[[Image:Black-Knight-DC.gif|right]]
The '''Black Knight''' is the lord of [[Dark Castle]]. He seems to be the leader of the '''Dark Castle''', though he is never seen doing anything but drinking beer. It is not known what he does to warrant such dislike, but the townsfolk are all scared of him, and then warn [[Prince Duncan]] before he enters '''Dark Castle''' for the first time. The '''Black Knight''' wears a suit of Black Armor, and is never seen beneath the armor.

When [[Prince Duncan]] makes his way to the [[Black Knight 3|Black Knight's Throne room]], he pulls five switches on the walls. Then the '''Black Knight''' falls of his throne, and a [[Gargoyle]] takes '''Duncan''' to the [[Trouble 3|Dungeon]].

===Beyond Dark Castle===
''Main Article [[Beyond Dark Castle]]''

As said in the [[Help Screens]] of '''Beyond Dark Castle''' with help from [[Merlin]], [[Prince Duncan]] has found his way behind the '''Black Knight's throne''', where there is a fireplace and mantle. '''Duncan''' walks up and tries to take a torch, only to have the whole wall turn around. It is shown that '''Duncan''' is in a large [[Ante Room]], where there are 5 pedestals for holding [[Orb|orbs]]. '''Duncan''' then proceeds to collect all 5 '''orbs''', and a gate is opened that leads to the [[Black Knight's Showdown & The Final Battle|final duel with The Black Knight.]] '''Duncan''' makes his way through the room until finally finding the [[Black Knight]], where they then fight.

On [[Beginner]] and [[Intermediate]] [[Difficulties]], when the [[Black Knight]] is defeated he falls back into his chair, and [[Prince Duncan]] makes his way over to the fire place by the throne, and is taken back to the [[Main Menu]], where he does a victory dance. After the score is shown, '''Duncan''' goes back though the wall and ends up back in the [[Ante Room]].

Upon defeating the [[Black Knight]] on [[Advanced]] he falls back into his chair, then turns into a little swirling ball of energy, and flies up the place where his drinks were coming from. [[Prince Duncan]] then goes to the fireplace, and pulls on the torch, and is taken back to the [[Main Menu]]. This time, after doing his victory dance, the Energy ball that the '''Black Knight''' turned into comes from the top of the screen, and turns '''Duncan''' into the '''Black Knight'''. The new '''Black Knight''' then looks at himself, and the wall turns around, showing a "The End" on the other side.

===Return to Dark Castle===
''Main article [[Return to Dark Castle]]''

His only appearance so far in '''Return to Dark Castle''' has been on a painting in the [[Library]], in a typical pose of him pitching a mug of beer over his shoulder.

==Black Knight as a Character==

There are Spoilers in this section.

The '''Black Knight''' is never seen doing anything wrong, and it is only assumed that he is the enemy, as such.

The '''Black Knight''' may not even be a person, but more a force, as it is shown when [[Prince Duncan]] defeats him in [[Beyond Dark Castle]], and then turns into the '''Black Knight''' himself. 

It is currently unknown if '''Duncan'' can be rescued from his current state, or if [[Bryant]] knows the truth.

==Weaknesses==

In [[Dark Castle]], the '''Black Knight''' is unaffected by [[Rocks]] or [[Fireball]]s.  The only way of defeating him is to pull five chains scattered throughout the room.  Each chain weakens the structure holding up his thrown, and when all have been pulled the Black Knight falls to his defeat.

in [[Beyond Dark Castle]], once you get close enough, throw [[Fireball]]s at him, while avoiding his knives.

==Attacks==

In [[Dark Castle]] he can only throw [[Mug|mugs]] at you, which on [[Beginner]], disappear after hitting the side of the screen. On [[Intermediate]], they bounce once before disappearing.
