword attack that involves targeting the leftmost enemy, and that target is Cruel King, it will always hit him due to the delay between using Call for Help and the enemy being summoned. Fighting him multiple times in Nirvana will result in his dialogue being different each time he is interacted with.

trivia

From Cruel King's dialogue before his fight against the player, he constantly hears a voice tormenting him inside his head. Due to Griefer also having voices from wielding the Venomshank, it is possible that said voices come from the Ice Dagger. These voices seem to linger, even after being killed by the player. He mentions how he can still hear the voices when the player refights him in Cold Nirvana.

trivia

Cruel King is the monarch of the Blackrock Kingdom. Throughout his dialogue, he appears to be only acting to save his kingdom and is dedicated and loyal to protecting the inhabitants of his kingdom. He fights solely to protect the home of his people and even holds the information of Blackrock's fall to maintain peace at the cost of his "restless nights". The perspective that the player intends to "tear down" his kingdom is influenced by the manipulative voices of the dagger. While it is not clear his kingdom will not be torn down, there is no mention of the player directly causing its fall by taking the dagger beside Cruel King, who has become an unreliable character due to "the voices" manipulating him. Cruel King seems to be a reasonable and just ruler, even before the Ice Dagger's influence. On his fifth refight, a more sane Cruel King apologizes for being immature and not trying to talk things out despite the grasp the voices had on his mind and the worries about his kingdom's well-being.

backstory

He took the Ice Dagger (which was previously held within Blackrock Castle)[2] without authorization and held it before being defeated by the player. After Chapter 1, he can be re-matched in Cold Nirvana, with the player being able to obtain an ally card of him after defeating him five times. He is merciless in protecting his kingdom and determined that with the power of the Ice Dagger, he will save his people from their impending doom, as the voices have told him his kingdom will fall should the dagger be in the player's possession since he mentions "Blackrock Kingdom will cease to exist in your future." After defeating him several times in Cold Nirvana, he becomes benevolent to the player, lending them to train should they visit him again, either realizing that the voices had lied or accepting the believed fate of his kingdom and realizing that the player had not intentionally caused it and only took the dagger to pursue a noble cause.
