Shovel of Hope is a classic game story, Plague of Shadows is a cute romance story from the view of a villain, but Specter of Torment is just plain depressing. He had to forfeit his own life to save the child of his own friend
That's the point. Shovel of Hope was just the original story, while the others took different spins on the world of Shovel Knight. POS is a romance, SOT is a noir prequel, and KOC answers a question. That's just how it works.
This was honestly my favorite campaign, Shovel of Hope was great of course because it was the base game. Plague of Shadows was also great with a huge focus on story and characters but it didn't change that much (aside from a new fighting style, HUB, and final boss). However, this DLC changes so much and it is so different with a super fun and fluid fighting style and new mini-bosses, enemies, levels, and they even gave all the bosses new attacks and phases.
King of cards was my favorite campaigne after I beat it earlier this year. But when I came back to this one for new game plus, it had much more of an effect on me. I love the choice you have for the stages, I love the original tracks, that boss in the lich yard is insane.i also like how they rework the pre existing areas, like having the lost city start above ground, and you're constantly going in and out of ground. It feels even more like mega man than before, as those stages had a lot of locatipn change too, especially mega man x. I really like king of cards too, the more cozy atmosphere, especially the joustus areas you go to in each section of the game. I just prefer the intensity of sot. I will say though, I loved the new area in koc, the troupple area being it's own set of levels. And the bosses are great too 😊
Fun Fact: They planned ahead well with king knight's battle. Notice how he didn't say "Ayo join us" he said "Do your work you lazy boi", which corresponds with king of cards [Which is how he's there to begin with]
When I fought these guys as Specter Knight, I was surprised they had new moves. (More like old moves they didn’t use on Shovel Knight or Plague Knight)
Gavin EOS there's no reason to suspect it's the final boss, it doesn't tell you it's name, so really you're the one spoiling it, by saying it's the final boss.
It's Luan's kid. Friend of Spectre Knight that he promised to protect. The boomerang kid that shovel knight fights. Hmm..well its hard to actually spoil.
35:30 Girl: OMG i think Titanic is the saddest Boy: I don't think i cried on that Girl: I bet you haven't even expressed sadness in your life... *ME: TRUST ME WE HAD!*
HeliosVenomMage64 is seeing the final boss (who you DONT KNOW is the final boss) really the spoiler? They don't know this character's name, they don't know how to fight him, they don't even know he's the final boss, people like YOU are the ones telling them the final boss's name and that he's even the final boss! It doesn't matter, because NO NEW PLAYERS KNOWS ITS THE FINAL BOSS YET! Therefore, it is NOT a spoiler!
@@mr.cup6yearsago211 This comment is a year old, but it's still dumb. Sure, people won't know it is the final boss, but it does spoil the design of the final boss to them, and when they get to the final boss, they will already know what it is because the boss in this thumbnail didn't appear yet.
some pizza guy admittedly, the thumbnail should be changed, but my point still stands. It’s like the trailer for Gunpoint, it has scenes from the final level in it, but nobody complained because they didn’t exactly say “Hey guys! This is a spoiler!”, y’know? I mean, there’s no reason for the thumbnail to be what it is, so it should absolutely be changed, but at the same time, it’s probably not gonna spoil anyone unless veteran players come in and say it’s the final boss *cough cough*
Specter Of Torment is the only time the final boss isn’t the Enchantress in some weird form Also I want to point out for many that Specter Of Torment, And Plague Of Shadows are in fact 100% canon The Enchantress never died in Shovel Of Hope and with all her power she was able to rebuild the Tower Of Fate as we’ve seen before And Specter Of Torment everyone knows is canon, Plague Of Shadows Is canon trust me I can assure you all 4 Campaigns are canon
I thought that the final boss here was cool, but also super easy. The fight with the Enchantress right beforehand was way harder for me. But that actually works with the plot here. The whole idea is that Spectre Knight has a hard time standing up to the Enchantress to break free of service, which is why he has to do missions for her. [Spoilers ahead.] Reize, on the other hand, is supposed to be weaker than Spectre Knight, which is why the Enchantress wanted Spectre Knight's service and not his. I don't know why the Enchantress didn't make Donovan submit to eternal service to begin with when she made him a Lich. Instead she gave him an out if he recruited other knights for her, then took it away using the Reize manipulation after he failed to recruit Black Knight and Phantom Striker. Maybe she was afraid Donovan would choose death if the alternative was unending undead service, or maybe she thought the illusion of hope would motivate him.
@@mr.cup6yearsago211 Its pretty obvious as in both plague and shovel knights campaigns the only new looking boss is the final boss Besides even without knowing i was spoiled by the thumbnail because its so obvious
I’m so good most of the Bosses didn’t even get to pull of any of their new moves, I mean I know they have a random order but they didn’t even have time to pull out the big guns
what thats impossible when the boss gets to a certain point of health they get away from specter to pull out the big guns. even if you do attack them while they are in that phase, it won’t stop them.
@@mystr0696 But if he threw them like in Shovel of Hope, that mean that he made an illusion to make his potions look like the same... What if he lose them when he tested Percy's catapult for the first time ?
This was a time when the knights were untamed. Untamed people are at their prime. Most stories with tamed strong people have most of their strenghts gone.
@@TheBepis1309 No, no, the Phantom Striker has never known Donovan. But Luan has. And since Black Knight recognized Specter Knight as Donovan by his battle style, that proves that Black Knight is Luan.
@@teen17 But the flashback... It showed Luan with Donovan. How could Black Knight have known Donovan back then if he wasn't there? There's no mistaking it! Luan actually escaped his death somehow and became Black Knight!

Comments:thumbnail is spoilers
Me:I love specter knight
Me: OOOOOH. NOW I see why specter knight hates plague knight so much.
You shouldn't put the final boss in the thumbnail, a lot of people don't like getting spoilers.

Yes, as if we didn't only need one plague knight.
I've already beaten this game, but bro, change the thumbnail. No one likes being spoiled.

The funny thing is I didn't even say it was the final boss at the time, lol.
19:02- Phantom Striker stole Specter Knight's Theme!
Actually it's the opposite
Maybe the theme is just “Lich Yard boss” theme
It's actually because you're the boss fight, not phantom striker
Specter Of Torment is the only time the final boss isn’t the Enchantress in some weird form
Also I want to point out for many that Specter Of Torment, And Plague Of Shadows are in fact 100% canon
The Enchantress never died in Shovel Of Hope and with all her power she was able to rebuild the Tower Of Fate as we’ve seen before
And Specter Of Torment everyone knows is canon, Plague Of Shadows Is canon trust me I can assure you all 4 Campaigns are canon
Don't know what you're on, but the locket's power was definitely destroyed at the end of Shovel of Hope

King knights campaign
Plague of shadows happens at the same time as Shovel of hope, you idiot!
Why is the final boss in the thumbnail? I've already beaten it at least 8 times for the feats, but seriously. Spoilers.
Spector Knight looks like Grave Digger
6:25 magic
*HWAZAAA*
Physics.exe has stopped responding. Fix your s***
Treasure Knight running just looks... weird.
I like this game
This game made me happy as a child and now!❤
Its kind of funny how the order of no quarter knights all had cooler fights before joining, i guess the order nerfs your fighting capabilities lol
I agree, the SoT battles are harder but more fun.
Didn't King knight "shred" EVERY joustus card?! 5:53
I suppose he kept some of them
Matthew Toad Those aren’t Joustus cards. Joustus cards are perfectly square-shaped. These are more rectangular like traditional playing cards.
Come on! You could put in literally any other boss other than the final boss! Just put in King Knight or something.
NinjaMaster909 would a new player know it's the final boss? No, they wouldn't, but then you ruined that, good job.
Data Raven It doesn't change the fact that it's a wrong move
come on! you could NOT GET YOUR FUCKING PANTIES IN A TWIST! i swear that would win someone cringiest comment of the day ,oh wait...

16:46 "Aight i'ma head out"
You know the boss is peak wen you start skating with your weapon
This is my fav version
Black knight recognize specter knight as Donavan and the only one at the tower with him is luan that means ?
they knew each other before the tower incident, Luan is dead
I’m so good most of the Bosses didn’t even get to pull of any of their new moves, I mean I know they have a random order but they didn’t even have time to pull out the big guns

Fckng epic
I found somebody who agrees.
Waaaait ! If SoT's is a prequel, then why his bosses are harder ?
SoT is a prequel, this happened before SoH
Take plague knight here for example. He hasn’t got any unique potions, only Vats and the basic bomb from the start of PoS
@@mystr0696 But if he threw them like in Shovel of Hope, that mean that he made an illusion to make his potions look like the same... What if he lose them when he tested Percy's catapult for the first time ?
@@elementmanexe8389 I fixed that ! Thank !
This was a time when the knights were untamed. Untamed people are at their prime. Most stories with tamed strong people have most of their strenghts gone.
There’s no strategy on phantom striker - just more HP. I chose it as the 1st boss and am having trouble.
He was my second boss after king knight. One of the easiest bosses in this campaign.
I feel bad for reize now
Reize is my favorite shovel knight character
The only bad thing about this campaign is the length
Wish it was longer.
THIS SHOULD BE NG+ BOSSES....AT THE SHOVEL KNIGHT CAMPAIGN
Memory of Conflict: no deaths
UM YEAH I DON'T THINK SO
Is it possible that... Black Knight is Luan if Specter Knight is Donovan... And they both know each other...?
Actually... I'm pretty sure Luan is the Phantom Striker.
