The **Garden Knight** is the (typical) second [boss](https://tunic.wiki/books/creatures/chapter/bosses) of *Tunic*. It is encountered in the [West Garden](https://tunic.wiki/books/locations/page/west-garden), guarding the Western Bell.

### Appearance

The Garden Knight is shaped similar to the Eyes of The Far Shore. It wields a large sword which doubles as a shotgun.

### Plot

The Garden Knight is stated to be a palace guard by a [fox ghost](https://tunic.wiki/books/creatures/page/fox-ghost). Corpses of Garden Knights are found in the West Garden and the [Swamp](https://tunic.wiki/books/locations/page/swamp).

### Strategy

The player should acquire at least a few upgrades before fighting the Garden Knight. They should also acquire the Magic Dagger.

### Trivia

- The Garden Knight is internally referred to as `tunic_knight` and as `techknight`.
- There is cut content for a Void Garden Knight fight.<sup>[\[1\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0NWVYhc7Ko)</sup> The initial idea during development was to traverse the West Garden backwards during the night and to fight the Void Garden Knight at the end of it, but the boss idea did not properly come together, and the strict pathing did not seem like a good idea either,<sup>[\[2\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixuteVBMx0s&t=6951s)</sup> so the boss was cut.
