Arthur's armor falls away after one hit in Ghosts 'n Goblins (1985), leaving him in his underwear among graveyard monsters. Capcom's knight still throws lances, but the second hit is death, and the graveyard does not apologize.
Both the arcade cabinet and the fierce NES port expect the quest to be beaten twice. A first clear is not the end, and the return trip is part of the design.
The kidnapped princess is the reason Arthur walks into that cemetery. The underwear rule and the second loop are what players mean when they call the NES port fierce.
