About

Get ready to travel back in time with the family with the first Puy du Fou video game! Everyone knows the legend of King Arthur and his rival, the knight Lancelot du Lac. The latter, eaten away by jealousy, challenges him to a duel. Only Excalibur, the king's sword, breaks at the end of the fight and only the hilt remains. After a pact with Morgana, Arthur decides to throw what's left of Excalibur into troubled waters. But trapped by the fairy, he finds himself a prisoner of the kingdom of Avalon. Merlin the magician, commissioned by his beloved king, is responsible for finding the king's heir who can find the 15 pieces of the legendary sword, and bring King Arthur back from the underworld!
