Rich knight BOSS

The Rich Knight Boss will appear as soon as you trigger Part 1 of the main Questline. This is your Main Boss this week of the Event. You will “Pelt” him with Cabbage you collect during the Event.  You need to defeat him to the highest level possible and obtain the most prizes.

 Cabbage (Common) –  Get from clearing Potato Bugs, Cabbage Cart

You’ll see him wandering your sidewalks with a timer.

Simply tap him and you’ll see the level requirement trade and rewards. Collect the Cabbages necessary for pelting him then hit, eh, “TRIP“.

Here is the general breakdown of trades costs and rewards. The item you need to trade may differ from mine but the amounts needed will be the same.

1X – Requires 1 Cabbage
Rewards – 8 Shamrocks & 1 Golden Cane

2X – Requires 2 Cabbage
Rewards – 16 Shamrocks & 2 Golden Cane

3X – Requires 3 Cabbage
Rewards – 24 Shamrocks & 2 Golden Cane

4X – Requires 4 Cabbage
Rewards – 32 Shamrocks & 3 Golden Cane

5X – Requires 5 Cabbage
Rewards – 40 Shamrocks & 3 Golden Cane

You have 24hrs to hit the highest level before The Rich Knight will rest (cool down). His cool down is 2 hours. You can wake him immediately for Clams.

Please note when he returns he will be back at 1x unless you’ve used clams to wake him at the level he went into cool down at.

Griffins

These are the little baddies from last week and are still important to the event as they drop Gold Roulette Tokens for unlocking Thelma. And as you know they are quite simple to deal with, it’s just a simple tap and they are gone.

The event rewards for clearing Griffins this week are as follows:

Per Griffin Cleared
2 Shamrocks (Always)
1 Golden Roulette Token (Chance)
1 Bug Spray (Chance)

---

Building infestations

Yes these are continuing this week and are just as annoying as last week, well they are supposed to be Bugs, so guess it’s only right they are bugging us. You’ll deal with them the same as last week.

And remember there are many buildings that ca be affected, below is a list of buildings that have previously been used for this type of gameplay:

Abandoned Warehouse, Quahog Wharf, Quahog Mini-Mart, Library, Flappy Jacks, Got Wood Furniture Store, Yacht Club, Lighthouse, PF Chinese, Awful, Person Hattery, Modern Mausoleum, Quahog Amusement Park, McBurgertown, Quahog City Hall, Quahog Police Station, Le Croissant Degoutant, Quahog, Cinema, Dog Park, Dansu Dansu, Sleek Office, Average Office, We Heal You Long Time, Dog Pound, Quahog Playhouse, Channel 5 News, Common Office, Madeleine’s Boutique, See Through Office, Quahog Fire Station, News Truck, Typical Office, Quahog Funeral Home, Quahog Public Library, Bob’s Funland, Quahog Oceanland, Quahog Malt Shoppe.

I’d advise as pulling as many of these buildings as you can out of storage to try to lessen the chances of essential buildings being infested – i.e.  those that are needed for character tasks such McBurgertown, Quahog Mini-Mart. But if it’s like last week they will latch on to the essential buildings.

And this is a pain because when a building is infested you will not be able to collect rent, finish characters actions, or send characters on actions there until it is cleared.

To clear an infestation you will quite simply need Bug Spray.

Bug Spray (Common): Get from clearing Griffins, O’Doodys Outhouse, Buy from store. (You’ll also get 1 free to use every 4hrs)

You can see how many you have in the Pesticide tab at the bottom of your screen.  Please note the free Spray doesn’t show.

***Again remember as I said  you automatically gain 1 free Spray every 4 hours. Just make sure you use it every 4hrs to reset the “FREE” timer***

To clear an infestation is pretty simple, every 4 hours or once you’re earned a Bug Spray, click on any building with a bug on it. This will bring up the spraying screen. However please priorities buildings where characters tasks are complete. To do this go to Thelma, and select the task, for example I clicked on Family Books and then Barbara struggle to get around.

Now if she is finished her task you’ll see this screen. So clear the bug and complete the task and put her back on it straight away.

If she’s not completed the task yet you’ll see this screen with either Fill Er Up or Spray if you’re free one is ready.

If you see that go back to Thelma and chose another character task until you find one that’s ready to collect.  This is the most efficient use of your Spray. And saves you trying time things. Thanks again to Wildbill for this tip.

infestations drops the following:

Per Infestation Cleared:
6 Shamrocks (Always)
1 Potato (Chance) – Only shows as a drop after Sir Knight-A-Lot appears
1 Cabbage (Chance) – Only shows as a drop after Rich Knight appears

---

Sir knight-A-Lot BOSS

The Sir Knight-A-Lot Boss will continue to appear and you’ll need defeat him for the main Questline if you should choose to complete it. But he’s also a continuing source of Shamrocks. You’ll attack with him as last week using Potatoes.

 Potatoes (Common) –  Get from clearing Potato Bugs, Potato Cart

Here is the general breakdown of trades costs and rewards. The item you need to trade may differ from mine but the amounts needed will be the same.

1X – Requires 2 Potatoes
Rewards – 8 Shamrocks

2X – Requires 4 Potatoes
Rewards – 16 Shamrocks

3X – Requires 6 Potatoes
Rewards – 24 Shamrocks

4X – Requires 8 Potatoes
Rewards – 32 Shamrocks

5X – Requires 10 Potatoes
Rewards – 40 Shamrocks

You have 24hrs to hit the highest level before Sir Knight-A-Lot will rest (cool down). His cool down is 2 hours. You can wake him immediately for Clams.

Please note when he returns he will be back at 1x unless you’ve used clams to wake him at the level he went into cool down at.
