Malik is the final boss in the Hammerhold DLC in Kingdom Rush: Vengeance, fought in The Grand Arena. Previously a Hero in Kingdom Rush and Kingdom Rush: Origins, he returns to fight against Vez'nan, armed with the Hammer of Ages.

Overview

Wielding the Hammer of Ages, the slave turned king, Malik, has no contempt for contenders to his rule upon Hammerhold's citizens, whose lives he has vowed to protect.

Malik has challenged Vez'nan to a duel in the arena to decide who is the king of Hammerhold. He sits on his throne and taunts the player until the final wave. Once the player reaches the final wave, Malik jumps down onto the battlefield and smashes the ground with his hammer.

As Malik makes his way through the stage, he will summon lighting from the sky to strike the player's units. He will also smash the ground to summon a huge bolt of lightning, which will destroy towers and disable that build spot. As he progresses, he will jump onto different paths, smashing the ground when he lands. When he is defeated, he falls to the ground.
