Story[]
King of Cards[]
When King Knight first attempts to use the Rat Rope outside of the House of Joustus, Cooper and the Bard approach him offering him a partnership to claim the Joustus crown. King Knight accepts, and the three use the rat rope that leads them aboard the Glidewing, Cooper's airship. After Cooper welcomes King Knight, he can walk to the engine room on the left side of the Glidewing, where he'll find Hengineer. When King Knight approaches her, she introduces herself and offers King Knight to browse her freelance inventions, which he can purchase.
She cheers for King Knight along with the rest of his allies when they assemble at several points during the game.

Depending on how many followers were recruited, Hengineer may or may not be present to support him when he battles the Enchantress, and consequently may be among those knocked off the Tower of Fate when he chooses to join the Order of No Quarter. If she isn't, she's in her usual spot on the Glidewing, panicking at the ship being overrun by the Enchantress and Propeller Knight's forces.
She's then seen during the ending in King Knight's former room in the Homestead, repairing TMK-500 if it was recruited or a Tinkerbot if not. She's successful in doing so, to the applause of Doe and any other former members of King Knight's retinue from his adventure.
