With his trusty Shovel Blade, Shovel Knight tunnels after them in a quest to keep the entire land from collapsing underfoot!<\/p>\n<p>At its core, Shovel Knight Dig is a roguelite platformer. There are thousands of pixel-perfect level chunks, which are procedurally stitched together to create infinite adventurous combinations. Each trip down the well will bring you closer to discovering the secrets lying at the bottom. With that said, here\u2019s four tips to surviving the dangers that await you in the well:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Image-3-9357311f0e609628ebf5.jpg\" alt=\"Shovel Knight screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-209092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Image-3-9357311f0e609628ebf5.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Image-3-9357311f0e609628ebf5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Image-3-9357311f0e609628ebf5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Image-3-9357311f0e609628ebf5-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Momentum is key but do not blindly delve into danger! The well is chock-full of baddies, level hazards, and surprises so, it\u2019s worth taking a second to look before you shovel drop. If a certain level hazard feels too dangerous, do not be afraid to detour. As you progress in the well, you\u2019ll even be able to choose between which stages you\u2019ll encounter. Depending on your pick-ups (relics, armor, abilities, etc.) certain paths might suit your run more than others. It can feel tricky in the beginning but the more you play, the more muscle memory you\u2019ll have on how to get through each stage.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Image-4-6891136ded1c9fb71c97.jpg\" alt=\"Shovel Knight screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-209094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Image-4-6891136ded1c9fb71c97.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Image-4-6891136ded1c9fb71c97-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Image-4-6891136ded1c9fb71c97-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Image-4-6891136ded1c9fb71c97-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>You\u2019ll fare better in your run if you start collecting early on. Gems will give you the ability to buy food from Gastronomole, abilities from Master Argus, and nifty items and Relics from Chester. Collecting three golden gear pieces will grant you an award, but you must choose carefully between a free upgrade or leaving with your health restored. Entering side rooms can lead you to rewards like health and slot upgrades, chests, eggs, secrets, and challenges! There\u2019s a ton to discover and encounter while on your run. Just keep your eyes peeled and you\u2019ll feel like an unstoppable shovel-god by the time you get to the bottom of the well.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Visit the Surface Between Runs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Image-5-f852acd453db9dc2f772.jpg\" alt=\"Shovel Knight screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-209095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Image-5-f852acd453db9dc2f772.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Image-5-f852acd453db9dc2f772-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Image-5-f852acd453db9dc2f772-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Image-5-f852acd453db9dc2f772-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Make sure to visit the Hoofman, Armorer, and Chester after your runs.
