3:02:17 The True Ending rant is so extremely relatable because even in the footage you used from me I lose the big red bomb and only happen to salvage the run out of sheer luck lol.
Great video, by the way :)
Love how everyone headcanons Plague Knight's victory in Plague of Shadows against Shovel Knight never really happened and was actually him making up a story latter. "Um, actually, I defeated him first and he got me when I was distracted!"
Mona: Of course he did, dear.
Yea I just spent 3 hours, 13 minutes, and 35 seconds listening to a guy talk about the entire Shovel Knight franchise. *And I'd do it again.*
Fun fact, if you hit the black hollow stump looking thing in based enough you can find puzzle knight’s secret room that shows a hidden picture of him and his family, and honestly that changed what I thought of puzzle knight playing this game blind and immediately finding it
1:42:24
There are multiple acolytes
The cutscene in specter of torment showed the dark acolyte basically becoming a new recruit
every campaign is so serious and then king of card is just "i want shiny castle >:)"
Im 100% all of the shovel knight DLC right now and I played King Knights right after Specters and jumping from "I will keep my promise, even if I die" to "save my friends? nah" was certainly one of the things ever
I've commented this on another video, but Black Knight's second theme "The Defender" is perfection in a musical and storytelling point.
In Shovel Knight's campaign, Black Knight has been backed into a corner, his last chance to protect Shield Knight by having to reluctantly accept the Enchantress' power, this song is his theme, his determination to protect Shield Knight, but it's Shovel Knight's theme too, his own determination to beat Black Knight and the Enchantress, to save Shield Knight, the epic and triumphant reprise of "Plains of Passage" is proof of that.
In Specter Knight's campaign, Black Knight's motivation is the same, protecting Shield Knight, but now he's facing off against an absolutely furious and vengeful Specter Knight, full of rage at the revelation that the Enchantress is Shield Knight, the one who made him who he is now, who he had to swear undying servitude to, and he absolutely blitzes right through Black Knight to get to her.
But my favorite version of this has to be in Plague Knight's campaign, at this point in Plague Knight's story, he believes that Mona has left him because of whatever lies Black Knight said to her. So now he's even more determined than ever to finish his potion, wholeheartedly believing that if he finishes it, it will make Mona love him again. Not caring what happens as a result of making it, as long as Mona returns to him, but he doesn't realize that she has loved him this whole time. So he smashes through the Tower of Fate entrance, just to find Black Knight, the cause of his misery, waiting for him. Where he then learns that Mona was trying to protect him this whole time. Blinded by his emotions from this revelation, Plague Knight attacks Black Knight relentlessly, he NEEDS to finish this potion now, no matter the cost, and no one will stand in his way.
It isn't Black Knight's theme anymore, it's Plague Knight's.
This was a very well made video. As someone who's obsessed with the Shovel Knight franchise amd has 100% the Treasure Trove and plans on doing so to the two spinoffs when the DLC is finished, this was such a fun video talking about my favorite 3 games of all time (technically 7, technically 8 favorite games of all time)
I have also 100% treasure trove and dig, I highly suggest you do dig first.
I'm honestly shocked you don't have more subs! Shovel Knight was like the first real indie game I played, and it opened up a whole new love for these older style platformers and the like. Gungeon and Isaac hold my heart in their bony fingers, but the hours of Shovel Knight made it all happen. I really hope the algorithm picks you up soon, and I can't wait for more!
Aww thank you so much!
Hell yeah! Im so happy to see this. Ever since I played Shovel of Hope, I was hooked on this series! Im so glad to see a long ass video. I can binge on my favorite game of all time. Mad respect and amazing video.
Brigandine is a real word. It's a type of armour made out of segmented plates and then covered by cloth
2:32:28 ay that’s me! (on the right) loved the vid btw, and props for even covering the board game, and god that script… im so sorry for that haha
I'm aware my scripts suck its cool lmao
oh nono i’m saying i feel sorry you had to write that much, i could never do that myself, but yeah i loved the video! fellow black knight player 🤝
Great video.
Especially because you understand King of Cards is the best one.
In King of Cards, bubblefrog trivializes the final boss. You don't have to worry about falling. Just charge, bubble, charge, bubble.
Wish I thought about that 3 months ago when I recorded this
Plus King of Cards is my favourite campaign.
Another great vid as always!
Thank you the bullet from the video game enter the gungeon 👉👈
This was really high quality. A hidden gem
It is actually confirmed that Plague Knight is an unreliable narrator. There's a handful of things that happen in his campaign that likely don't actually play out the way we see them, mainly things such as:
The Battle Royale Boss Rush at the Tower of Fate (Shovel Knight definitely landed amidst all of them canonically, Plague Knight just being the "main character" there is required for his campaign, also it's up to the Player, but I feel like Shovel Knight would definitely help the Order up)
Beating Shovel Knight at the Explodatorium (Bro took an L and said "Nah I def beat him, trust me")
And a few of the ending scenes, namely (THIS IS PURELY SPECULATION, BUT, YKNOW-) Getting Knighted by King Pridemoore, stealing all of Treasure Knight's gold (Maybe??? He and Mona literally talk about how it's stupid to love gold when you can make it with two simple ingredients), and maaaaybe the Propeller Knight scene??? idk I personally believe that one's real, but the scenes I have a high amount of faith in actually happening are cloning slimes with Mole Knight, Tinker Knight helping with the lifts, giving Percy and the Magicist the Explodatorium, and OF COURSE: Specter Knight cursing Plague and vowing to cut him in half for stealing the locket he was given. In the end, it's up to player's interpretation, but it's for certain that Plague Knight is not the most reliable narrator for how things happened, and also-
The order of the campaigns goes:
King of Cards, Specter of Torment, and then either Plague of Shadows or Shovel of Hope in whatever order you want, personally I play Plague before Shovel, but that's me.
banger video, absolutely love the Scott the woz references
Ah yes, shovel knight most trusted weapon, the desert shovel
Liking the watch test, upload and re-upload, you better feel lucky mr Gaz 😅
Watched zhis Video over the Span of 3 Days Just incredible what you Made. Way too underrated
Female? That’s plague knights boss appearance design. He has a longer cloak and beak, but it was edited for like better hit boxes for his playable appearance
Okay underrated af????
predominantly dig was developed by nitrome and pocket dungeon was done by vine. I do agree with most of the criticisms about dig but I would mostly blame it on nitrome being mobile/flash game devs first
The second you said you had a Gungeon video, I just had to watch it
I'm sleeping good tonight!
You love for the rogue likes is so cool
Why do you not have more subs and likes again??? This video is being amazing till now (and I'm sure it'll deliver till the end), and I agree when you say that Showdown is lackluster. Imo they did what they wanted with the first 4 games and Showdown was just to appeal to those who wanted it. They'll probably do a sequel somewhere in the future, but until them, we can live with the fan made ones in Rivals of Aether.
People also don’t like… phase locket? It’s literally OP. Like it’s just the best relic
Welp, I know what I'm watching for my last weekend day!
Man what is it with me and editing my comment just as I get a heart? 😅
Womp womp no heart for you
@@just-a-guy-dat-loves-Adventure fair nuff 🥲
This video needs more views
Where was this when I was literally looking for a video like this
One thing I noticed about Plague of shadows is that they kinda nerfed the relics… too hard. Like yeah, the invincible amulet was op but like… smoke bomb is utter shit
Scepter of torment is my favorite because it is basically a modernised Mega man zero to me
I got all the achievements and did all the challenges for the main 4, Showdown, Pocket dungeon, but I literally just haven't bought dig and I never plan to, it just didn't look appealing.
2:32:28 Good video (unbiased)
I’ll be honest I genuinely really liked King of Cards final boss, I saw a challenge and I accepted it!
Agreed. I felt a similar level of challenge when I was passing a kidney stone the other day!
@@just-a-guy-dat-loves-Adventure
Simply a skill issue smh /lh/j
Jokes aside though it has been a while since I’ve played King of Cards XD
Who's your favorite knight? Mine's Plague knight
Black Knight
39:47 okay but I as official Scrooge McDuck expert must tell you that the duck will easily 360 noscope Kratos and light purple shovel dude every single day of the week at the same time with his eyes closed.
YOU ARE A FOOL
2:03:40 like scrooge mcduck. Shovel knight is like scrooge. Becasue Scrooge jumping first changes the rotation of the earth. Logic tells that this means that scrooge is more powerful, mostly because taking the fact that Scrooge canonically f*cked very close to the beginning of the 20th century, and as shovel knight came out in 2017, that mwann that 17-20= 67 which is also when scrooge was born, which means that it all leads back to him, which means that shovel knight his powerscaling is not consequantial, because shovels are stuck between temporal time travel, as proven by the law of david tennant. You said it yourself. Scrooge takes this dub.
How do you only have 1.35k subs and make such good vids. What's your secret
Running, screaming, and crying
so based (again)
This video was great but for the love of god its not pronounced Trupple Chalice. The Troupple King literally tells you how it's pronounced and its not like that 😭
(Not a serious complaint just thought it was funny)
41:04
I don’t know why people say mega man is shovel knights primary inspiration when it’s obviously castlevania with mega man second, followed loosely by all other classic 2d platformers
People find king knight hard? I beat him first try and like… I was terrible at the game. Like I must have died 20 times
Amazing video, loved every minute of it!
…but please never sing again
At which part in this did I sing lol? sorry as you can imagine I don't remember everything how about this one
@@just-a-guy-dat-loves-Adventurelol that’s valid it was the lich yard in shovel of hope. also in case it wasn’t obvious it’s a joke and this is one of my favorite videos good job
@@childmanmanboi4916 THATS IT TJANK YOU
