The War Horn is a Relic in Shovel of Hope and Plague of Shadows, an ability in Showdown, and an Item in Pocket Dungeon and Shovel Knight Dig.

Shovel of Hope[]

Usage[]

The War Horn can be used to destroy enemies in a small area around the player. It is one of the most powerful Relics as it immediately destroys most enemies that are in its range, at the heavy cost of Magic 20.

The War Horn is the subject of the Boom! Feat, which is earned by defeating 5 foes at once with a single use of the Relic.

Availability[]

The War Horn can be purchased from Chester in the Stranded Ship for Treasures icon 4000 gold, or in the Village for Treasures icon 5000 after completing the stage.

Plague of Shadows[]

In Plague of Shadows, Plague Knight can find the War Horn in the secret area of the Stranded Ship marked by a Cipher Coin embedded in a wall. It can be traded with Chester for the Berserker's Brew Arcana in the place Shovel Knight normally buys it from.

Showdown[]

In Showdown, Shovel Knight uses the War Horn as his [PARRY] move.

Pocket Dungeon[]

Usage[]

In Pocket Dungeon, the War Horn is an Item that normally only has 2 uses. Once activated, it blasts the area around on a 2 squares radius around the player, dealing 3 damage points to any foe or obstacles in its range.

Availability[]

The War Horn can potentially be obtained during runs of the Pocket Dungeon from chests or in side-rooms.

Shovel Knight Dig[]

In Shovel Knight Dig, the War Horn returns as a Relic, being one of the ones available from the start, without Hoofman's aid. It can be found in Treasure Chests or occasionally bought from Chester for 650 gems.

Trivia[]

  • The War Horn has a smaller area of effect when used by Shovel Knight during his boss fight in Plague of Shadows.
