Shovel Knight Part 25 covers the Polar Knight and Phantom Striker boss fights. Learn strategies to defeat them and advance.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Defeat Polar Knight. He throws snowballs that can be hit back, broken, or jumped on. When he moves, jump on his head for safe damage.
  2. 2
    When Polar Knight starts digging, spikes will appear. Use the Phase Locket if you have it.
  3. 3
    As Polar Knight loses more health, he will fling smaller snowballs while digging. Focus on defeating him.
  4. 4
    After destroying ground, Polar Knight will jump off-screen and return with icicles that cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) some spikes. Be cautious as they do not cover all spikes.
  5. 5
    After the Polar Knight fight, enjoy a moment of rest. Do not forget to put out the fire before proceeding.
  6. 6
    A new icon will appear on the map, indicating the Phantom Striker.
  7. 7
    Prepare to fight the Phantom Striker, who is a challenging opponent.
  8. 8
    Use the Phase Locket or Chaos Sphere relics if desired; the Phase Locket is particularly effective.
  9. 9
    Dodge the Phantom Striker's 'Lightning Stab' which has good range.
  10. 10
    For 'Lightning Slash', either use the Phase Locket or jump to a high step on either side of the area to avoid the lightning waves.
  11. 11
    When the Phantom Striker uses 'Lightning Orbs', keep moving to dodge the orbs that track your previous position.
  12. 12
    Be aware of the 'Wind Change' move, which can alter wind direction and make dodging difficult.
  13. 13
    After defeating the Phantom Striker, you will earn the "Well Met" Feat.
  14. 14
    Continue onward, spend any accumulated currency, and prepare to face the Tinker Knight in the Clockwork Tower.
