Follow this comprehensive guide to conquer Part 7 of Shovel Knight Dig, detailing enemy strategies, hidden collectibles, and the King Knight boss fight.
Walkthrough
- 1Break through the dirt and kill the jouster. Use the checkpoint and collect the deposit. Check behind curtains for gems. Continue right.
- 2In the open air, face a Griffith. Stay safe from its sine-wave fireballs by standing in specific spots. Wait for an attack, jump the pit, and attack its head between its fireballs. Collect health and gems.
- 3Continue right to another checkpoint. Lure the rats to the left to collect gem rewards. Head right over pits. Draw two more rats to the left, then bounce off their heads to reach the upper walkway and a hidden area.
- 4Kill the beetle and jump down. Jump over the hole in the floor covered by a banner to get a gem. Defeat the two magicians. Climb the ladder to the right for gems, and hit the right wall for a hidden red gem. Below, a long banner hides a wall. Take the upper path, break dirt blocks, and kill a beetle to reach a magician and a chest. Loot the chest. Hit the right wall up top for hidden red gems. Return to the previous screen, drop down, and take the lower path. Break dirt and find gems behind three banners.
- 5In the new screen, ride the chandelier down and jump right for gems. Go down and defeat jousters. Hit the left wall up above for a red gem. Grab the gem by the pit if possible. Below, defeat a knight on a dirt bed. Smack the deposit off the right wall before fighting. Break all dirt for gems. After the knight is dead, break the lower right wall for a hidden gem.
- 6You'll reach another checkpoint. You can break it for gems, but consider saving it for a tricky jump ahead. Hit the left wall below for gems and a hidden room. Enter the hidden room. You can break the statue. Ride the circling platforms with scattered gems, avoiding the two rats, to collect the Music Sheet. Return to the previous screen.
- 7Hit the giant book (bounce off the top) to create magical platforms. Use them to continue. In the next screen, find another book and a pit with sparkles for fishing.
- 8Fish in the pit to pull up a fish offering a chance for a Troupfle Fish (possibly an Ichor of Boldness).
- 9Jump on the book and cross the platforms. Bounce on the book until ready to cross fire traps. Hit the next book and cross a pit. Bounce on the next book until ready to pass more fire traps. Jump quickly from a one-space book to a ladder and up to safety.
- 10Beware of chandeliers. Gather food and gem deposit, then head right. Defeat another Griffin to the right of the left wall. Continue on to face the boss.
Boss Battle - King Knight
Strategy:
- King Knight is a good first boss, not too hard to damage and with dodge-able attacks.
- Get off multiple hits, especially 3+ bouncing attacks before and after his dash, and during his trumpet attack.
- Spam the Flare Wand when King Knight is out of reach due to his dash attack.
- Use a health chalice if you get low on health.
Tips
- When King Knight jumps twice, run under them. If he pauses on the second jump to slam his scepter, jump to avoid being stunned.
