[@burntnutz69]

Okay, so my cousin and brother always played this (I was a pussy so I was afraid of the troll in the abandoned mill) and we had two knights each Becuase we had dlc. I was blue and green, my cousin was red and pink (he's a boy) and my brother (who's 16 now) was the blacksmith and orange knight. My brother kicked ASS.

This a blast of nostalgia. I remember playing the original game years and years back and now I'm here, 2023, doing the same thing. This level took us so long and we haven't even beat it today, but we have back then. This took us longer then SO many bosses and I hope to pass it with the help of the Green knight, Red knight, Pink knight, and the Orange knight. Good times.

The violin at 0:40 is sooo nice! I really want that part extended, and the violin brought forward a bit!

Everyone: "talks about lava world" Cyclops fortress: "sad cyclops noises"

Well cause Cyclop's fortress is in Lava world. Heck you can look outside in some of the windows and see the same lava river. And also cause Lava World is a massive difficulty spike for casual players.

I will never understand how people find the dragon puppet boss difficult, in my opinion it's one of the easiest in the game, the attacks really aren't that difficult to dodge, even if you do get hit it dosent even do that much damage

[@introvert_weeb7901]

I beat using melee only My agility wasn’t high too use a bow and my magic didn’t go far enough since I was playing gray knight

[@somerandombub]

The fire also does crazy amount of damage if you get knocked down by a boulder before it hits you, if I remember correctly.

[@Dstruktr]

All you have to do is juggle into him. That simple lol

[@juand.cardona2208]

48 damage on any attack, which is around 40% health. That and the fact that your only options are bow or try to juggle it and it's a disaster

I love how there's just universal PTSD regarding Lava World among the Castle Crashers community

[@JohnLucPicard98]

Level just never ends lmao

[@crovisdiaz7983]

This level is pained and gives ptsd flashbacks to people to play. Also here’s a little to sprinkle onto my hatred of this level. I used to own the original castle crashes for my PS3 and I got stuck on this level. IT TOOK ME 3 WEEKS TO COMPLETE IT ( I was also being Retarded and lonely and did it solo ) and when I finally did it, I went on to stop playing it because of that level. I then got a Xbox 1 and I got castle crashers remastered. When I reached the level, i remembered the flashbacks rolled in, those endless rages of PAIN. Thank the behemoth for making it a Bit easier, but I still hated it. This story is literally useless to be here but fuck It. ( I am not going to like the comments )
