Map Hazards
While exploring the various levels of the Clockworks, knights will encounter many dangers besides monsters. Most hazards can only be found in appropriately themed levels, but others like floor spikes can be found in almost all of them. Knights will take damage and sometimes even status effects by walking into certain hazards and should avoid them at all cost!
Breakable Blocks
Explosive Blocks
If knights stand too close to these blocks and hit them, they will take damage. Take them out with a gun. These boxes can also damage monsters, so use these to your advantage!
Timed Explosive Blocks
These explosive blocks go off after a set amount of time.
Respawning Hazards
Sometimes, blocks will be destroyed, but they will pop back up again. If a knight stands on the respawning block and a block respawns, the knight will take some damage.
Floor Spikes
Floor spikes are the most common hazard encountered by Knights and should be avoided by all cost. They inflict piercing damage and can often break a Knight's shield before they retract back into the ground.
Brambles
Thorns are mostly found on grassy levels and are in fixed positions. Thorns pose most of a threat when an enemy is knocked into the middle of a patch of them, in which case ranged attacks are needed to reach them. Monster drops have a bad habit of hiding in the middle of this hazard.
Poison Brambles
Poison thorns are exactly like regular thorns except they will give you the poison condition.
Fire Grates
Fire grates are only found on flame levels and, like floor spikes, is only dangerous for a short period of time. Getting hit by this hazard will ignite you with the fire condition.
Fire Pits
These can be found when traveling in the Firestorm Citadel. Unlike fire grates, fire pits are a constant hazard and should be avoided at all costs. They can be removed by throwing a globe of water on it, if available.
Spiked Wheels
These can also be found in the Firestorm Citadel. Spiked wheels have a powerful knockback capable of crushing knights and enemies alike.
Force Fields
Force fields may be crossed by players, but not monsters. Players may not use weapons to attack from behind the force field.
Buttons
There are two types of buttons. The first can be stepped on and will be pushed down permanently. The second requires a stone cat statue be put on it to keep it pushed down.
Switches
Switches need to be hit with a weapon or thrown item. Some switches can be permanently changed, and others will change every time they are hit. Switches may control gates or sometimes the direction of retraction for a row of spiked floor.
Gates
Some gates need to be opened using buttons. Others are locked and require a key.
Extra Energy Features
Also in the Clockworks are some added features that can be accessed by paying an additional energy fee.
Energy Gates
Energy Gates function and look similar to a Locked Gate, with the exception that they cost 3 Energy to open. When approaching a gate, a bubble will appear next to your character denoting the Energy cost. To open the gate, press the Action button, and then to confirm the exchange press the Action button again.
Behind Energy Gates usually lie a plethora of high-yield treasure boxes. However, they may also have a dangerous battle with multiple waves of monsters, or an alternate route through the level, to get to them.
Mecha Knights
Found in Deconstruction Zone levels, these friendly Mecha Knights require 5 energy for activation. When activated, they will help kill enemy monsters until either they themselves die or you finish the level.
