Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment - FINAL - Hero's Shade
Re: Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment - Story Finale - Almaz von Almandine Adamant
Pretty sure that the Battletoads are in the PC version now.
Only for Shovel of Hope, of course.
Oh, be sure to get the last skull thing before you start the new challenges!

An interesting note, is that at the end of plague knight's game, there's a scene of Specter Knight flipping out when he finds out that the locket has been stolen, which served as a nice hint to what his storyline was going to be about. The locket has an insteresting through line in all 3 games: Luan Gives it to Donovan, the Ehchantress enchants it to bind him, he uses it to free Reize, it gets stolen by Plague knight and traded to chester who then sells it to Shovel Knight.
Sadly the last expansion will be a prequel, so there will likely be no conclusion to What Happened to the Amulet and Specter Knight's undead state. We might however see what is up with that amulet and how it turns Shield Knight into the enchantress.

The Amulet, as implied at the end of Shovel of Hope, is basically the Tower of Fate's power encapsulated into a miniaturized form. Those who claim the Amulet are instantly corrupted to suit the Tower's needs. In fact, one could argue that this is the reason Donavan slew Luan: He was already being corrupted by its power and lost all sense of reason (Ironically, the slaying of of Luan activated the amulet, but Shield Knight was closer to it, meaning she was the one that became controlled by it). The destruction of the Tower at the end of Shovel of Hope/Plague of Shadows rendered the Amulet's power moot, probably taking it out in the process.
As for Specter Knight's undead state, that is also explained at the end of Shovel of Hope: He's still undead, but no longer bound to the Enchantress. Which is the most anyone can ask for.

Man, I'd feel sad about Specter Knight and all, but the dude brought it all on himself. I mean, he took down his best friend, joined up with evil just to continue existing, and has a darkness gimmick in his stage. That's three strikes, buddy.
And yeah, I'm all caught up on this one. That final boss kind of felt like an afterthought, but The Enchantress fight before that made for a decent fight at least. Yeah, I think I'll say I like the gameplay in this one the most of the three when you aren't getting stuck to walls anyway. Shovel Knight's still good, and Plague's expansion is all right, but this one felt so good in motion.

Calling it "tacked on" is super unfair.
Re: Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment - Story Finale - Almaz von Almandine Adamant
I'm incredibly skeptical of it.

Yes, we do have Battletoads.
And if they didn't have any spooky enemies, they'd be in the title instead!

Re: Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment - Skellington Bone
Isn't Kratos from God of War also fightable? Or is he strictly on console?

I love how much effort they put into the Battletoads battle and then the Kratos one is just this simple, little effort as possible normal fight. Really fits the reverence the characters comparitively deserve.

Hey raocow you forgot to pause while in the battletoads level

Re: Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment - Skellington Bone
Shovel Knight's going to give Ryu a run for his money in about twenty years at this pace in terms of franchises he's fought. Dude shows up in a lot of stuff and has a few others show up in his now.
Re: Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment - Skellington Bone
So after a DKC mine cart level in X4 we get another one in a surprise return of the original Shovel Knight with Battletoads. That was a treat.
Re: Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment - Skellington Bone
raocow, the instructions for the second challenge said to use your feet (walljump) to free the dirt clods, like you finally did for the last one.
Reminded me of Arin from Gamegrumps and his reading comprehension.
