Two CrownsThis is about Kingdom Two Crowns.
Destroying_The_Cave

Destroying The Cave

The cave[1] is the greed home base on each island. It is accessed through the cliff portal.

Destroying the cave secures that island and stops the greed spawning on it, even if there are still standing portals there.

Outside

Requirements for Entering

There should be a considerable way before going for the final attack on an island. The following are the last steps before engaging. Be sure to check their related articles for details.

Marching

Before paying for the bomb, it is advisable to destroy all small portals on the cliff side. And, if the cliff is too far from the town, it is better to build further walls or wait for a truce past blood moon to avoid encountering greed raids on the way.

Building the bomb triggers a cave assault where:

  • The Monarch (if in co-op, the closest one to the cliff) leads the march to the cave.
  • Up to three builders push the bomb towards the cliff. Template:Para details
  • Two squires or knights with their soldiers start following the Monarch. Template:Para details

Arriving with the bomb at the cliff portal, it won't spawn the regular few greedlings to counter the Monarchs' hostile presence; even if the portal is active. Nightly waves, however, keep their everyday routine.

If the Greed attacks the bomb and destroy it before it is lit, the offensive to the cave is dismantled. The explosion of the bomb, in this case, won't harm any friendly units. A new bomb can then be bought to restart the march.

Entering

Once in front of the cliff portal, the builders stop pushing the bomb. The Monarch must then spend five coins at the bomb to be able to enter the portal. The whole escort will follow along with the bomb. In cooperative mode, both players must enter together.

The state of the portal does not matter, including being destroyed.

The Monarch can exit anytime. This saves the escort but ends the assault and the bomb is lost.

Inside

Greed Nests

A greed nest being destroyed.

Inside the cave, there are a number of nests, which constantly spawn greedlings and can be destroyed much like small portals. As they are damaged they lose "legs", until they collapse. The number of greed nests depends on the island on which they're located.

Nests 1 2 3 4 5

The Hive

Greed-pool

Archers attacking greedlings from the spawing pool and the bomb in front of the hive, waiting for the ignition.

Near the end is the hive, the heart of the Cave. It does not attack.

Right behind it, at the very end, is a pool guarding it by spawning greedlings once the last nest falls.

Both cannot be directly attacked, instead, the bomb is set on them.

Destroying

Once the bomb reaches the Hive, it stops and its eyes glow.

The monarch must then spend 5 coins on it to light it, which causes :

  • The screen to shake.
  • The pool to unleash a last, much stronger wave of greedlings.
  • The builders to run for the exit.
  • The squires/knights to walk for the exit.
    This typically causes them to be hit all the way back to vagrants, unless the Monarch exits before or stays to help them.

Exiting

The Monarch has only a short time (15 to 30 seconds, depending on the island) to escape the cave.
It is best to recover full mount stamina before lighting the fuse, and doing so from the bomb's edge, but even then slower mounts may not make it.
In 2 player mode, if one Monarch exits both survive.

Reaching the exit in time causes premature explosion right at that moment, for fake tension.

After the explosion the surviving Monarch(s) appear in front of the cliff portal, along with the 3 builders, a random part of the escort in whatever state they were in at the time of the explosion, as well as any gems, hermits or the dog that were lost to the greed on that island.

A small sequence plays displaying various game stats, then gameplay resumes.

The cliff portal is now permanently destroyed and can not be entered again.
The remaining greeds (if any) retreat back into the nearest portal (or cliff portal if none), and no more ever spawn on the island.

If the Monarch(s) dies, the island remains nonetheless secured for its successor.
