Complete Shovel Knight Dig Part 16 walkthrough, including how to get the Alchemys Coin, Music Sheet, and defeat Plague Knight.
Walkthrough
- 1Collect gems and avoid spiked barrels. Use barrels to progress right and defeat the bunny enemy.
- 2Be patient with ramming enemies; observe their patterns before moving.
- 3Near the end of the area, collect gems from a deposit and defeat bunnies.
- 4Go back left slightly to make the bunnies respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death), then use them to jump upward. Destroy the dirt and collect gems.
- 5Bash the right wall to find a hidden room.
- 6Fight the new Green Knight, who uses downward attacks. Try to counter his downward attacks with your own.
- 7After defeating the Green Knight, break the block to find Chester's Vendor Chest.
- 8Chester sells the Alchemys Coin for 3,000 Gold. Purchase and use it on creatures to turn them into gems.
- 9Return to the previous screen and head down.
- 10Encounter a Poison Spider that spits poison. Use the Flare Wand to defeat it.
- 11Heal at the platter and collect gems on the left before proceeding down.
- 12Navigate a challenging area with pits and breakable walls. To get a specific item, you must reach the top of the walls and platforms.
- 13Bounce off slime, then off a raven to reach the ceiling. This is difficult and may require multiple attempts.
- 14Warning: If you fail, the walls may break, preventing a second chance. To retry, intentionally die in a pit to recover your gold and attempt the sequence again.
- 15Once on the ceiling, break the floor to find a Music Sheet.
- 16Defeat the chemist, heal at the platter, and break blocks before continuing.
- 17Face the Master Chemist mini-boss. He throws vials; attack him or use the Flare Wand.
- 18He transforms into a monstrous beast. Stay on the ledge and bounce off him when he approaches. You can jump back to the left ledge or stay near him, but he gains speed.
- 19After defeating the Master Chemist, continue to a new flame pot that spurts flames periodically.
- 20Grab the platter and magic, then fish in the pit for a Troupple Fish and Ichor if needed.
- 21Continue for gems and head up the ladder.
- 22Battle another Green Knight amidst flames. Be wary of the flames during the fight.
- 23After defeating him, time your jumps to fall safely. Use the Phase Locket (a tool that allows temporary intangibility) when landing on the second pot to reach the ladder.
- 24Before going up the ladder, hit the right wall to find a secret room.
- 25Use your Phase Locket to navigate past flame pots from the top and floor, collecting gems and magic on the way to a Chest.
- 26Open the Chest for a large amount of gems. Return to the previous screen and head up.
- 27In the next room, pass flame urns and defeat a bunny.
- 28Bounce off the last rabbit coming at you. Heal at the platter.
- 29Head down past the top urn when safe, then drop down again when safe.
- 30Use the ladder to head up to gems, then time your ascent to the next screen.
- 31Hit the checkpoint (a point where you can respawn if you die).
- 32Defeat a Shovel Knight clone. Hit the left wall for a health platter.
- 33Head left and defeat two more clones. The top one may drop down.
- 34Head right. Wait for a clone to move left before using your spark (a special attack) to kill it.
- 35Continue, knocking a deposit off the wall. Defeat multiple clones to the right.
- 36Walk under the clones; they will thrust downward. Be ready to fight the first one.
- 37The next two clones will jump over pits, falling to their death.
- 38Defeat a spider. Use the Phase Locket if needed.
- 39Kill a clone that drops down. Ride a barrel up, avoiding a chemist. The Phase Locket is helpful here.
- 40Fish in the nearby sparkle for a Gold Fish.
- 41Continue to the screen before the boss. Hit the checkpoint.
- 42Destroy the lower left wall for a full meal platter.
- 43Proceed to the boss battle against Plague Knight.
Tips
- Use the Alchemys Coin to convert enemies into gems for extra profit.
- The Phase Locket is invaluable for navigating hazardous areas with flames and enemies.
- When attempting to reach the ceiling for the Music Sheet, dying intentionally is a viable strategy to reset the environment and recover gold.
- Destroying the checkpoint before the Plague Knight boss fight is recommended if you have two health chalices.
