NPC ‣ Booyan


Booyan is a clown found randomly in the game. He offers you the option to play a random minigame (one of two) whose reward depends of the score you finish with.

For a perfect (or close to) score you get a Mini-Boss Chest.

Similar to other mini-game NPC's, Booyan won't give you another chance if you lock down the castle and try it with another character.

Throwing Knives Game[]

You have to throw knives from behind a barrier at moving targets. Each new target is positioned at a different distance and moves with a differing, and always increased speed. The first target hit gives the player ten coins, and for each target hit, the next gives an extra ten coins (10, 20, 30, etc.). There is a total of 8 targets you can hit and you have 12 knives at your disposal (Booyan incorrectly says you have 10 knives). If you manage to hit 8 or more targets, you earn an additional iron chest.

Bug: Half-Dragon can launch virtually an endless number of axes/daggers, until you consume all mana he can throw them and the game counts them as ONE, then a player can wait to have all mana again and repeat the process, in this way all targets can be destroyed

Axe Throwing Game[]

A variant of the throwing knives game. There are 100 stationary targets in the air in the sideroom. You have 5 axes to launch at them which break everything in their way and act just as the normal axe spell does. The gold reward depend on how many targets are left. If you manage to hit 90 or more targets, you earn 460 gold, and an iron chest.

Because you're not immediately transported to the room, you can stand in the middle of the partition between the two rooms and jump and throw an axe (especially easy if you are Half-Dragon with fast mana regen), and can knock down a column and a bit of the targets, reducing the efficiency of the axes required to get the top prize.

Bug: Barbarian Kings/Queens can shout and destroy all targets. (Fixed in Patch 1.0.10)

Bug: Conflux can be used right before talking to Booyan to destroy a large number of targets.

Bug: Half-Dragon can launch virtually an endless number of axes/daggers, until you consume all mana he can throw them and the game counts them as ONE, then a player can wait to have all mana again and repeat the process, in this way all targets can be destroyed

Trivia[]
