I did so many runs of this game and didn't realize you needed to get the owl down there with you for the true ending. I just thought you needed to beat all knights (in multiple playthroughs).
So basically the timeline goes: Dig Specter of Tormet flashback King of Cards Specter of Torment up to the final boss Showdown Specter of Torment Final boss and ending Shovel of Hope/Plague of Shadows start Pocket Dungeon Shovel of Hope/Plague of Shadows ending
Ok so from the events of shovel knight and Spector of torment ,somehow shovel knight and shield knight get separated and a human Spector knight and his friend go looking for the amulet at the same time as shovel knight and shield knight, some how shovel knight doesn't find shield knight but Donovan and his friend do but she's guarding the amulet and during a struggle becomes the enchantress but during this entire story there's no mention of drill knight or his men anywhere,there's not even a slight cameo from either of them. Infact in Spector of torment you see how the enchantress charged Spector knight with finding knights to serve her and none of them from this game are in that game. If you wanted to make this a prequel to the first shovel knight they should have had some connection to Spector knight and his story since canonically Spector knight and his actions turned shield knight evil.
I think it still works as a prequel because all this shows is how the tower of fate appeared and why shovel knight and shield knight decided to claim the amulet. The Donovan and spectre knight storyline still works as they decide to explore the tower of fate because it has appeared from the ground, where they happen to meet shovel and shield knight on their way for the amulet. We don't see scrap knight as their with Chester (which is why there in pocket dungeon however) and the other new characters remain together underground (seemingly?). The only factor that dosent work is Drill Knight as we see him escape, but since he escaped he may be on the run and because he loses when powered up, maybe the enchantress did not see a use in him (looking at how she treats spectre in spectre of torment) Thats my best guess atleast

@@alexbarbosa7046 Think of it like the true final stages in most games. Like Rainbow Palace in Bomberman 64, or Symphony of the Night's Inverted Castle. Fulfill the condition, and you get another level to go through. Since you can only choose one depth in a typical playthrough, I figured it was an analogy that fit.
Also, apparently you can just use three keys on the Triple-Lock and bypass the extension, but if you dismantle the saw without all the crystals, you get a different ending.
Nicely done! It seemed like you got a lot of gastrinomole spawns. Is that just luck, equipment based, or does he always spawn a certain number of times per area/biome? I rarely ever see him despite looking for secret rooms all the time.
19:29 Lucky! That room was a softlock before the patch where they added a block to help reach the exit. If you hadn't been able to bounce out of the room, you'd have been screwed!
@@MegaYoYo Yeah. Not sure how they missed that one but maybe they thought one background object was standable on or they tested with Plume and didn't realise. It was fixed in 1.1 I think. 1.1.3 (hotfix) is still glitchy but less so - worst problems are cogs being destroyed by spikes next to them from offscreen, mainly in first half. Smeltworks is worst offender. I had to do all Feats again due to my Steam problems which was annoying; Pocket Dungeon now syncs Feats for this reason - complaints that Feats don't sync and once earnt, you're locked out of the Steam achievement as it no longer checks. PD has its fair share of glitches too but it's in beta so under constant development.
@@dendx3888 People love Shovel Knight. The fact they made such a good game for both consoles and phones cements them as an amazing dev team! People will eat this up
@@Charlie.G506 I would like to see a 4 player platformer if possible. I know it's a lot to ask for. Maybe the enchantress escapes with the help of a magic based knight. The 4 playable knights could be shovel, shield, raz, and black.

Remember boys and girls, all of this started because of literally an owl
Altius was just chllin'! Shovel Knight is the one who gave him the nudge
@@MegaYoYo this run could never have been without our owl friend though
And a greedy miner.
It was Drill Knight who instigated this whole mess
I did so many runs of this game and didn't realize you needed to get the owl down there with you for the true ending.
I just thought you needed to beat all knights (in multiple playthroughs).
I thought so myself and then I messed around with that owl. Honestly, after thinking about it I prefer the non-canon ending
So basically the timeline goes:
Dig
Specter of Tormet flashback
King of Cards
Specter of Torment up to the final boss
Showdown
Specter of Torment Final boss and ending
Shovel of Hope/Plague of Shadows start
Pocket Dungeon
Shovel of Hope/Plague of Shadows ending
That sounds correct. I haven't played Pocket Dungeon
that was an absolutely crazy run! fantastic job.
This lore sets up nicely for the 1st game.
Everyone know that this not end well,
RÉQUIEM for Shield Knight
I want her to get her own adventure so bad!
We wouldnt have an epic adventure if not.
Finally, the new DLC has out!
Oooohh! Time to start playing again
Interesting ending, guess Shovel Knight's adventures are not over yet.
I wish they did a proper sequel. The latest two have been prequels
Agree, something Shield knight being playable.
@@MegaYoYo I don't think Pocket dungeon is a Prequel. Dig is but the pocket dungeon
@@MetroidDread313 shouldnt we analise the facts before confirming?
This is the prequel to everything in the series

Thats my best guess atleast
aaah, this is another prequel? i thought it will be a sequel : /
how many prequels does shovel knight need 🥱
@@GerardoFirestorm well counting this game and the previous one ,two prequels lol
Pocket Dungeon isn't a prequel
Step 1: Mushroom Mines - Find Altius (1:44)
Step 2: Depth 2 - Jam The Drill Pod (8:59)
Step 3: Depth 2 Extra - Make Your Sacrifices (Depthwide: chambers at 18:10, 23:17, 25:58)
Step 4: Depth 3 - Unlock the Omega Driver (32:13)
Step 5: Depth 3 Extra - Blow Open The Passage (39:39)
Step 6: Drill Knight's Castle - Dismantle The Omega Saw (46:43 is where this task begins. You receive the Driver at the beginning, and must not lose it. Completes at 57:59)
is it not necessary to open the burrow in the magical landfill/hive knight stage? why is it tagged as extra?

Pretty cool game overall!
It's an excellent game!

Yea I think I got super lucky with his spawns. Lately I've been getting runs that have given me 7+ life points
The greatly increase health and turn them into shield one made me invincible
1:09:11 this part of the song BANGS, how is Kaufman this good 😭
That some strong genesis/CPS1 sound right there. I love that mans taste in music
How the hell are we supposed to play this fast?? I have to set it to %70 speed just to be able to actually get anywhere lol
I do got a fast playstyle but a lot of it comes from familiarity
I just have one question; how did Altius become a not-bird man?
19:29 Lucky! That room was a softlock before the patch where they added a block to help reach the exit. If you hadn't been able to bounce out of the room, you'd have been screwed!
Unfortunately I've been softlocked there before. The guy didn't spawn and I was unable to get out of there

@@avengah Those spikes wrecking my cogs is the worst offender in this game. If they can somehow fix that happening offscreen I would be so grateful
27:41 reference or parody of the little mermaid
Good eye
30:30 Any particular reason why you decided against the Brittle Beetle Barbecue and its +20HP?
that just doesn't fit my play style. I already knew I was secure enough and would rather have other stuff boosted.
It's November boys
how do you get extra heart??
You can purchase them or find upgrades that are hidden
ooo a true ending did you say???? more like megafastfast
Mhmmm! It was a great time. Love digging
