Fantasy Knight

Fantasy Knight is the first morph Kei or Yumi can acquire in Ape Escape 3. It is available at the start of Saru-mon's Castle/Knight's Castle.

Abilities

This morphs basic attack is a hefty swing of the players weapon. This attack is more powerful than that of the regular Stun Club and can knock monkeys out when hit. By rotating the right analogue stick, the protagonist will swing their weapon around in the air. When released, the player will slam their weapon to the ground creating a powerful shock wave that can hurt multiple enemies and monkeys in close proximity.

The Fantasy Knights is equipped with a special shield for Kei and a magical shield for Yumi. In this form, the player can use a shield to block attacks from the front, whether that be enemies or monkeys. It can also be used to block fire. The player does not need to press any button to block, as the shield is always active. That is unless the player attacks in which they will be vulnerable while using it. Note that it only blocks the players front, so attacks from behind or fall damage will still hurt the player.

By pressing R3, the Fantasy Knight will create a large magical field under their feet that will capture any monkey within it. This ability can also be used in mid-air. The field starts at the players feet and expands outwards, until it reaches its maximum size and disappears.
