I beat Plague Knight without taking a hit without using the Phase Locket in thirteen seconds.
#Shovel Knight#Shovel of Hope#Plague Knight#Gameplay#Perfect Run#Pro Strats#Coolness#Is this the fastest time Plague Knight's ever been beaten?#No. The WR run of Shovel of Hope has Plague Knight beaten in like three seconds.#But do you know what my run has that the WR run doesn't?#For instance I made it a requirement NOT to use the Phase Locket because that'd defeat the purpose of my goal#So not only is it damageless but ALSO relic-less#But secondly... can we talk about the PRECISION here?#I didn't miss a single swing! Every bomb thrown was sent right back where it came from!#AND the vat attack evasion where I leapt off the screen is noteworthy too for one reason#Notice that Plague throws a bomb upward once I'm off the screen. Sometimes that can count as a hit.#But I must have been WAY off-screen because you'll notice the bomb never comes back down or hits me.#It flat-out despawns.#And then from that moment onward it was a swift finish! My friend said this whole run looks like a TAS#It ain't no TAS (Tool-Assisted Speedrun by the way).#(Dons sunglasses) I'm just that good
