Complete Part 20 of Shovel Knight Dig, including Knuckler's Quarry, the Black Knight boss fight, and the Hall of Champions entrance.
Walkthrough
- 1After using the airship to reach Armor Outpost, you can obtain a [_MUSIC SHEET_].
- 2Proceed to either the Knuckler's Quarry or the Black Knight fight. This guide will cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) Knuckler's Quarry first.
- 3Enter the Knuckler's Quarry and speak with the NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you) to practice using the Dust Knuckles on dirt.
- 4Cross the lava, using the Dust Knuckles on dirt to reach a [_CHEST_] and the next screen.
- 5Dash through dirt to a platform and continue right.
- 6Drop to the next set of dirt blocks, avoiding lava drips.
- 7Head up quickly and defeat the chemist enemies to protect the dirt.
- 8Use the dirt to reach a pink gem in the upper right, then collect gems below.
- 9Head down and punch through a bubble in the dirt, bouncing off it to reach more dirt and a slime enemy.
- 10Continue down to a [_CHEST_].
- 11Land on a magic pot to the right of the chest, then punch through subsequent dirt blocks to reach bubbles.
- 12Use the bubbles to bounce to safety and hit another [_CHEST_] for a [_MUSIC SHEET_].
- 13Collect all remaining gems on your way out of the area.
- 14Next, prepare for the Black Knight boss fight.
- 15The Black Knight has more health and new moves, including the dangerous Energy Dig.
- 16Be ready to hit projectiles back at him, as he can return them.
- 17His Shovel Swipe is a basic attack.
- 18His Energy Shot can be jumped over or hit back.
- 19His Downward Strikes can be initiated from across the screen; jump and hit him in the air.
- 20The Energy Dig attack involves him digging into the earth and throwing four purple energy balls; use your Phase Locket (an item that grants temporary invincibility) or retreat to avoid them. Do not attempt to hit these back.
- 21After defeating the Black Knight, you will receive gold.
- 22To enter the Hall of Champions, you need 5,000 gold.
- 23PS4 players should note that a hidden element in the Hall of Champions unlocks the hidden Kratos boss fight.
Tips
- Use the bubbles strategically to bounce to safety and collect gems.
- Be prepared for the Black Knight to return projectiles.
- The Phase Locket is useful for avoiding the Energy Dig attack.
