A complete walkthrough for Part 28 of Shovel Knight, guiding you through the Flying Machine level, its enemies, secrets, and boss.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by jumping off the jellyfish to a ladder and heading up.
  2. 2
    Jump across falling blue platforms, riding the fourth one down to a ladder.
  3. 3
    Jump into the fan, break the upper-left wall to find a chest.
  4. 4
    Bounce off the jellyfish (when not sparking), land on a blue platform, and jump to a chest. If you miss, go down the ladder and try again.
  5. 5
    Kill the second jellyfish, destroy dirt, and climb the next ladder.
  6. 6
    Defeat the Wind Mage by shooting its green orb. Kill beetles to the left and jump through fake walls, collecting hidden gems. Break the lower-left wall to find a hidden room.
  7. 7
    In the hidden room, collect a Troupple Fish and use fans to kill jellyfish and reach a chest. Return to the previous screen.
  8. 8
    Head up, kill the mage if present, and proceed to the next screen with a constant wind stream to the right.
  9. 9
    Drop down, kill a beetle, break dirt for gems, and break the left wall for more gems.
  10. 10
    Jump off a jellyfish for a higher gem, land by a gem deposit, and kill the hovering propeller knight.
  11. 11
    Bounce off the next jellyfish to an upper-right ledge, grabbing red gems. Collect a pink gem behind a statue. Drop down and proceed to the first checkpoint.
  12. 12
    To the right, fight the Axe Knight, avoiding its long-range attacks and flips.
  13. 13
    In the next screen, follow giant cannonballs to the upper area for a gem deposit. Bounce on small cannonballs to a block of dirt.
  14. 14
    In the next screen, use giant cannonballs. Kill the propeller knight and pass spikes (use Phase Locket if needed). Use alternating upward cannons as platforms to continue down.
  15. 15
    In the room with helicopter rats, kill them and break the dirt block on the far left (behind fake walls) for a gem as you fall.
  16. 16
    Use alternating cannons firing from below to find upper platforms and reach a chest. Break dirt and use cannons to jump left and downward.
  17. 17
    In the dark, large area, an Airship mini-boss will appear. Jump when it slams down, hit its bombs back at it, and attack its side. Repeat until it's defeated.
  18. 18
    Use a cannonball to reach the checkpoint. Break upper and lower walls to the right for a chest and food.
  19. 19
    Use a cannonball to reach a ladder. Near the ledge, use a propeller knight's wind to cross a gap to another ladder.
  20. 20
    Climb the ladder and fall down while pressing RIGHT to reach a window leading to a secret area.
  21. 21
    Head up, collect gems, and watch out for wind streams by spikes.
Tips
  • Use the falling blue platforms carefully; they only last a second.
  • The Wind Mage's orb splits, so position yourself below it to avoid its shots.
  • The propeller knight can blow you off ledges, so be cautious near edges.
  • The Axe Knight has a long reach; fight it in the middle of an area.
  • Use the Phase Locket to bypass spikes if necessary.
  • The Airship mini-boss requires precise timing to hit its bombs back and attack.
  • Look for fake walls to discover hidden areas and gems.
