False Kings' Keep

Map of "False Kings' Keep"

**False Kings' Keep** is the third area in the Main Babe map of Jump King. It is below the area of Bargainburg, and above Colossal Drain. The area consists of 4 screens and houses a two jumps where missing them can result in heavy progress loss, falling back to the fourth or fifth screen of the previous area, Colossal Drain.

## Overview

### Appearance

The keep is located on the right side of each screen, with an open space to the left that also includes a few platforms. The keep itself is an area with grayish bricks lit up by a few torches and a chandelier found on the second screen of the Keep.

A few gonfalons are found in the keep as well as an emblem of two crossed axes and a shield at the center. On the last screen of Colossal Drain, the base of the keep is shown to be a kitchen containing a few shelves of vegetables and ingredients, including a furnace and a few kitchen tools. On the third screen, a picture is hung on the wall that is faintly lit by the chandelier on the previous screen. The picture itself looks like a pixel version of the Creation of Adam.

### Description

The False King's Keep is what would be considered as the *'soft checkpoint*' for the game, as the structure of this area will prevent you from falling all the way back to the Colossal Drain. However, falling to the left of the area will take you back to the fourth or fifth screen previous area, which will force you to do the cage jumps and the jump entering the keep again.

Unfortunately, it is required that you have to jump out of the keep on the third screen to progress, so you have to risk falling down back to the drain to progress through the area. It is recommended to practice your jumps, only jumping upwards so you are able to gauge the power of your jump to prevent falling down and losing progress. As long as you are able to consistently complete the two jumps going outside and inside the keep, then progression through this area will become significantly easier.

The last screen showcases grey clouds with wide platforms held up by thin lines of bricks that leads you up to the first screen of **Bargainburg**.

In the False Kings' Keep, you can interact with a poem on the first screen of the keep found at the top-left corner on a small platform. It is called the **Jumpers' Poem** and it will trigger every time you encounter it,

## Trivia

* The raven appears on the first screen of the area with the Gold Ring in its mouth, if chased up from the locations in Redcrown Woods and Colossal Drain. It does not carry the ring in its mouth until it reaches this screen.
* The area also houses the notorious jump on the third screen (the rain jump), which forces the player to jump out of the keep to a platform on the left side, and then back into the keep through a higher window. Falling there usually sends the player back to the screens of the Colossal Drain stated in the overview, which makes it one of the first points of possible heavy progress loss for beginning players traversing the area.
* Above where the raven goes to in the first screen is a gargoyle that does noes not appear awake/alive or give any dialogue.
* The area's name is False **Kings'** Keep, not False **King's** Keep, meaning use of the word king in the name is plural.
