| Knights of Doom | comment |
Knights of Doom is the 56th entry of the Fighting Fantasy series of gamebooks, written by Jonathan Green.For centuries, the brave Templar Knights of Telak Sword-bearer have protected the people of Ruddlestone from evil and chaos, destroying demonic threats from the nearby lands, and you are one of the most skilled warriors of their ranks. One day, King Rannor of Ruddlestone announced his terrible, debilitating illness, which has no natural origin: the fallen Templar of Telak Belgaroth, the Usurping Serpent, has returned from the dead along with his dreaded Chaos Knights, and from his ghost-ridden fortress of Caer-Skaal deep south he plans to invade Ruddlestone in the name of Chaos. It's up to the most skilled member of the Templars (that would mean you) to venture south, slip through the enemy lines and find a way to stop Belgaroth before his demonic hordes tear Ruddlestone apart.Knights of Doom more or less plays like Green's previous adventure of Spellbreaker, though this time with a style which is remarkably similar to Hand's Dead of Night, (you have to pick up a series of both martial and arcane skills that may help you on your quest) but along with Jackson and Livingstone's narrow, item-grabbing path of progression which makes the game noticeably harder, forcing the player to follow a specific route to win and reducing the chances of exploring around. It also has a score of Honour and a Time score as your mission is timed.So yeah, essentially is Dead of Night meets Spellbreaker, or Dead of Night written by Green. | |

Inverse Law of Sharpness and Accuracy | |
| Knights of Doom / int_19a0713d | comment |
Inverse Law of Sharpness and Accuracy: Inverted. If you have Havgar's Mace or bought a warhammer at the market in Havalok, these weapons are both inaccurate compared to anything else you might find so you take a combat penalty. But both these blunt weapons do 3 points of damage instead of the normal 2. | |

That One Boss | |
| Knights of Doom / int_2ea22847 | comment |
That One Boss: The gamebook is full of many battles against unforgivingly tough foes. Most notably the Knight of the Flame and the Beast Man champion, with 12 in skill, 12+ in stamina, who deal 3 points of damage instead of 2; the Chaos Champion with 12 in skill and 12 in stamina, who cause a malus if not fought on horseback and with a spear, and can unhorse you to weaken you further; the Knights of Doom with 10 in skill and 12 in stamina, who kill you outright if faced head on, can deal greater damage and get Damage Reduction. And last but not least, Belgaroth himself, who makes them all look like jokes. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable: In order to win the book, you need Aelfgar. To find Aelfgar, you need to find three verses of a song. One of those verses appears in an illustration, written in runes. To decode those runes without applying cryptographic frequency analysis, you need to find a statue with an engraving. That's all very well, but you can only find the statue by failing a skill roll. Oh, and if you choose the Ride skill, that roll is an automatic pass. | |

Our Liches Are Different: In probably the lamest example ever, "Lich" here is a bug-eyed, freshly resurrected corpse of some hanged man.

SNK Boss | |
| Knights of Doom / int_9e2f6378 | comment |
SNK Boss: Belgaroth himself is a nightmare to fight, second only to Razaak from Crypt of the Sorcerer for the title of hardest Final Boss of the entire franchise. As soon as you enter his throne room, you need many special items and win difficult tests just to reach him alive. He has max stats with 12 in skill and 17 in stamina, Damage Reduction, deals 3 point of damage and drains your Karma Meter when striking you, which can cause a Non Standard Game Over in which you become his slave... And when weakened enough, he runs away like the Dirty Coward he is, forcing you to survive yet another series of ordeals to fly after him when he escapes, and to successfully throw the Infinity+1 Spear at him... Suffice to say it is REALLY satisfying to finally take him down. | |

Armor of Invincibility | |
| Knights of Doom / int_a6e375d4 | comment |
Armor of Invincibility: Your templar can choose or purchase a breastplate which stops 1 point of damage (though you get a combat penalty with this piece of armor) and you can also be given a magical chainmail armor by Torrin Silverblade which stops another. With these items together, only a few opponents in the book can cause any damage to you and with these there's always the option of using Luck in battle to deal with that. | |

Recycled Premise | |
| Knights of Doom / int_a6fa41b | comment |
Recycled Premise: The overall plot, progression, encounters and settings are nearly identical to Green's previous work Spellbreaker, though now with an even more linear path. They both start with the hero, in the starting location, facing a monster sent by the Big Bad. | |

Lone Wolf Boss | |
| Knights of Doom / int_b3d72fde | comment |
Lone Wolf Boss: While Cadaver the Necromage was raised from the grave by Belgaroth's blight, he does not seem to answer to the Dread Lord, and raises an army of undeads to attack nearby towns. In any other gamebook, he would made a quite standard Big Bad, but here he merely provides a sidequest and a Boss Fight (admittedly pretty tough). | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: You're faced by the demonic master of the clerics of Lein, the Darkthorn... and you can instantly end its threat by pouring some weed-killing potion (which you can buy from a random alchemist) over him, causing him to wither and die in a flash. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Knights of Doom / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: If you don't have the Banish Spirit skill, you will be killed at some point by the Assassin's Dagger. Fortunately, it's possible to obtain a magic potion that has the same effect (albeit with limited uses). Additionally like many other Jonathan Green books, your hero starts off with a magic weapon for harming monsters immune to normal ones - compare this to books by other writers where a fight against an immune monster is a death sentence. | |

Hopeless Boss Fight | |
| Knights of Doom / int_fc07d409 | comment |
Hopeless Boss Fight: At one point, you can face the Iron Golem of the forces of Chaos besieging a town. While at first it looks manageable skill 10 and stamina 26, you soon find out that a series of factors (heavy armor reducing damage to 1, heavy fists dealing 3 damage per hit, heavy skill malus) makes this battle unwinnable or at least tediously long if you lack a certain item that you may need later in the endgame. | |

Brick Joke: An unfunny example with the Assassin's Dagger, which, if you lack the methods of putting it down permanently, will come back to haunt you, usually from absolutely nowhere and at the worse possible time. Like sinking itself in your kidneys as you're busy dueling Belgaroth. | |
