No one cares what you think. How many are there suposed to be? User Info: Joe-Skull. Here's the thing. Once you are done with the quest line you can ask a fellow knight to follow you. If they are a named Knight they are going to be of equivalent power to yourself. If they are a replacement then they will be much weaker. So it is good to save the named Knights if you can. User Info: ZarnonElchris. Eliminate the Aurorans in the first area, then make sure everybody is healed gauntlets help here If everybody is alive, save again.
Open the gate and wait till all the knights go upstairs, then go through the gate on the bottom. The Aurorans here don't spawn until you enter the room, so the knights won't encounter them alone.
By the time the knights make it to you, all the Aurorans will be targeting you, so the knights should go unharmed. In the next area there's another chance to heal everybody before opening the gate.
Make sure everyone is alive and save again. Open the gate, run past all the Aurorans and get to the orb as fast as possible, activating the orb stops the fight. Keep the save before opening the gates here in case someone dies before you reach the orb you won't know until after the fight with Umaril One of the Redguards can't die until the quest is over, so at the very least you'll always have him. I always just make a mad dash to the end and run past everything. Doing this I seldom get a knight to die before the last part where everything freezes.
The madman is the man who has lost everything except his reason. There are un-named knights no matter whay you do. The camera adjusts three or four times as she talks, and on each occasion, she twitches momentarily, betraying tiny flashes of aristocratic irritation.
It is not unusual for a country to succumb to a state of denial as a long chapter in its history is about to end. The result is an enormous objection to even thinking about — let alone talking or writing about — what will happen when the Queen dies. We avoid the subject as we avoid it in our own families. It seems like good manners, but it is also fear.
The reporting for this article involved dozens of interviews with broadcasters, government officials, and departed palace staff, several of whom have worked on London Bridge directly. Almost all insisted on complete secrecy. Buckingham Palace, meanwhile, has a policy of not commenting on funeral arrangements for members of the royal family. And yet this taboo, like much to do with the monarchy, is not entirely rational, and masks a parallel reality.
It involves matters of major public importance, will be paid for by us, and is definitely going to happen. According to the Office of National Statistics, a British woman who reaches the age of 91 — as the Queen will in April — has an average life expectancy of four years and three months. Her death will also release its own destabilising forces: in the accession of Queen Camilla; in the optics of a new king who is already an old man; and in the future of the Commonwealth, an invention largely of her making.
Coping with the way these events fall is the next great challenge of the House of Windsor, the last European royal family to practise coronations and to persist — with the complicity of a willing public — in the magic of the whole enterprise. Succession is part of the job. It is an opportunity for order to be affirmed.
Queen Victoria had written down the contents of her coffin by Louis Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, prepared a winter and a summer menu for his funeral lunch. It will be 10 days of sorrow and spectacle in which, rather like the dazzling mirror of the monarchy itself, we will revel in who we were and avoid the question of what we have become.
T he idea is for nothing to be unforeseen. If the Queen dies there, her body will come to London by car after a day or two. The most elaborate plans are for what happens if she passes away at Balmoral, where she spends three months of the year. This will trigger an initial wave of Scottish ritual. Crowds are expected at level crossings and on station platforms the length of the country — from Musselburgh and Thirsk in the north, to Peterborough and Hatfield in the south — to throw flowers on the passing train.
Another locomotive will follow behind, to clear debris from the tracks. There will be an altar, the pall, the royal standard, and four Grenadier Guards, their bearskin hats inclined, their rifles pointing to the floor, standing watch. In the corridors, staff employed by the Queen for more than 50 years will pass, following procedures they know by heart. There will be no time for sadness, or to worry about what happens next. Charles will bring in many of his own staff when he accedes.
Outside, news crews will assemble on pre-agreed sites next to Canada Gate, at the bottom of Green Park. Special fibre-optic cable runs under the Mall, for broadcasting British state occasions. Everyone knows what to do. The 18th Duke of Norfolk, the Earl Marshal, will be in charge. Norfolks have overseen royal funerals since The current version of the plan is largely the work of Lieutenant-Colonel Anthony Mather, a former equerry who retired from the palace in He declined to speak with me.
Someone will have the job of printing around 10, tickets for invited guests, the first of which will be required for the proclamation of King Charles in about 24 hours time. E veryone on the conference calls and around the table will know each other.
For a narrow stratum of the British aristocracy and civil service, the art of planning major funerals — the solemnity, the excessive detail — is an expression of a certain national competence.
The first plans for London Bridge date back to the s, before being refined in detail at the turn of the century. Since then, there have been meetings two or three times a year for the various actors involved around a dozen government departments, the police, army, broadcasters and the Royal Parks in Church House, Westminster, the Palace, or elsewhere in Whitehall.
Participants described them to me as deeply civil and methodical. Arcane and highly specific knowledge is shared. The coffin must have a false lid, to hold the crown jewels, with a rim at least three inches high. In theory, everything is settled. But in the hours after the Queen has gone, there will be details that only Charles can decide. The Prince of Wales has waited longer to assume the British throne than any heir, and the world will now swirl around him at a new and uncrossable distance.
Switchboards — the Palace, Downing Street, the Department of Culture, Media and Sport — will be swamped with calls during the first 48 hours. The official advice, as it was last time, will be that business should continue as usual. If the Queen dies during Royal Ascot, the meet will be scrapped. After the death of George VI in , rugby and hockey fixtures were called off, while football matches went ahead.
Fans sang Abide With Me and the national anthem before kick off. The National Theatre will close if the news breaks before 4pm, and stay open if not. All games, including golf, will be banned in the Royal Parks. It advised stockpiling books of condolence — loose leaf, so inappropriate messages can be removed — to be placed in town halls, libraries and museums the day after the Queen dies. Mayors will mask their decorations maces will be shrouded with black bags.
In provincial cities, big screens will be erected so crowds can follow events taking place in London, and flags of all possible descriptions, including beach flags but not red danger flags , will be flown at half mast. The country must be seen to know what it is doing.
The most recent set of instructions to embassies in London went out just before Christmas. One of the biggest headaches will be for the Foreign Office, dealing with all the dignitaries who descend from all corners of the earth. Parliament will gather. In , the Commons convened for two minutes before noon.
The house met again in the evening, when MPs began swearing the oath of allegiance to the new sovereign. Messages rained in from parliaments and presidents. The US House of Representatives adjourned. Ethiopia announced two weeks of mourning. In the House of Lords, the two thrones will be replaced by a single chair and a cushion bearing the golden outline of a crown.
In theory, all current members of the Privy Council, from Jeremy Corbyn to Ezekiel Alebua, the former prime minister of the Solomon Islands, are invited — but there is space for only or so.
In , the Queen was one of two women present at her proclamation. After Charles has spoken, trumpeters from the Life Guards, wearing red plumes on their helmets, will step outside, give three blasts and the Garter King of Arms, a genealogist named Thomas Woodcock, will stand on the balcony and begin the ritual proclamations of King Charles III.
In , four newsreel cameras recorded the moment. This time there will be an audience of billions. The band of the Coldstream Guards will play the national anthem on drums that are wrapped in black cloth. The proclamations will only just be getting started. A gun salute — almost seven minutes of artillery — will be fired from Hyde Park. There will be cocked hats and horses everywhere. One of the concerns of the broadcasters is what the crowds will look like as they seek to record these moments of history.
On the old boundary of the City of London, outside the Royal Courts of Justice, a red cord will hang across the road. The City Marshal, a former police detective chief superintendent named Philip Jordan, will be waiting on a horse. The heralds will be formally admitted to the City, and there will be more trumpets and more announcements: at the Royal Exchange, and then in a chain reaction across the country.
Sixty-five years ago, there were crowds of 10, in Birmingham; 5, in Manchester; 15, in Edinburgh. High Sheriffs stood on the steps of town halls, and announced the new sovereign according to local custom. In York, the Mayor raised a toast to the Queen from a cup made of solid gold.
The same rituals will take place, but this time around the new king will also go out to meet his people. There will also be civic receptions, for teachers, doctors and other ordinary folk, which are intended to reflect the altered spirit of his reign.
But from another city each day, there will be images of the new king mourning alongside his subjects, assuming his almighty, lonely role in the public imagination. F or a long time, the art of royal spectacle was for other, weaker peoples: Italians, Russians, and Habsburgs.
