I love how each expansion is better than the last, and they're all so full of surprises. I try not to follow them before release, and one day I just decided "Alright, I'll play Plague Knight". I didn't expect a whole new story with a bunch of new places!
Specter just had new levels! And King of Cards is basically Shovel Knight's Mario 3 with a whole bunch of secret stuff, unexpected bosses and triple triad. One thing I didn't like is the ending. Feels like it should've ended with Shovel Knight beating the rear end in a top hat, and him crawling back to his mom. In the actual ending, pretty much no one is happy.
But overall I think this is the best one! The levels are all great!

I think it's just an esster egg. The only other time it's mentioned is the credits. But yes, I did the same, since it's the right choice.

I've not had trouble with any of the card games so far but I've lost to Skip maybe 10 times in a row.

I had a lot of trouble with him and then I came back later with some better cards and beat him first try.

It's cool that they have in game cheat codes so you can just skip joustus if you want

Is there any way to get decrees? I need one for the thing the npc tells you to do in the abyss but I already used the one I had.

do you get anything for 100% crests. I went back and found the handful I left in levels but now I just have 23 joustus matches and I'm really bad at joustus

Yeah, when you talk to the Bard with all the medals he uses the extra 25 to make a special bonus on the bow of your ship. It's just a cosmetic reward.

Specifically it's a gigantic statue of King Knight.

It reminds me of the super ghouls and ghosts boss with the platforms and the lasers.

I loved this one and now I'm gonna finally replay the others. I've only done shovel and specter once and to my shame I never got the hang of plague. This time I'm gonna beat that one no matter what.

Oh yeah and it's really hard too, I think it's harder than the story final boss if only because you have to do it with no vigor.

that's not exactly true becasue the vigor armor causes drops + you can use commandmants

Os there an easy way to grind cash so I can finish buying all the random cards from Chester?

the stage before the last 4th card house seems good. get the secret chests, smash the check point, go thru red exit, gets u like 4000+ gold and takes like 30 seconds and isn't really hard

take the safe file to ng+. theres a new gold multiplier that increases when you dont get hit. up to 5x normal value.
