Crap, been through Mole Knight's stage twice and I'm still missing a skull. Not sure how to describe which ones I've already picked up, any skulls that you all missed the first time through that stage?

I still have three bosses to beat in Specter, but whenever Edgelord Reize (probably has an official name but oh well!) is in charge of sending you places just press Select on each area for the description

Find Shovel Knight in the Eshop, make sure it's the download version because they have a patch for physical Shovel Knight that won't do anything if you download it.

Perfect, thank you!

I pretty much just button-mashed my way through the Tinker Knight boss fight in the Specter campaign, holy poo poo. That was total loving chaos.

Also I'm not confident I'll ever beat the climbing mini-game.

It's not in this video but there's a link in the video description showing that I need a certain curio that I do't have in order to pick it the 10th skull. Thanks.

You don't need curios to get that skull, or I think any single thing in the game.

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
For that skull, you can just knock the gel blob to the left, then bounce off it to get enough height to climb the wall near the top. You don't need that curios.

Yeah, basically my favorite part of this DLC is nearly all of the other knights of no-quarter clowning on spectre when they talk to him.

It's nice to know that his dialogue with plague from the first DLC wasn't a one-off.

I've finally knuckled down and I've beaten New Game+, every challenge, and beaten the Shovel Knight amiibo campaign

some of those challenges were loving tough, especially the plague knight ones

Spectre finally came out on Xbone last week and I blasted through all the feats. I love this game.

Just like Plague, at first the controls were baffling but then clicked like 5-10 minutes later, though something about the "stickiness" of the walls always seemed a bit off.

Granted I've probably played the game a good dozen+ times now, but Spectre seemed way easier. His curios are really good, the harder platforming parts of some stages were removed, and the ballbuster of NG+ (boss gauntlet) was gone. You can also beat basically every boss by just jumping at them and spamming attack. Maybe using the will orb at some point.

The story was still cute but the weakest of the bunch. They sort of have this conflict going on with Spectre's tragic backstory but also all the other more charming knights giving him poo poo. I kind of wish they just stuck to the latter. Spectre is just some chump trying to recruit some other jerks and being the straight man to their jokes.

I know it doesn't make sense for Yacht Club but I would 100% play a campaign for every knight. Looking forward to King Knight as he would have been my first choice if I had voted for who gets a campaign.

Also, could someone please tell me

where is the bread?

EU/AU 3DS people, Specter Knight will finally be released this week (June 1).

The Japanese-language Switch version will also be released this week (May 30), in case that's relevant to anyone.

they said they were trying to get them both out for 2016 too, lol

i guess the price increase and selling each campaign separately allowed them to be a little more lax about that
