mordred

OK, Cupids. We’ve successfully paired up two Poptropica villains on dates for Valentine’s Day. Director D is taking Betty Jetty to a romantic dinner on the rooftop restaurant in Early Poptropica, and Gretchen Grimlock will be taking the gallant Sir Gawain to the Diner in 24 Carrot Island. But there’s another lonely villain out there, desperately in need of some love and attention this Valentine’s Day. It’s none other than Mordred, the Binary Bard. He’s one of Poptropica’s most popular villains, having won a contest held in 2009 on the official Poptropica Blog. He followed up that win with a second triumph in 2001 when he won the Best Villain Competition, this time in a field of 16 competitors. Of course, success goes to his head easily. It’s that kind of ego that caused Mordred to turn into the Binary Bard and attempt to take over the Kingdom of Arturus in the first place.

What the Binary Bard really needs is a date. Someone to put his 1′s and 0′s in order. It will need to be someone with patience and understanding. It will also help if they’re not turned off by his cyborg plate face and red bionic eye.

So, who can we pair up the Binary Bard with, and where should we send them on a romantic date? The Binary Bard has one and only one costume: his yellow and purple jester suit. It’s an unfortunate combination for a romantic night on the town, but we won’t be talking him into changing. But we can work on his date. What should she wear? Let’s take some votes!

Get into Mordred’s Final Battle

One of the questions I keep seeing in comments here on the blog and in forums everywhere is how to solve the door puzzle at the end of Astro-Knights Island. This is the door where Mordred runs into after he reveals that he is the princess in disguise and takes away all of the special weapons you have gotten. Once you solve the puzzle and go through the door, you can take on Mordred in the final battle and rescue the real princess. But you can’t do that until you solve this puzzle!

There’s a really easy way to do it and all you need to know is the pattern. It’s easiest to assign numbers to each of the puzzle pieces and then click on them in a special order. Here’s a picture that numbers the pieces from 1 to 20.

OK, now that you know the numbers for each of the pieces, click on them in this exact order.


5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16

Congratulations, you’ve solved the puzzle and now are ready to move through the door and into the final room to stop Mordred once and for all!
