Who is Plague Knight? (Shovel Knight)

I wouldn't want Plague Knight treating MY plague!
Well, this is awkward.
Yeah, this is my spooky Halloween Plague Knight "Who Are They?!" edition. Only problem is, it's November 5th. :P
I guess I should have expected that this video would have taken as long as it did to create and edit, and it's my bad for not starting working on this video sooner. But, either way, it's out now, so that's all that matters. I'm going to take this as a learning experience that I have to start these special episodes sooner than later from now on, and I will do my absolute best to not miss any holidays or special days anymore. Anyway, to get onto talking about the video:
I loved Shovel Knight from the moment I first played it. The game might be a little tough and maybe a bit unfair at some points, but it is still a very well-put-together game, and I applaud the hard workers at Yacht Club Games whose amazing work made this game come to fruition! I know it sounds like I'm sponsored or something to say that, but I'm not. They really do seem like cool people, and I love all of their work, so I couldn't help but do a video on one of their characters. The reason I picked Plague Knight, as is said in the video, was because of the recent Plague Of Shadows DLC that was released for Shovel Knight. I initially didn't find Plague Knight too appealing as a character, but once I did the research and worked on this video for who knows how long, he really grew on me. I'd have to say, of all the boss knights, he's definitely one of my favourites. I'll have to wait and see how King Knight and Specter Knight's DLCs turn out, but one thing's for sure, this one's an A+ in my book!

You did him dirty, Plague Knight is a man who loves alchemy and has a lot of followers in a hidden place practicing it, one of them is Mona who is king of his right hand woman, he likes her and is trying to make the ultimate potion "The peak of alchemy" just to impress her and hope she loves him, he is alsos nice taking pity on Baz, and will help others but only if they dont get on his way, he is very capable, shy but still brave if he needs to, he is just too shy for Mona

[@brucesims3255]

I think it is very ironic that I died the most on the plague knight stage than any other

[@luckyglove9396]

Am I the only one who instantly knew the mask and cloak was of a plague doctor? Even specter knight calls him a bringer of death.

[@berto17]

believe me, you were not

[@olivierdubreuil-gagnon2201]

I was surprised to hear some DIDN’T know right away. I thought it was too obvious to not know the reference. Threw me for a loop when that wasn’t the case.

[@mapletreemon4834]

I personally just felt kinda bad for plague knight when I was playing the game...

[@captain_hat6247]

Plague Doctors were not cowardly.

[@ultrapokemon9984]

Plague kingnt is a nice person to play as he seems to be really nice and he was kinged by the king of pride Moore while king knight is washing the floor

[@olivierdubreuil-gagnon2201]

I think you mean “knighted”, not “kinged”. But yeah, he was. He showed valour, bravery, and perseverance in the face of adversity to bring about an evil from within (at least, from the king’s point of view).

[@plagueknight3374]

angry whiskers another reason Plague Knight is sort of a coward is well just try to dance in front of mona

[@plagueknight8026]

Um....... hello there..... Plague Knight? This is weird......

[@plagueknight8026]

...............heh?

[@literallyironcat4423]

Jhat did I miss? TWO PLAUGE KNIGHTS!?!

[@tun4046]

This is a PLAGUE

[@fatmatweedell7747]

hazael augier A *plague* of *PLAGUE KNIGHTS!* Also, I’d like to ask, if Plague Knight and Reaper Knight got *their* DLCs, then who’s next? Propeller Knight? Treasure Knight? *Tinker Knight!?*

[@revoltman-needsmoreclickbait]

“Plague knight is kinda dark” yes you have already told us that specter knight hasn’t come out yet by the time of this video you dont have to say it twise

[@theunknownblock5942]

yacht club teased at the fact that he was inspired by plague doctors, Oolong calls him Doctor Knight

[@Rosie-wj9qr]

after playing with plague knights dlc sprite and comparing it to his original design boss plague knight looks like a fuckin' dork.

[@nolastname2386]

Plague Knight is probably the best character in the Shovel-verse. You might say I had a BLAST playing his campaign.

[@zacheverett-lane2760]

This guy deserves more subs.

[@TheSuperBird2]

It's been awhile since I've looked at your channel but hot damn I'm glad i did

[@AngryWhiskers]

+TheSuperBird2 Awesome! Glad to see you around again. :D

[@mendeta07]

When I first saw the game I thought plague knight was the main villain I was an idiot at that point

[@sorbetsosara]

Love the editing xD

[@AngryWhiskers]

+Oshawott Gaming/Arts Thanks! I tried something new and made the editing in this a tiny bit weirder, so it's good to see that it's still a good job. :P

[@sorbetsosara]

How long did it take to edit this?

[@michaelpeters3632]

+Oshawott Gaming/Arts 24 hours about.

[@sorbetsosara]

Daaaamn

[@AngryWhiskers]

+Oshawott Gaming/Arts Actually, what +Michael Peters said was surprisingly close to how long it actually took. I worked on it for a total of about a week straight, and did a bit of work on it almost every day. So taking into account all of the recording time for game footage, writing of the episode, recording of the script, and the actual editing, I would say this could easily total up to about 20-30 hours total. The editing itself took the longest though, and comprised most of that time.

[@basilnator]

Instructions unclear, clicked Liberty Bell and it cracked, I called tech support and they have been laughing for 3 days, I think they are taking shifts.

[@johnnycenate91]

While he is called Cowardly in the game a few times, To be fair, even if all you're doing is throwing unstable concoctions at them, you gotta have balls of steel to still take on the vast majority of all the hostiles in the game, your own teammates in the Order of No Quarter and even Shovel Knight himself. He's no coward. He's Nuts, but the good kind of nuts.

[@randomtestacoount7366]

Percy somehow catapults Plague Knight into an ocean. Dialogue in the game, It doesn't actually happen, But The dialogue says, SOOOOOOOOOO.......

[@sekaideochiban6660]

I need to find this acoount's password cause I need to expose my old cringy self-

[@prof.korviak3023]

[@itdomatt]

These video are great

[@AngryWhiskers]

+crivids Thanks so much! Also, thanks for coming back again! Glad you're enjoying them. :D

[@ironline6830]

For some reason I've always been drawn to this characters design never played shovel knight but now I might

[@Legally_John]

Years later, Plague Knight started a cult worshipping an entity known as the Moon Lord. (jk)

[@itwillbeindaysthinkaboutthat]

@@shaunbelcher9903 no shit

And then found the disease called Pestilence

[@dude3874]

I like plague knigh too

[@novaa11]

I love Pleg Knight in The Pleg of Shadows

[@AngryWhiskers]

Me too, honestly.

[@wotan.mp44]

[@TheKing-uu7jn]

Specter knight is my fav

[@AngryWhiskers]

Specter Knight stole my only brother and brought him to the shadow realm, so I'm gonna have to actually disagree with you on that one.

[@supn3rd826]

Can you do a who is specter knight

[@glowingjelly2086]

very gud vid m9

[@AngryWhiskers]

thanks m10

[@Vana1307]

HOW were plague doctors cowardly?

[@TheBoiNamedXela]

“Minor boss”

[@AngryWhiskers]

Honestly, that's probably Mole Knight if it were anyone.

[@TheKing-uu7jn]

When are you doing specter knight?

[@AngryWhiskers]

When I am paid to do such a thing.

[@Cubonica]

I am Plague Knight.

[@AngryWhiskers]

Ah, okay, I had my suspicions.

[@ExtraWhiskers]

Plague Knight? More like Plague FRIGHT!! Get it? 'Cuz it's a Hallowee-......uhh, never mind.

[@brenna6010]

+ExtraWhiskers Oh Whiskers, you are adorable.

[@AngryWhiskers]

[@Harrinsain]

ExtraWhiskers single vest worst joke of the year

[@Harrinsain]

I mean best worst

[@CryingZombie666]

hi

[@doktahh6260]

it didnt tell us who he is it was clear that he is a plague doctor but who is he?

[@tun4046]

HE IS PLAGUE KNIGHT

[@AngryWhiskers]

He is a figment of your imagination combined with the programming surrounding you, Max. Wake up, Max. You've been in the self-guided simulation for years, Max. Your family misses you, Max.

[@maverickdarkrath4780]

They weren't cowards...they were cautious scammers ,cant be rich If the pleg gets you

[@lukanovak4595]

l think he is just a plague doctor which for some reason called knight(he doesn't looks like one)

[@AngryWhiskers]

It's seemingly his title in the Order of No Quarter. He was probably knighted by The Enchantress as part of joining said order. Let's be fair, most of the knights in the game aren't very conventionally "knight-like."
