QUOTE(Golden Knight RPG: Secret Characters)
I've been bugged constantly about this, so I've decided to write a strategy about how to get the secret characters in my map Golden Knight RPG.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: StarCraft Brood War, Golden Knight RPG, decent players, exceptional micro skills.
The three secret characters are stronger versions of the Golden Knight, Beserker Knight, and the Shortbow Archer classes, and depending on the initial class you have chosen, you may or may not have any functional spells. These characters require such specific detail on how to aquire them that most of the time they haven't been found. Unlike the other classes, the secret units cannot be revived, as dying would respawn your initial hero back into Galura. By the way, only THREE people can get a secret character per game.
After choosing your class at the start of the map, go ahead and enter the castle (Command Center) and talk to the king. Do NOT talk to the queen, as the queen disables the ability to obtain the secret characters. It is highly recommended that you listen to the king's wise words, as he tells you how all the main town functions work. Once the king finishes speaking, obtain the Treasure Barrel to the right if you haven't done so, then enter onto the main field.
When fighting your way through the horses, you should always have a Paladin take damage. Never fight horses alone or when there are more than three horses attacking you, as you may die early on. Remember to upgrade everytime you get probes, as health and attack are very important throughout the beginning.
Once you have reached the Horse Den (the location of the Dragon Horse), you may want to fight off every horse and heal everyone to full strength, as the Dragon Horse is fatal alone to most classes. Unless you have a Longbow Archer's lockdown, a Paladin, or a White Prophet, it is high recommended you lure the Dragon Horse back to town with a high vitality and fast unit.
After defeating the Dragon Horse and BEFORE talking to the king, find the igloo doodad northeast of Galura. Touch the southwest portion of the igloo doodad, and you should teleport into a hidden area (a cave behind the igloo). Inside, you should find a Mysterious Item. Simply make contact with it, then head back to the end of the Hiorse Den. Touch the area where the Treasure Barrel is (assuming you did not destroy it, but if you did, it's the northwestern part of the Horse Den), and a Mysterious Man should reveal himself. If you receive a message from him, you are almost qualified to obtain a secret character.
Talk to the king and a massive horse retaliation should occur. Simply protect the Castle from five waves of ten horses and kill all remaining horses before talking to the king. The king will then hand you your reward and you may continue into the Cobra Catacombs that opens in the Horse Den. Cobras are best dealt with the Knights, and unlike horses, cobras sill follow your unit if you attempt to escape.
At the cobra lake, a Lake monster should spawn, and you must lure it to land. The lake monster will then spawn into a superpowerful optional boss that may be impossible to defeat until you have enough attack to penetrate its semmingly invincible carparace and impossible high attack, along with its godly attack. If, however, you manage to defeat this vicious monster and do all of the above, you now qualify for a secret character. Head over to the bottom of the cobra lake behind the trees and you should teleport to the secret character selection area. Use the lurker to select the secret character of choice, and nw you have officially aquired a secret character.
PROS:
-Stronger Unit
-Early Maximum Health
-Higher Maximum Health
-Researched Upgades
CONS:
-Choosing different race/class changes upgrade pattern.
-One Life
-Possible Faulty Spells
-Possibility of pissing off you buddies for choosing their favorite class/unit, which, ultimately, may lead into a backstab or leaving of the game.
-Obtaining a secret character without telling your buddies may result in extreme flaming and/or backstabs and leaving of game.
*If anyone does something that does threaten your intentions of having fun/beating the map, simply feedback their dark archon at the top left to ban them from the game.
Feedback wanted.
