~ Plague Knight |
Background
Plague Knight is one of eight knights of the Order of No Quarter who serves the Enchantress and is a master alchemist. His lair is the Explodatorium. He is also the protagonist of Plague of Shadows, in which he seeks to craft the Ultimate Potion from the Essence of the Order's members.
This dropdown contains the synopsis of Plague Knight's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise! |
---|
In Plague of Shadows, Plague Knight reveals his true purpose in joining the Order of no Quarter: to harvest the Essence of its powerful members. He hopes to accomplish, with the help of his partner in crime Mona, the Serum Supernus, the Ultimate Potion capable of achieving unlimited power and anyone's dreams. For that purpose he has set his real laboratory, the Potionarium, in the Undervillage where his minions and allies alike gather in secret to practice their fringe science. Plague Knight first encounters Black Knight in the Plains who discovered the Alchemist's schemes. He misunderstands Plague Knight's motive as trying to beguile the Magicist with his concoction, then tries to stop him before he can harm the Enchantress. After the battle, Plague Knight later regains his hideout to put his plan into motion, betray and seek the Order's knights and the Enchantress herself. Plague Knight beats his former colleagues one after the other, stealing their Essence after each fight. He eventually runs into Shovel Knight who invaded the Explodatorium. Failing to beat the adventurer at the last minute, the alchemist follows him back to his campsite to steal his Essence, although Plague Knight account on his interactions with Shovel Knight have been noted to be biased and unreliable. As his plan progresses, it becomes evident that Plague Knight attempts to craft the Ultimate Potion in order to woe Mona, unaware of her profound affection towards him. Black Knight's misunderstanding of Plague Knight's motive however leads Mona to quit him. He still caries on with his plan, hoping to be able to change himself through the Ultimate Potion and conquer Mona's heart. Black Knight's encounter at the Tower of Fate confirms Plague Knight to push on for Mona's sake. After a revenge match with all the Knights, the Alchemist beats the Enchantress and acquires her almighty Essence. Black Knight barges in too late with Mona, who reveals her true feelings to Plague Knight before he can make the Serum Supernus. But with the final distillation already on its way, Plague Knight is swept into a mental battle, first to defeat the Plague of Shadows infesting his mind, then his own Corrupted Essence. With the Ultimate Potion stabilized and his mind regained, Plague Knight finally decides to relinquish his wish since Mona already confessed her love to him. He uses the powerful concoction instead to destroy the Tower of Fate in a formidable explosion. In doing so, he frees the Valley from the Enchantress and becomes a hero to its inhabitants. In the ending, Plague Knight is knighted by King Pridemoor. He leaves the management of the Explodatorium to his allies and goes on to exploit his former colleagues. With his new status and wealth, Mona and him are finally free to pursue their crazy experiments in the open. Just after returning from the Tower of Fate, the two alchemists execute a waltz in the Potionarium away from prying eyes.In Specter of Torment, Plague Knight's renown as an alchemist gets the attention of the Enchantress. She entrusts Specter Knight in recruiting him as court alchemist for her plans. In the Explodatorium, the alchemist's lack of interest in that proposition forces Specter Knight to fight him. Plague Knight and his minions join the Tower of Fate after being defeated. While he seems to enjoy the activity in the ranks of the Enchantress, he is in fact plotting to take the Order's Essence for his own plans. In the ending, unbeknownst to the Order, Plague Knight is moving out his laboratory to his secret headquarters outside the Explodatorium. Mona and him are also starting to manifest feelings for each other. He also bows to the Enchantress along his fellow knights, forging the Order of No Quarter. |

Standard Tactics:
Weaknesses:
Note: Do not attempt to scale Shovel Knight to Kratos. Despite being claimed as canon from both parties, their words contradict their games. At the end of God of War 3, Kratos killed the entire pantheon, flooding the earth and killing everyone, if this is canon to Shovel Knight, this implies the world of Shovel Knight is completely destroyed as the events of God of War 3, which wouldn't make sense due to how Kratos acts in Shovel Knight. Along with this, even if he is shown to use weapons from God of War 3, this is a Kratos before the events of the games, as he notes to Athena he is still being tested by the gods, which is a thing that was done all the way back in the first God of War. Along with noting Shovel Knight has the Gods favor, which is something he would not do in God of War 2 and onward where he has broken free from the chains of fate. Along with this, if this was GoW 2 or onward, he would not simply accept the Gods favor one as he detest the Gods after their betrayal in GoW 2. Even if we were to assume this battle was canon, it would be deemed as an outlier due to Shovel Knight and those comparable to him being threatened and harmed by lesser feats much after the battle against Kratos.
