Shovel of Hope[edit | edit source]
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. He reappears in the beginning of Frigid Flight, however in a green robe instead of the purple one. This time he 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.

- "Grizzled Seer: Shovel Knight! Many trials await you! Don't despair! May each defeat strengthen your resolve!"
Grizzled Seer found in Frigid Flight:

King of Cards[edit | edit source]
When first talked to:
- "Grizzled Seer: King Pridemoor, that you? Aye, vision isn't what it was. But I'm still watching yer secret Joustus cards."
- "King Knight: You must have mistaken me for.... A fool, if you don't think I've noticed your hard work!Good job!"
- "Grizzled Seer: Thank you, your highness. That's nice to hear. Take yer special card. Asked me to fetch it, didn't ya?"
If talked to a second time:
- "Grizzled Seer: I'll never forget yer face, King Pridemoor. The red and gold glow of a true noble, in every way."
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- His sprite model is named "Tim".
- This and his overall appearance, may indicate that he is based on Tim the Enchanter from the comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
- It is unknown how two Grizzled Seers appear in the House of Joustus, as there is only one.[2]
