Chapter 7-1: The Best Defense

Knack Guide Video 7-1

Head forward and take out the boomerang goblin then head to the right stairs. Gather the relics here and up jump the gap. Up ahead are some mines: trigger one and jump back (let them explode). Go kill the two goblins after that and trip some more mines.

Head forward and beat up the goblin then head into the fenced area and you'll face three boomerang goblins and a bigger goblin with a gun. Use a Blast here to even the odds. With the gun the goblin will shoot three times in a row, so attack after the third shot. Next break all the boxes up against the right-hand wall to find...

HIDDEN CHEST #32:

When you get to the area with all the boxes, destroy the enemies then destroy the boxes on the right hand side to find this hidden room and chest.

Head forward for a scene. You'll be chased now, so run away and jump over any boxes you come to. Once you leave the area, head down and kill the boomerang and gun goblins. Collect the relics then bash in the door on the left for...

HIDDEN CHEST #33:

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

After the first chase sequence, defeat the two goblins you find and then bash in the door on the left to find this chest room.

Head forward and the goblin robot will be in the background now. Wait for it to bring its saw down and move to the left, then quickly jump over it and jump over the stacked boxes. Continue on and beat up the three boomerang goblins (you can often kill them before they throw) then drop down.

This will start another chase sequence. Keep running to the right and punch the rock walls when you get to them. Jump over the smaller rocks. Don't try and be clever when the falling rock floor starts: just run past it (the robot will jump over these). You'll run into a gun goblin on the way, so quicly take him out and keep going to see what happens to the goblin robot.

Head up now and quickly beat up the two boomerang goblins and the gun goblin. You can often get them before they attack. Further in is two more gun goblins and boomerang goblins. Use a Blast here if you wish and keep going. Collect the relics and head forward (back to the house) for a scene.

Head forward and beat up the gun goblin. Further in are four more of these guys, so be careful and take them out, then gather up the relics. Head further down to enter an arena with two orcs wielding battle axes. These guys are tough but slow. They do one of three things: one single swipe, two swipes in a row (there is a pause between swipes) and an overhead smash causing an area attack. It's best to jump attack during their swipe attack and follow up with two hits after that.

Once you take them out three gun goblins show up from the right. Blast them if you wish (or take them out normally) and two more axe orcs will come in. You can take one out as he drops, leaving only one to deal with normally.

Once you beat him the second part of the chapter will start.
