An unstoppable arc of destruction. Crush foes above and below!

The Throwing Anchor is a Relic in Shovel of Hope and Plague of Shadows and an ability in Showdown.

It also reappeared as an Item in the Paradox Pack DLC for Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon.

Shovel of Hope[]

Usage[]

The Throwing Anchor allows the player to throw anchors in an upwards arch to damage enemies. It is very useful for damaging enemies floating above Shovel Knight. It costs Magic 6 on use, and only one anchor can be thrown at a time.

The Throwing Anchor is the subject of the Arc of Iron Feat, which is earned by defeating 3 enemies with a single throw.

Availability[]

The Throwing Anchor can be purchased from Chester in the Iron Whale for Treasures icon 3000, or purchased in the Village for Treasures icon 3500 after completing the stage.

Plague of Shadows[]

In Plague of Shadows, Plague Knight can find the Throwing Anchor in the place Shovel Knight normally buys it from in the Iron Whale. It can be traded with with Chester for the Vat Arcana in the stage's secret area marked by a Cipher Coin embedded in a wall.

Showdown[]

In Showdown, the Throwing Anchor works as Goldarmor's ranged attack and functions exactly like in Shovel of Hope for Shovel Knight, but with an added benefit of being able to be "pogo-sticked" from with Goldarmor's Down Thrust ability. It's also renamed from Throwing Anchor to Anchor Toss.
