ASTRO KNIGHTS
"Launch thyself into a new online virtual world adventure on Poptropica! The princess hath been kidnapped and taken to the far reaches of space. Thou must assemble a space vessel and fly among the stars on an intergalactic quest to rescue her and save the kingdom of Arturus in the online virtual world, Astro-Knights Island."
You land in a ruin kingdom; what could've possibly caused all this? Walk right past the sign that greets you (Fun Fact: The latin phrase on the sign "Semper Superne Nitens" means "Always striving upwards", a foreshadow!). Go to the fountain, and collect a Golden Coin near the higher part of the fountain (there is an occasional sparkle). Enter the house of Mordred, and you can only enter again provided you allot a gold coin for admission. You will then receive a Museum Pamphlet. Use your coin, and then go to the top floor, all the way right, and click on the crumpled paper underneath a bed. You will receive a Missing Page from Mordred's Journal. Then click on the books to the left of the bed, and you will receive a Library Book Slip from the house guard. Climb up the stairs, and talk to the king and queen. Their daughter had been kidnapped! If you bring her back, ye shall be knighted. When you ask the last question to the queen, you will receive Coordinates left behind by 3 knights trying to save her. Now exit the throne room, and go down to enter the library (right door on the ground floor) in the castle. Run left to the very end of the higher platform (where the librarian is standing) and you will pick up a book titled "The Mystical Weapons of Arturus". |
Now go to the lower part of the platform in the same room, and achieve another book on a pulpit titled "The Life of Mordred: A Cautionary Tale". When you have both books, go to the plate that says "McM" and click on it. A secret passage will open up, enter it. Grab the Moldy Cheese, then pull the lever to the right. Now exit the basement and library, go left and enter the other door to another room. Get the Secret Message on top of a chest to the right, and use your cheese to bait a Mechanical Mouse. Exit the room and exit the castle as well.
Go back to the castle (left) and climb up the outside to reach the crossbow. Use your rope, and fire the crossbow towards the princess tower (Click to aim, release to fire). Now walk along the tightrope to enter the princess' room.
It's been a while, but I got another one blinking!

Approach the mechanical owl, and it will fly up and outside. Release your robotic mouse once you go back up, and the owl will follow you after the light snack. Now go back down into the secret lab and go all the way left, picking up Mordred's Journal on a purple chair. Push against a pillar of dirt, and it will soon give way. Keep going left, then enter a small hole. You arrive at the same cell, but on the other side. The robot will self-destruct, dropping a Fuel Rod. Click your owl, then click the rod to pick it up.
Your intergalatic quest begins beyond this point. Leave the hidden bunker, and go all the way right to hop on to your hovercraft you activated recently. Point your cursor to the right and it will follow your direction, until you reach a spaceship named "Excalibur". Hop inside the strange UFO and replace the old fuel rod with the new. Then place in the coordinates (56, 52), and launch.
You crash land on Pewter Moon (the name of our moon). Go right, and you can jump farther and higher! Jump upwards to enter the building. Talk to the alien on the left, and when you finish asking how you can get off the planet, he offers you to build your own rocket! Now exit and customize your own spaceship. It doesn't really matter which ones you choose, there isn't a drastic difference. You can edit the door, window, body, and wings. When you are satisfied, blast off!

Jungle Planet - (15, 15)
Exit your spaceship, jump down and walk right until you reach the legendary Laser Lance. Pick it up.
This part is a bit hard. Go to the left, until you reach the first flower you can jump on. Go on it, then jump to the flower on your right, then to your left, then one more to your left until you reach the platform where your rocket is. Now jump on the swinging platforms and keep going right, dodging the electrical caterpillars until you reach another platform after three swinging boards. Keep going right. You will meet the first lost knight. Now, climb up the rope in front of the green soldier, then atop the opening eggs (while heading right) until you reach a cage with a horse in it. Break it open with your lance! Now once you click the Pegasus, your first boss fight will begin.
TIPS: Click to shoot, but if you hold your mouse down, the lance will charge up and when you release, it will shoot a more powerful beam. Stay near the left hand side, but when the mother phoenix approaches, go near the middle. Release your charged beams when the phoenix is about to shoot! Your beams can also destroy her missiles, as well as the bot bees.
When you have successfully defeated the phoenix, you will find out that it was a decoy. The valiant knight will join you in your quest.

Ice Planet - (73, 83)
Watch out for the space sharks! You need to bait all three sharks into to the black hole (about 84, 47) above you, but be careful not to fall in. Also, don't go too fast, or else you will lose them! To get their attention, just simply shoot them by clicking. Now land on the Ice Planet.
The ice is slippery; predict where you will land early. Keep going right. Don't fall in the water, and watch out for the fish! Arriving to the heart of this planet was one of the hardest parts for me in all of Poptropica. Duck when the fish jumps, then keep going to the next iceberg. When you reach the second level, don't get hit by the rolling snowballs! Keep going upwards, dodging the snowballs and keeping in mind that the ice is slippery. You will reach a blue knight. He will then give you a Force Shield, and you will fight the boss!
Using your shield, deflect the snowballs dropped by the tiger. 3 hits, and it goes down. But dodge the ice he shoots, don't try ricocheting those! Keep doing this until the tiger falls. The knight will also proceed to join you on your mission.

Fire Planet - (83, 20)
Exit your ship, now be careful where you step! Don't fall into the lava; this planet is alike the ice. Jump on the platforms and be careful of the height. Then jump into the volcano. This one was also pretty hard, and took me a while.
When you are inside, be careful of the draft! Every 3 seconds it arrives and lasts for 10 seconds. Enter the grooves of the cave whenever the draft blows, and keep going against the draft. If you get caught, you will need to restart! You will then reach a weird coil of eyes. Jump over it, and talk to the red knight. He will then give you an Ice Arrow. Now go left to slay the third beast!
This is one of the hardest boss to kill. Climb up the chains and go to the very last one (on the left), then drop down to pull the lever on the dragon. When he is stunned, get in front of him, click on the arrow in the left hand bottom corner, and shoot him in the mouth. Watch out for the spiked armor on him, as well as the falling stalactites! Do this three times to win. Aside from all this, watch your body temperature! If hit reaches the maximum, you will need to restart. Make sure you hit him right in the throat and on time, if you hit it on the side of its mouth or right when it closes it's mouth, you will need to do it again.

Now...to the Asteroid Belt!
Fly towards the bottom left hand corner of space - (12, 82). Now click to shoot, and break the asteroids until you arrive to a mysterious asteroid that has a city-like crystal built on top. Land there.
Exit your ship, and jump upwards, then pull the key, since you are the chosen one!

A mystical portal opens! Enter it, and jump down to save the princess! But all of a sudden...
If you click the door, it will be a puzzle. My hint is to start from the bottom up. When you click one card, the four adjacent will flip. Keep doing this until the whole door is a picture of Mordred - or Binary Bard! (Here's the code though) Now enter!
You are now Merlin the owl! Grab the mines Mordred releases from his machine, and drop them on the green orb located at the top of his machine right when they are about to blow! Dodge his homing circular saws as well as his mechanical blade-arms. When he gets hit twice, the owl will fall, and it will be up to you! Now, jump on the machine (dodging his swinging arms), then onto the chandeliers so that when he tries to zap you, the lights will fall on him! Do this twice to end his bot!
You have brought the orb back to the kingdom and brought peace alas, o knight! Congratulations!
