Hold Your King Challenges Guide: Conquer Every Trial

Overview of Challenges in Hold Your King

Challenges in Hold Your King are special trials that test your ability to transport the irate monarch through increasingly perilous scenarios. Unlike the standard campaign, these modes introduce unique modifiers, strict time limits, or specific objectives that demand precise coordination. Completing them unlocks exclusive cosmetic items, in-game currency, and leaderboard rankings. This guide covers every challenge type, offering proven strategies to help you and your partner succeed.

Types of Challenges

Essential Strategies for All Challenges

Before diving into specific trials, master these universal tactics. First, maintain constant communication with your partner. Call out incoming traps and coordinate your movements to keep the king stable. Second, learn the physics of the king's carriage. It has a center of mass that shifts; sudden movements can tip it over. Third, prioritize survival over speed in the early attempts. Knowing the trap patterns is more valuable than a fast time.

Step-by-Step: Conquering a Time Trial

Follow these steps to beat a Time Trial challenge:

1. Study the Course

   Watch a full run of the level without moving. Identify all trap sequences and the safest path.

2. Divide Responsibilities

   Assign one player to focus on forward momentum while the other manages the king's balance and calls out threats.

3. Execute with Precision

   Move as a unit. Use short, controlled bursts of speed rather than constant sprinting to maintain stability.

4. Optimize Your Route

   After a successful run, review the replay to find areas where you can shave off seconds by cutting corners or skipping safe zones.

Rewards and Progression

Completing challenges yields significant rewards. Each challenge tier (Bronze, Silver, Gold) provides increasing amounts of gold and experience points. Gold-tier completions often grant exclusive skins for the king or your carriers. Additionally, your overall challenge score contributes to your player profile, unlocking special titles and border frames.

• Bronze: Base currency reward (100 Gold).
• Silver: Increased currency (250 Gold) + Common cosmetic.
• Gold: Maximum currency (500 Gold) + Rare cosmetic + Profile Title.
• All Tiers: Experience points toward your season pass level.

Advanced Tips for the King's Wrath Challenge

This challenge is notorious for its difficulty. The king's rage manifests as sudden leans and jumps, which can destabilize you. The key is to anticipate these outbursts. When the king begins to grumble, prepare to shift your weight in the opposite direction. Use the environment to your advantage: position his carriage near walls or pillars to limit his range of motion.
