How To Attack Portals in Kingdom Two Crowns (2025) - Step by StepTable of Contents
Conquering the Greed in Kingdom Two Crowns is the ultimate challenge for any monarch, and understanding kingdom two crowns cliff portal health is the key to victory. While these formidable structures seem indestructible, they are the final barrier between you and your hard-earned crown’s safety.
Mastering the mechanics of the endgame is essential because, without a plan, you will find your kingdom crumbling under the weight of relentless night waves. This guide explores exactly how to prepare, execute, and survive the final push to destroy the Greed’s lair once and for all.
The Reality of Cliff Portal Health and Destruction
Many new players mistakenly believe that they can chip away at the cliff portals over several days. However, in Kingdom Two Crowns, the cliff portal is not a standard building. Unlike the smaller, lesser portals scattered throughout your islands, the cliff portal acts as a gateway to the final cave system.
According to community reports, you cannot simply damage the cliff portal from the outside to destroy it. Instead, you must use the Bomb unit to enter the cave. The "health" of the portal is essentially tied to your ability to successfully navigate the interior cave system and detonate the bomb at the volcano.

Preparing Your Kingdom for the Endgame
Before you even consider approaching the cliff side, you must have the right technology. You cannot destroy the cave with basic archers or standard squires. You need the Iron technology, which requires the stone mine (Island 2) and the iron mine (Island 4).
Once your Town Center is upgraded to an Iron Keep, you gain access to the Forge. This is where you purchase the Bomb for 18 gold coins. Remember, the bomb is a delicate asset—if you lose your builders, you lose your offensive capability.
Essential Upgrades Checklist
Tip
Prioritize Your Infrastructure
Before attacking, ensure your walls are upgraded to Iron. This allows for the construction of the Forge, which is vital for upgrading squires into knights—the only units capable of protecting your bomb-carrying builders.
The Bomb Strategy: Step-by-Step Execution
When you are ready to initiate the assault, timing is everything. Players often fail because they move the bomb too early in the day or without adequate support.
Clear the Path: Always destroy the smaller portals leading up to the cliff portal first. If you don't, your bomb will be sitting ducks for the Greed spawning from these intermediate gates.
Gold Management: You need at least 5 coins to enter the cave and another 5 to light the fuse. Keep extra gold on hand to restock your knights inside the cave.
The Escort Squad: When you purchase the bomb, your knights will prioritize following you. Ensure your knights are fully stocked with coins so they can absorb hits from Greedlings.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
One of the most frequent complaints from the community is losing the crown during the escape phase. Once you light the fuse inside the volcano, you have a very limited window to run back to the entrance. If you have low stamina on your mount, you will likely be caught by the explosion.
Another common error is failing to manage the "dock side" versus "cliff side" priorities. The game AI tends to prioritize armies on the dock side. You must be proactive in moving your troops to the cliff side before you purchase the bomb.
Warning
The Sacrifice
Be aware that your knights will stay behind inside the cave to ensure your escape. They are heroic, but they will not return. Do not expect to have them back for your next island expansion.
Advanced Tips for Efficient Destruction
To maximize your efficiency, always aim to launch your attack as soon as the previous night's wave has been defeated. This gives you the maximum amount of daylight to move the slow-moving bomb carriage toward the cliff portal.
Consult the official Kingdom Two Crowns Steam page to stay updated on balance patches that may affect unit behavior or portal health mechanics. Keeping your archers stocked and your defenses tight is the only way to ensure your kingdom survives the transition between islands.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the cliff portal regenerate health if I fail the first attempt?
A: No, the damage you deal inside the cave is generally permanent. If you fail to destroy the volcano, any Greed nests you cleared will stay destroyed, making your next attempt significantly easier.
Q: How many knights do I need to safely attack the cliff portal?
A: While you can technically attack with one, it is highly recommended to have at least two to three fully upgraded knights. They act as a damage shield for your bomb-carrying builders.
Q: Can I destroy the cliff portal without the bomb?
A: No. The bomb is a core game mechanic specifically required to enter the cave system. Without it, you cannot interact with the internal Greed nests or the volcano.
Q: What happens if I lose my bomb in the middle of the attack?
A: If the builders carrying the bomb are killed, the bomb will remain where it was dropped. You will need to recruit new builders to pick it up and continue the assault. Always protect your builders at all costs!
