Items are special power-ups for the playable knights to use in Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon. They work in tandem with the Relics in order to increase the scope of attacks that can be used. In the Guidebook, Potions and the various types of Bombs are classified as Items.
Acquiring[]
Items can be found in each of the Pocket Dungeon's Dungeons, being far more common than the semi-permanent Relics. There are mainly four types of Items: the first are temporary upgrades in damage to the standard attack; the second is a secondary attack of limited use that can be unleashed at will, the third are Items that immediately come into use once collected, and the last one is a type of Items that only appear in Multiplayer, being specifically tooled to disrupt the adversary.
If the Dungeon is finished without dying the Item will be retained for the following Dungeon, and so on until its total depletion, the occurrence of death or upon deciding to willingly go back to the campsite. Once at the campsite any Items acquired is lost, necessarily needing to find them again during the next Dungeon run in order to benefit of their effects a second time.
Two particularly rare Items are the two Troupple Chalices, which are offered by the Troupple King once found in an extra room in a Dungeon. Only one of them can be chosen at the time, with the Ichor inside lasting until the end of that specific Dungeon.
