Raidriar (RAID ree ARE), also known as the God King, is the main antagonist of the series. He rules the land t

ogether with a pantheon of seven Deathless, of which he is the leader. He does not live in the castle found in Infinity Blade I, but only comes there when the next descendant of the bloodline is ready to face him.

It is likely that the God-King is Asian or appreciates Asian culture, because he has bamboo floors in his reincarnation temple (as stated in Infinity Blade Awakening), which are commonly used in Asian places.

HistoryEdit

Infinity BladeEdit

The God King is the enemy of the final battle of each Bloodline. He is reborn every time he is destroyed. After obtaining the Infinity Blade, you may access the dungeon, which leads to a Rebirth chamber with several Raidriar "buds" in green tubes, without the Helio Armor shoulder guards.

Infinity Blade: AwakeningEdit

Radriar was reborn in his Seventh Temple of Reincarnation after Siris had defeated him in battle. He claims that he allowed Siris to defeat him. He is referred to as Raidriar by his Devoted (mortals that serve him). Raidriar uses technology, only available to the Deathless, to learn how he lost the duel against Siris. Raidriar learns that the Infinity Blade was not fully activated when he lost, however, it was powerful enough to kill the lesser Deathless that were imprisoned in his dungeon. Raidriar believes that the Infinity Blade may be fully activated now and is terrified by the thought of a true death. Raidriar reviews the video of his duel with Siris and believes that the Worker Of Secrets trained Siris. Raidriar is also intrigued by the identity of a female assassin (Isa) who initially attempts to kill Siris and retrieve the blade.

Raidriar gathers several Dark Knights and sets out to meet with The Worker of Secrets. As Siris learns of the God King's rebirth, he sets out with Isa to find another Deathless, Saydhi, that can help Siris find the Worker of Secrets. After Siris kills Saydhi, he inserts the Infinity blade in a slot similar to the one in Raidriar's dungeon, causing Siris to lose possession of the Infinity Blade, and Raidriar to gain it. He tells Siris of their intertwined past. Siris is actually Ausar, who is Deathless himself.

Infinity Blade IIEdit

At the start of Infinity Blade II, it is revealed that the God King is alive again. He tricks Siris and takes back the Infinity Blade, calling him "Ausar." It is later revealed by the Worker of Secrets that the God King's true name is Raidriar, and Ausar can only free the Worker by trapping Raidriar in his place.

TacticsEdit

Infinity Blade IEdit

Before battling the God King, the player is advised to equip a weapon with the most raw damage they have available to them, as the God King becomes immune to almost all elemental attacks after only a few bloodlines. It's also advised that the player not rush in to fighting him, as his weapon's elemental attack changes often; equip shields that add resistances to those elements. It's also highly advised to have a decent Magic attribute, coupled with a ring with healing properties. And remember to heal fully with a Health Potion.

It's highly advised that the player stick to parrying the God-King's standard attacks, because the small windows from block and dodge breaks won't provide a good opportunity to dish out damage at all. When the God-King gets cut down by 1/3 of his health, he gives you a choice to join him or die. If you choose to serve him by tapping on him, he'll praise you for your wisdom and a secret achievement, 'Not In Kansas' will be unlocked. By tapping on your weapon, he will become angered, and start to attack more aggressively by now using three different fury chains. All can be parried if you know the attack and time the parry well enough, but if you're hard of timing, or even intimidated by a boss titan throwing a fury chain at you, blocking will mostly keep you from physical harm if you don't mind losing at minimum 15 points to your shield endurance. The God King uses horizontal attacks frequently as well, making dodging ineffective. Put simply, stick to parrying as much as possible, and healing whenever needed, will keep you alive through the fight.

After selecting the God King, the player will be taken on to the next bloodline; if he has beaten the God King, the tyrant shall raise his level by 50. However, if the player has lost the battle, the God King shall remain at his current level.

The God King drops a significant (though level-dependant) amount of gold, and a guaranteed item. It should be noted that the God King will rarely drop the Infinity Blade.

Infinity Blade IIEdit

Raidriar fights similar to any other normal-sized enemy, but with faster movements. He also has three unique fury combos, all of which include unblockable moves. It is recommended to parry these combos before he can execute them, if you can. The Vault of Tears update allows Raidriar to fire off light magic much like Saydhi and Thane. You can parry, dodge, or (at a cost to 5 odd units of damage to your shield/two handed weapon) block these attacks.

DialogueEdit

Infinity Blade I
Note: The dialogue of Infinity Blade I is spoken in Pangean.
Prologue
Raidriar: Welcome. It has been many centuries since a mortal has dared challenge me. I commend you for your bravery. Tell me, Hero... what do you call yourself? Siris/First ancestor: I am the voice of freedom - and I will end your tyranny and bring peace to this land! Raidriar: Mwa-ha-ha! A bold reply - and one of the most entertaining I’ve yet heard. You will do nicely. Begin.
Tutorial ends
Raidriar: Enough. You are a cunning warrior, and fight with strength and skill. We have found our catalyst. (summons the Infinity Blade) The Infinity Blade. The god killer. It took me millennia to find this, to unravel its secrets. Finally, after all this time, I can begin ... (stabs Ancestor) Raidriar: The blade has tasted your blood, and now contains your essence, your prowess. Ah... a strong bloodline indeed - your progeny will serve me well. (Talks to The Dark Knight) Continue to seed the legends. Call upon me when the bloodline has matured again, and I will return. In the coming storm, this blade is our only hope of dominion.
Face the God King
Raidriar: Most impressive, you defeated my champions. Now you face the true test. (jumps from his throne) Prepare to meet your doom!
Reduce God King's health by 1/3
Raidriar: Grraah! Of all those who dared to face me, you are the first to prove worthy. So, I offer you a choice, noble warrior - join me, and learn the true meaning of power. You need not perish this day.
Join the God King
Raidriar: Excellent - you have chosen wisely. I was once a mere mortal, as you are now - but as you will come to learn, there are more powerful beings in this world than I. Deathless ones who have grown too powerful, too corrupt - together we will vanquish them all.
Fight the God King
Raidriar: Impudent child! How dare you refuse the will of the Deathless! You will now feel the full power of my wrath!
Defeated by the God King
Raidriar: (knocks Siris back) No mere mortal can defeat one of the Deathless!* (grabs Siris) Had you been a more worthy adversary, you might have made a valuable ally - but no matter. (stabs Siris) Instead, you will serve another purpose. Perhaps your descendants will fare better. Note: If you are defeated at the bottom of the stairs, he does not say the line: "No mere mortal can defeat one of the Deathless!"
Defeat the God King
Raidriar: Gwaugh... Impossible! I am... Immortal...! You... (cough)... you don't know what you've done. This world contains.. far greater danger... than you could imagine. (cough)... They'll be coming for YOU now...

Infinity Blade II
Note: The dialogue of Infinity Blade II is spoken in English.
Tap the obelisk
Raidriar: "Yes, I thought you might fall for that. (Cuts to Raidriar with the Dark Knight) You opened the pathway to my dungeons, after all. I do believe she was planning on taking the sword and betraying me; a pity, but I suppose you did me a favor by killing her." Siris: "I... So you DO still live. Then you know what I am, you sought out my lineage." Raidriar: "Oh, I know what you are, though I'm more and more certain that you do not. (Raises the Infinity Blade) Thank you for returning this to me." Siris: "Give me a sword! Fight me!" Raidriar: "I think not. You... surprised me last time. I don't think I'll put myself in that position again. (Prepares to stab Siris) You really don't know who you are, do you? Ironic; what DID you do to yourself... Ausar?"
Approaching Siris's trap
Raidriar: "So, you return, Ausar. Mwahahaha!" Oh, ever the fool. You won't escape me again. (To his fodder hench-titans) Take him, but be sure to leave the killing blow for MY blade."
After defeating Raidriar's last knight
Raidriar: "I have killed you hundreds of times, but now, finally, you will truly taste DEATH, Ausar!" Siris: "We shall see."
Defeated by Raidriar
Raidriar: (Grabs Siris) "Oh, ever the fool. You won't escape me again." (Stabs Siris and drops him on the ground, afterwards laughing.)
Defeat Raidriar
Raidriar: "You always were... a vile, plotting wretch, Ausar. (Panting) Killing me will not end this, you know..." (Grunting) Siris: "What makes you think I will let you die that easily?" (Knocks Raidrair down with Infinity Blade)

NotesEdit

• In Infinity Blade II's negative bloodlines, Raidriar equips the same gear as in Infinity Blade I. This version of the God King is called the Classic God King.
• In Infinity Blade I, if you choose to join Raidriar, instead of a new bloodline beginning after the credits, you fight him again.
• In the final cutscenes, after defeating Raidriar, Siris approaches his throne. He finds a small electronic device, perhaps a reference to the Apple iPhone. Siris taps it and backs away. Futuristic hologram projectors then protrude from the ceiling and display planet Earth, but with a destroyed moon.
• In Infinity Blade II, Raidriar uses similar armor to the Worker of Secrets - albeit a different color scheme, and a different helmet.
• Raidriar in Infinity Blade I uses a white version of Sunstorm.
• Radriar in IB2 is relatively easier than the Radriar in the original.
• Raidriar is commonly called 'Horseface' (Ironic, why not Rookbane to be called Horseface).

TriviaEdit

• The Nerrix was the God King's blade of choice before he found the Infinity Blade (weapon), as it was seen on the Teaser Trailer of Infinity Blade I.
