Story

Shovel of Hope

In Shovel of Hope, the Shovel Smith can be found at his forge in the Aerial Anvil, in the Armor Outpost. He can upgrade Shovel Knight's Shovel Blade with special abilities.

He appears in the ending, working with Tinker Knight and the Armorer in the Clockwork Tower to make toys for children.

King of Cards

In the prequel King of Cards, the Shovel Smith joined the Armorer to participate in the Joustus tournament. With his colleague, they act as one of the Joustus players in the Cavern of Joustus and have to be defeated before facing the local champion, Mona. They also claim to have been paid by the Troupple King himself to forge the gate at the entrance of the Royal Pond.

Shovel of Hope King of Cards Talked to in the Armor Outpost "Shovel Smith: That's a nice Shovel Blade you have here, lad... but I can improve it! Unlock its true abilities!" Talked to in the Armor Outpost with all upgrades acquired "Shovel Smith: You now hold in your hands the ultimate Shovel Blade. How to use it is now your choice, lad." Talked to in the Armor Outpost with the Grave Digger's Shovel "Shovel Smith: Much as I hate to admit it, lad, I'm a Shovel Blade specialist. So this Grave Digger's Shovel is... a bit out o' my wheelhouse. Maybe the Armorer'd have some insight?" Talked to at the Cavern of Joustus "Armorer: Aye, we've built the great gate! The hinges took ages to forge, but our client paid a kingly sum!" "Shovel Smith: Get this, mate. He claimed he was a Forest God. Fishier'n a room full o' Troupples, if y'ask me." "Armorer: A ha hah! A whale of a tale! Fancy a round, stranger?" Accepting the duel of Joustus "Shovel Smith: And mate? If ya ever meet a bloke claimin' to be an acolyte... do yerself a favor- take the job!"
