KR 3 Paths Challenge

[Daver35]

Hi everybody. I'm relatively new on the forums, and this is the first challenge I make. Well, it's not really a challenge, it's more for fun, because some stages are impossible to beat (I think). This challenge consists on 3 paths, and the goal is to beat all the campaign levels you can (with 20 lives if possible) with each path. You must play on "Hard" difficulty and follow the rules for each path:

PATH OF THE SWORD: Barracks only, must use Gerald, no Premium content.

PATH OF THE BOW: Archer towers only, must use Alleria, no Premium content.

PATH OF THE HAMMER(AKA The easy way xD): Dwarven bombards only, must use Malik, no premium content.

Then post how many stages have you beat with each path.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REWARDS: If you complete a path, you can add one of these cool achievements to your signature:

Not bad, Daver! I'm gonna try the path of the sword.

[Cheesecake]

YES I must try this.

[Daver35]

Not bad, Daver! I'm gonna try the path of the sword.

The Citadel is FUCKIN' AWESOME with that path, but I think that it's impossible to do perfect. I can defeat the Juggernaut with ease, but these garygoles are a P.I.T.A. (Pain In The Ass)

They must be annoying... could be hard to kill them if they appear before you can get some barbarian throwing axes.

I beat the first 3 levels on Path of the Hammer pretty easily. I haven't tried Twin Rivers or the ones after, but I will soon. When I beat Hammer I'll move on to Bow and then Sword. After that I'll try it on KRF, using Alric for Sword, Mirage for Bow, and Cronan for Hammer.

Update: Beat Twin Rivers Pass and Silveroak Forest on Hammer. Sold the marksman tower in Silveroak outpost and didn't use elves as I wasn't sure if there was a rule against that or not


Another update: Just beat Citadel. Hardest part was the gargoyles, but I was able to kill most with just reinforcements. Also, it looks really awesome when the Juggernaut launches his little golem heads and four Howitzer missiles hit them at once. I also beat the Coldstep mines, as impossible as it was to deal with gargoyles I actually won.

Third update: Beat Icewind Pass and Stormcloud Temple. On to the dead-ish levels

Hundred thousandth update: I beat path of the Hammer It took me a bit of time to find out how to get a nice starting position on the Forsaken Valley. It wasn't easy defending two paths with only artillery against a bunch of heavily armoured enemies. Here's how I beat it.
And then I beat Dark Tower like this.

well i have completed the path of the sword on the campaign and ruins of acaroth

i remember i always used to do barracks only with different heroes it was my favorite thing to do creating massive melee battles watching the militia fall only to be backed up by grand paladins and bloodthirsty barbarians ahhh good times

Sorry man, I had no idea. I'm new on the forum, so... yeah...
BTW, you're right, the Fury Challenge it's really fun xD

[razieltnt]

@up

Yep, including the fact that, for barbs, killing Dark Slayer took literally one full recharge of Rain of Fire. Including direct spell bombarding.
Its kinda like beating down a steel golem with mere copper fork.
































And yes, much squads of barbs (at once) did the job in that way.

i completed path of the bow for the first 5 levels
but i have a little question:we cant use spells right?

Of course. If you don't use spells it's really hard to beat the challenge with the other paths.

Just beat The Wastes and Forsaken Valley on Bow. Forsaken Valley took a while but eventually I found the right balance of Rangers and Musketeers. Rangers are needed to stop hordes of Dark Knights with true damage poison and Wrath of the forest, while Dark Slayers always get through without Musketeer's Sniper Shot.

Try this level with Musketeers only. Yes, it's possible xD
