The Remnant of Fate is the final boss of Shovel of Hope and the final form of The Enchantress. Shovel Knight fights the Remnant of Fate with Shield Knight at his side.
Story[]
Shovel of Hope[]
After The Enchantress's defeat and her expurgation from Shield Knight's body, with the shattering of the amulet her magic recombined itself, forming a monstrosity that would had laid waste upon the Valley if left unchecked.
Despite their injuries, Shovel Knight and Shield Knight team up to the destroy the malevolent being. Eventually, just as the Tower of Fate begins to crumble, they succeed, only for Shovel Knight to be knocked out by one last desperate attack of the monster. Protecting him with her shield, Shield Knight is then joined by Black Knight, whom she tasks to take her unconscious companion to safety. Black Knight protests in vain, fearing that Shield Knight will be torn apart by the dark magic, and goes on to evacuate Shovel Knight to safety.
At the end of the campaign, an injured Shield Knight eventually made it out of the Tower of Fate before its destruction and joined the still unconscious Shovel Knight by the warmth of a campfire.
Behavior and Tactics[]
Attacks[]
The Remnant of Fate has only four attacks. One is to raise one arm and unleash two pink energy balls moving side to side. Another is unleashing a stream of smaller energy balls that travel across the screen. When this attack is used Shovel Knight can only avoid damage by staying on one side of Shield Knight, who will raise her shield to destroy some of the projectiles. After taking damage, The Remnant of Fate will crash down on one of the platforms causing it to disappear, leaving a pit. Lastly, The Remnant of Fate can summon three to four pink energy balls, releasing them all at once or two at a time.
Strategy[]
The only way a player can attack The Remnant of Fate, besides using the War Horn, is by Shovel Droping whenever Shield Knight jumps up and holds her shield upright and going on top of the Remnant of Fate's head. Any magic should mainly be used for the Phase Locket, as with most other relics it would be hard to attack the Remnant of Fate's head.
The player can also use the Propeller Dagger or the Dust Knuckles to stay in the air after jumping off Shield Knight and attacking The Remnant's head with it.
Trivia[]
- The Remnant of Fate's appearance does not change to resemble The Enchanter in Body Swap Mode.
- The projectiles shot by the Remnant Spiral are modeled after the Remnant of Fate own projectiles.
- The Remnant of Fate is drawn on the floor's tiles of The Enchantress's boss room in Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon.
- As seen in Shovel Knight Dig, the Remnant of Fate is implied to be the true form of The Enchantress, as she manifested herself in a ghostly version of the Remnant when she first briefly escaped her seal from the amulet.
