OK guys, so I am relatively new to chess. That being said- why on earth would I not be able to kill a knight when it gets on my side of the board? It was extremely early in the game but I couldnt kill it with my pawn, my queen, or any other piece. Is that just a rule I don't understand or something? Or was he hacking?... (Note: my king wasn't in check.) Thanks so much!! :)
A Knight's main purpose is to guard the Wooden Thing. They are seen sleeping near it along with some Clockwork Bishops and a Clockwork Rook. When a mob or the player gets close, the Knight will stand up and stare at the creature, and if the creature gets close enough, the Knight will do a war cry and charge at it, using its springy neck to headbutt when it gets close. The Knight will then attempt to kite. If the knight is followed, it will usually try to headbutt once more, then it will do its war cry again. The Knight cannot be stun-locked and does not respawn.
Don’t Kill the Knight
Unlike other Chess Pieces, there is nothing spectacular in a Clockwork Knight's abilities and it is overall the easiest one to defeat, the easiest way to kill Knights is by kiting them. When in groups, it is recommended to separate one from the rest of the group, killing it, then separating another. As they usually do their battle cry before attempting to attack again, players may find it effective to attack a Knight while it is doing this, then backing away as soon as it tries to headbutt the player.
Befriending at least 5 Pigs can easily kill all the Knights and other Clockwork Monsters around the Wooden Thing. Alternatively, the attacks of the Clockwork Rook will damage them. With a bit of timing and luck, a Rook can be used to destroy the other Clockwork Monsters. When trying to kill a Knight for its Gears, a death by fire will cause it to drop Ashes.
Below is the number of hits it takes with each weapon to kill Clockwork Knights when playing with characters with a default damage modifier. The Weather Pain is not included due to the random nature of its projectile.

A Damaged Knight is a pale, battered knight covered in Nightmare Fuel. It has same base stats as the Clockwork Knight and drops 1 Gears, plus has a chance to also drop Nightmare Fuel and/or Thulecite Fragments. It occurs naturally in the Ruins, but also has a chance to spawn from Broken Clockworks when they are destroyed.

Let's get one essential piece of lore out of the way. Batman, in his classical conception, does not kill people. That's his thing. He's a puncher, not a shooter. It's an essential part of his character, and one that's easy to respect in comics, movies, TV shows and the like. You just have to show people crawling out wreckages, make liberal use of knockout gas and voila. It's a little bit harder in a video game, and much harder in an open world video game: no matter what rules you've set up in your game world, gamers will set out to break them. Especially if those rules concern who they can and can't kill. It's gone fine in the previous two games, Arkham Asylum and Arkham City (Arkham Origins was also a thing, I suppose). But Batman: Arkham Knight introduces one major wild card into the equation, one that makes it very difficulty for the game mechanics to mask the essential lethality of what's happening here: the Batmobile. As the saying goes, you can give a gamer a tank, but you can't ask them to refrain from killing people with it.
Eurogamer has a great video out detailing some of the incredibly fine lines being walked/ discarded with the Batmobile. To the game's credit, it goes out of its way to try to maintain the illusion that Batman doesn't kill people. Sure, your tank has a big, explosive cannon on it, but the game makes ultra clear that all the tanks you fire it are drones, essentially putting a big sign over the combat that says: "Nobody here to kill in this exploding vehicle, don't worry!" Even more hilariously, the game makes it impossible to run over people, at least when they're standing up. Instead, the Batmobile delivers a massive electrical shock when it gets in striking distance of an NPC, sending said NPC flying in the opposite direction and.... not dying? After slamming into a wall with a couple thousand volts coursing through their system?
Batman, as we all know, has sworn an oath not to kill people. But what you don't know can't hurt you, apparently, as the world's greatest detective seems to not understand basic concepts like the fact that people aren't indestructible robots. We can't all afford state of the art pectoral armour like you, Bruce!
According to the Dark Knight, slamming into people at top speed in a suped up military tank might kill them, but slamming into people at top speed in a suped up military tank that electrocutes them first is somehow okay.
This enemy deals a lot of damage with each attack, so he could easily kill one of your characters using a counterattack. The later in the game you face him, the more time you'll have to increase your unit's stats and skills.
Once defeated, the Death Knight drops a particular item called the Dark Seal. This seal allows male characters to become a Dark Mage or Dark Bishop. If you want the item but not to fight, then simply use the Steal Skill to snatch the Dark Seal out of the Death Knight hands.
Lysithea is perfect if you plan to defeat this boss with her anti-cavalry spell, Dark Spikes. She is a highly offensive unit and will be able to perform the deed easily if you have managed to raise her Reason Skill to a B Rank. To be able to use the spell, you'll have to recruit her before Chapter 4 if you chose the Blue Lions or Black Eagles Houses. Alternatively, Hubert (from the Black Eagles) can also learn this spell by having an A-Rank in Reason.
A Knightkneeler ability (obtainable by having a C Rank in the Lance Skill) of 15 Mt or higher is one of the best options to defeat Riding Units (like the Death Knight) in one hit.
So if you want to stand a chance against this enemy, choose a character with a great growth rate in the Lance Skill and raise it as much as possible. It's a good strategy to combine the offensive gambits with the Knightkneeler Combat Art, assigning an offensive battalion to the character with this ability.
Alfred notifies Batman that two League Assassins have been spotted ontop of a building, fighting. After investigating, Batman follows a blood trail, leading to the Elliot Memorial Hospital, leading him to the loyal League Assassins. After defeating them, Batman powers up the Hospital to gain access through the elevator. He encounters a locked door with switches beside them. After pressing the switches in the correct order, Batman gains access to the Lazarus Chamber, and encounters a zombie-like Ra's al Ghul, sitting on a throne-like seat, with Lazarus streams flowing through his blood, according to Batman, are the only things keeping him alive. Two assassins hold blades at Batman's throat, about to kill him, but are stopped by another assassin, who explains to Batman that he has no choice but to heal the Demon's Head. If the stalemate continues, Gotham will be destroyed.
After locating the Lazarus Pit, Batman, about to take some of the fluid, is ambushed by Rebel Assassins. After defeating them, he is to come face to face with Nyssa Raatko, the other daughter of Ra's Al Ghul. Before detonating the pit, Nyssa steals Bruce's detonator, and explains to him that her father, or what's left of him, needs to be killed, once and for all. Batman then heads back to the chamber, and confronts Ra's Al Ghul. This is where the player is given two choices: to either administer the cure and heal him in the process, or destroy Ra's' streams that are keeping him alive. 2ff7e9595c
