Learn how to unlock the powerful Steel Knight in Crusader Kings III, including how to get the Rare Armour and recruit this formidable fighter to your cause.
Hey there! So you're looking to get your hands on the legendary Steel Knight in Crusader Kings III? He's the absolute powerhouse of the game, hitting harder than anyone else. Let's get you set up to recruit him!
First off, keep an eye out for a merchant who might visit you when you're chilling on your throne. This guy is your ticket to some crucial upgrades. Make sure you buy absolutely everything he offers – seriously, every single upgrade will make a huge difference later on. You'll also have two ministers, Liam and Verde, who will occasionally ask for money. Just say yes to all their demands. This keeps the merchant coming back and eventually, he'll offer the 'Rare Armour'. Word on the street is it's haunted, but don't worry about that for now!
Once you've snagged that Rare Armour, it'll show up in a corner behind your throne. Fast forward to the late game – think after you've conquered at least 6 rival kingdoms. You'll notice the Rare Armour starts moving around your castle lobby. Go chat with it! If you've met the kingdom requirement, it'll join your crew, and that's how you unlock the one and only Steel Knight.
The Steel Knight is a total beast. When you send him into battle, he kicks things off with his super move, unleashing thunderbolts on your enemies. He's your strongest fighter, no doubt about it.
