THE INFINITE KNIGHT CHALLENGE
This contest has been a long time coming, and I’m super excited to announce it!Some of you may know: the Batman: Arkham video games are some of my favorite in the world. I have played and replayed Asylum + City since I was twelve, and despite the flaws of the story, I still enormously enjoy replaying Arkham Knight to this day, as its mechanics and gameplay are the best in the series hands-down.Several years after the release of Arkham Knight, a community challenge pack was released. In it, there was a map known as ENDLESS KNIGHT: a predator challenge where each knockout spawned more enemies that constantly adapted to counter your tactics. A mere four armed foes would gradually transform into eight, then eleven, then sixteen, each one brandishing optic deflection armor, miniguns, landmines, armor-piercing shotguns, and countless other weapons.To achieve a perfect 3-star score, you must accumulate a total of 20 knockouts.My current standing record is 399.To all who read this: I issue you a challenge. If you can beat my record in Endless Knight, you will win free paperbacks of every book I write and all associated merchandise FOR LIFE!!!This means that if you can break my Endless Knight record, you will receive:- A free paperback edition of Young Monarchs: Last War of the Eight Kingdoms
- All eight Young Monarchs chibi stickers (releasing soon)
- All future non-exclusive Young Monarchs merch, such as shirts, prints, stickers, and more
- One free paperback edition of each book in the Fist of Terraheim series, beginning at Book 1’s release in 2026
- All future non-exclusive Fist of Terraheim merch, such as shirts, prints, stickers, and more
- A paperback edition of Heavy Metal Space Quest when it releases in 2026
- All future non-exclusive Heavy Metal Space Quest merch, such as shirts, prints, stickers, and more
- A paperback or physical issue of each work from B.S. Warren that is TBA.
- All non-exclusive merch for works TBA.This is HUNDREDS, possibly THOUSANDS of dollars worth of spoils, and all you need to do is game to claim!Triumph is achieved by fulfilling all of the following:
1.] Sign up for the newsletter at bswarren.carrd.co and follow me on Twitter at @BSWarren3 so you can check the standing record.
2.] Accumulate more knockouts than B.S. Warren in the Endless Knight game mode. You must beat the standing record, which will be updated regularly via social media and the newsletter.
3.] Take a screenshot of your victory plus a picture of your hand throwing up a peace sign in front of the map’s final score screen (Rude and/or inappropriate gestures are also acceptable).
4.] Repost and like the pinned promo for Young Monarchs (visible on my X profile @BSWarren3).
5.] Post the photos of your victory on X and tag me in them!Once you’ve followed these steps, I will reach out and send you your rewards.This challenge is ongoing— TOTALLY PERMANENT— meaning that even if someone manages to beat my Endless Knight record, everyone can still claim the full prize. If you and your buddy both pull it off, both of you win FREE BOOKS AND MERCH FOR LIFE!However, be warned: in order to win, you must beat my standing record. As time passes, this will only get higher. Prizes will not be given out to participants who beat old records.
For example, my current standing record as of writing this is 399. If I finish the map next week with 458 knockouts, that will become the new record. Anyone who finishes the map after I achieve that with fewer than 458 knockouts will not receive prizes.In the spirit of fair contest, a grandfather clause applies here. If you beat the standing record before it rises, you will still receive the grand prize. Just make sure you follow the steps provided to claim your victory before I post the new standing record on X or share it in the newsletter. As soon as I announce it, that’s what you have to beat!I will provide updates on my record as they arise via X. Make sure you’re following me so you can keep up!Note: in order to send any victor their rightful spoils, all winners must have a valid mailing address.For questions regarding the contest, just tag me on Twitter and ask away.
Triumph calls, Seeker.
Enter the Infinite Night and claim it.
Gratitudes,
B.S. Warren
