Me and my friends had this theory that the Orange princess was killed some time during the game. During the painter boss fight you see pictures of her with a sword in her back, and every time she's on screen alone she doesn't make a sound or seem to stand up, She just lays there. Finally the fact that she turned into a clown at the very end. Maybe as some kind of last laugh by the evil wizard.

with the boss room details it implies this wasnt the first time the evil wizard tried taking over a kingdom,in the past he most likely succeeded elsewhere

Finally a iceberg video about castle crashers

The dragon entry was actually referring to the fact that the Fire demons could potentially be baby dragons

Man, that crystal theory makes the game so much more disturbing. Like you’re killing all these people that are your allies, at the end of the day. But it also explains why the skeletons attacked you if they’re the lava town villagers… and I guess we could say the necromancer revived them, but he couldn’t have brought back all of them. It also explains why all but one regular enemy is playable.

God, this game was my childhood. Nostalgic to see people talking about this lol

4:33 LFG Is actually a youtuber who did a lot of Castle Crashers character rankings awhile ago. Hope that helps clarify why that's on the iceberg!

about the last entry, we can see that the area leading up to the crystal castle place that houses all the endgame bosses and the castle itself are full of skeletons and pieces of torn up houses, sheds, and other structures. this probably means there was once a kingdom next to the ice kingdom that has since been destroyed presumably by the wizard and turned into his own lair.

I think within the Under Water section at 4:09 means to reference Waterflame (composer for some music) and Acid Lightning (being some sort of content creator for the game) as being inspirations for the four elements the knights hold (Water (Ice), Flame (Fire), Acid (Poison), Lightning (lightning lol)). That’s probably what that entry is for.

I grew up with Castle Crashers on the PS3 version and I remember the scissors being there And then I played the PC port later on and I was questioning if I had a mandela effect or if it's rare And now I know it's PS3 exclusive

Only the real OG's remember Castle Crashing the Beard

God knows how much I needed some informative Castle Crashers content for that sweet nostalgia itch, amazing video

Tbh the red knight's constant zap magic is pretty unique to me so I thought they were the leader Also red usually is in other media

I can honestly see the Crystal theory being true as it can actually explain why you unlock enemies after most play throughs ( granted the real reason is probably because playing as the enemies is a cool concept but it’s cool to think about )

On that last theory. Always thought that was the queen. I mean, the princesses probably had a mother right? With the chair being there as well, the evil wizard could have kidnapped her along with the throne with the levitation magic used to take the crystal.

you exclusively have made me invested in Castle Crashers.

I have had a theory for a long time that Alien Hominid, BattleBlock Theatre, and Castle Crashers are all connected. This is because the Alien Ship in Alien Hominid is seen being shot down by a large beam, possibly being Hattingtons after the credits of BBT. Although in AH it is implied that the FBI shot it down, it could’ve just been an alarm that alerted people of Alien Invasion. In Castle Crashers, we also can obviously find both Hattington and his Golden Whale pet, along side the Aliens in their ship that were identical to the ones in AH. There is more to the theory, but I don’t have time to explain it in depth. I might make a KZfaq video on it at some point in the future though.

LFG - it's actually ment to be for a castle crashers KZfaqr I watch and I put it their as a joke Acid lightning - used to be the name of the creator of Simple Sights Hatty and crystal connections - hatty's hat is glowing and red, which is eerily similar to the crystal when under the evil wizard's control

you should do something like this but for battleblock theater, that and castle crashers used to go hand in hand back in the day

Correction: 1:15 The PS3 version also only has the pink knight and blacksmith as DLC (+ hatty) the other characters are unlocked during insane mode. The Switch, PS4, and Xbox One versions have Hatty unlockable for gold in the Insane Store. Alien is technically also DLC for Xbox 360 because you have to get an achievement in Alien Hominid to unlock him. Correction 2: 2:57 You can play as many Castle Crashers characters in Battleblock theater! These include Barbarian, Snakey, Rammy, etc. You can also play as Alien Hominid characters in Battleblock such as the FBI agents, Alien, and more. Also… GOOD VIDEO MAN!!!

If you're looking for ideas on Castle Crashers challenge runs, I think I might have an idea, one that's not even too painful. It might also showcase some of the lesser used weapons in the game. The premise is that you must switch to and use every weapon you find during the campaign. This can be through weapons that are plainly in sight, dug up or bought. Making sure you start with a shovel might also make it a bit more fun. Here are also some extra rules ro spice it up. - You can never go into the moose-frog to change your weapon. - Whenever you enter a shop, you must buy the weapon there if you haven't already. - To prevent it from just being a magic run, you can't invest more than five points into magic. (Just to unlock the horizontal projectile spell). Given castle crashers rather imbalanced weapons, this could be a fun run to showcase the ignored weapons while indulging in some hijinks from potential dropped weapons from enemies.

I think that the skeleton and the crown where supposed to be the orange's princess corpse and crown, and yeah, I know that we don't see the princess with a crown but i do think that the plan was to get the princess killed (mainly for the art that we can see in the paintings in the painter's boss fight) and because I'm pretty sure that Dan said once that the idea was for the mage to kill the princess unleashing the fury of the knights

Castle Crashers to this day is my favorite game and im playing the game every year. Seeing this iceberg was a huge pleasure, and i guess i will start playing the game again.

What a guy, I’m replaying castle crashes again on a fresh account and this jus opened my eyes. Been rocking with this game for over 10 years now good to see guys still playing it.

Is it me or is castle crashets having a small resurgance

ive been looking for a castle crashers iceberg and finally found one, thank you bro and great video!!!

This game means a lot to me. Playin it for hours and hours with my lil bro and friends. Great video dude 🤘

One thing I've always wondered was why the iceskimo starts with one of the strongest weapons in the game, probably because they had to give them a weapon the iceskimo enemies use but didn't want to nerf it cause it's really far in the endgame

this game is my childhood and my favorite of all time; i would die happy if they ever released a part 2

i love this!!!! i just replayed castle crashers recently i was so happy to see this in my recommended, good video!!!

16:17 although a silly game the idea now it’s intriguing to imagine that this floating castle of evil went around to collect crystals and bait in the form of princesses but were stopped only thanks to these knights, I mean armour was normally standardised so it’s also a nice idea for the necromancer having a similar design to our armour. I am just glad to see this game again, also I forgot hegreen knight had a special attack like that! And more interestingly, the wiki states that the Arabian/sand knights can also do a unique attack in the form of the sand twirl. I don’t know how and if it’s real. But it’s also interesting, totally not happy as the green knight was the knight I played at the start and the only one so far that I made him reach level 99. I tell you the insane volcano solo was a grand milestone indeed

note that the behemoth chicken pet increases all stats, which is pretty gud.

Super interesting ^^ thank you for making this!!

A 17minutes Reckerless video. There is no better way to finish the day

RIP hatty hattington,saddest death ever,i couldn't belive what had happened when i first saw the final level and the tragic cutscene that came with it,the final level was a mix of *awesomeness* of the music,the hard timings,and getting to the final jump...when you finished the level,you would go to hatty's room where it was already too late,you took him and ran outside to see all your friends fighting the guards and the storm just adding more tension to get to the ship,when you got to the ship,you thought there was hope,but you slowly realized that there wasn't,the ending was unexpected because i thought he would return to life but sadly no,the hat corrupted him so i hope there will be a sequel to the game or atleast some explanation or some video.

its so nice seeing new castle crashers content

Another great video!

I remember as a kid asking for a physical version of this game for Christmas. I had no idea it was digital only and instead, “Santa” brought me Microsoft points cards with a note explaining me that I had to buy it in the online store and download it myself hahaha

Good video bro-ham keep’em coming

Great video 👍👍👍👍👍 learned alot of interesting things

I'm excited for this

15:26 I'm just convinced that he was so into cosplay, that even death didn't stop him from acting out the sock puppet.

For that last theory about the dead king, I have an idea for it: When you make your way to the Wizard's Castke in the "Wizard's Castle Takeoff" level, there is ruins of a village. Maybe this was the Wizard's village until he turned evil, killing the king, destroying the village, and taking over the area.

This game is so well done I still own the 360 digital copy and my progress still, I think its time for a new run :)

Love ur channel

And to think it was an Xbox Arcade title, absolutely absurd amount of detail and thought put into it. Nice vid, still here learning new stuff about Castle Crashers all these years later

Yooo! That is dope! Have you considered doing an iceberg video about other "The Beheamoth" games?

3:02 I read: "Blacksmith is Purple Guy" for a moment lol.

13:20 That is a reference to the Castle Crashers logo because of the colors, but it's also a reference to an early joke text in Alien Hominid which is a store titled "Castle Of Crap"

4:41 Wasn’t expecting to see my favorite game appear in a video about my second favorite game

9:24 Yooo I actually remember these scissors!! I owned Castle Crashers on the PS3, and I've only encounters these scissors once in an insane playthrough!!

I seen this in my recommended and was so damn happy.

Acid lightning is a castle crashers youtuber that does a lot of content such as a guides, playthroughs, personal challenges, etc. He's also ranked top 10 globally on the kill leaderboard if you check in the castle crashers game. this is because he is very good at juggling and does a lot xp grind, so he racks up a lot of kills over the many many many hours.

This iceberg was poggers Castle Crasher-sama

great video

good content mang

Wow the screenshot of the scissor enemy brought back a decade+ old memory

you really should've mentioned the full map theme unheard in the final game, and that it was made by stamper, who voiced hatty. also johnnyutah drew all the character select art.

If you were to ask me, I would say that the crown, skeleton, and broken chair you see in the wizard boss fight was probably used as a threat to scare the player that the king was killed, because we rarely see him in the game at all, and we have no knowledge of where he could have went.

YES finna be a good video

It cool how castle change so much for it early develop to now

i like the conehead industrial castle theory.

awesome vid

the dead king may have ruled over the castle before the evil wizard came and took over

didnt even know there was deep lore about goofy knight game this should be good

To be honest, knowing how Dan Paladin designs things, I can safely say that the details in the background or similar things to it are just made because they were either funny, or just wanted to decor the thing. I don't really think they hold actual meanings lol. Nice iceberg tho, some things were unknown and I still liked the Bear theory!

This is awesome

O detalhe do rei morto na arena do último chefe, me faz pensar o seguinte, talvez o esqueleto seja do mago, que ao invés de ter sido ressuscitado atravéz de uma magia do necromante, ele tenha voltado em uma forma mágica ou nem voltado, talvez esse mago que a gente vê no jogo tenha pego o cristal e mais uma das princesas para reviver o corpo morto, pois de todos os lugares para manter um corpo tão importante fosse em uma sala tão importante quanto a do último chefe.

I’ve been waiting for this since 2021

Can’t wait for insane damageless streams

13:20 Yes, it may have the color scheme of Castle Crashers; however, this is not a direct reference to Castle Crashers as this was a location in the original Alien Hominid. It's 2 indirect references combined. Gotta love Dan Palidin.

goodness, i think this is a mandela effect. i was playing xbox 360 Castle Crashers, and i loaded into a online multiplayer match, someone was playing as the troll, someone played as red knight, and someone played as the EVIL WIZARD(not the minion). I swear, i remember it clear as day. That group was how i maxed out my king, beating insane mode with them. I ported the save data to remastered, and yeah, my king is still lvl 99, gold skull.

Editing is top tier

This is epic

I WANT THIS VIDEO TO BE 7 HOURS LONG AND AN 5 SEASON SERIES

Holy shit, this video is amazing. You are always 1up-ing your content, and it's crazy. Keep up the great work, man!

I like to think that lava world used to be a somewhat more advanced area as this is the only place you can find more cultured and complex foods like burgers and fries as opposed to the usual fruits and turkey legs. The coneheads are somewhat similar as they have more luxurious deserts.

This was an intresting video some lore and story was one of the many things castle crashers wss missing

I met Acid Lightningx when I was younger. I didn’t know that he was famous😂 He did tell that he had a KZfaq channel and was busy trying to help other people beat insane mode, so we only played for an hour. Edit; this was on Xbox

I can't believe after 10+ years I'm just now finding out that the dragon's bones are in the Cyclops boss room, and that weird thing on the floor is the sock

Well, there are a few things that pretty much disprove the Bear theory. For one, you can see it's real arms when beefy, and they're also covered in fur, confirming it is indeed a bear. Second, the aliens also have the same armor over their arms and legs to fit the style of the game, and we already know they're legit aliens.

15:00 Another interesting point is that the Battle Block Theater top hat glows red, the exact hue that the crystal does in the cult leaders possession. I personally think the cult member somehow had cursed the hat in some way, which explains the erratic behavior.

OH NO recker has turned into matpat XD

I would go NUTS if there was a castle crashes sequel

Alright, time for my genius to show: The Hatty Crystal theory references that the crystal that is taken from the king and CORRUPTED (keep that in mind) could’ve possessed Furbottoms hat in Battleblock Theatre, causing the hat to be so powerful and have the same mysterious glow as the crystal. Which leads to this: The hat is possessed by a fragment of the crystal, which just so happened to have a bit of the evil Wizard remaining inside of it.

Keep grinding

I always hoped and prayed there would be a troll character in the game. He was my favorite of all time. I'm so sad that he was cut content

About the dead king in the wizard boss fight, I remember hearing a theory that said the wizard was a court wizard for the father of the current king, But the wizard wanted the throne so they rebeled and killed the previous king and claimed his castle turning it into the gem palace ya go to in the final level. Luckily for the kingdom the current king took the crystal and reclaimed the throne before setting up the new castle and throne. The reason for claiming the crystal being that the crystal empowers the evil wizard, so the wizard without the crystal that gave him power schemed and plotted to reclaim it. Though this is just a theory I heard a while ago, it would explain alot of the easter eggs ya see in the evil wizards palace.

I'm new to the seen (Recker got me to download the game) and my theory of the fire demon statue is that it depicts some sort of god and his patrons drees as him like a cult but this is speculation from a newbie

i need to start playing castle crashers again

maybe the scissors on the playstation was “cut content” cause we didn’t have battleblock theater and the necro/king weren’t dlc you unlock them in insane mode on ps3

We see the necromancer and the wizard in lava world, so the destruction could’ve been their doing. This makes a bit more sense when we see the living volcano, presumably brought to life by the necromancer

LFG might be refrencing the CC youtuber LFG

you should've mention piercing lazer that was the band that made the necromancer theme

This gave me more questions than answers💀

No way you just made a iceberg video on one of my favorite games ever

Ye old sidescroller looks like “dad n me”, an old flash game

now there is a playable troll mod

The pink knight is accualy the pet handler, you can see this as when someone playes pink knight, the pet handler is no longer in the pet pllace

The people in xbox beef in LFG posts. I've never seen that in any other game its hilarious. Maybe thats why
