I warned you to stay away!
~ Black Knight before the final battle with him under The Enchantress' spell.
I can't let go of hope...by now, surely you see who I'm trying to save?
~ Black Knight

Black Knight is a major on-and-off antagonist of the indie game Shovel Knight. He is Shovel Knight's arch-nemesis who initially appears to be an ally to the Enchantress, but is eventually revealed to be trying to save Shield Knight from her spell.

History[]

The Black Knight appears as the first boss in the game, and intends to halt Shovel Knight with force. They fight against each other, and when Shovel Knight wins, Black Knight is forced to retreat. He appears again with the Enchantress, as she invites him to join the Order. He denies this, because he has a mission which is much more important.

She leaves when the Shovel Knight appears again, and they fight again, where Black Knight retreats upon failure. Later, in the Tower of Fate, she tries to convince him to join one last time, but he refuses again. She grows angry, cursing him with a spell to make him a brainwashed minion with great power. Shovel Knight appears, and after a battle, Black Knight is freed by this, and finally says who he's trying to protect. It was the enchantress's true body, Shield Knight, who had been possessed long ago.

Near the end, while Shovel Knight is hurt and Shield Knight holds off The Enchantress' Blast, he appears once again to try to save them both. Shield Knight tells him to carry Shovel Knight and leave. At first, he doesn't want to leave her behind, but she makes him comply, and they leave. Black Knight carries Shovel Knight to the campfire, and after the credits, Shield Knight lays down next to him.

Personality[]

Black Knight is shown to be a rude mirrored version of Shovel Knight who seems to want to one-up him, at first. As the story continues, it is shown that he is a lone wolf, refusing to let anyone else call him a soldier. In the end, though, it is also shown that his only goal was to save Shield Knight herself. He only fought Shovel Knight to protect her, without Shovel Knight knowing the intent. He is a roamer, but has good morals, and works hard to protect.
