Shovel Knight Dig - All Bosses w/SECRET BOSS + NORMAL & TRUE Ending

So, you are basically the ONLY person who gets the Secret Ending, and not only did you not show the final boss in the thumbnail, but you didn't even show Tinker or Mole either! You, good sir, deserve respect.

Tinker is in the trailer though, but yeah I agree, I'm glad

Here's the thing though. Even if Tinker and Mole are in the trailer, there are some who avoid trailers to have as little information as possible. So, to some, these two being in the game was probably a huge and welcome surprise.

[@gabrielajanki9167]

I beat the game and got the normal ending, and I was shocked by how conclusive it felt I was curious, so I checked up and found out that the way to get the "true" ending was SUPER convoluted I was thinking to myself "Ok, it must be worth it?" but all it did was confirm my suspicions of the game beng a prequel... as if the normal credits scene didn't confirm that already. And tbh, I think I prefer the "normal" ending. Unlike most fake endings in roguelikes, it's not a _bad_ ending, moreso a "good ending in an alternate universe where the rest of the series didn't happen"... mean, the rest of the Shovel Knight games are swell too, just... knowing what happened here, kinda feels like it's out fault lmao

[@MegaYoYo]

Yea i feel ya. Almost feels like we doomed a lot of characters. It would be nice if the amulet was long lost and no one knew how to access it. To be fair though they found the last part by accident. Shovel and Drill Knight were not looking for that amulet.

[@e_cube4631]

ok but having now seen both endings, i feel like the ‘true’ ending being the prequel to disaster works well with what the game is telling you. if you just stop after getting the normal ending, go on with your day, you don’t awaken anything and the world is ok. but you didn’t do that, you were compelled to keep digging, the promise of more riches makes you, the player, much like drill knight, in search of a greater treasure. i like that the disaster is caused in it’s own way by the player wanting to dig more. listening to that compulsion to do more than just get shovel knight’s own treasure back. it’s so convoluted, you can’t get it by accident, you have to try super hard, many multiples of times, go through hell, all because there’s some inkling theres more to see, more to be unearthed. but if you stopped digging the world would be ok. i don’t think the game is punishing you for looking or anything, the future is set in stone this being a prequel, but the choice to make the game a rogue-like is genius with this very difficult to get true ending being the true start of the end. you have to try to get it, to dig deeper, to be tempted. in that light i love the way they’ve handled the ending

@@bamshablam5977 No point in digging if it doesn't run deep. Considering how Shovel Knight also canonically disrespects his opponents and scums his way through fights he can't win normally according to Plague of Shadows Explodatorium, I would say that it's fair evaluation of the character in general, even if he was _very_ desperate to get Shield Knight back.

[@MegaYoYo]

You know too much.........yes.

[@gravitybeetle4921]

@@MegaYoYo I was able to draw conclusions after playing a few of the Shovel Knight games myself. We know that, shortly after King Knight had become ruler of Pridemoor Keep from the Enchantress, Specter Knight had to pay him one last visit to recruit him into the Order of No Quarter. And, in Specter of Torment, Black Knight recognizes Specter Knight as Donovan through the way he fought. And, from Specter Knight's memories, we know Luan is Black Knight. And in the ending scene for Specter of Torment, Specter Knight reminisces about the locket Black Knight tossed to him over the campfire back when they still knew each other. And, in that same scene, it is revealed that Luan, the Black Knight, is potentially Reize's father. While Plague of Shadows is pretty much just Shovel of Hope seen from Plague Knight's view, it reveals how Chester got his hands on those relics. And last, but not least, during the Liquid Samaurai's adventure in Showdown, it is revealed that all the Liquid Samurai learned of Plague Knight's scheme, since when one of them learns something, they all do.

Ironically the worst ending, since this leads to Shield Knight being possessed, and King Knight being manipulated, and Specter Knight losing his life. The normal ending is the better one lol, it's not like Drill Knight can do anything after it and go down there himself, he clearly didn't know that the amulet was even deeper down. And Shovel Knight had all the gems anyway. As for the process to get here...what the fuck?? Why does it have to be such a long process, with parts that can only be done once, to get the FULL CANON ending of a PREQUEL? Frankly it would have been much better if the true final area and boss just took place after Drill Knight was beaten, I think that would have been better. I love this game, despite the things that hold it back, but I can't help but call that out.

[@MegaYoYo]

Yea I had that inkling of a thought myself. Drill Knight is just a big doofus with a team and eye for treasure, not taking over a kingdom. The true ending, while satisfying, makes me feel like I just set up a bunch of people for disaster. I do have solace in the fact that most of those paths end up turning out fine. The one person who gets real shafted is Specter Knight. That poor guy lost everything

[@DeltaBlazin]

@@MegaYoYo Eh Drill Knight is definitely not a doofus but I see your point.

[@DeltaBlazin]

@@MegaYoYo Yeah Donovan really loses a lot, and who knows if King Knight's family is gonna ever be repaired, thanks to The Enchantress, who you awoken, manipulating him. Literally all the problems in treasure trove would have been avoided with the normal ending, the whole area that leads down would have been plugged up, and even if Drill Knight went back down there, he wouldn't know that the amulet is just underneath him. WE make him find it, which is why the true ending should have just been the only ending, so there's no avoiding it, now that I know this is the true ending, it frankly just makes me not want to get it lol.
