Welcome to LEGO Creator
Knights’ Kingdom!
Welcome to LEGO Creator Knights’ Kingdom. It’s a fantastical virtual kingdom of
medieval adventure in which you can design worlds full of Knights and baddies,
and see who will win out.
King Leo’s Kingdom is an amazing place with lots of different scenery and
fine castles. It’s a land of peace and plenty but for one problem, evil, Cedric Bull!
Cedric and his gang live in the woods and have been jealous of King Leo for
many years. Cedric wants to take over the Kingdom and make the throne his
own! Ask anyone in King Leo’s Kingdom what they think of that and you’ll see
them shudder at the very thought.

The Knights’ Kingdom
King Leo’s Court
King Leo comes complete with his own special silver
sword. Leo is strong and clever. He always knows how
to handle the trickiest of situations.
Richard the Strong has been one of Leo’s knights for
many years and has served the Kingdom well. His father
was a knight of the Kingdom before him and tales are
still told of his courage. Richard is Leo’s best and
favourite knight. Richard’s best friend is his own
apprentice, John of Mayne.
Queen Leonora likes to advise King Leo on tactics. She
is loved by the people of the Kingdom and does a lot
to help them.
John of Mayne is the son of the nobleman, Sir Arthur and
John grew up with Princess Storm. It was John who
taught the Princess how to use a bow and arrow. She
accidentally hit the blacksmith’s bottom and he couldn’t
walk for a week! John took the blame for her because
he’s secretly in love with the Princess!
Princess Storm is the daughter of Leo and Leonora, and
is very beautiful. She’s a lot like her mother and father,
but does have a bit of a temper, which is how she got
her name! Even Leo couldn’t stop her from joining his
army! She’s very quick with her sword and also makes a
great lookout. She’s often the first to spot the evil
Cedric the Bull.

The Knights’ Kingdom
King Leo’s other soldiers are armed with halberds
(huge axes). Scary!
7
The Knights’ Kingdom
Cedric and his gang
Cedric the Bull is the evil son of a King who lives in a far
off land. He wants a castle of his own, and wants it right
now! He is only happy when he’s winning. Despite his
battleaxe and spear, that’s still not very often!
Some say he only has a silver sword because he envies
Leo’s. Despite a bad temper Cedric is a very good
horseman, and can be a real challenge to Richard. He is
so tough, some say he can even chop wood barehanded!
The Knights’ Kingdom
Weezil was found in a basket in the forest and Cedric has
raised him as his own son. He’s most at home in the forest
and can find a trail anywhere even in the dark. He’s quite
sneaky and thanks to Weezil, no one ever knows where
Cedric’s men are hidden.
Cedric’s Soldiers have been taught to use their crossbows
by Weezil – so be careful!
Gilbert the Bad is an expert on attacking castles,
and building amazing siege engines. He’s never happier
than when one of his cunning attacks works out. Cedric
would be lost without Gilbert!

Starting LEGO Creator
Knights’ Kingdom
To run LEGO Creator Knights' Kingdom, do one of the following:
Starting LEGO Creator Knights’ Kingdom
Leaving the game completely
• Click on the Knights’ shield on the desktop;
• Choose Start>Programs>LEGO Media>Constructive>LEGO Creator Knights’
Kingdom.
Just click ‘Quit’!
The LEGO Creator Knights’ Kingdom CD must be present in your CD Drive to run
the game.
You might want to ask a grown-up for help during this bit!
Note: You can skip the LEGO Creator Knights' Kingdom video by pressing
the spacebar.
Four options are available, which allow you to tailor the game to suit your
system. Once selected, the game remembers your settings, and uses them again
the next time you play.
Options
Adding and choosing a player
Detail Level
The first time that you play, click on the
character at the top of the screen, the one
with the empty space next to it. Type your
name into the space. Click the Tick button
to go to the menu. When you start playing,
you’ll go straight to the challenges set by
Richard the Strong!
Selecting the brick on the right will give you the highest level of
detail - game objects will look more like real LEGO but may run
slower depending on the power of your computer. If the game
runs too slowly, select one of the less detailed bricks to the left.
Hardware Acceleration
Next time you play, your name will already
be recorded, so just click the character
next to your name and then the Tick
button to start. You can always come back
to this screen to add or remove a player at
any time.
If your computer has a graphics card that provides 3D
hardware acceleration click the right-hand button. If not, or if
you then experience display problems in the game, click the
picture of the computer (the left-hand button).
Hints and Tips
Letting someone else play
10
Instead of clicking on the face next to
your name, you’ll find a new blank
space in which you can type the
name of the new player. Then click
the Tick button. Each player can save
his or her own separate models and
Worlds. You can always come back to
this screen to change the player.
When you start the game, Richard the Strong will automatically
give you help and advice during the game. If you wish to turn
this help off, then click the right-hand button.
Music
When you want to play quietly, this option lets you turn
off the music that can be heard as you play.
11
The Six Challenges of Knighthood
When you first start the game, Richard the Strong has set some challenges that
you must complete to open up the full power of LEGO Creator Knights’
Kingdom. When you start LEGO Creator Knights’ Kingdom you are an
Apprentice. Only after completing the first four challenges will you become a
Soldier and you must successfully complete all six to become a Knight!
When you become a Soldier you will be able to choose from lots of different
Worlds and use all the models available, to make and save your own Worlds.
You’ll also be able to enter the Workshop, where you can complete the last two
challenges and build with individual LEGO bricks!
The LEGO World Challenges
Challenge 1: Meet the King and visit the castle
Learn to move around in the LEGO World and make things happen. Can you
open the drawbridge?
The Six Challenges of Knighthood
The Workshop Challenges
When you feel ready, you can try the last two challenges. These are in the
Workshop where you can make your very own models! If you succeed, you’ll
become a Knight and all the power of the Kingdom will become yours to enjoy!
Challenge 5: A new home for Cedric
As well as the ready-built models you can make your own in the Workshop.
How about a jail for Cedric?
Challenge 6: Guards!
It’s no help having Cedric roaming the Kingdom with a fine jail still sitting in
your Workshop! Finish off the Workshop and place the jail into the World.
“You may want to build your skills as a Soldier before tackling the last
two challenges for Knighthood. Good Luck!”
Challenge 2: Extra defences
Add parts to the castle and your 3D world. You’ll soon be building your own
castles if you can meet the challenge!
Challenge 3: When walls are not enough
Add a cannon to keep Cedric at bay! The challenge is not just to find one, but
to lift it onto the ramparts.
Challenge 4: Under attack
Defeat Cedric to become a Soldier and earn the freedom to explore the
World. You can now make other models come to life.

Choosing ready made Worlds
You’ll only be able to choose Worlds when
you’ve become a Soldier in King Leo’s
court, and that means completing the first
four challenges! Thereafter, when you click
Start you’ll see this screen and be able to
choose the World you want to play with.
Choosing Worlds you’ve made yourself

forever!”
To play in a World that you saved earlier, click on the blue tab - you’ll see
pictures of all of your own Worlds. Click on the one in which you would like to
play and then click on the Tick!

The LEGO World
Asking Richard the Strong for Help
This is the LEGO World.
The panel on the left of the screen is the
Model Bucket, which is full of minifigures,
animals and models that you can add to
the World we are looking at.
You can make a complete World of your
own, putting together the models we’ve
built for you, as well as your own models
that you’ve made in the Workshop.
The big red panel at the bottom of the
screen helps you move about and look at
the World from different angles.
We’ll explain what everything does in a moment but we should first take a look
at a special panel called ‘The Toolbar’
The Toolbar
When you select a model in your LEGO World, these buttons allow you to
change it – move it around, turn it, change its colour or even get rid of it
altogether! You can only do one thing to a model at any time so if you click on
any one of these buttons the others will automatically switch off for you. The
tool you have chosen will be marked by a red box, and your cursor will change
to match the selected button. Of course you’ll have to remember to choose
another button on this Toolbar when you want to do something else!
Moving Around Your LEGO World
You’ll need to move around your LEGO World for lots
of reasons; you’ll need to look around your models
when you’re building them… and you need to keep
an eye out for Cedric the Bull!
Moving forwards, backwards and sideways
• To move forward in your LEGO World, move your pointer to the top edge of
your screen.
• To move backwards, move your pointer to the bottom edge of your screen.
• To move to the left, move your pointer to the left edge of your screen.
• To move to the right, move your pointer to the right edge of your screen.
The mouse pointer will change to a big arrow when you put it in the right
position. This way of moving around only works in the main LEGO World, and not
in the Workshop.
Moving around in a circle and looking from above
The Workshop
16
“Don’t worry if you ever feel unsure about what a button does just click on the picture of me in the bottom right hand corner of
the screen, then on the button, and I’ll tell you all about it!”
This is the Workshop, where you can
make your own models. It looks
very like the LEGO World doesn’t it?
Here you can make models out of
individual LEGO bricks. Can you see
the bricks in the panel on the left?
This is the Brick Bucket, (just like
the Model Bucket but with
bricks instead!)
You can see the Toolbar again, and
the movement controls, which are
very like those in the LEGO World.
• Look for the ball with arrows on it
• Click on the middle of the ball with your left mouse
button.
• Hold your finger on the mouse button.
• Drag the middle of the ball around.
You can move in a big circle or you can look down on the World from
above. See how the ball rolls around when you click and drag it?

Zooming in and out
Moving closer to things
You can move closer to things in your LEGO World by clicking on the
Zoom In button. Keep your finger on the left mouse button to move
closer more quickly.
Moving further away from things
You can move further away too. Just click on this Zoom Out button.
Keep your finger on the left mouse button to move further away
more quickly.
Playing in the LEGO World
The Model Bucket has six sections to make it easier to find things. Click one of
these buttons to show the models.

Your own models.
Centering your viewpoint on a model
Bringing a model into your World
• Just click on this button. The cursor will change to a target.
• Now click on something that you want to see in the centre of
your view.
This button is only available in the main LEGO World and not in the Workshop.
• Click on your chosen model with your left mouse button and hold the
button down.
• Drag the mouse pointer into the World without letting go of the mouse button
- after a moment you’ll see an outline of the model following your mouse.
• Make sure that you can see the line before you take your finger off the
mouse button.
• Let go of the mouse button when the model is where you want it to be.
The Model Bucket
Inside the Model Bucket are lots of ready-made models, as well as
any models that you’ve made in the Workshop. If you can’t see
your Model Bucket on the left side of the screen, click this button
to show it.
18
That’s it: the model is now in your LEGO World!
“If the white outline doesn’t appear where you are trying to place
the model, it may be that there’s just not enough space there! Try
moving the pointer somewhere with more room. Once your
model is in the World it’s much easier to change its position.
There are all sorts of models that you can choose. You need
to use the towers, walls and cannons to help me to keep the castle safe.
Click the arrow at the bottom of the Brick Bucket to see models that might
19
be hidden from view”.
Playing in the LEGO World
Moving models backwards, forwards and sideways
• Click the Move Models button.
• Click on the model you want to move with your left mouse
button and hold the button down.
• Drag the mouse pointer without letting go of the mouse button.
• When the model is positioned where you want it, just let go of the mouse button.
If the outline disappears, it means there’s not enough space there to place the
model. Try moving the mouse pointer to a more open area. You can always
adjust the position once the model is placed.
“If something is in the way, you can keep dragging the mouse until it
reaches clear space again – the model you are moving will now pop
straight through to the other side! Try moving my friend John of
Mayne into position to fight the dastardly Weezil”.
Moving models up and down
You need to move models up and down to put one model on top
of another.
• Click on the Move Models button.
• Click on the model you want to lift up or put down and keep the mouse
button pressed down.
• Hold down the CTRL button on your keyboard
• Now move your mouse up and down.
20
Playing in the LEGO World
Some models will magically snap together when you line them up and drop one
on to the other!
“Can you see the shadow underneath the model? You can use this
shadow to tell when models in the air are lined up with other
models underneath them. Now you can put models on top of each
other. Remember to use the shadow to tell when the models are
lined up. Try putting the castle keep on top of the castle base. Or
you could put a turret with crossbows on top of a tower. Then you can shoot at
Cedric the Bull!”
Selecting and moving individual models
To select an individual model:
• Click on the Move Models button
• Put your finger on the ALT key on your keyboard and hold it down.
• Click on the model you want to move.
• Hold down the left mouse button and drag the model to where
you want to position it.
• Let go of the ALT key when you want to place the model.
“The ALT key is also in the bottom left corner of the keyboard,
near the CTRL key”.
Turning models
• Click on the Turn Models button.
• Click on the model you want to turn with your left mouse button.
• Keep clicking on the model until you’ve turned it around as much
as you want to.
“You can use this to turn walls around when you’re building
a castle for King Leo to live in. Or you can turn the catapult
around to throw boulders at Cedric the Bull!”

Removing models
“You can paint your models in bright colours so everyone in the
castle can be proud of them. King Leo likes everything to look
splendid. In the Workshop you’ll even get transparent colours!”
Sometimes you’ll want to remove a model from your LEGO World.
• Click on the Dustbin
• Click on any model that you want to remove from your LEGO
World. The model disappears.
“The mouse pointer will stay as a Dustbin until you click another
button in the toolbar. So be careful; if you don’t click on another
button, you’ll keep deleting any models that you click!
Don’t worry though, you can always bring your model back from
the Model Bucket if you need it!”
Making things happen!
All sorts of things in your LEGO World can move, fly, shoot things and drive
around. Your LEGO World gets really exciting when everything starts happening!
Here are three ways you can get things moving:
Action
Painting
You can make your LEGO World look much more interesting by painting the ready
made models, and even single bricks when you’re building in the Workshop
(enter the Workshop as described on page 30).
• First you need to click on the Paint button, which
makes the Paint Palette appear.
• Click the colour with which you want to paint.
(The colour with which you’re painting is marked by a little paintbrush)
Some of the models in the LEGO World can do amazing things when you click
on them. For instance, you can make drawbridges and doors open and close,
or make Destructa bricks explode.
• Click on the Action button. You can make some of the models
do clever things, just by clicking on them!
• When you move the mouse pointer over these special models, it
will show a white outline.
• Click on a model to make it do something.
“Try clicking on Destructa bricks and watch them explode!”
• If you are in the LEGO World, click on a section of your model with your left
mouse button to change its colour. All the bricks of that colour in the model
will be painted with the new colour.
• If you are in the LEGO Workshop, click on any individual bricks that you want
to paint.

Pilot
You can makes things like minifigures
and vehicles move around in your
LEGO World.
This is really exciting! If a minifigure, animal or vehicle is moving, you can follow
it around - or even better, take control of the minifigure and see how it views
your LEGO World, or even ride inside a vehicle.
You can see which things will move
because the path that they follow is
shown on the screen like this:
• Click on the Pilot button.
• Click on a model or minifigure that
shows a path, like King Leo, left.
(Models that you can pilot will show
a white outline when the mouse
pointer moves over them.)
• Just click on the Play button. All of the models with paths will
start moving!
• Click on the button again to stop everything.
You can also make these moving models follow the dirt tracks.
• Bring a dirt track piece into your World from the Scenery section of the
Model Bucket.
• If you’ve still got the Play button on, click on it to stop things moving.
• Click on the model with the right mouse button and next time you click on the
Play button the model will follow the track. (If it’s not on a track to start with
it will head to the nearest one).
• To make the model return to its path, click the Play button again to turn it off
and click the model with the right mouse button again.
“Take a tip from me: It’s easier to stop the models moving before
you try to build in your LEGO World”.
These buttons will appear:
In this example, the top button is lit, which shows that you are
following the model from just behind.
Try clicking the lower button to see the World from inside the
model, or to actually become the minifigure!
You can use your keyboard arrows, or a joystick to steer the model and make it
do things!
Press the spacebar on your keyboard or the fire-button on the joystick to see what
happens on the model. To switch from keyboard control to joystick control, just
click the fire button on the joystick. To switch back to keyboard, just press a key.
“If the model isn’t moving around, remember to click on
the Play button!
24
Try clicking on Weezil and shoot his crossbow”.

Making your own models
Click the Hammer button to enter the Workshop, where you can
make your own models. Don’t forget that when you enter for the first
time, you’ll have to complete two challenges to become a Knight and
to open all of the features that are available in the Workshop.
The Brick Bucket
You can’t make your own models without some LEGO bricks, now, can you? So
first we need to show you how to get bricks onto the Workshop mat.
The Brick Bucket contains all the bricks you can use in the Workshop. There are
just too many to list, but there are some that will do clever things when you put
them into the LEGO World. Just click the Action button, and click on the brick
to see what it does.
You can choose different types of bricks to bring into your Workshop by clicking
the buttons at the top of the Brick Bucket.
We’ve sorted the Brick Bucket into easy sections. Each button represents
different types of brick:
Basic Bricks
Plates
Cylinders
Windows, Doors
and Fences
Wedge Bricks
Arches
Castle Components
Tiles
Accessories
For example, if you click on the Basic Bricks button you will see all the
basic LEGO bricks that are available in the Brick Bucket.
If you click on the Windows, Doors and Fences button you will see all of
the windows, doors and fences with which you can build.
Getting bricks from the Brick Bucket
• Click on the brick you want with your left mouse button and hold the
button down.
• Drag the mouse pointer onto the Workshop mat without letting go of the
mouse button (you’ll see an outline of the brick following your mouse).
• Let go of the mouse button when the brick is where you want it.
• The brick is now on your Workshop mat, and can be moved and changed
using the Toolbar buttons
“Click the arrow at the bottom of the Brick Bucket to see
bricks that might be hidden from view”.

Can you see the shadow underneath the brick? You can use this shadow to tell
when bricks are above the mat and when they’re lined up with bricks below.

Turning bricks
• Click on the Turn Bricks button.
• Click on the brick you want to turn with your left mouse button.
• Keep clicking on the brick until you’ve turned it around as much as
you want to.
Removing bricks
• Click on the Remove Bricks button – the one that looks like a

depending on how the bricks are joined. Look at the white outline
before you delete – whatever is outlined will be deleted.
“The mouse pointer will remain as a dustbin until you click another
button in the toolbar. So be careful; if you don’t click on another
button, you’ll keep deleting any bricks that you click on!
If you delete a brick by accident, just bring a new one from the
Brick Bucket!”

“When you copy bricks like this they just float above one another.
You need to put your finger on the CTRL button and drag the brick
down on to the one below with your mouse”.
Sweeping the Workshop mat clean
Click on this Clear Mat button. All of the bricks on your Workshop mat
will disappear.
“This clears away all of the bricks on the Workshop mat. Make sure
you’ve saved your model first if you want to keep it! Otherwise it
will be swept away forever!”
Saving your model
You can save your model when you’ve
finished building it. When you’ve done
this you can put the model into your
LEGO World.
You can copy bricks when you’re building your model. This means you can pile
identical bricks on top of each other without having to get a new brick out of the
Brick Bucket each time.

Cool Models
Minifigures and Animals
All of King Leo’s Court and all Cedric’s men can be found in the Model Bucket
carrying lots of different shields and other items.
If you want a minifigure to walk about choose ones that are holding something
as the others are made to stand still
“If a minifigure isn’t holding anything they’ll stand still but might
still do something if you click them (after clicking the
Action button)! If they are holding a sword when you click
them—well, you’d better duck!”
Of course Benjamin Bones ignores all this, he isn’t holding anything but he likes
to rattle about anyway!
If you can see the outline of a path below any models and minifigures, they will
move about when the Play button is pressed.
Cool Models
There’s also some equipment for jousting - a pavilion for the King and a Quintain
(a spinning contraption for Knights to practice their jousting). Perhaps Gilbert
would accept a challenge from Richard the Strong. Don’t forget the dragons - a
friendly green one and nasty black one.
There’s plenty of scenery too, like trees and flowers. They’re perfect for Cedric to
hide behind when he’s planning an ambush!
Last but not least, there are the famous LEGO Destructa bricks. They’re the ones
marked with a stick of dynamite. The flat, white bricks explode if a model or
minifigure gets near. The white cylinder explodes
if something bumps into it. The chest
explodes when you open it – click on
it at your peril! Clicking on the barrel
sets the timer…tick…tick…tick…
Other Models
There are lots of exciting models that you can build with in the Model Bucket.
The most important is the castle base (called a ‘Motte’), which has a working
drawbridge. You can build a castle for King Leo to live in just by adding towers
and walls. There are towers that contain catapults and crossbows, tall towers,
short towers, even a tower specially designed for King Leo to show off his
sword. There are towers with iron bars for keeping treasure in and Weezil out!
And there’s a prison too, just waiting for Cedric.
Of course, Cedric isn’t that easy to catch. He’s got some defences of his
own - bridges that tip, cannons, catapults, spinning axes and even a cart that
shoots fire!
