Rogue Knights bonus confusion.

[Ionizer]

I had quite a bit of trouble with this bonus...

"Find the weak spots in the knights armor and make at least 20 headshot kills."

The problem was I couldn't figure out where the weak spot was, or is. I kept hitting Escape (PC version) to check to see if I got the bonus, but it never checked. I hit the knight all over, both with the ballista and my hero. After probably 15 minutes to random trying I gave up and destroyed the castle, and when the stats screen came up I had the bonus.

The game needs to have some very visible indication that you found the right spot. As it stands there is no way, other than finishing the level to find out if you hit it or not. Unless I am missing something? It's rather confusing.

Great game by the way. I don't go to the trouble of making a forum account and posting unless I like something.

Honestly the bonus is just that. Bonuses. I think having an indicator telling you your progress, it would make the the bonus aspect less fun IMO. Similar thing happened to me in the earlier part of the game where you had to let your army kill 15 enemies. I finally did it after a couple tries by not shooting my ballista so often.

It already gives you a progress indicator for the other levels. It's missing in this one, which is why I brought it up.

Even after getting the bonus I still don't know what I did to get it. Hit him in the back? The head? An arrow to the knee? I am guessing the knee but can't be sure. If it is, it would be a lot funnier if it said something when you did it.

For you, not seeing bonus progress is fun. For me, it would be frustrating trying to count headshots, or worse, other bonus criteria that may not have a visible indicator. The one you mentioned earlier would frustrate me greatly, trying to keep track of how many kills my army got while I was trying to manage taking down the castle and everything else. At least you can always just not look at the stat screen in game if you want that extra challenge.
