    Head left and destroy the lower dirt block. Jump onto the remaining block, then onto the rising platform. Ride it for gems and jump off.

    Equip the fishing rod near the ladder. Wait for the "!!" above Shovel Knight's head and press B to fish up a Gold Fish (350 gold).
  3. 3

    Carefully navigate lava traps and defeat another jouster before exiting the screen.

  11. 11
    Jump over fireballs or smack them back. Hit the lower left wall for a hidden red gem before climbing the ladder.

  13. 13
    Jump to the higher level for a statue (break head for gems) and a turkey lunch.
  14. 14
    Continue to face a Knight with a sword and shield. Watch for its lunge and use downward strikes.

  16. 16
    Approach another checkpoint. You can use or break it.
  17. 17
    Get the first falling chandelier to fall and defeat the beetle. The chandelier can kill enemies. Get the deposit.
