Learn about Shovel Knight Dig's Blacksmith Shop items like Final Guard and how to defeat the boss Mr. Hat for 5,000 gems.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When at full health (health is your character's life bar), slash to spark the ground.
  2. 2
    Visit the Blacksmith Shop.
  3. 3
    Pay 1,000 Gems to each of three NPCs in the fashion shop to the left.
  4. 4
    The remaining NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you), Mr. Hat, will attack you.
  5. 5
    During the Mr. Hat boss battle, be prepared for his Sword mode (rapier slashes, throwing swords) and Gentleman mode (bouncing, throwing tea plates and cups).
  6. 6
    The Flare Wand relic is recommended for this fight due to its range, but be mindful of swords stuck in the ground.
  7. 7
    After defeating Mr. Hat, you will receive 5,000 Gems.
  8. 8
    Talk to Mr. Hat on the sign outside for an additional 1,000 Gems.
  9. 9
    Find Mr. Hat on the screen to the left in the airship and talk to him again for another 1,000 Gems.
  10. 10
    It is recommended to buy all three shovel abilities and consider purchasing armor such as the Dynamo Mail.
  11. 11
    You can sell music sheets if you need more currency (gold).

Blacksmith Shop Items:

  • Stalwart Plate: 0 Gold (Your original armor)
  • Final Guard: 3,000 Gold (Drop half as much gold when you fall in battle)
  • Conjurer's Coat: 4,000 Gold (Sacrifice some protection for a higher magic limit, and harvest magic from defeated foes)
  • Dynamo Mail: 6,000 Gold (Perform two consecutive shovel drops to unleash a powerful charge slash)
  • Mail of Momentum: 6,000 Gold (Keep your footing when struck by enemies, but stopping may be a problem)
  • Ornate Plate: 8,000 Gold (Flashy! Acrobatic! Useless!)
Tips
  • The Flare Wand is a useful relic against Mr. Hat.
  • You can hit the swords Mr. Hat throws into the ground.
  • You can jump through the tea plates Mr. Hat throws in Gentleman mode.
  • If you have been spending money wisely, you may have enough for armor and shovel abilities after the Mr. Hat fight.
  • You can sell music sheets for more gold.
