Long before Treasure Trove, Shovel Knight trained in the ways of Shovelry along with his comrades in arms and rivals Black Knight and Polar Knight. He eventually went on his own adventures with his close partner Shield Knight, finding treasures and fighting evil where can be. The pair soon became the most accomplished adventurers in the Valley. In Shovel Knight DIG, his earliest known adventure so far, an unsuspecting Shovel Knight was attacked and knocked away by Drill Knight while he was resting at his campfire. The villainous knight proceeded to steal the Blue Burrower's treasures before making his escape underground. Shovel Knight, alongside his partner Shield Knight, jumped down the hole left by the thief in pursuit, discovering it being connected to a massive pit that extended far, far down into the depths of the Valley's crust, and had to proceed deeper and deeper and confront each of the Hexcavators before he could reclaim his belongings. In the true ending of Shovel Knight DIG, Shovel Knight and Shield Knight confront Drill Kight, along with the rest of the Hexcavators, who were searching the submerged Tower of Fate for a powerful treasure unlike any known to man. This led to the discovery of the Amulet which held the imprisoned Enchantress, who sealed the Hexcavators into gemstones and fused them into a deadly monstrosity. Through the combined efforts of Shovel Knight and Shield Knight, they were able to defeat the Hexcavators and seal the Enchantress yet again. Upon their next adventure, the two knights ventured to the mysterious Tower of Fate in the far ends of the Valley where they sought to destroy the dangerous and evil amulet they previously encountered. Unfortunately, Shovel Knight lagged behind Shield Knight and once he caught up to her, he witnessed her falling down a platform. The catching up Shovel Knight was then caught up in a terrible dark magic, passed out and, while unconscious, was somehow expelled from the Tower. Awakening, he found the structure sealed and impenetrable, and Shield Knight nowhere to be seen. Assuming the worst, the grieving Shovel Knight retired to a solitary farming life beyond the Valley's Plains, exacerbating his rivalry with Black Knight, who came to see him as a coward who was unable to protect their common friend Shield Knight. Eventually, as the rise of The Enchantress and her villainous Order of No Quarter was in full swing, the Blue Borrower heard rumors of the Tower unsealing itself. After an epiphany (revealed in Showdown), Shovel Knight decided to journey back to the Tower of Fate, to discover what really happened to his partner.Shortly before Specter Knight's confrontation with the Enchantress in Specter of Torment, Shovel Knight was sleeping by his campfire when he was trapped by the malicious Mirror of Fate. Confused about suddenly finding himself at the Colosseum, Shovel Knight assumed to be still dreaming, before steeling himself for an upcoming attack from shadowy foes. While proceeding, Shovel Knight has a chance encounter at the Campsite with Shield Knight, who was separated from her evil half by the Mirror's influence. The warrior maiden claims to be the genuine article and warns her former partner of an evil force behind the entrapment of their friends and foes. The Blue Borrower however, completely crushed by his constant nightmares about her apparent demise, assumes for the whole situation to be yet another restless dream. He attacks her in an attempt to vanquish the supposed vile apparition and forces the warrior maiden to defend herself in a match and retreat. He meets with Polar Knight later on at the Grinding Glaciers, who ferociously attacks him to clear his incredulity regarding the world they are trapped in. Reaching the Mirror Chamber after a series of battles with the illusions of the Mirror, Shovel Knight meets again with Polar Knight. Horrified by how his old friend had resolved to blindly follow evil and unable to reach him, he was curb stomped once again by the giant. Shortly after, Shield Knight shows up; after witnessing the way she fought and his encounters with Polar Knight, Shovel Knight finally understands the reality of their situation. Apologizing to each other, the two of them vowed to find a way to exit and reunite. Unfortunately, Shield Knight informs her former adventuring partner that during her battles, she has come to learn that the two of them must battle to attract the Mirror of Fate and eventually shatter it. Although Shovel Knight expresses deep concern about the possibility of not emerging out of the Mirror's world together, Shield Knight reassures him that, should that being the case, they both knew where to start looking. With her heartfelt encouragement the two battles, with Shovel Knight emerging victorious. He then confronts the Mirror of Fate and shatters it, freeing himself from its endless world of battles. Shovel Knight wakes up at his campsite. As he feared, Shield Knight was not with him. Still, now certain that she was still alive, he picks up his Shovel Blade once again and begins his journey to reach the Tower of Fate.In Shovel of Hope, with the power of the Enchantress having already engulfed the Valley, Shovel Knight comes out of his retirement and takes his weapon once more to discover what happened to his partner and along the way bring peace to the lands, beginning his journey towards the Tower of Fate. He has to defy each of the Order's villainous knights, who even managed to sway his old friend Polar Knight in joining their cause, in order to travel through the locked gates, they set to defend their mistress. In his sleep, Shovel Knight is haunted by Shield Knight's tragedy, seeing her falling from the sky while countless foes try to stop him from catching her. He is occasionally defied by his eternal rival Black Knight, who has resolved to defend the Enchantress from anyone and refuses to let him near the Tower of Fate out of spite. After beating the Order and making his way to the Tower's entrance, having figured out the true identity of the sorceress, Shovel Knight makes clear his goal, despite how hopeless returning Shield Knight to normal would seem to be. Shovel Knight defeats the Order of No Quarter once again in a massive Battle Royale at the end of his ascension of the Tower. He then confronts the Enchantress herself in her inner sanctum, who mocks his hopeless quest. Shovel Knight succeeds in beating the sorceress, saving Shield Knight and then fighting alongside her the last shreds of power of the dark witch, the horrible Remnant of Fate. Shovel Knight is however wounded and rendered unconscious by their foe's last attacks while Shield Knight holds back the magical being's relentless assault, and the tower starts to crumble around them. Black Knight, who appeared to help them, listens reluctantly to the warrior maiden and carries Shovel Knight to safety outside the tower. Against all odds Shield Knight, makes it out alive and joins her still unconscious friend to rest beside him, the pair being finally reunited.In Plague of Shadows, a parallel adventure to his own, Shovel Knight appears in the background of the Village and the Armor Outpost, on his quest to defeat the Order of No Quarter. He invades the Explodatorium by the time Plague Knight returns to it, and the two fight out in the alchemist's furthest chamber. According to Plague Knight's biased and unreliable retelling of the events, the alchemist had seemingly defeated him and extracted his Essence, but Shovel Knight discreetly got back up and sucker punched him before he could collect it, unlike Shovel Knight's version where he won squarely. Which either way the events actually happened, later the alchemist followed the adventurer to a campsite and collected his essence while he was asleep. With Plague Knight tracking down and trading Relics, useless to him, with Chester the merchant, it can be gathered that in most stages, save for a few exceptions, Shovel knight was just slightly behind the alchemist in their parallel journeys across the Valley. Shovel Knight reappears in the dining hall of the Tower of Fate and, once again according to Plague Knight's account, he barged in just after Plague Knight only to fall unconscious and waking up only after the alchemist had already finished off his former colleagues, instead of Shovel Knight single-handedly dispatching the never-do-wells. After another battle where Plague Knight had emerged victorious once more, Shovel Knight supposedly sucker punched him again and left, leaving the Order to hang outside the room helplessly. Plague Knight's fight with The Enchantress happened seemingly shortly before Shovel Knight's own struggle with the dark witch, and when the alchemist decided to detonate his Ultimate Potion, the Tower began to crumble, as seen during the final throes of Shovel Knight's battle with the Remnant of Fate. In the credits, Shovel Knight is shown defeating the Liquid Samurais ambushing the Wandering Travellers, joining them for another battle.In the prequel King of Cards, Shovel Knight makes only a brief appearance in the ending, shortly after King Knight had just finished remodeling and claiming Pridemoor Keep as his own, just in time to dethrone the gilded usurper (as seen in Shovel of Hope. In Shovel Knight Dig, an unsuspecting Shovel Knight is attacked and knocked away by Drill Knight while he was resting at a campsite. The villainous knight proceeds to steal the Blue Borrower's treasures before making his escape underground. Shovel Knight jumps down the hole left by the thief in pursuit and must proceed deeper and deeper and confront each of the Hexcavators before he can reclaim his belongings. One day Shovel Knight was blissfully sleeping by his campsite, when suddenly a wrapped gift magically appeared before him. Intrigued, the adventurer checked its contents, finding inside a mysterious puzzle box, the Pocket Dungeon which instantly sucks him inside the artifact. Immediately meeting with Chester and Puzzle Knight, Shovel Knight discovers that others like him had fallen prey to the mysterious object and were trapped within its shifting copies of the Valley's lands. He then sets out to explore its depths while trying to recruit the other trapped Knights to his cause. During the credits, he is shown in two pictures. In the first of them, he runs alongside Shield Knight with his Shovel Blade prepared for attack. In the second picture, he stands next to Shield Knight and behind Polar Knight, trying on a red scarf. At the end of the credits, in the final picture, he rests with Shield Knight on a log at the front of campfire. In the true ending, he and everyone else in the camp escape the collapsing Pocket Dungeon through a portal that appeared after the defeat of the Master Mind. |

Standard Tactics: Shovel Knight will typically use his Shovel Blade and various relics to attack. He also sometimes preforms sneak attacks by playing dead.
Weaknesses: Has a limited supply of magic and only fights when forced to.
Note: Do not attempt to scale Shovel Knight to Kratos. Despite being claimed as canon from both parties, their words contradict their games. To start with, Cory Balrog's statement of it being canon was in a clear joking manner, "He appears on his journey from Greece to Scandinavia. So that was actually a part of the God of War history where he suddenly became 8-bit... it's canon. Wait for the box set". Along with this, it cannot fit anywhere in the timeline Cory notes here as it's meant to take place in between his journey from the Greek Pantheon to the Norse Pantheon. 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, it's noted that their fight takes place in the City of Olympia also, which would not make sense if this is meant to be post God of War 3. This also doesn'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 and even prior in Chains of Olympus where he was 7-A. 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 detests the Gods after their betrayal in GoW 2. Another thing to note is the timeline of events, if this is meant to take place after God of War 3, Kratos would no longer be allied with Athena as their alliance ended after he gave hope to all of humanity, with Kratos still detesting her all the way into God of War (2018). One other point to note is that even in a game like God of War Ragnarok, where Playstation All Stars is treated as canon, Shovel Knight is not once mentioned. 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.
