Kill List

Who said living in a fantasy land is all gold pieces and mead?

Beheaded

■ smash a rival knight to their knees and, with the right timing, you can neatly sever their head from their shoulders and watch it bounce playfully across the screen. it’s oh so satisfying, and perfect when it comes to bragging rights over your mates in versus battles. Hanged

■ The ratmen of the great Forest are Moonstone’s canon fodder, and only the greenest knights will come a cropper facing them. However, they’ve got a cheeky sneak attack where they leap up into a tree and hang players in an impromptu noose. Burned

■ some Moonstone players genuinely believed the dragon was unbeatable, and with takedowns like eating quest knights whole or simply incinerating them it’s easy to see why. Facing him without a Talisman of The Wyrm? ouch, don’t say you weren’t warned. Gobbled

■ The fierce baloks of the northern Wastes are huge, shaggy bigfoot-alikes with devastating right hooks and an instadeath jump stomp. our ‘favourite’ death from these beasts, though, is being shaken into unconsciousness before having our heads bitten clean off.

Drowned

■ The skull-faced mudmen are arguably Moonstone’s most iconic enemy. The discordant shriek from the organ as they explode from the wetlands to drag any unsuspecting knights down into the mire for a horrific instakill is traumatic, to say the least.

Splattered

■ These supersized trolls, complete with knight-sized clubs, combine devastating range with huge power. Their speciality execution is to gib quest knights into a thousand pieces via an unblockable overhead swipe. dodging this dangerous attack is challenging.

Frazzled

■ The blue banshee is the ultimate guardian of the Moonstone, and the final obstacle between your quest knight and immortality. she’s keen to lash knights with her kinky whip, but her best takedown is electrocuting players with 50,000 volts of pure pain.

Impaled

■ Moonstone features a couple of impalings, but our favourite comes courtesy of trogg warbeasts, vicious lions with horns that roam the misty moors. if you’re low on health, they can spike you – your knight’s corpse spasmodically twitching as it slides down said horn.
