King Arthur: Knight’s Tale Character Unlock Guide

There are tons of Heroes you can unlock and recruit in the game. This King Arthur: Knight’s Tale Character Unlock Guide tells you everything you need to know about each character we’ve unlocked so far including how to unlock them, their class type, and associated Traits.

There are multiple paths you can follow in King Arthur: Knight’s Tale. Some characters are locked behind specific Morality choices in the game. You can check the in-game Morality menu for more information but we’ll outline which characters you can and cannot recruit depending on your alignment. We do not include Mordred or Sir Kay in the list below as you start the game with both of these Heroes unlock.

Remember, unless you are playing on Story difficulty, death is permanent. Save often. At least, that’s what the game tells you, but you can actually revive dead heroes with a certain item.
