Distant Villagers Information

There isn't much information as to who the Distant Villagers are, but these civilians seem to show hospitality towards The Knight, asking them to "sit and take a rest" whenever you speak to them. These royalty looking bugs are encountered at the entrance of the Beast's Den, where if you rest on the bench, after a few seconds, The Knight will realize they are stuck to the bench and the villagers will start to close in while a distorted music starts, the screen begins to fade into black, followed up by a loud roar and The Knight will awaken all tangled up in the Beast's Den. After escaping the area, you'll find these "villagers" have left the area, leaving their cloaks and masks.

Notes & Tips
