Should I spend my money or save up? Is the risk of losing it all worth it?

Villager, Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope

Villagers are minor characters in Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove. They usually roam the Village and Armor Outpost.

Appearance[]

Villagers appear as male humans with long hair and casual clothing.

Story[]

Shovel of Hope[]

In Shovel of Hope, Villagers can be found at the Village and Armor Outpost, giving adventuring tips. One of them appears at the Forest of Phasing, hinting at the use of the Phase Locket to pass the stage.

In the ending, a Villager can be seen among the Village's inhabitants celebrating the fall of the Tower of Fate.

Plague of Shadows[]

In Plague of Shadows, Villagers can be found at the Village but are scared off by Plague Knight. One of them flees aboard the Aerial Anvil after Plague Knight's invasion of the Armor outpost.

In the ending again, a Villager is among the crowd watching the Tower of Fate crumbling down.

Specter of Torment[]

A Villager appears in the ending of Specter of Torment, fleeing from the village by the Lich Yard overrun by the dead.

Wandering red and white clothed Villager in the Village "Villager: I'm afraid I'm gonna run out of Health! I've gotta get a Meal Ticket!"
Wandering black and yellow clothed Villager in the Village "Villager: You know those glass checkpoints? You can break 'em for treasure... But if you do, they stop being checkpoints!"
Black and white clothed Villager in the Forest of Phasing "Villager: Yikes! Spikes! If only I could phase away to safety, I could cross and get so much treasure!"
Wandering black and white clothed Villager at the Armor Outpost "Villager: Should I spend my money or save up? Is the risk of losing it all worth it?"
Wandering blue and white clothed Villager at the Armor Outpost "Villager: The Armorer will hold onto any armor you buy, and he'll let you swap 'em out whenever you want!"

Wandering blue and white clothed Villager in the House of Joustus "Villager: Did you know you can hold [x] to speed up a Joustus game? That way, you can get to your next turn quickly.
Yup, it makes the action speed up quickly and cleany, and gets you through all that flowery extraneous fluff!
"

Trivia[]

  • The Villager's model is named "Shopkeep Hank" in his concept art.[1] His sprite model is named "Pippin", which comes from the developers seeking to add "pippin" characters to the village areas to cheer on Shovel Knight.[2]
