Clue objects they shouldn't have left behind
Posted: 01 Jul 2020, 18:41
As we know, various Knightmare quests ultimately failed because the team left behind a clue object that was needed later. I was curious about which objects, so I made a list of the confirmed ones.
Series 1
Lamp
Comb
Horn
Series 2
Shield
Gauntlet
Ice pack
Divining rod
Potion
Series 3
Crayon
Gauntlet
Series 5
Gold
Series 6
Witch amber
Series 7
Nightsight Potion
Series 8
Stiletta's knife
Brain Pills
Fireball Brandy
Some notes and observations:
In Series 1, 2 and 8, around half the losing quests were the result of clue object choices.
Series 4 was entirely free of clue object failures. It helped that some levels provided and required no clue object choices. That was the case in some other series' quests too.
No left-behind clue object doomed more than one quest, unless you count the anti-catacombite gauntlet in Series 2 Quest 5 and the armourer's gauntlet in Series 3 Quest 8 as the same item.
If you were lucky enough to be...
S1 T6 on Level 2
S2 T2 on Level 1
S2 T5 on Level 1
S2 T10 (winners) on Level 1 and Level 3
S3 T11 on Level 1
S6 T1 on Level 1
S6 T5 (winners) on Level 1 and Level 3
S8 T4 on Level 1
...then you only needed one of your two clue objects and were therefore spared this risk. Other teams were told they'd taken the wrong clue object (S2 T7 on Level 1, S6 T6 on Level 1) but suffered no consequences.
