The Grizzled Seer in his default color palette.
The Grizzled Seer is a minor character in Shovel Knight. This wise old man seems to know more about Shovel Knight's quest than he lets on.
Appearance
Edit
The Grizzled Seer appears as a short, hunchbacked, old man with grizzled hair, beard, and ram-like horns. He dons a purple cloak and a staff and, as his name suggests, he is capable of predicting the future.
StoryEdit
Shovel of HopeEdit
In Shovel of Hope, the Grizzled Seer can be found in the Village around the far right exit, where he encourages Shovel Knight on his quest to the Tower of Fate. A second Grizzled Seer is seen in the beginning of Frigid Flight, however in a green robe instead of the purple one. This seer is much more disrespectful, mocking Shovel Knight's apparent inability to proceed further the dangerous path.
The Grizzled Seer reappears at the end among the rest of the village, as the Tower of Fate crumbles.
Plague of ShadowsEdit
In the ending of Plague of Shadows, the Grizzled appears among the inhabitants of the Village who watch the destruction of the Tower of Fate.
Specter of TormentEdit
In Specter of Torment, the Grizzled Seer is among the inhabitants of the Lich Yard who flee upon the invasion of their village by the undead.
King of CardsEdit
In King of Cards, the Grizzled Seer can be found in the right room of the Card Shack.
DialogueEdit
Shovel of HopeEdit
Grizzled Seer found in the village:
- "Grizzled Seer: Shovel Knight! Many trials await you! Don't despair! May each defeat strengthen your resolve!"
Grizzled Seer found in Frigid Flight:
- "Grizzled Seer: What dangerous cliffs! Planning to go farther? Better learn how to fly, HA HA HA!"
King of CardsEdit
- "Grizzled Seer: Don't despair when your opponent captures a gem! Let them take a gem and then push their card off, HA!"
TriviaEdit
- His sprite model is named "Tim".
- This and his overall appearence, may indicate that he is based on Tim the Enchanter from the comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
